TAP YOUR FINGER, DRAW A PICTURE
My colleague Malgosia Kostecka of Illumistories just came up with icon stamps for Procreate to speed up the workflow, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.
From Malgosia:
I'm constantly thinking about how to speed up my workflow and found myself drawing the same icons over and over again...I decided to turn my most used icons into stamp brushes and share them with all of you! You can add these icons to your Procreate canvas with the tap of your stylus and can change their color, size, and opacity. I hope you love these as much as I do!
She’s figured out how to turn icons into brushes, so all you have to do is install the her brush pack (she explains how to do that… it took me about 30 seconds) then tap your finger to make a bullet, banner, cloud, or any one of her icons appear. You can change the size and color of the stamps the same way you would any Procreate brush. Super easy.
Here’s what it looks like onscreen:
I had to remind myself that these are brushes, not objects. So if you drag your Pencil or finger across the screen, you’ll get a line of the icons dropped wherever you draw. But once an icon is on screen, it’s easy to select, rotate, and reshape them using the Freehand Selection tool to get it exactly where and how you want it.

…now I just have to figure out how she did it and make some myself!
