Procreate Brushes and Painting Tools 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What does enabling 'Wet Mix' in a Procreate brush do?
- Makes the brush pick up and blend colors already on the canvas (Correct answer)
- Adds a watercolor wash effect to the stroke
- Increases opacity with speed
- Enables pressure-sensitive ink flow
Correct answer: Makes the brush pick up and blend colors already on the canvas
Wet Mix allows a brush to pick up and blend colors already present on the canvas, simulating real paint mixing.
Question 2: Which tool in Procreate allows you to smear and blend colors already on the canvas?
- Eraser
- Smudge (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Smudge
The Smudge tool pushes and blends paint already on the canvas, similar to blending with your finger.

- The gap between individual stamp impressions along a stroke (Correct answer)
- The distance between two parallel strokes

- The angle of the brush tip
Correct answer: The gap between individual stamp impressions along a stroke
Spacing controls how far apart each individual stamp (or 'dab') of the brush tip is placed along the stroke path.
