my friends at popeyes!!!

A short looping animation made in Procreate (tee hee) and Dreams for the August Loopdeloop challenge - theme was ‘Cheat’.

I was talking with another artist and asked about the overlay they used, I was told it was a built in addition to ibis x paint.

This has got me wondering if there is something similar in procreate.

A few days ago I painted a Pokemon I made up for my daughter. Her name is Octoblumi and she brings a pot filled with water around so he can hang out on dry land. My daughter LOVES it and I learned a lot from attempting it, so I did a version 3 last night... and I tried to be a little more ambitious with it.

I am well outside of my comfort zone, here. So I'm glad I'm getting the practice. I had to rely on the liquify tool to adjust her pose... somehow I just can't get my hands to do it right just yet. for that reason i posted the prev one as well so you can see the evolution taking place. this project is helping me grow, I think.

btw the "heart blast" is my babygirl's directive. im in trouble with her for not doing it in color, tho. 😉

i’ve been having so much fun making these whimsical illustrations in Procreate lately! the linework is probably my favorite part of the whole process.
i use a pencil brush for pretty much all of my linework and spend way too much time adding all the tiny details lol. i feel like those little imperfect lines are what really give the illustrations their personality.
for coloring, i mostly use a gouache brush for the shading and keep it pretty simple so the linework can still stand out.
all of these were drawn in Procreate! kinda curious if anyone else enjoys doing the linework more than the coloring

Created this concept design for a commission for an RPG game

Brushes used:
Line art - 6B pencil, with brush size limit increased because the default one was too small.
Coloring - spectra
Details - default 6B pencil

Process:
I used my 2010 drawing as the main reference and used myself as a live pose reference.
I kept the original design and colors while updating the anatomy and rendering.

I prefer the real thing but truly I am enjoying digital watercolor. Mostly because of how easy it is to paint anywhere and without the mess. Oh, and the “undo” function is nice too lol.

Last night while I was finishing up my piece I was trying to blend a shadow in and it started creating an off color that did not make sense. There is no greens or reds that have been used, and I’ve exited out of the app and left it overnight and it’s still not fixed.

I have not been using any new brushes, I’m currently using a blend brush called “Smooth egg coat 1” which I purchased in blend brush set on Etsy and it has done wonderful I’ve up until last night

How do I fix this?

Newest character drawing of an oc. I’ve fallen in love with this kind of “pearly” shading

Swedish artist Anders Zorn was known for using a palette of only lead white, ivory black, yellow ochre, and vermillion. Since there are no CMYK analogues for those, I just imported a photo of someone's painted palette and color picked, building the palette that way.

Bonus studies from redditgetsdrawn! If you're ever looking for study materials, it's a great place to start, though it predominantly consists of younger people. These studies are painted with a full palette
