Now that we’ve gone over how to draw straight lines in Procreate, let’s have a look at how you can draw lines that follow a perfectly vertical or horizontal path. The endpoint of the line will follow your hand movement while the starting point remains anchored in place. If you’d like to rotate the line, swipe across the screen while continuing to hold the tap. Speaking as an artist/illustrator, it would be amazing to have this in Photoshop! This feature alone is a pretty big part of why I still go to Procreate for certain things.If done correctly, your line will automatically become straight: If you hold the tap in place, the line will become auto-straight and a message should appear at the top of the screen that says “Line Created”.įrom here you can release the tap to complete your straight line. In Photoshop, if you don't know exactly where your endpoint should be, your choices are either trial-and-error, or use the line tool to create a vector line for reference and then try to draw over it. Being able to visualize the line in realtime before committing is invaluable in drawing/painting. It's also extremely hard to get consistent/predictable results this way, and I often have to double back on lines to make them solid.
As far as I know, Photoshop's approach will interpolate between the stylus pressure of the starting and ending points, but doesn't really give you any active control over the stroke in between them.
Procreate's tool allows you to straighten an actual stroke, including whatever pressure dynamics you may have applied along it. I think this would be an incredible addition to PS's drawing/painting toolset - I find it way easier to use in almost every scenario than the click-and-shift-click to draw a line between two points. You can then reposition the endpoint however you want, stretching the entire stroke in realtime until you let go. Procreate has an amazing feature where you can hold the stylus down after drawing a freehand stroke, and it will automatically straighten the stroke from its starting point. Hi, I've seen this mentioned a couple times but haven't seen any actual discussion around it.
