🚀 UPDATED! Version 1.7
new and improved color palettes. Prisma is now the official stand-alone color swatch library I will be distributing with all my Procreate brush packs, while Molivee Sketch remains exclusive to this pack only.
MOLIVEE
Molivee (stylized: Mōlivee; pronounced: / Molivi: /) is a custom pencils brush set for Procreate 5X and above. The brush pack includes a variety of tools grouped into several categories.
Contents of the pack include:
13x Pencils + 6 white
12x Hatchers
6x Shaders
3x Blenders
3x Erasers
1x Paper template
1x Bonus brush set
8x Color palettes
PENCILS
Molivee comes with a modest set of sketching pencils that offer you a tremendous amount of variety. Every brush is carefully set up to mimic the feel of the natural medium it was based on.
This group can be further divided into smaller sets as listed below.
Sketching pencils
Graphite Pencils: HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B
Charcoal Pencils: HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B
Technical Pencils
Mechanical Pencil
Vintage Pencil
Expressive Pencils
Carpenter Pencil
Conté Pencil
Clutch Pencil
NOTE: Pencils that are labeled WHITE in their title indicate that those brushes are specifically set up to work with white color only.
HATCHERS
The brushes in this category were originally supposed to be a separate brushset for Procreate, but I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to leave a few of them here.
Basically, Hatchers is a group of premade strokes that allow you to fill a large area quickly. The outcome gives illustrations a very interesting and completely unique grungy look that is next to impossible to replicate by hand.
The hatchers’ full potential is unlocked when they are used for masking, erasing and even blending. Each tool mode can be combined to give your illustration weathered textures you can easily create by yourself instead of downloading one.
In order to achieve true randomness, I suggest you not only paint continuous strokes with the hatchers, but also try to apply a few dabs and short strokes. Rotate the canvas at random angles and add some more.
You will find the following three sub-categories in this group: Clean, Grungy and Particles. The brushes themselves are not exacltly supposed to represent the density of the hatching per se. However, that is a good indicator of how to use them.
ERASERS (may also be used for shading with the Brush tool)
Molivee currently offers three types of erasers. They are pretty straightforward and their names already say everything you need to know about them.
Personally, I use the Absolute Eraser most of the times because whenever I find myself wanting to delete something I messed up, it’s usually a clean slate for me. However, I do tend to use the other brushes in the pack as erasers and for masking in an attempt to achieve the same goal.
BLENDERS
Even though I don’t use blenders with pencils myself, I still included a few of them in the pack.
The Subtle and the Soft blenders mix colors almost the same way. The major difference is in the strength used to blur colors together.
The Subtle Blender ensures that you mix strokes smoothly and gradually by requiring of you to do more passes over an area.
The Soft Blender does the same thing but it needs far fewer strokes to blend colors.
SHADERS
As of version 1.2 there are six soft and messy shaders reminiscent of the texture generated by a charcoal stick. These new shaders replace the old method of usinng blenders and erasers with the brush tool in Procreate to achieve the same effect.
PAPER TEMPLATE
Molivee comes with a seamless paper template already set up and ready to be used. Just import the template into Procreate. Once that’s done, you should see a new document in your Procreate gallery. Go on ahead and open it. Start drawing. It’s seriously that easy!
BONUS BRUSHSET
My trusty Jotter PRO brush pack is included as a stand-alone bonus set. These are a few basic inking and filler brushes that I use all the time in every artwork I do. They are extremely useful to me and I am hoping they will be to you too.
COLOR PALETTES
Mōlivee’s custom color palette is specifically designed with sketching in mind. The included swatches in Molivee Sketch are laid out into sections based on their purpose. At the very top row, you will find a non-photo blue supplemented by an equally light tint of magenta. Next to those, you are provided with three alternative colors for sketching and writing inspired by the Pilot G2 ink: blue, green and red.
Moving down to the second row, you get a 10-90% range of neutral greys at increments of 10%.
And finally, at the bottom row you can access true black and white colors.
One final update to Molivee Sketch is yet to come soon, so stay tuned!
But that’s not all.
Version 1.7 introduces a whole new collection of color palettes that are replacing the old ones. Branded as a stand-alone feature, Prisma is a an awesome color library that tries to capture the most essential swatches of the color spectrum in the format of a Procreate palette.
Prisma currently includes seven palettes:
Bright Tones
Dark Tones
Dull Tones
Neutral Bright Tones
Pastel Tones
Rich Tones
Vivid Tones
🔔 Q & A
Are you going to add darker pencils?
I think it may be a bit of an overkill, but yes. There will be an 8B Graphite Pencil and an 8B Charcoal Pencil in Version 2.0.
Are there any plans to add even lighter pencil grades?
Yes, there will be a few. I am not yet sure how many grades I will add, but there will most definitely be an H and a 2H pencil grade. Possibly even a 9H brush.
I messed up a brush. How can I revert back to the default settings?
Just come back here and re-download the pack. Delete the one you have in Procreate and replace it with the fresh copy.
Revocery points are not yet set up. However, version 2.0 will come with factory reset points out of the box.
What other updates are to be expected up until Version 2.0 and even in later releases?
Quality is my top priority. There will be quite a few modifications to the current brushset in the upcoming updates of series 1.x.
New brush types and more variations to the ones already released are planned for the 2.x series and later. Expected brushes and features include:
8B, H, 2H, and 9H (possibly) graphite and charcoal pencils
a new hatcher group with entirely different hatchers
more types of shaders, even rougher ones
texturizers
User Guide documentation
What canvas size does the Mōlivee brushset work with best?
Mōlivee should work with any canvas size, as long as you’ve adjusted the brush size to a level where it looks and feels authentic in proportion to the document dimensions.
I usually set my canvas to a minimum of 3,000px (width or height) and go from there.
👉 MORE PAPER TEMPLATES
The paper template in Molivee is actually part of another digital product of mine. The pack currently features 35 seamless paper templetes for Procreate and it will eventually support other software too. This product is yet to be released but stay tuned for updates!
👉 MORE PROCREATE BRUSHES
If you are looking for more Procreate brushests like Molivee, then I am happy to announce that I will be releasing my other brush packs in the coming months
