Procreate offers built-in hair brushes within its default brush library, providing convenient tools for adding realistic or stylized hair textures to your digital artwork.
Accessing Default Hair Brushes
To begin using the default hair brushes in Procreate, you first need to find them within your brush collection.
- Open your brush list (the brush icon in the top right).
- Scroll down through the list of brush sets until you find the Materials brush set.
Default Hair Brush Types
Within the Materials brush set, Procreate includes several brushes specifically designed for creating various hair effects.
These default hair brushes are:
- Fine Hair: Suitable for delicate strands and detailed textures.
- Flowing Hair: Designed to create smoother, more continuous hair strokes, ideal for longer hair.
- Short Hair: Best for rendering shorter hair lengths or stubble-like textures.
- Stubble: Often counted among the hair brushes, this brush is specifically for very short hair or stubble.
Each of these brushes performs uniquely, offering different visual characteristics and brush dynamics. You can experiment with them to see which effects work best for your specific needs and where you can use them effectively in your illustrations or paintings.
Basic Usage
Once you have located and selected one of the hair brushes from the Materials set in your brush list, you can use it just like any other Procreate brush:
- Select the desired hair brush.
- Choose your desired color.
- Adjust the brush size and opacity using the sliders on the sidebar.
- Draw or paint on your canvas to apply the hair texture.
By selecting the appropriate brush from the Materials set, you can quickly lay down textures that simulate various types of hair.
