YouTube Tutorial Take Two

YouTube Tutorial Take Two

This time I finished it! 😊

Tried doing another James Julier tutorial, this time the “snow landscape drawing” one. Persevered through the pauses and rewinds and finished it. Not too bad 😊

Waterfall Tree Sunset

Another James Julier tutorial.

I don’t know, I feel like if there were more cherry blossom trees this could be a scene from a xianxia drama 😁

Already into my April pictures, May wasn’t super productive art wise, I think I need to draw a little more this month or I might start running out of art.

Red Poppies

Since I was getting more comfortable with following YouTube tutorials I thought I’d give some different ones a try. This is a watercolour tutorial I found from Tatyworks.

I used her tutorial watercolour brushes and the flower sketch provided.

Palm Tree Tropical Island Tutorial

This would be my third James Julier tutorial, the second that I completed. A nice beach scene with classic palm trees. I think I’m getting better at following along 😊

Procreate App Update

I’ve been posting in chronological order so far, but thought I’d post something a little more current and timely today 😊

The Procreate app updated recently to add the “roll” feature they had promised during the recent Apple iPad event and this past weekend I decided to have a look. Lisa Bardot did a YouTube presentation with some of her new brushes. It looks like there will probably be a slight learning curve, but it should make for some fun brushes and paintings.

The above were two quick tests using a couple of her sample brushes, these were definitely good to practice the pencil twist! I look forward to more brushes coming out incorporating the new “roll”. 😊

Watercolour Tutorial - Orange 🍊

One of the things I like about the Julier tutorials is that he uses the default brushes, no need to think too much, you can just follow along. With other tutorials it seems they are geared towards their own brushes, fair enough, but I’m still too new to digital art to be able to “transfer” the techniques “between brands” so to speak. Thus I went back to the source of my current watercolour brushes for a quick refresher.

A short Bardot tutorial on how to use her brushes, will probably have to repeat it before it fully sticks 😊. She did have an orange sketch, but I missed it and ended up just drawing along freehand. Behold an 🍊
