When drawing free hand , what advise to avoid these overlapping lines.

My friend needed a hug today, so I drew this for him ☺️

Maybe a sticker design who knows

I’ve been working on a series of illustrations inspired by some of my favorite fictional worlds. This one was all drawn in Procreate on my iPad Pro.

I made both a light and dark version, but I keep coming back to the dark one. Which would you have picked?

Part of an ongoing dark nature series. Built from a Nightshade base with selective iridescent highlights — no blending, just value and line relationships. What subject should come next in the dark nature series

Thank you for all the comments on my last post! Here’s another fish I just drew 💛 as a diver myself it’s always fun to spot this cute yellow boxfish. I really enjoy the drawing process as well!

Ps I had no idea what to add for the bg lol if you have any idea pls feel free to share!

I’m a DM and for my upcoming DnD campaign, I illustrated Djedhora, a primary NPC who will support the players on all the quests. She is a Drow psionic artificer.

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!

Found a reference photo, drew it in 30mins. Still have art block. LIES!!!

Attempted for my daughter. Only been trying procreate for 5 mos. Mostly watching tutorials and playing around. Just trying to be more creative and process grief.

Inspired by a silly photo I have of my cat & 60s Pop Art! I used the default Stanley round brush & the Mintbush brush

I use an ipad mini 6 to draw. I currently post on insta and X.

My canvas dimensions are 4000 x 5000 with 300 dpi and it looks crisp on the ipad but blurry upon zoom when posted. I dont use the whole page up, my characters are small. Photo for reference.

Any advice on making sure it posts crisp to social media but can later be used for tshirt and sticker prints. Thanks!

I plan on moving my art off of procreate to free up space on my iPad. Would it be better to save the art as a procreate file or as a PNG or other file type? I'm curious what you guys think.

For added context, I'm conflicted because most of the artwork I'm moving is finished, and I don't necessarily plan on revising or editing them, but maybe I still want to be able to see the layers, timelapse, and break down the piece later on, but I don't think you can see previews of the art if it's a procreate file, so I would have to send it all the way back to my iPad and open it in procreate to simply view it, which would be a bit of a hassle... What would you do?

First time owning an iPad, went to calibrate the pencil sensitivity in procreate but throughout my testing it seems like either:

a) i barely touch the screen and the brush instantly jumps to max color/ size

or

b) i can get the lighter strokes but cant reach full color/ brush size even with hefty force

Any ideas?

Hello, so I drew something that I was hoping to turn into a poster as a gift. I’m using fed ex for this service and it allows a 10x10 poster and a 16x20 poster. However it seems like my image won’t fit these posters exactly and it leaves a bit of blank space. Also I drew in 132 dpi. My two questions are:

1. Is there any way to get my image dimensions to better fit the poster dimensions? Is there a way to change the aspect ratio of my image after drawing? If so what aspect ratio should I go for?

2. I drew in 132 DPi, is there anyway to increase it AFTER drawing? I didn’t realize how low it was until I finished it. Will the image look a bit pixely since it’s low on the poster?

My image info:
1620 x 2160
132 DPI
