After last weeks post that dealt with the brush settings, you may be in for a bit of a letdown this week. We move into the smudge and erase tools, and though they are simply fabulous, they use the same base adjustments as the brush tools.
That doesn’t mean that the video is completely pointless though. There’s always a little something to take a peak at.
Smudge and Erase in Procreate – The Dirty Work
When we think about smudging and erasing in natural media, we can’t help but think about how dirty our hands get, or the paper gets, or the eraser shavings falling on the ground. When working digital all of these problems are a distant memory. And the cool thing about Procreate is that it allows you to use the same brushes that you drew and painted with as smudge and erase tools.
You’ll find that all the settings are the same as you adjust your tools. This makes the learning curve much easier for the beginner user. Once you’ve created your first brush you’ll be able to create your first eraser and smudge tool without a problem.
Having said all that it’s sometimes hard to figure out exactly what you need to create a good eraser. Or a good smudge tool. There is a lot of playing around with settings to finally get something that feels natural or does what you want it to do.
So don’t be afraid to get in there and have some fun. Experiment, and let me know what you come up with.

Thanks so much for this video. I’m very new to IPad Pro and Procreate it a little intimidating right now but I can see its potential. Looking forward to watching and learning more from your video postings. Also big fan of Galaxtica and all related series were well done. Cheers.
Thanks a bunch….just got my pencil and loving it…
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you very much for your video. During your video you mention to be sure not to smudge near the edge (white in this case) because it will drag it back into your picture. This happens to me a lot so I tried using the selection tool to block off the white, which works as far as masking the area so I can’t add color to it, but it is not effective in restricting that area to not be affected by the smudge tool. Does anyone know of a different way I might be able to accomplish that? Thanks.

Thanks! The opacity tip was very helpful, in addition to your erase directions.
Thank you! I’m new to procreate. I have no idea what I did but my eraser is now always black. I can’t do anything easily in any drawing I’ve ever done because it has all switched to black on eraser. OMG. Help me. PS….you are awesome. Your videos are very helpful. Glad a found you.
Hi Terry,
Thank you for all the nicely done videos on Procreate. I’m looking forward to viewing more.
