Achieving Smooth Lines in Procreate Pocket: The Power of Streamline

Every artist knows the significance of maintaining control over their lines. Especially when sketching on mobile devices, achieving that perfectly smooth stroke can be a challenge due to screen size or stylus sensitivity. However, with Procreate Pocket, there's a game-changing feature named Streamline that's here to help.

What is Streamline?

Streamline is a feature in Procreate Pocket designed to assist in smoothing out your lines as you draw. This is particularly beneficial for calligraphers or any artist aiming for pieces where fluid and precise strokes are key.

How to Use Streamline? A Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Open your project in Procreate Pocket.

  2. Select the brush you intend to use.

  3. Tap on the brush icon in the top menu to access brush settings.

  4. Within the settings menu, tap on the "Stroke" tab.

  5. Here, you'll find the "Streamline" slider. Slide it to the right to increase the smoothing percentage. A recommended setting is around 30-40%.

Why 30-40%?

Setting Streamline to 40% offers an ideal blend of control and flexibility. It allows for the smoothing of lines without sacrificing the dynamics of your sketch. Cranking up the percentage might render the lines too "elastic" or "automated," which can potentially inhibit your creative flow.

Streamline is a potent tool within Procreate Pocket that every artist should be familiar with. Not only does it aid in refining your lines, but it also enhances the overall quality of your artwork, making it look more polished and professional. Don't hesitate to experiment with varying percentages to find the perfect balance for your unique drawing style.
