    Hi I just bought your Colorado brush set. I´m using the Frisco brush to get the effect you demonstrate in the “how to make chalk lettering art in ProCreate” however the brush does not have the same look when writing, how do you set the brush to get this look, how do you set the Size, opacity, pressure, tip etc?

      Hello. I never change the brush settings after I make them. The only thing I change is the point size, which you do on the left side with the top slider to make it bigger or smaller. Try that as you will see it can make your brush look bigger or smaller. Pressure just depends on how much pressure you are using with your hands on the pen as i don’t adjust this after a brush is made. Everything you see in my videos is the brush as is with the size only made bigger or smaller.
