It looks great as one stroke, but once you start coloring in a whole section, you have blotchy and inconsistent colors as the opacity of the brush strokes overlap each other. Not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To stop Procreate brush opacity buildup, adjust the amount of glaze in your brush by opening up the brush settings and navigating to the rendering tab. It&rsquo;s also important to choose brushes from the outset that don&rsquo;t have a lot of opacity inherently built into them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re worried about opacity building up with your brushes, there are a couple of things you can do. I have a few tricks you can use to have the best of both worlds &ndash; low opacity, without the buildup. Let&rsquo;s dive into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The Truth About Opacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into my opacity tricks, let&rsquo;s talk about the reality of opacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By definition, something with low opacity is translucent. This means that you can see through it. On the other hand, something with high opacity is opaque. This means that you can&rsquo;t see through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably already knew that, but it&rsquo;s an important reminder before diving into why\/why not <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/procreate-layer-opacity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Procreate&rsquo;s opacity settings<\/a> work the way that they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By definition, something with low opacity is see through, even in Procreate. Just like in the real world, things that are translucent in Procreate will be see through.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/learn-how-to-use-procreate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min.png\" alt=\"learn how to use procreate: 13 classes to build your skills\" class=\"wp-image-2053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min.png 400w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20400%20229'%3E%3Crect%20width='400'%20height='229'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"learn how to use procreate: 13 classes to build your skills\" class=\"wp-image-2053 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min.png.webp 400w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Adventures-with-Art-2-min-300x172.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><figcaption>Check out more from Adventures with Art!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, in the same way that a thin layer of pink watercolor paint on your watercolor paper will show the thicker layer of blue watercolor paint underneath it, so too in Procreate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the huge perks of Procreate is that it&rsquo;s good at replicating real-life mediums.

This means that your actual brush is fully opaque underneath it. The perk of this is that your actual brush isn&rsquo;t abiding by the rules of low opacity because, under that lower opacity film on your layer, your brush is actually fully opaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No opacity buildup!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min.png\" alt=\"procreate opacity buildup trick with opacity\" class=\"wp-image-2177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min.png.webp\" alt=\"procreate opacity buildup trick with opacity\" class=\"wp-image-2177 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min-300x225.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min-768x576.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0164-min.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is a great option for larger elements, or elements that have a lot of strokes.

Here&rsquo;s the thing. When we get rid of opacity buildup, it&rsquo;s hard to tell we were even using opacity in the first place. That&rsquo;s because we&rsquo;re used to opacity building up and becoming see through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we might as well not use opacity at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a quick way to select the same exact color as your low opacity color, while having it be fully opaque.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw one stroke on your canvas with the opacity set to low. Now, use your finger and hold down on that color to bring up the color picker. As you&rsquo;ll see, that color will now be selected in your color panel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring the opacity back up to max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have the same exact color you had at low opacity, but it&rsquo;s now at high opacity, which means you won&rsquo;t have to deal with buildup. Yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, so this option doesn&rsquo;t allow your objects to be see through either. For that, we&rsquo;ll need to be sneakier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Look at the Glaze Settings within Your Procreate Brushes<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min.jpeg\" alt=\"procreate rendering and glaze settings\" class=\"wp-image-2180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"procreate rendering and glaze settings\" class=\"wp-image-2180 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min.jpeg.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min-300x225.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min-768x576.jpeg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_B17443D6E666-1-min.jpeg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When your opacity is low and glaze is enabled on a brush, your strokes will look like a consistent &ldquo;glaze.&rdquo; They will create a consistent tone, no matter how much you draw over the same strokes, until you pick up your stylus and draw again to overlay a new stroke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re drawing over another color, your glazed strokes will add to what is already there for a unique blending effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glaze settings are different from the blending settings.

Even with calligraphy, many of us pick up our brushes and start new strokes. Outside of calligraphy, we pick up our brushes all of the time and use a LOT of individual strokes to create our drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with one of the glazed settings turned on, we can end up with a lot of darker, blotchy, more opaque marks.
