Original: *“Why draw every leaf when one brush stroke can make a tree? That’s what Bob Ross did.”* Paraphrase: Instead of manually drawing details, leverage expressive brushes—like Ross’s single-stroke trees—to save time and spark creativity. 2. Original: *“The new brushes feel like cheating, but it’s about fun and outcomes.”* Paraphrase: Some tools may seem too easy, but the goal is joyful creation and artistic results, not struggle for its own sake. --- ## 📰 Newsletter 🎨 **Procreate 5.4: Brushes That Feel Like Magic** In a sneak peek, Art with Flo explored **Procreate 5.4**—and it’s brimming with new brushes, libraries, and better organization. From nostalgic markers to impressionistic textures that rival Monet, this update is all about **play and possibility**. You’ll be able to: - Create your own brush libraries (think “charcoal-only toolkit”). - Use new *wet edge* watercolor brushes that finally feel natural. - Explore comic and landscape brushes that simplify detailed work. Not all brushes are final (it’s still in beta), but the future looks painterly bright. Full replay: [Check it out here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMB5cdBZsZ0). --- ## ✅ Action Items - For **WordPress/OSS advocacy**: draw parallels between brush libraries and plugin ecosystems → both thrive on modularity and user curation. - For **OSPO prep**: use Procreate’s community-driven preview model as an analogy for transparent, iterative governance in open source. - For **education**: build workshop curriculum around “tool choice vs. skill growth,” showing how new tech lowers barriers but requires thoughtful teaching. --- ## 🧪 Hypotheses - H1: Easier brush organization increases productivity in digital art. - H2: Playful, expressive brushes enhance beginner retention in creative learning apps. - H3: Communities with transparent beta access foster stronger loyalty and adoption. ### 📊 Methodology - User surveys comparing pre- vs. post-5.4 productivity. - Longitudinal analysis of beginners using expressive brushes vs. standard sets. - Case study: Procreate’s beta preview vs. closed dev cycles. ### ❓ Questions - Will brush libraries expand to include color palettes? - Do new brushes democratize art or risk homogenization? - How might this model inspire OSS design thinking? ### 🔮 Future Research - Study parallels between **digital art tool UX** and **WordPress plugin management**. - Explore community co-design in creative apps. - Test whether “expressive brushes” reduce creative burnout. ### 💡 Implications - Could influence OSS communities to streamline onboarding tools. - Highlights the value of giving users expressive defaults to keep them engaged. --- ## 🧠 Learning Styles Assessment - **Visual**: Strong—brush previews & textures directly aid spatial learners. - **Aural**: Present—live commentary engages auditory learners. - **Verbal**: Moderate—descriptions but limited analogies. Could expand. - **Kinesthetic**: Weak—no guided practice tasks suggested. - **Logical**: Some reasoning on brush effects; could add structured tutorials. - **Social**: Strong—interactive live chat creates community. - **Solitary**: Limited—few prompts for reflection. - **Naturalistic**: Mild—environment brushes hint at natural contexts. --- ## 📊 Accessibility Assessment - Transcript-friendly format is usable, but lacks **alt-text** for visuals. - Screen reader support unclear—needs semantic HTML when published. - Contrast/readability: fine for video, transcripts should segment for clarity. --- ## 🌍 DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) Assessment - Cultural representation: narrow focus (English, Western art lens). - Inclusive language: neutral but casual; avoids exclusion. - Neurodiversity: better structuring needed for ADHD/ASD accessibility. - Representation: limited—voices from broader global art communities missing. - Psychological safety: tone positive, community-focused. --- ## ✅ Logical Validity - **Sound reasoning**: Brush libraries → better organization → improved efficiency (valid cause-effect). - **Fallacy spotted**: Appeal to tradition—relying on “Bob Ross did it” as justification. - **Tone**: Friendly, informal, playful. --- ## 🔍 DARVO Analysis - **Deny**: None present. - **Attack**: Minimal—only joking critiques (e.g., “these brushes feel like cheating”). - **Reverse victim/offender**: Not applicable. Overall: No DARVO; tone is exploratory and collaborative. --- ## 🔍 SEO Evaluation - Keywords: “Procreate 5.4,” “brush library,” “new brushes.” Present. - Meta: Missing; could summarize update for discoverability. - Headers: Weak in transcript, but recap provides hierarchy. - Internal links: Could connect to Procreate site/blog. - Engagement: High via live stream + replays. --- ## 🎯 Conclusion Procreate 5.4 is shaping up to be a **landmark update**: richer brushes, custom libraries, better search, and expressive textures. Art with Flo’s preview underscores how digital art tools thrive on **ease + expressiveness**. For open-source advocates, it parallels how plugin ecosystems evolve—users crave both structure and play. The update, still in preview, promises to keep Procreate ahead as a go-to digital canvas. --- - Summary: I have access to the new Procreate 5.4 Alpha, let’s go check it out