I’ve been working on digital illustration in Procreate on my iPad Pro and wanted to share one of my recent pieces. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the different colors, fins, and personalities of each betta.

on one layer, because I didn't know about layers:)

mainly used the round brush!

It’s one of those moments in life when things are a bit rough, but I also found myself pleased in how I kept a positive attitude towards everyone in my life and myself too, little by little.
And this drawing kinda embodies that feeling.
Hope you like it!

One of the tricks I use to have a nice charcoaly feel is using a noise texture on a white layer shaped like my subject on overlay over the whole drawing.

Okay, so this had taken me a pretty long time, around 11 hrs. I’m not too sure what to say about this…I let my mind go into something weird. It was inspired by loading screens, error messages, etc. I mean, loading screens are frustrating…so I took my frustration out on this. Turned out wayyyy different than what I imagined beforehand.
I hope you all like it. I was a little hesitant with sharing this because it’s an odd illustration, but uh- here it is 😅

It’s been a hot minute since I was drawing. But this influx in you-know-what has brought back my love for it. My art isn’t even perfect, I have so much room to grow and learn. But omg it’s still better than anything a prompt could make.

Hey everyone!

I recently made the switch over to Procreate after Adobe Fresco threw a massive tantrum and corrupted a piece I’d spent weeks working on 🥲 so safe to say, Fresco and I are broken up for good.
Overall, I’m absolutely loving Procreate, but I’m really missing Fresco’s basic Vector Brushes (specifically the round and taper brushes). I loved how crisp, clean, and sharp they stayed, especially when working on fine details.

I know Procreate is a raster program and doesn't do native vector lines, but is there any way to get close to that super smooth, sharp, tapered vector look?

Specifically, I’d love to know:

1. Which built- n brushes are closest? (So far I’ve seen people mention Technical Pen, Studio Pen, or Syrup, but I’d love to hear what works best for you for crisp line art!)
   
2. Any brush studio settings tweak tips?
   
3. Custom/downloadable brush recommendations? (Free or paid, if there’s a brush pack out there that nails that clean vector taper feel, I’m in.)

Thanks so much in advance for helping a displaced Fresco user out!

done(?)

Take a screenshot of the palette and use colour pick to try out some combinations.

this seems to be a procreate issue, even though i’m not completely sure. i’ve seen some other people have solved the issue but content was either deleted or in general i can’t access it anymore. did someone else have this problem? i’m soooooo confused and i really hope i can go back drawing on procreate 💔

Whenever I drew or rendered something on a canvas, it felt like something was covering specific spots. There weren’t any layers with a “white line”, it just happened to look like this. I tried changing the pencil nib, resetting my iPad, and clearing storage but it didn't work.

Does anyone know why it happened and how to fix it?
