Hello, I'm just testing Rebelle 4, Would you consider implementing the brush tip shape as a cursor instead of the default circle? This would aid brush accuracy, as well as make the experience more visual, especially for Artpen users. You wouldn't need to visualize the shape of the brush stroke that's getting stamped down any longer. Especially when stamping textured strokes on. Here is an example from PS.

I'd like to second this feature request. It would be especially helpful when using flat/oval brushes. I find that getting crisp corners can be tricky with the default circle cursor. I do like Rebelle's use of the dotted line variation to show painting "mode" but it seems like it could still be applied to either the brush cursor outline or as a circle surrounding it.

[USER=67843]@montalamont[/USER] Thank you for your support. Here is another gif showing the stamping of some scale/feather marks, this is so much mpore intuitive with a brush outline.

I want to chime in and voice my strong support for this improvement. If Rebelle had this feature it would be a real game-changer to me. Procreate now has an amazing brush cursor that emulates the exact outline of the brush and adjusts based on pressure, that makes acurate painting extremely easy. It's the best I've used. Photoshop also has a very good cursor that displays the brush outline while painting, and displays rotation and tilt, but not size. I find the brush cursor so important in my work because it is the closest thing I have digitally to really being able to control the stroke acurately like I would real media. Without a real brush in your hand, it's hard to know exactly where those bristles are. A brush cursor that showed the outline of the brush and that adjusted based on things like pressure, tilt and rotation, would be truly revolutionary I think. Again, Procreate is way in the lead on this but unfortunately the limitations of the iPad really handicap the practicality of the software I think. Please take a look at this feature and I would strongly encourage your team to make this feature a priority in terms of future additions. Thank you for making amazing software and keep up the excellent work!

I want to put in my request for this feature also. Many times I want to make a short quick dab only to find the stroke made is larger than the cursor icon. To see an exact outline representing size and angle would be wonderful. Loving Rebelle 5 Pro!

im definately on board with this...its nice to see where the brush outline is to actually know where and what the brush is doing...

I thoroughly agree. This would make painting so much better and easier

Seconding this as something I would want quite a bit.

I do not need some kind of complicated brush outline. But the brush marks on the paper should never be larger than the circle, which they currently often are. The whole idea of the circle is to mark the maximum size of the brush. At full pressure the brush should be as big as the circle. The way it is now the circle is completely useless for some brushes. I do not even consider this a feature request - it is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I think an outline is actually easier to implement than a circle that should accurately represent the size. After all, thickness of brush can vary in different directions..