together! Join the chat and tell me what you want to see. - URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMB5cdBZsZ0 about this session because we are going to check out Procreate 5.4. This is like a preview. It's not like the final uh version. So, I don't know. Perhaps not all brushes you'll be seeing will be in the final version. I don't know. But yeah, this is this is just a sneak peek. I haven't checked out all these brushes yet, so it's new for me, too. So, yeah, let's just let's just check it out. they have made some really nice uh improvements I I have heard. So, if you go to the brush library now, you can immediately see that it's totally different these um like brush sets, it looks different with that nice rounded uh button style. And you can see that they have so many different um yeah, different brush packs. And if you go to this little thing, oh that's this is like the classic library. So the these are just the Procreate brushes, but you can also go back to libraries. And I guess this is where you can store like your preferred libraries. So you can make a library of your own with, I don't know, perhaps all sorts of watercolor brushes or all your favorite flow brushes. Sounds like a good idea. So yeah, this looks really uh really uh very helpful. I also I think I've read um that you can also search for brushes. I'm not sure how that works yet. Maybe Oh, here I can see I can see it. If you scroll up, you get the search bar. So I'm not sure what to search for. Um maybe like a pastel. Oh, then you get these uh you get the brush set and these brushes. That's super handy. This is just a great addition. I'm not sure how to get out of here though. Oh, like this. So, yeah. Hi everyone. Um, yeah, we we're just going to I'm just diving in right here because I'm just super excited about this update and about all these new brushes that I'm seeing here. Let's just start at the top. Um, the fault name, I'm not sure how soon it's going to be available. Um, if I would have to guess, I would maybe like the end of the year. I don't know. They haven't said anything to me, but I feel like that would make sense to do it around the end of the year. Um, and yeah, an animation. I'm I'm testing it. This is the test version. So, if we come across anything um like an issue, then we then or well, I can report it to Procreate and then they'll um then they'll know and then hopefully they'll improve um or fix the issue. So, yeah. I just want to I just want to try out some of these brushes because these are all brushes that aren't part of Procreate right now. I haven't heard of the Akitna brush yet. So, let's just check that out. That That's a pencil. Looks looks very nice and soft. It is pretty pretty small, but okay. Nice brush. the how should I pronounce it? Wara. I don't know. Sounds like wart. I know. I I don't know when they will update Procreate Dreams. I I don't really use Procreate Dreams, so I'm not really into that. But this also looks really nice. If you use the side of your pen, that looks really nice and soft. Just check that out. Super nice texture. lofty. This is almost like a crayon type of texture also. Really nice. That really sucks. Uh Cara, have you tried like updating your iPad perhaps? or if it keeps happening, I would just suggest reaching out to uh the Patreon uh not the Patreon, sorry, a Procreate team uh and they might be able to help you out. This also looks really nice. I'm I'm loving these brushes already. Such a nice texture. Then we have Brunie. Brun sounds like a person. It's a very soft brush, soft pencil. Very nice. And the paragrin. I'll have to practice pronouncing all of these brushes when we'll be using them in tutorials. This one looks like it would be perhaps nice for sketching. Bit small, but okay. I dig it. Ah, thank you. An animation. That's so sweet. Then we have pens. Kestrel. What's that? Um, I'm using purple, but it's showing up black, so I'm not sure what the settings are for this brush. Not sure why it's showing up that way. Maybe it's the blend mode. I don't know. Oh, this is also new in this version. The preview. How does that work? Oh, you can use a stamp or or this. I was just wondering if we could change it or something. I don't know. Okay, let's move on to the next one. Bel Reeve. That's a nice pen with some pressure sensitivity. Pretty cool. I'm not sure about that first one and why it's showing up black, but okay. Let's just go to LiFy. It's also a pretty basic nice crisp pen. Reminds me a bit of the studio pen. Well, I always try to come up with new isometric tutorials every once in a while. So, I don't have any planned um in the coming weeks, but I'm working on it. Oh, this one is nice as well. Super nice texture. It'll take some time getting to know all these brushes. This one's pretty basic. Jaggar sounds like someone from Game of Thrones or something. I just call it monoline probably. But Jagar sounds cool as well. All right, bronze wing. Yeah, that's nice. That has a nice texture. I like those type of brushes. Looks good for line work. And yeah, Captain Alex, this is a new update. It's not available yet. This is a preview of Procreate 5.4. And we're just going through the features and the brushes. The brushes, that's just the main thing that has well or will get an upgrade. Many new brushes and uh the library feature where you can go to your libraries and have different like combinations of brush packs. Super handy. And and as for um getting confident with sketching, that's really just a matter of just doing it very often and not not be too hard on yourself. It's really about putting in the hours and if you continue doing it, you you will improve. Or just try tracing at first. That'll also help you with your muscle memory. This one looks nice as well. These are the charcoals. