I use a wide variety of brushes, but almost 80% of my drawings are made with one brush. That’s the “butter shader,” a custom brush I made by tweaking over and over again— it’s included in my brushset (which is available on my shop!). For all my digital sketches I use my custom sketch brush (also in my brushset).
I also purchased the MaxU Gouache Brushset and use various brushes from that— mostly the “clean” brush.
Procreate also comes with awesome default brushes! It’s a bit tricky to figure out how to customize them to your liking, but play around and you’ll figure it out! I find most of the helpful settings to be in the “Apple Pencil” section.
Well, it depends. As it stands now, I'm a full time student with a part time job outside of my art, so some days I have tons of time to draw while (most) others, I don't even cobble together two hours. I try to draw at least 30 minutes every day, usually about an hour. If I have commissions lined up, I'll put in more time.
I also put together around an hour to manage my business / social media needs, such as posting and engaging on Instagram, working on my shop, responding to emails, etc.
I am a 100% addicted to collecting art supplies that I simply do not have the time or motivation to use. It's pretty bad. But of my massive pile of supplies, there are some that I keep coming back to. You can find a full list in my blog post here!
Favorite part of the painting process:
- ideation (I love just dreaming about ideas) - sketching! Favorite part of my art process in general:
- interacting with you guys and seeing how you guys interact with my art.
I can't even believe how lucky I am to have such a community. You guys make everything possible for me!
