If anyone is drawing in Procreate on an iPad, you should definitely know about automatic shape creation and the streamline settings to help neaten up any rough lines and wonky circles. Made a very quick demo

Made a very quick demo video of how automatic shapes work. Also added in a walkthrough on how to increase the streamline setting on your brush so it creates a nice smooooth line. Hope that’s helpful!

Awesome tutorial. But how do you get the edit shape drop down from the top bar?

Ah sorry had only posted that detail on the other thread:

First draw a rough version of the shape, and hold your pencil on the canvas screen for 2-3 seconds at the end and it will turn it into an automatic shape for you. Works with arcs too.

One the best software tools by a mile. It is so intuitive and easy to use Procreate.

have you tried Concepts app? It's vector by default and super good.

I had looked at it a few years ago but found it too difficult to use at the time. But looking now it seems like the UI has improved! Will play around a bit. Thanks for the recommendation!