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Yeah, looking good. Maybe I should see how they mix these colors. It's also always interesting to see. Oo, this one looks very nice and soft. Um, I'm not sure, uh, Charlotte, when it's coming out. Um, they haven't told me. I would guess maybe later this year. Um, and for your own favorites, yeah, you can make your own uh libraries. If you go to uh back to libraries, you can tap the plus and you can create a new library. Not sure how that works. Oh, well, let's let's just let's just call it test. Uh, and then here you can just add new brush packs and then create an entirely different set. I'm also wondering if you can move them perhaps. Would that be possible? Yeah, that's possible. All right. So, you can just drag and drop. I do want to put it back. Where was it? Here. Yeah, this is a very nice brush. Thank you so much, Nanimation, and it's great to see you here again in another live live stream. Nutcro is really nice as well. I can definitely see myself using this brush for texturing like more stylized illustrations. really nice. I don't know, Cassandra, when it will be available. The Procreate team hasn't mentioned that yet. So, we'll just have to be uh patient. This one's also a nice nice texture. I think the brush creators really did a great job. That's a nice challenge animation, but it it'll be great if you can manage to be um here for all of the live sessions. I might be doing another one coming Sunday. Yeah, I will save it to to my YouTube. All of the live sessions will automatically get saved so you can always watch it later. Then the pastels, five of them. Bandicoot. Oo, this looks nice. And it looks like it can blend nicely. Little bit less than I thought, but okay. Overland. Just remove this. This looks interesting. That's a great idea. An animation. This looks like a very waxy waxy crayon type of thing. Um, yeah, Lisa, I do believe that the old brushes will be there. Um, I don't I don't think they would uh throw those away and otherwise there will always be a way to import those into another library, I believe. So, maybe maybe some of them are in here. I don't know. We'll see later. But it will be crazy if they would throw those away. I put them in here. I would personally go talk to them if they would do that. I would not be happy with that. All right. oils. Platypus. Nice orca. Well, I'm glad you did an animation and I hope you enjoy them. No, not anyone can get into the preview. You need to be invited to uh to get access to the testing version. Well, th this section of brushes, the o oil brushes, it's not a section that I would um I probably wouldn't use it that often. These are not my favorites. Don't know why, but yeah, just not really my thing. I usually like the like the charcoals and pastels more. Well, thank you, Zoe. That's really great to hear. This looks super watery somehow. Almost looks like a watercolor brush. Then gouache. Yeah, this looks like an interesting brush. They have so many new brushes. It's crazy. Oh, that's also nice. Nice. And watery. I will definitely make a library for my own brushes and animation. That'll Well, that might be the first thing I'll do when this comes out. Not sure if you can export them. Oh, yeah. You can share them. So, I would be able to share an entire library. That's definitely interesting. Yeah, these are some nice brushes. See has pressure sensitivity a little bit or is it speed? I don't know. And yeah, they are finally giving us us a way to organize our brushes. This is so much better. So, um yeah, let me just show it again. uh you can uh slide down to use the search option. And if you go here, this is like the classic library, but you can have multiple uh libraries with different combinations of brush packs. So that's a really nice feature. These are just paints. Okay. Yeah, these are some interesting brushes. I'll I'll really have to experiment with these a lot to be able to figure out what I can use these for. What type of effects like this could definitely be some sort of bush with multiple colors, but these are a lot of brushes to go through to to find what I need. It's also very nice That watercolor is my stand is wobbling me. Why isn't this working? I'm sorry. I need to put something underneath. Starting to bother me. not improving, but okay, I'll just continue watercolors. Let's see. That looks really nice. I can definitely see myself using this. Um, no, I don't do 3D models. I don't do anything with 3D and I don't know anyone that does. I'm sorry. These brushes are are all uh standard Procreate brushes. And I'm not sure if all of these brushes will be part of the of the update, but these are the brushes that