Procreate Brush Making Tutorial

This Procreate tutorial will have you making your own brushes in no time, even if you've never made a brush before. This won't just be any old brush, either, it will take your watercolor art and turn it into a stamp brush you can use again and again. Grab your iPad and your Apple Pencil, and let’s go!

In this tutorial, I’ve used a brush from my Watercolor Magic brush pack (link below) but you can use any watercolor brush you like. If you only have the brushes that came with Procreate, the best one for a watercolor look is “Wild Light” in the Artistic section. I have a free paper texture for you in the Birch Grove, and when you sign up for access (again, link below!), you’ll find all kinds of great freebies in there - brushes, color palettes, paper textures, and more!

The tutorial covers:

Setting up your Procreate canvas
Creating your watercolor art
Removing the paper texture from the background
Getting the right settings for your new brush

Fair warning: making stamp brushes can be addictive, so start this process at your own risk!
