Raster brush taper settings

[No Land Beyond]

Would anyone happen to know how I can get the "end" of a stroke to taper without awkwardly stopping mid stroke and then continuing to have the tail end taper to a point?

 

This is the default behavior in Procreate and CSP

 

Device: iPad Air

Using an Apple Pencil

Welcome to the forums @No Land Beyond,

To achieve a sharp taper on both ends you could use the pencil tool with a pressure curve applied via the 'Stroke' panel, see my example below. The main drawbacks to this is that the curve pressure is based on the pressure graph and nodes rather than the controller being the pencil pressure and only a basic solid line style can be used while drawing.

The 'Abrupt' end tapers on pressure drawn curves is something that we have logged internally to be improved, Procreate does have the advantage of having it's own dedicated tab for Taper control and size. I've bumped the existing issue internally with your report.

Thank you for bumping the issue @NathanC.

 

When I used my iPad I had noticed the raster brush behavior is different from PC. (The issue noted in this thread is not present on the pc version)

 

I guess to put it succinctly, I was hoping to bring up the pressure behavior being different in the iPad version (not tapering with pressure on the tail end like it should)

 

It tapers like it should in Affinity Photo (PC version)

 

To get the desired and expected taper, you need to come to an abrupt stop mid-stroke and then lift the pen to where its barely touching the screen. It feels unnatural.