um that I can test right now that Procreate has made. So, these will all be or perhaps not all of them, but a lot of them will be available for free when you update the app. Um, I'm I'm sorry. I don't plan on creating a tutorial on how to get my brushes, but if you go to my website to the FAQ, then there are instructions. It's just a matter of signing up for the newsletter, and in every weekly newsletter, there is a link to the download page. This one is pretty interesting. It gets this wet edge effect. It's also pretty nice. They are definitely satisfying. Rita philosophers fall. This is also very nice. They are way better than the watercolor brushes that that used to be like the standard Procreate watercolor brushes. Markers. Nice. westerly way. Interesting effect. Kind of reminds me of some like markers I used to have as a kid where you well they were one color but then you could use another marker on top and then it would change the color. Crazy crazy markers. This looks nice as well. Oh, well, if it would come out in September, then that would be uh faster than uh I would expect, but that would be nice. Who knows? We'll have to see. I wonder if this effect if No, it doesn't apply to secondary color. It's just coincidence that this is turning into the color that I used before. So, colors do look darker and more saturated for the marker brushes. These look a little bit the same. Okay. And the Mac Pie. Yeah, these are pretty solid brushes. Then we got the inks swift. Yeah, I like that. It's a little bit wonky. Also a little bit like pixely. Not sure how I feel about that, but okay. Sheer water. Yeah, also pretty nice. Let's make a bit bigger. Yeah, I like that. that could very well be used combined with the watercolor brushes. By the way, this is really a brush for which I would have to look up how to pronounce this otherwise I'll have to avoid using it for my tutorials. And now in my videos, I don't draw from the top of my head. I always um prepare for my tutorials. Sometimes I draw something um two times, even three times before I dive into the video so that I'm sure that I know all the steps. I I think about all that ahead of time. Otherwise, my tutorials would probably be very chaotic. Although, at Patreon, I do um create videos every once in a while, every month, like a realism tutorial in which I just choose a reference image and then paint from that. That's not uh prepared for those videos. I just pick colors as I go, decide on how I will approach it um like in the moment. But for the other tutorials, I always have a plan. Oh, this is satisfying. This makes me want to create a nice pattern. Which iPad model? I am such a noob when it comes to models. I don't know. It's It's an iPad Pro, like the the big version, and I bought it two or three years ago, so it's not the latest version. I don't have the barrel roll option with my pen because I think it's ridicul ridiculous having to buy new iPads all the time to get all the latest features. Not sure what I think about this brush, by the way. Okay. lettering. That's something I'm not really good at. But okay, let's check these brushes. Well, this is pretty pretty basic ruby rose. Oh, here you can use the secondary color. Yeah, that's always nice to have. Well, hi Prism Hybrid. It's great that you're joining. Well, this is a brush with a little shadow effect. Also nice. Yeah, the older iPads definitely work great. I still have some older iPads as well. My daughters like using them, but yeah, they they still they still just work amazingly. I even have one with like the really old super heavy heavy iPad IP sorry Apple pencil which also still works. I really like this brush. Loving the texture. I probably won't be lettering with it but use it for something else. Yeah, I love that. Well, thank you, Prism Hybrid. That's so lovely to hear. Thank you. Yeah, this is a very lovely brush. and Providence. Could definitely use that brush for feathers, Alison. Yeah, you're totally right. That would look lovely. This is like as far as I can go with lettering. All right, essentials. So, these are the essentials everyone needs. according to Procreate. I'm also super curious about the next ones. Okay, this an essential. Uh yeah. Yeah, I like these kinds of brushes definitely. Um no, I'm sorry, Labara. This app doesn't work on a PC. This is uh iPad only. Little raven. That's just like an airbrush. Really soft. Could be nice for some blurry backgrounds. And then this it it should be an essential, but I'm not really sure what I would use a brush like this for. Ringaruna. What's that? This just feels like another studio pen, which is definitely an essential in my opinion, but one of the other brushes was a bit like this as well, so not really new. Forester. Well, if you want to make good color palettes, go well, what I would suggest, first of all, check my um ebook about color theory um by going to freefrontflow.com. And also check out other artworks or even like products and store or books. Just look around and see what color combinations like speak to you or what color combinations do you enjoy and draw inspiration from that lion rock. Yeah, this is also just a basic round brush. Oh, thank you animation. You're too kind. All right. Street art. What's