PROCESS VIDEO // smoke
Added 2022-09-28 09:00:04 +0000 UTCHere’s the process for my smoke painting from last April! I drew this one way faster than I normally do: the entire process took about 2 and a half hours. I sped it up to twice the original speed so that the video isn’t too long!
I kind of painted this one as a companion piece to another smoke painting I made, and I started both around the same time - so sometimes you’ll see that other painting open in Photoshop at the same time. The main technique I used for this painting process was a mix of lasso and gradient. That helped me create the soft smoke effects and the color transitions. Here’s a resource that explains the technique in more detail in case you want to try it!
I think this painting was a lot about getting flowy, smooth shapes in the smoke. I wanted a stylized effect where the smoke was a bit thicker and more dense than what it would normally be. My tutorial on painting flowy shapes explains how I do this in a lot more detail - lots of the stuff I talk about in that tutorial are also visible in this process video!
Hope you enjoy this one and let me know if you have any questions!

hey jennifer! unfortunately procreate doesn't have a gradient tool. the best substitute is using a brush and then applying a blur to that!

2022-09-28 12:59:47 +0000 UTCThanks! I was so looking forward to it since you made those grayscale paintings. Btw is grayscale painting is in your TODO list for the tutorials. It would be great to learn the fundamentals of the painting process without concerns about the color.
