Here’s how the rudimentary star looks as it followed my natural hand movement: The star looks rudimentary when drawn using my natural hand movement.

The way to accomplish this is to simply draw your contiguous lines with a brush of your choice, and then hold the tap in place once you are finished in order to make it auto-straight.įor this demonstration I will be drawing a star. Let’s go over how you can draw multiple straight lines in Procreate, or contiguous straight lines as they’re called. Once you are finished drawing your line you can simply release both taps from the device. If done correctly, the line that you are drawing will be locked into 15 degree increments, and all you have to do is simply draw in the general direction of the axis you’d like your line to follow: Hold a tap with your index finger from your other hand to lock the lines onto vertical and horizontal paths. To draw vertical and/or horizontal lines with Procreate, swipe to draw your line, hold the tap in place once you are finished to convert it into a straight line, then use the index finger on your other hand to hold a tap on the canvas while drawing your line.

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. 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.
