Food Drawing - Tumblr Posts
Food in pretty colors ❤
More homework :') this time i used a diferent technique ;0 i did my illustration in black and white and proceeded to color it with gradient maps :')
Here is an up close on Karen's birthday cake from South Park Dream~World!!!
Bought a tablet and it arrived today, so I decided to start training to get used and better at it
Pastel Doodle
Even before I tried the Procreate tutorials, I opened the app occasionally to play around a bit.
I feel like there’s a bit of a double challenge, the app itself, switching to a digital format with layers and digital brushes has its own learning curve, but also just drawing itself. I haven’t really drawn in ages and almost feel I have to relearn how. Nothing like some practice and also remembering not to take things too seriously or get discouraged 😊
Used the default Procreate pastel brush for this “study of an apple”. Done sometime last year.
Pear
A quick study of a pair using the default pastel brushes.
Pear Two 🍐
Decided to cut a few corners and buy some brushes. I’ll worry about learning how to do them myself much, much later :)
Googled around and decided on the Bardot Brushes, it also helped that there was a nice sale at the time! They also came with pastel backgrounds/paper.
I drew a quick pear using the Bardot pastel brushes to compare it to the one I did with the default brushes.
I do think the new brushes add a bit of extra “pastelness” feel to the drawing 😊
More Ferry Doodles
When the weather is nice I prefer to go out on deck, but winter, especially evenings are dark and cold, not really appealing 😊, so I got into some quick doodles. I’m actually not sure what I was doodling, fruit? I think it’s an apple, mostly playing around with the ‘new’ pastel brushes.
Plane Doodles - Peach
Well, seems like I tend go have a theme going for travel doodles, should try something other than fruit next time, diversify my portfolio and all 😊
Nothing much, I was just trying to distract myself from the fact I was on a plane, don’t like them. Used the Bardot pastel brushes.
Tangerine Dream
Actually, pretty sure they’re mandarins or oranges 😊
Everything is better when it’s free, decided to take advantage of the free classes at the Apple Store. It was pretty basic, but fun, especially having a live person to show me stuff and chat with. Videos are cool, but sometimes in person has its advantages.
Used the default brushes and a photo I took as reference for this sketch.
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 🍊
A Watercolour Pickle
Bardot has a couple of quick watercolour tutorials, so ended up doing them back to back, this time it’s a freehand pickle.
Lemon 🍋
Sticking a bit with the theme of food, here is a yellow lemon 🍋 😊
Trying out a few different YouTube tutorials I went back to Tatyworks and tried her gouache lemon tutorial. I wish she did more of them.
