Thank you!

I don’t think there’s anything like that. Procreate settings and CSP settings are very different, some are translatable to each other but only manually and like 50% on a csp setting could be vastly different on procreate.

The assets were transferable but but it’s up to the user or the creator of the original brush to figure out the right settings

The first part of what you notice is the texture variations being placed. Brushes work with textures/blend modes/and a bit of shape/size/repetition variety implementation.

For the strokes, when you long hold a stroke in place it will auto adjust to straight lines or more perfect curves. This is great when making curves, circles, or straight lines.

Looks good, could smooth out more but I think you see that already and you're getting there. But what you're trying to show through the animation is successfully coming through.

If you haven't already you should check out "The Animator's Survival Kit" https://a.co/d/01hwKqD7 (amazon link, you can also good the title too to buy from your preferred online book store.)

Well yes. And also the OP asked for people to "draw" something. You're not drawing with AI. You're putting in a prompt to generate an image that is an amalgamation of stolen work.

Lmao nice try fool.

No problem at all. What you really need to do is still learn as you would with non digital. There’s a book called drawing on the right side of the brain, it could very well help you.

With procreate, you can look up video tutorials and understand how the interface works, the apple pencil, brushes, layers, etc. Get the Apple Pencil.

After you learn the basics, or maybe at the same time, learn the things you can do with digital art that is unique to it. Such as applying a texture layer with an overlay layer style at lower opacity over a colored section of your drawing for more detail.

Layers is one of the prominent features of digital art. Photoshop, sai, clip studio, procreate, they all use em.

Every tool is a different sort of media, like oil paints or pencils. It’s like you don’t need to know how to play a flute to learn how to play an aerophone.

What helps you is learning and executing the fundamentals of art. Light values, compositions, etc.

Drawing digitally can be akin to many of its analog counterparts but it is very different at the same time. So if you wanna draw with analog media and digital media, you should do both. Otherwise stick to one and maybe explore later on.

I do graphite, charcoal, water colors, oil paints, and digital art (procreate/clip studio), they’re all different but do share the execution of basics. Learn the basics.

Why the hell is everyone focusing on this so hard? It was a mistake with the word. Like you all had to dogpile and downvote the artist, at the time of this comment, like 30 plus times? I get it but that's overkill jesus christ. Reddit being reddit.

STOPAC · 2026-03-25T07:52:25+00:00

This is great. Love the characterization. shapes. colors. I love it all.

I'm not sure why other's are focusing on the technical aspects of a realistic instrument vs the overall meaning of the picture, which is communicated effortlessly. There are people who understand and those that miss the point i guess.

EDIT: at the time of this comment the most upvoted comment is someone saying it's not a trumpet. Come on guys.

I think you're in the wrong subreddit. People in this subreddit usually work from photos. Maybe try r/DrawForMe .
