The last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with a watercolor brush set for Procreate. Besides that I am really trying to get a consistent workflow out of Procreate. Every week I feel a little bit more comfortable with the small UI features. I of course found the time to complete an illustration for last months character design challenge topic cormorant fishing.

This is going to be last blog post for 2019. It’s been quite a year learned a lot about different style processes and a few new programs. As always I am excited to see where it all goes for the New Year. I finished a couple more weekend model reference studies and tried my hands at some animation using the new toolset in Procreate version 5.
For the rest of the year I plan on doing some back-ups, clean-ups and layout for my annual sketchbook. It’s still one of my favorite parts of the design process…Vol. 5 coming soon.

Finishing up a side project so I haven’t been doing many smaller drawings. I did find the time to do an Elf warrior for last months Character Design Challenge. A video game was recently released called Sayonara Wild Hearts the music and the world design really inspired me. I did a couple of late night illustrations based on a couple characters in the game.

Experimented with a couple more designs using Procreate and comic tones. I really like how it looks when it’s at 100% view and it really looks faded with stains. During the summer I did a number of small illustrations and created a fun summer artbook will all of my drawings in them. I still plan on creating a 2019-2020 artbook this was more spur of the moment looking at books on sale online after missing out on Lightbox Expo. I also did an illustration in honor of Batman Day.

After replacing my Apple Pencil 2 and getting a paper-like screen on my iPad I really feel comfortable with Procreate. Last week I purchased a brush pack from True Grit Texture Supply that emulates the offset print effect of comic book pages. It’s been so much fun trying to get that effect just right. I don’t want to draw characters in that golden age comic style just trying to find a style that works for me.
Besides that over Labor Day weekend I finished my most recent animation study in Clip Studio. Afterwards I used it in my first animation compilation it’s 22 seconds long but we all have to start somewhere.

Spending sometime getting better with Procreate. It took some experimenting with a couple of brushes to get just the right blue pencil effect to do rough sketches with. During the month of July I did a number of after lunch sketches in my at work sketchbook. A couple of weeks ago I cleaned up the scans and laid them all out on one page.

Enjoying the warm summer nights. I follow a number of incredibly talented illustrators online and occasionally do a draw this in your style challenge. Besides that I had to do an Evangelion drawing because Eva is one of my favorite franchises and of course the monthly character design challenge last months theme ninja cat.