that? Paradise. All right. Paragon. The preview looks interesting. Oh, that's nice. Like a half te effect. Yeah, that's pretty cool. And if you press harder, it'll get bigger. Beasley sounds like Weasley. Yeah, that's that's pretty nice. Could be useful. Thank you, Katarina. Well, thank you, Ella. That's s such a nice compliment. I've heard otherwise. Sometimes I get like these comments on YouTube like, "Ah, your voice is so annoying. I can't stand your voice." So, um it's always nice to hear if some someone thinks otherwise. or sometimes I get comments about my English. Well, English is not my first language. So, um sometimes I really can't help it. This looks like a really nice brush. I I think I will I will be using this the Anza. That's at least how I would pronounce it. Then we got Wolfie. Yeah, pretty cool. Well, thank you, Allison, that I'm 100% Dutch and I just try to improve my English over time, but um yeah, I do get like constricted by my vocabulary in Dutch. It's uh it's a bit bigger my vocabulary. Sometimes I struggle finding the right words or sometimes I don't know how to pronounce something, but I do my best. All right, these are the comics brushes. Where I'm from, I'm from the Netherlands. I live in Amsterdam, actually. So 100% Dutch. These are very nice, these comic brushes. Oh, this one would also be great for like wonky outlining. Very nice. If the color palettes will have a library, that's a good question. Let's see. Is there something? No. No, that would be nice. I do have a whole lot of color palettes that I need to like scroll through. um every time. So yeah, that would be would be handy. Maybe that's something that they'll do in the future. Well, thank you, Esme. Oh, I'm I'm totally Dutch, but that's that's a sweet compliment. Franklin. What's this? What's Franklin? Franklin doesn't do anything. What is this? What? Oh, this is like building alpha lock. This one has a certain blending mode shade. All right, that's new. Okay. Interesting. Oh, and it only works if it's lighter. I can't go over this. Crazy. Okay. Nice. Oh, I never use Dolingo. Don't worry. animation. I guess I learned English from TV when I was younger, watching all types of TV shows like Elf and Harry and the Hendersons. Lots of stuff, 18, Macyver, Airwolf. But I might, this might make me sound old. This one is very nice. I love this. This would be great for some shading with like a stippling effect. A yellow eye. This just looks crazy. This makes me want to fill my entire canvas with this and get a little bit dizzy. Well, thank you, Esme. Any new pattern brushes? I don't know. Uh, if there are, then we'll get to that. Here are the environment brushes. Let me just pick a more suitable color for that. This looks like another brush. I don't know. I don't remember the name, but one that's already in Procreate. But yeah, nice. This must be like a clouds brush. could give uh interesting effects. Not sure if I'd use it, but nice addition. Then some grass brush. I actually don't know Gem and the holograms to be honest. Well, say hi to your mom then, Chloe. That's really nice. This looks like a lovely grass brush. Yeah, I approve. Then what's this? Oh, this is like I believe that brush was called snow gum or something. This is like Yeah, looks a bit like snow or could be rock texture, stringy bark. Yeah, looks like stringy bark. Could definitely be useful for adding bark texture or creating crazy hair. You don't always have to use brushes for what they are like intended. Been a long day. must rhyme with something. Been a long ba been a long day. Oh, that's nice. That can be used for like water or distant mountains. Yeah, I like this. Hi. Let me try to pronounce your name. I'm I'm not sure. I'm not really. It's It looks like a Spanish name. Um Neil, it doesn't update by itself unless you have like um set that option. Um but usually you just get like a notification or something. You need to go to your app store and then update it. Pepper. That looks like it could be nice. Yeah, I like that. This is great for bushes. I'm definitely going to use this and tutorials. Yeah, this is flow approved. Then we have Grailia. Yeah, that's also nice. Guess we'll be making some landscapes with these new brushes. Creative. What's creative? Um, I actually don't remember ever drawing a dinosaur, but I did do a dragon drawing tutorial, like a baby dragon, and that tutorial is up at Patreon. Yeah, they do feel a little bit like cheating, uh, Greg, but, um, I'm all for it, too. It's just about the outcome and about having fun with those brushes. Why draw every single leaf if you can just have one brush stroke and create it? That's what Bob Ross did. He He just had one brush stroke and then it was a tree. Yeah, I like this uh this brush. It's a bit like um like impressionism like Yeah, this is like Monae in one brush stroke. I can definitely see myself using this brush for a tutorial as well. Well, that's great to hear, Chloe. I hope your mom and you as well have a lovely day today. Yeah, this is this is creative as well. Can definitely be used for some expressive painting, some nice messiness. Yeah, I like that. Sometimes I just like having fun and dropping in some colors on my canvas and not create anything shining