Welcome, my CryptoComics Compatriots. I’ve been using Procreate for a long time now, and I have to say, this latest update might be one of my favorites. It feels like the developers took everything artists have been asking for and finally delivered it in a way that feels smooth, professional, and incredibly practical.

For those of you publishing your work digitally, especially through CryptoComics, these Procreate updates are a huge advantage. Cleaner brush management, smoother exports, and better color control all make digital collectible preparation easier than ever. You can start by publishing right here.

The first thing that jumped out at me was the Brush Library system. This is something I’ve wanted for years. Before, I had brushes scattered across sets with no real way to organize or back them up easily. Now, Procreate lets you group entire collections into libraries, export them, and even sync them through iCloud. 

That means my custom brushes, my pencil and ink sets, and even the ones I’ve downloaded or tweaked for comic work can all stay consistent across devices. I’ve already started building separate libraries for inking, shading, and texture work. To be honest, at first I was a little lost. 

On top of that, there are 180 new brushes that were added with this update. They range from soft washes to rough-edged sketch tools, and they feel great. It’s not just filler content either. Each one feels tuned with real purpose, especially for comic artists who like to mix painterly effects with strong line art.

The Brush Studio also received a huge overhaul. There are new jitter options, better control over pressure sensitivity, and the addition of a Preview tab that finally shows what your brush stroke will look like before you even start using it. 

That’s been something I’ve wanted since day one. You can now control stroke paths, add randomness, tweak shape dynamics, and test everything with a much clearer visual layout.

Another major change is how storage and syncing now work. Brushes are stored directly in the Files app, which means you can manually manage them if you want, back them up easily, or even share entire sets with other artists. 

That level of control makes a big difference for workflow. It’s one of those updates that quietly fixes years of little frustrations.

Performance-wise, the app feels tighter. Time-lapse recording is running smoother, dynamic brush scaling behaves better, and I’ve noticed a difference in responsiveness when using very large canvases. Typically, I use extremely large canvases because you can shrink but should never blow up.

While there doesn’t seem to be a big increase in the maximum layer count, the app definitely handles high-resolution projects more efficiently. It feels like the underlying memory management has been optimized, which for comic work is always welcome. Someday, I guess I’ll just need to upgrade my iPad, but for the time being, I just don’t see a reason yet. 

Overall, I’m extremely happy with this update. I’m still learning my way around some of the new features, and I’ll keep everyone posted as I experiment with it more, especially if I find hidden improvements that haven’t been talked about much yet. 

It’s refreshing to see an update that adds real functionality instead of just small cosmetic tweaks.

If you haven’t updated yet, you should. Open it up, explore the new brush options, and take a little time to reorganize your libraries. You’ll notice right away how much smoother everything feels. 

For artists who work digitally every day, these improvements save time, reduce frustration, and make the whole process of creating art just a little more enjoyable.
