New brushes for Procreate, a set of watercolor choices, got me to give them a try today. I never really got the hang of watercolor as much as I liked the medium. These feel a LOT how watercolor works to me and I might well make use of them more in the future. There's a lot to explore here, I think.
This reminds me of style I can't quite name... just looks familiar somehow. I am excited you are getting time to experiment with the new brushes in Procreate! I knew you would make good use of them! I started a drawing of the side of a barn just yesterday, then deleted it all because I HATED it and started over agian today. Seeing this made me wonder if I should try a watercolour layer under the ink.
ReplyDeleteWatercolor is not my usual thing at all. I never seem to get a hold on it. But digitally, I can fix mistakes I can't with real media. And I do like the look of it. So we'll see. Sounds to me like you're experiencing the same thing; the ability to remove something without real repercussions. We all have tons of images that are thrown away. Feels less wasteful when it's digital.
ReplyDeleteI think you saw my more successful watercolour attempts form 100 years ago. It's time to try and mix my drawing and painting with 3D now I think. The tools are there, I just have to meet them in the middle somewhere. There is a lot less waste with digital and the ability to just delete the image you hate forever without having to rip it into peices or something. I need to ut a matte covering onhte iPad as well, I found having one did cut the colour a little but it also made it feel so much more like drawing on paper and I think the apple pencil sliding over the glass is distracting.
