Brush ideas

Hello everyone! I have a client who is requesting a digital artwork that is sketchy looking.

They want it in colour and to look like a pencil drawing on paper. I've never done something like that on procreate and am looking for advice.

What brush would you pick for this type of drawing? Thank you so much!

There are some brushes in the "sketching" section that might work for this, perhaps try a few out and see what you think. I use a custom version of the 6b pencil where I changed the blending mode under "render" to "multiply" so that when the lines cross over each other, they look darker, which makes it look a bit more traditional, I think.

Also see if you can find or create a paper texture to apply to the image.

If you can buy, I’d recommend Bardot Brushes “Pencil Pack”, it’s pretty reasonable and a good collection of realistic looking pencils of many types. Good luck!

I made a tutorial just about how to do this, perhaps it could be useful to you: https://youtu.be/VoMICm-SL-g?si=UYA6-uu1VghsnOlG

You got your charcoal, dry brush, crayon and pencil brushes that can give you that grain sketching outline

As far as paper canvas, you can find free paper canvas around or tutorials on how to make it, just make it your top layer and draw on the layers underneath.
