How do you make a chain pen in Procreate?

Published in Procreate Brushes 2 mins read

Based on the provided reference, creating a chain pen in Procreate involves drawing a chain link, then adjusting its size in the uniform panel of Procreate to fit the canvas. Essentially, you're creating a brush that repeats a single chain link.

Steps:

  1. Draw a Chain Link: Using a brush size of 100 (or a suitable size), draw a single chain link on the Procreate canvas.
  2. Resize the Link: Go to the uniform panel within Procreate's settings.
  3. Increase Size to Fill Canvas: Increase the size of the chain link so that it covers a significant portion of the square canvas. This essentially prepares the single link to be used as a repeating pattern within a brush.

While the reference is brief, it suggests this initial step is crucial for creating a chain brush, which effectively acts as a "chain pen." To complete the pen creation, you would then define this image as a brush, adjusting parameters like spacing and stroke properties within Procreate's brush settings to achieve the desired chain effect when drawing.
