So, this setting allows you to control your pen\u2019s taper manually.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Touch Taper Settings:<\/strong> Since you cannot use regular pen pressure settings while using your finger to draw on your iPad, these settings allow you to add some natural looking taper effects to your brush, regardless of your drawing tool!

Yes, that&#8217;s right! You can make your own custom brush out of pretty much any image you want! Want to know how? Here are the steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1<\/h3>\n<p>To make an image work as a brush in Procreate, you will first need to edit it. An image with no background or a light background with a dark subject will work best.<\/p>\n<p>If the background of your image is dark, it will make the brush a square, rather than the shape of the object. So, let&#8217;s start editing!
