Procreate....a lot like a simplified version of Photoshop
but with mixed media brushes for crayons, markers,
and such. I have to say....I like it!
The picture above was "tweaked" in PS...I added the
text, scan code, and stars on the face.
I started off with a background that I doodled in
Paper53.
I also started the face in Paper53. The brush in this app
allows for a watercolor look that blends well.
After importing the background and face I brought in a
picture of some newspaper and erased parts to make
the body. That's really neat to be able to take a pic
with your Ipad and import it into this app. The tie, legs,
hair, circles around the green, and the top and right
borders were made with texture brushes. The rest I
just sketched in using the technical pen and ink brush.
I saved this as a jpg (you can also create pngs with
this app by turning off the background before saving!)
and opened it in PS to complete the picture.
I do miss having paint under my nails....and I plan to
incorporate some pieces done in the studio with my
digital work....but.....this app only cost $4.99. That's
for unlimited papers, brushes, paints, stencils, stamps....
and I can carry my studio (my Ipad) where ever I want
to paint....the park...coffee shop....stuck in traffic....
well...you get the picture. Love! Love! Love!
