What brush do you use? :0
Hi! I USE,, QUITE A FEW BRUSHES so this might get long,, I mostly use the "Charcoal Stick - Sargent - Dark" brush (sometimes with a lighter color and the Rendering blend mode set to ‘multiply’) from this REALLY GOOD brush pack for Procreate here! It's got a lot of super nice crunchy and smooth textured brushes, but I'd recommend making use of the apple pencil's tilt to get the most of them. MaxU's free "Sketchy Sarmento" pencil brush is a super good similar one that I used for a while too!
I'd recommend playing with the pressure settings in the apple pencil section of the brush studio to get the pressure you want though (especially for lining or sketching brushes). I get easily exhausted pressing my pencil down really hard to make darker marks, so it's important to tailor your tools to how you work. <:’]
I also like the gouache flow brushes (especially the "Gouache Flow Rough") from MaxPacks! Procreate's default Gouache and Watercolor brushes in the Painting section are also really good alternatives too.
I'M ALSO HUGE FAN of True Grit Texture Supply's tools, especially their Debaser Kit, Beat Tones Halftone Brushes, and Fast Grit Stamps to crunch the heck out of your artwork with paper and halftone textures. Purposefully putting "imperfections" in my artwork kinda helps me curb my perfectionism when it comes to drawing, so they might also be helpful to some folks! They also have a bunch of cool brushes in their free Sampler Pack here!
If anyone has any questions about the specific brushes/settings/techniques I used in a particular piece though, I'd be more than happy to try my best to answer! I’m not sure if the brush creators allow direct download links for their paid brushes, though. (´;ω;`) A lot of my process honestly just involves throwing textures at the wall and then blasting the heck out of it with overlay layers haha
Can you draw Mike and Naib together!!?
Gotta make sure your rescuer’s at maximum power!! 😤
small update?
Hi guys, thank you so much for all the kind words on my last post! I really really appreciate it, and I’m glad and very thankful that others are still enjoying my drawings when I do share them online <:’^] 🧡
2020 was definitely a super exhausting year, especially art-wise for me, but I’m hoping it gets a bit easier for myself when I finally finish college sometime this summer. I was finally able to get some mental health help this past year (!!) and I feel I have a somewhat better grasp on my own identity as a person and in my art?
I’m still on the more withdrawn side when it comes to talking online, but just a reminder I’ve also got a twitter account if that’s something you’re interested in! I’ll always be posting drawings here though, tumblr still has the superior photoset and tagging systems gfhgfd
I got into Identity V this past year! (*⊕▽⊕*) Love these funny monsters & silly doll people
