Custom brushes: The Freaking Brush

I use an altered version of Procreate’s default 6B Pencil in Procreate for most of the illustration. I only need to change its size to take it from a drawing pencil to a thick painting brush.To add a bit of grain to the character’s skin, I take the Spatter and then work it on a low Opacity layer, with the brush mode set to Overlay.

Procreate is, in my mind, the best-designed program for drawing and painting. Unfortunately, it lacks certain colour settings and adjustment tools, so I move the image back and forth between some apps to adjust the colours and mood. Apps such as Snapseed and VSCO provide more than enough control over the atmosphere that I’m trying to achieve in the painting, and are ridiculously fast to use, too!One of Procreate’s great features is the Color Drop tool.
