Sketching on the iPad
🕑 Added 2017-11-17 04:06:36 +0000 UTC (If the video won't cooperate, check it out here)I got an iPad Pro recently, hoping it will encourage me to do more sketching, and enable me to doodle the ideas I get while I'm relaxing and too lazy to sit at my desk and draw. So here's a short time-lapse video for you guys of something relatively simple I did tonight in an attempt to get comfortable with Procreate.
Drawing on the iPad feels a bit weird and takes some getting used to. The screen is very nice and crisp compared to my Cintiq though! And I like the thin pen a lot, though it's all hard plastic, so the fingertips can hurt a little after a while.
After getting a bit used to the tools in Procreate, it's a nice drawing software, especially for sketching. I still miss a lot of PS features while working though. It kind of forces me into a simpler workflow than I'm used to, which, while a little bit frustrating sometimes, isn't necessarily only a bad thing.

Yeah, it's nice! I like the color blending settings they added for brushes in the latest version.

Oooh, very nice. I love ProCreate. It's a pretty solid app and the only one that I've actually enjoyed using out of the few that I've tried on my iPad.

It's not impossible he'll show up in a thumbnail sketch at some point! I'm trying to sketch some more ideas for characters, creatures, and environments I imagine being in the world my characters are in. One of the environments I have some ideas for is the type this guy would fit into. So... we'll see. :)

This is really cool, I love the stylised anatomy that you've given him, very nice work 😄. Maybe we'll see him featured in a full painting with a lady at some point 😉.

Those hard chairs in highschool must not have been fun for that guy.

I'm glad you like it! At the end I just used a large soft airbrush with different colors on a few layers with different blending modes on them. Specifically, Normal and Overlay layers below the character, and Multiply on a layer on top of the layer stack to fade the bottom of the picture into shadow. Does that answer your question? I'd be happy to elaborate a bit if you need me to. :)

Oh my gosh, that was really beautiful and uplifting to watch! What on earth did you do at the end though, with the background? I am struggling to learn ProCreate myself, and keep running back to my comfort zone in clip studio...
