I Always Draw Everything On A Small Scale And Then Size It Up Before Exporting Bc My Software Lags Like

i always draw everything on a small scale and then size it up before exporting bc my software lags like crazy on bigger scales. but the cat practices i spent 3 hours on the other day turned out to be extremely tiny. like, it's literally just the silhouettes.

a long distance between the two

it's been a good couple of months

hey! can you briefly talk about your drawing process? steps, brush preferences etc.

hey! nothing fancy or too technical worth mentioning tbh. i used to start with a light sketch and work my way through there but i no longer do that. instead, i block in main shapes and colours without worrying about the values too much. then i start adding details to the point where i am happy with the result. i try not to zoom in at all, and paint everything on one layer if possible (just to get that traditional feeling. things can get a bit overdone/realistic if i zoom in too much for detailing, and i personally am not a fan of that look).

in terms of brushes, again, nothing fancy. a flat brush with full opacity for blocking-in colours and detailing, a round bristle brush as mixer. i was obsessed with brush-hunting on gumroad or creating custom ones. but i now prefer messing with the brush settings if a specific one is needed. much easier than finding a new brush.
