STEP BY STEP // procreate commission
Added 2020-09-23 14:18:54 +0000 UTCHere’s a little step-by-step walkthrough of my recent procreate commission! (I also just posted the process video in a separate post, watch it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/41936043
Adding color to a black & white drawing is fairly new for me, so making this piece was a lot of trial and error and experimenting! I mostly achieved that by painting a color in a separate layer on top, and trying out some different layer modes to see if I could blend it nicely.
More info about the brushes I use here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/step-by-step-i-34615265 (that posts includes links to the brush sets).
I hope you find this useful! Let me know if you have any questions about this process!

2021-05-21 08:53:36 +0000 UTCGreat tutorial! Is it okay for me to post my own attempt to recreate this image using your process on instagram? I would not show your process or patreon only content just my finished result. If not, I understand I don't want to use your work in a way that I shouldn't

2021-05-20 16:44:35 +0000 UTChmm, it's a long story! the client wanted something similar to a drawing I'd done before where I used this technique. and with that first drawing, I was struggling with the volumes and making the linework feel more appealing, so I went into b&w shading first before adding color because I wanted to shift my focus to the volumes. I felt like my art was looking too flat at that time.

2020-09-25 09:32:57 +0000 UTCLove this process breakdown! Is there a reason why you decided to change up your workflow by starting with the black and white version instead of jumping straight into colour?

2020-09-24 09:35:32 +0000 UTCI looooove this illustration so much, and the process video for it was excellent to watch! Even though it's a commission, is it possible that this illustration will ever be offered as a print? Also, will you be posting the final image on Patreon as well? I'd love to see a larger version with more of the details =)

2020-09-23 15:45:01 +0000 UTCi also experiment a lot with colors before i really find the right mix! for me it helps not to make too many variations to choose from, but rather as soon as i see something that I like, i just go with that. otherwise i'll end up agonizing over which direction to take. i did a longer tutorial on colors that talks more about my thought process when choosing them! you can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-colors-39277902

2020-09-23 14:26:43 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting for this breakdown! Thank you so much! It’s breathtaking. Something I struggle with is choosing colors. I go back and forth between too many combinations and wondering if something else would work better and lose interest in it. How do you tackle this?
