PROCESS VIDEO // roses - phone recording

Added 2025-07-25 09:05:03 +0000 UTC

Here's some of the process for my Roses painting! These were just some snippets that I filmed to create reels / tiktoks from, so it's not the full process from beginning to end, just some parts of it. If you want to watch the fulll process video, check out the feed - I just posted both parts!

Here’s some information about this video:

It has been sped up by 150%, so 1.5 times the original speed.
This painting session took me about 4 hours.
I mostly used the hard round brush from my own brush set to paint this. I also used a ‘soft smudge’ brush to soften the edges. I got this brush from Yuming Li’s set that I got when I signed up to their Patreon.
This is painted in Adobe Photoshop. You can replicate a similar workflow in Procreate, with the exception of the gradient tool and the number of layers used!

Here are some helpful resources that can help understand this process in more detail:

Resource // drawing plants: This is the challenge resource video for the plants challenge, in which I chose to paint round, pink roses very similar to these. In this video, I run you through my full process and talk about which design challenges were involved.
Tutorial // stylizing trees & plants: In this tutorial, I talk about how you can divert from a reference image to create a stylized interpretation of a plant. The demo also runs you through how I paint a rose.

Hope you enjoy!
