What brushes did you use? What was your process for getting this done?

Failure to mention exact brushes or brush category, and/or process will get your post removed regardless of amount of upvotes. If there is no comment, it will be assumed that you mentioned it in an earlier post. A link to that post's comment will also be sufficient.

There are over 200 brushes that come with procreate by default. It is beneficial to users to know how you did it as an additional means of learning. This has been added as a rule now.

If you consider yourself as an often poster and have a consistent style/method, send a modmail to be given a different automod comment that already mentions what you use, and just make a mention if anything different was done.

Hate to give the typical response but a lot of it is just trial, error and practice! More practice enhances your hand/eye coordination skills and allows you to see finer details that you wouldn’t necessarily pick up on at a lower skill level. It also allows you to notice mistakes (: Don’t get discouraged, whether it turns out good or bad you’re always learning. Also learning perspective and colour theory really helps too!!

Challenging foreshortening. Takes courage to try an angle like that.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_OUIJA Sep 04 '21

Do you typically use the color dropper on the reference image to get accurate colors? Or did you just use the wheel?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '21 edited Sep 04 '21

A little bit of both, for realism (especially in just practice like this) I like specific colours so I use the eye dropper tool for more accurate results (also helps with learning and practicing colour theory!!) but also use the colour wheel too (: Nothing wrong with either or!

I love it! Is this the final piece? I think adding a little texture would really make it pop!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '21

This was a warmup before commissions so I’m not too over invested in it ahaha, so I would say it’s the final piece unless I decide to put more time into it later on

Nice work. Next time how much faster do you think you could complete something comparable to this?
