My lines come out shaky no matter how steady my hand is

Why this happens

Every hand has micro-tremor. Procreate records every tiny movement unless you configure it not to. This is a settings problem, not a skill problem.

FIX IT NOW

  1. Tap and hold any brush in your library โ€” Brush Studio opens
  2. Tap Stabilisation in the left column menu
  3. Set StreamLine to 60โ€“75%. Below 60% you'll still feel the tremor. Above 80% the line starts lagging noticeably behind your stroke โ€” it feels like drawing through resistance
  4. Tap Done โ†’ draw one test line
  5. If it feels right: swipe left on the brush in the library โ†’ Duplicate โ†’ rename it "brushname + SL" so the original stays unchanged

NOTE

StreamLine smooths the path of the stroke. It doesn't affect pressure variation โ€” thick/thin lines still respond to how hard you press.
