Do you want to learn how to make stamp brushes in Procreate? In this blog, I’ll show you how in easy steps. First, what exactly is a stamp brush?
A stamp brush in Procreate refers to a Procreate brush that has a particular shape. It could be a star or a flower. It could be just about anything. When you use that stamp brush, you get that same shape.
Let’s get right into how to make a stamp brush for Procreate.
Step 1: Create a canvas. This canvas needs to be square.
Step 2: Turn the background color off. Go to layers and click the checkbox for the background color. This will turn the background off. A slight outline of the edges of the canvas will tell you where the canvas is.
Step 3: Draw or import the shape or picture of your stamp to the canvas. Make sure you change the color to white to draw your stamp.
Step 4: Copy the canvas. Click the ‘Actions’ button, which looks like a wrench icon. Then click the ‘Add’ tab. Click ‘Copy Canvas’.
Step 5: Create a new brush. Click the paintbrush icon to access the brush library. In the top right corner, you’ll a plus sign. Click this.
Step 6: Edit the brush shape. Go to ‘Shape’. Click ‘Edit’.
Step 7: Paste. Go to ‘Import’ and click ‘Paste’. Then click ‘Done’.
Step 8: Change the spacing. Go to ‘Stroke Path’. Then change the spacing. As you can tell by the picture, I brought my spacing up to 77%. Before, it was at something like 17%. Changing the spacing makes sure that you get one stamp at a time from your brush. Otherwise, there will be multiple stamps stacked on top of each other.
Step 9: Change the size. Go to ‘Properties’. I suggest bringing the maximum size up. I brought the maximum size up to more than 1000%. Bringing the maximum size up allows you great fluctuation as to how big you want your stamp to be. I also turned the ‘Stamp Preview’ toggle on. This changes the way your brush is shown in the brush library. Typically, the brush’s thumbnail is displayed as a brush stroke. Turning ‘Stamp Preview’ on changes the brush’s thumbnail to a stamp, not a brush stroke.
Step 10: Change the name. Go to ‘About this brush’ and click the name. Type in the new, desired one. Then click ‘Done’.
Step 11: Enjoy! Now you can use your stamp brush.
That’s all!
