Drawing assist
Used to play pubg
Was loving it until I came across drawing assist effect not turning off. There’s three ways where can turn it off and those three aren’t working when you turn them all off. Went to YouTube, and yes other people were asking about it and there was no answer. Went to procreate.com and yes people were asking about it too and still no answer. Please fix it.Edit: Thank you so much. I have got your email and it has been fixed.Request. Can Pattern brushes be improved? My chain brushes are doing well until you stoke it at a sharp angle where the link seems to be deformed. So had to fixed it by manually drawing again. Photoshop brushes has the perfect pattern brush setting. Itll be great to take some ideas from photoshop.Thanks so much.
Developer Response
Edited 03/02/2025 - Hey there, thanks for the updated review! Its great to hear the team could help you via email. We'd like to collect more information about your feedback. Could you please send us an example of one of these pattern brushed that has had this trouble with sharp angles and how this looks? Please reach out to us again using the Support form (procre.at/support) and we'll be happy to look into this to better understand the issue and how we can improve. 🫶04/12/2024 - Edited 04/12/2024 - Hi there - It sounds like you could have the Drawing Assist option permanently active from the Gesture controls. If you have already turned off the Drawing Guide the toggle from the Actions menu (wrench icon) and the Layers panel to turn the Assisted drawing off, please try the following: From your Procreate canvas, go to Actions ( 🔧) > Prefs > Gesture controls > from the left panel select Assisted Drawing > here you can make sure that the ‘Touch’ or ‘Apple Pencil’ toggles are disabled, since these would cause your lines to be always assisted after activating a Drawing Guide once. - If the issue continues, try to reset your Gesture Controls, by going to Actions > Prefs > Gesture controls > go to General > tap on Reset to defaults, and confirm this change. If none of these options help, could you please send us a video of the issue you are experiencing? You can do this and message us anytime via the Support Form at this link: procre.at/support - it is our official channel, to help you always in a timeline manner. 🙏24/08/2023 - Edited 24/08/2023 - Hi there - Your review and feedback are truly valued by us, as these help us improve Procreate further based on what our community needs.

If you would like to see a specific idea, you can submit it to the Procreate Folio at procre.at/ideas, so others can vote for it, also for possible future consideration.// Edited 15/06/2023 - Hey there, thanks for the edit. We appreciate the feedback and the input. We don't have plans to add vector tools, but it's always good to know what the community would like to see added.Edited 26/04/2023: Hey there - thank you for the review! We recommend you check out the Drawing Guides feature, accessible in Actions > Canvas. This might help until we can offer more comprehensive measurement tools. ✨ We don't have plans for a Pen tool, but we'll do our best to improve upon visual fidelity with large canvases in the future. 😁Edited 19/04/2023: Hey there - thanks for the edit and the input here! We will definitely make our best efforts to further improve upon how pattern brushes work in Procreate, with future improvements to the brush engine. In addition to this, better printing capabilities may be on the cards for the future, too. 🙏Hi Used to play pubg - Thank you for taking the time to share some feedback with us!

OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
