ooh what brushes do you use on procreate?

your art looks so nice good !

Thank you sm!! I use a lot of different brushes, but heres a few I use most ~

I know my writing is kinda hard to read so I’ll write them here:

• 1: Greasy pencil OG • 2: soft sketch • 3: technical pen • 4: water pencil og • 5: medium nozzle • 6: fat nozzle • 7: soft airbrush • 8: soft brush

All these brushes come with procreate except for 1, 2 and 4.

1 and 4 are great for sketching and shading - link here

2: love it for sketching but can’t remember where I downloaded it from

3 (tech pen) gets you super clean lineart and coloring

The rest i use for shading: 5&6 if you want a more textured look, 7&8 for a smoother blend

Thanks for the ask ~ happy drawing ^.^

On today’s episode of “short experiment that turned into a full-blown project that will inevitably lead to even more projects”….

I started making a foliage brush set for procreate. Once I have a chance to test them out/make adjustments I’m planning on putting them on gumroad. I wanna add a couple natural looking grass texture brushes as well 🌿

I decided to make a quick overview of what brushes I use the most. The brushes and guide are both available on my Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/muruusa

Procreate Resizing Tip by Mikestockings

Head Advice #1: Everybody’s head is the same size.

Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.

The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)

Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!

Head Advice #2: You can use head size to indicate a character’s size.

Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!

You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.

Head Advice #3: Don’t go shrinking anyone’s head.

The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:

If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.

Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.

May be a stupid question, but why do you paint things in different colors before starting to paint? Like, in the crowley plant timelapse you painted crowleys body pink and the plant blue, why didnt you use a green base color for the plant already? And in the angels piece if I'm not mistaken you also changed those colors to different tones multiple times before starting to actually color it properly. Is it just a way of "separating" different areas of the piece before painting or is it something that actually helps with the coloring for some reason? If its the later, can you explain?

Not a stupid question at all, I get asked this a ton! I'll try to explain it as best as I can:

(I work with Clip Studio Paint btw, I'm not sure if this works in other programs)

So when I'm done with my lineart

I use the bright colors to seperate each important object and character. Each of these colors is on a different layer below the lineart.

It helps me keep everything organized!

After that, I add a folder on top of the layer with each bright color and add a clipping mask to that folder. Now, the folder is clipped to the layer with the bright color. That way, everything I now add into that folder will not go outside of the bright color area.

Which looks like this:

(the clipping mask icon is in the left corner highlighted blue)

My next step is to now add all the actual colors to the character. Each part (skin, hair, jacket, pants etc.) gets a seperate layer. Which looks like this:

And when I'm done with that I can yet again go back to my beloved clipping mask and add a layer on top of every part and add clipping masks to add details (like shadows and highlights)! That way you don't have to worry about drawing outside of the area.

It looks like this:

I just like using this method cos everything's more organized. I used to not do it for the longest time and coloring was always a bit of a pain, but ever since I do it like this it's been way more fun!

And why do I use bright colors? Using bright colors in different shades just helps me get a clear picture of all the different parts of my illustration before I start getting into details. It also helps me see if I accidentally missed a part later on since bright colors shine through quite easily! I also choose the colors randomly since they don't really matter, that's why I didn't use green for the plant.

I hope this explanation helped you out and didn't confuse you even more! I'm always happy to explain my process!

Have a wonderful day, anon!

Into the confessionary a little spider walked

Mind not quite there

Quite lost

Memories scrambled around, confused

Pain flaring up, things that shouldn't have been said out

Siblings falling apart

Guilt over forgotten acts

A TEXTURE PACK FOR DIGITAL ARTISTS

I want to stop relying so much on resources downloaded from the internet and start creating my own tools, so I've spent the last few weeks scribbling with every art supply I could find and hunting for nice pieces of cardboard.

I'm proud to present:

14 colored lines

10 black lines

16 papers

12 cardboards

All A4 size!

Even though they can be used by themselves, these are the raw materials I'll be editing, combining, and experimenting with to create even more textures. I encourage you to do the same!

Anyone wish to have The Weird Cool Barbie with her own box and outfit?

I never had Mattel's Barbie, like, the original Barbie. I only had the knockoff Barbie that comes with cheap plastic body and yellow-corn-like hair, so having this specific Barbie with details and outfit just like in the movie would be a dream come true 🥹❤️
