Edit the default Procreate watercolor brush for better results

If you are not happy with the default Procreate watercolor brush, then follow my tips to change it. Please let me know in the comments what do you think of this! Did you try it?

Thanks for the awesome watercolor brush! I have downloaded a few that I like alright, but they didn’t give me enough pigment variation. This one can be slightly adjusted to achieve a better acrylic paint brush as well.

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

Thank you for your feedback! There are many ways to adjust the brush and create better versions than mine 😀

[@Ghill77777]

Thank you so much - you've just opened up another world to me 😮- I hadn't a clue where to start or what to do but wasn't hugely impressed with the default watercolour brush on procreate.
You voice, the gentle speed you went through it all was perfect 😊

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

You made my day! Thank you 😊 I think my example in this video isn’t the greatest watercolour brush, but keep playing around with the settings and you’ll make something that’s right for you 👍

[@petrahachmann5289]

That’s really cool, I’m a little bit afraid of making one brushes…thanks for sharing

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

Just start and you will see that it’s not that complicated. Make sure you duplicate the default brush before you modify it 😊

[@aaaashleyyyyy]

So much better, thank you for sharing this.

Good stuff thank you very much! Saves me from buying from some website. ❤

There are many great brushes to buy that give better watercolour effect. You can also find lots of free ones here: folio.procreate.com/discussions/10/28/25109

Whoa..thank you so much. I dont have to buy watercolor brushes in online store. Keep teaching us, please.

Some of the brushes are verrrry nice that you can buy. I don’t think this one brush can replace all watercolour brushes out there, but it’s a good start 😊

What a great brush! Unfortunately mine doesnt work that well... it doesnt overlay on itself when i go over the same area in the same brushstroke... any idea on why that could be???

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

Hmm, maybe check under Rendering that it is set to Light Glaze. And if you’re using a third party pencil, it also might not work that well with pressure sensitivity.

Hey, which app are you using please?!

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

It’s the Procreate app for iOS

[@viccolasvic9461]

Is there any way to get the max size of the shape bigger? The shape seems to max out

[@dunedigitaldesigns]

When you go into the brush settings, click on Apple Pencil and adjust the size under pressure. That might make it bigger.

[@dayfasahlaazeeza8745]

mine dosen't work, it is because i didn't use apple pencil? :

Unfortunately it could be just that. Some brushes do not work with a third party pencils.
