Step 1: Gather Your Resources
Before you start creating your bubble letter brush, gather the following resources:
– A Procreate tablet or iPad with the Procreate app installed.
– A reference image of bubble letters or any design you want to convert into a brush.
– A drawing tablet or pen for sketching out your brush design on paper.
Step 2: Sketch Your Brush Design
Using a drawing tablet or pen, sketch your bubble letter brush design on paper. You can use any bubble letter style or combine multiple elements to create a unique brush. Once you are satisfied with your design, scan or take a clear photo of it to use as a reference in Procreate.
Step 3: Create a New Brush in Procreate
Open Procreate and create a new canvas by tapping on the “+” icon in the lower-left corner. Select a suitable size for your brush and tap “Create.”
Step 4: Import Your Reference Image
Tap on the “Layers” button in the top menu and then tap on the “+” icon to add a new layer. Select “Import” and choose the reference image of your bubble letter brush design that you scanned or photographed earlier.
Step 5: Trace Your Brush Design
With the reference image layer selected, use the “Pencil” tool to trace over your bubble letter brush design. Make sure to follow the curves and shapes accurately. You can adjust the size and opacity of the pencil tool to suit your needs.
Step 6: Create a Vector Shape
Once you have traced your brush design, select the “Shape” tool from the top menu. Tap on the “Create Vector Shape” button and then trace over the traced lines. This will convert your brush design into a vector shape, allowing you to manipulate it more easily.
Step 7: Save Your Brush
With the vector shape selected, tap on the “Edit” button in the top menu. Then, tap on the “Save Brush” button. Choose a name for your bubble letter brush and select the brush category you want to save it in. Tap “Save” to create your new brush.
Step 8: Test Your Brush
Now that you have created your bubble letter brush, tap on the “Brush” button in the top menu to select it. Use the brush on your canvas to test its performance. Adjust the size, opacity, and flow settings to achieve the desired effect.