bronze. It has an interesting texture. King Fisher. Let me check this out. This looks a bit weird. Not sure what I would use this for yet, but who knows? I might come up with something. Could be like rock texture, something. Now, you can't get this yet. This is just a preview of Procreate 5.4 and um yeah, it'll come out later this year. This is just a testing version. How you can see what version? I think I believe if you go to your gallery and then tap Procreate, yeah, you should be seeing the version you are using. Lake Echo looks like fingerprints. Yeah, not sure what I would use this for, but looks interesting. I might find something. All right, then inking. Oh, here are like the brushes that are already in Procreate right now. So, these are all the brushes we already know. Why is there Oh, I was thinking why is there charcoals, too? But of course, they made a new charcoal section. Earth that wasn't there before, right? Painting was, sketching was elements, but earth or did I miss something? I don't know. Earth brushes. Let's check them out. I think uh Candace, I think you could have it auto update if you like I believe there's a setting probably in your um your app store and otherwise you'll just have to uh to check or you'll probably see it on social media. Yeah, it's weird then that they put earth all the way at the bottom here. They kind of look uh familiar, these brushes, like the way they look. Oh, no. This is not familiar at all. The first two were, but Okay, I'll I'll do my best. Okay, gracias GPT. Although I'm not sure how to say ch um in like Spanish. My Spanish isn't that uh that good. I do think I have uh a video probably in which I explain layer masks, but I don't know from the top of my head which ones that would be. Usually updates don't remove your artwork. I've done many updates and I've never had that happen. And I also believe that the new version lets you save all your artworks in iCloud. No, you don't you don't delete Procreate. Never delete Procreate. Just update it. If you delete it, then you will lose your artworks. I know the update isn't out yet, uh, Allison. Um, it'll it'll, um, launch later this year. This is just a preview. This is just a testing version. And I asked the Procreate team if I was allowed to show this to you live, and they were like, "Yeah, go for it." So, I um that that's why I'm here. I believe Candace said it will just uh update your library. That's that's what I think. I'm not entirely sure. That's what happened in the past. Um then I would just get like new brushes in the library and all my other brushes would still be there. Well, thank you Savon. Um, I like my Bob Ross bobble head a lot as well. This looks a bit like fire almost. Well, bonjour Aurelia. Not sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly, but um, doing my best. You're my southern neighbor almost. We have Belgium in between, but we do learn a French in school in the Netherlands, but it hasn't really stuck. Yeah, I kind of like this brush. Bit like a watercolor brush. And that volcanic ash. No, I'm sorry. I can't pronounce your name. I'm not sure how to read those uh signs. That's a bit too challenging. Yeah, I thought it kind of looked like fire as well. And this is like a spray paint type of brush almost. I like this too. Little Yeah, a bit grungy. Um, so yeah, that's it. Unfortunately, no libraries for pallets, but yeah, we have a whole bunch of new brushes. We still have the recent tab, of course. And if you slide up, you get the search bar to search for your brushes. And we have these uh awesome libraries. So, yeah, I think these were all the features. These were all the brushes. Um, I actually have doodle videos uh up uh Elias. If you if you use the search function on YouTube, you should be able to find them. A mixer brush. Well, of course, you could use any brush for mixing. Let's just see like if we go to gouache. Let's see. Let's check a brush. These are all a bit too opaque. Maybe like the pastels. No. Where are my favorite brushes? Oh, these charcoals are really nice. So, you could just tap and hold and then use any brush for uh mixing. And some will work better than others. This looks pretty nice, but that's really a matter of experimenting. Well, I'll I'll be sure to think about it. Elias, that's amazing. Tamalor Joseph 2019. That's a long time ago. So yeah, this was pretty much it. I'm um I'm going to sign off and like I said, I might be doing another live session uh later this week on Sunday and I plan on doing some more next week and the week after. Uh so it would be great to see you uh here again. If you have missed the beginning of this video of this session, then you can always watch the replay. It'll get saved to my uh YouTube account. So, uh yeah, this was it. Uh I'd like to thank you uh very much for being here. Um it was great just going through all of these brushes. I'm super excited about this update and I hope it'll come soon and then I'll think of lots of tutorials using some of these brushes because they definitely uh have potential and a lot of them are flow approved. So, I'll I'll just see you next time. Enjoy the rest of your day and uh take care. Bye., Check out Procreate 5.4 with me, Art with Flo, 01k3bwz1129stj5241kt01bzwx.
