Keep it below 70 to avoid losing the ability to make curved figures Amount: Use the amount slider to increase the motion filtering and make the strokes straighter and smoother.

Let’s see how we can adjust motion filtering in Procreate: If you feel that this feature might take away the natural flow of your strokes even at lower levels, there’s an option to fix that. It’s a great option to draw patterns and shapes with straight lines without worrying too much about getting them right naturally. To understand it better, see what happens to a regular circular as I increase the stabilization value from 0% to 100%.Īs you can notice, if you push it high enough, motion filtering can completely change the form of your drawn item. So, what you get with stroke stabilization enabled in Procreate is a simpler shape than your actual movement or original stroke you made. In simpler terms, instead of following your natural pencil movements, it makes your shape a lot straighter and smoother automatically. Stabilization, technically, takes an average of the movements you make with a stroke and only draws that predictive average of what you were trying to make. This feature can be seen as a more aggressive version of StreamLine. But if you increase the pressure using the slider, the smoothening effect will only kick in when you apply some pressure while drawing a stroke.

It’s even close to an actual shape of a circle with the same minimal effort. As you can notice, the circle drawn with 100% StreamLine is smoother and less wobbly than a regular circle.
