Sure thing!!awesome!!
i just got procreate
do you mind telling me how i can improve/how you do it?
(in a private message if it clogs up this )
I think theses are fantastic, what I would like to see is an African Butterfly Fish ( pantadon )
I think this one is my favorite so far, I hadnāt seen the fish before so it was very interesting to drawāŗļø
Woahhhhhhhh those are all awesome!!!! Stunning! How long do they take!?
Oh yeah, Iāve been working on my times haha. They used to take hours, and Iām used to spending 60+ hours on traditional pieces. But Iāve drawn so many digital ones that at this point Iām able to complete them very quickly. My goal was to develop a technique that would produce a good result, but also not take many hours.The butterfly fish took a max of 19 minutes..
According to the forum message time..
I usually take 30 mins to 60
Could you explain the technique?Oh yeah, Iāve been working on my times haha. They used to take hours, and Iām used to spending 60+ hours on traditional pieces.

I work general to specific. I think thatās generally recommended in the art world, but I didnāt have an art teacher until about 2 years ago, so everything Iām saying Iāve more or less learned myself. So with digital, I start with a āblock in.ā I donāt do outlines anymore, but I used to. I find it easier to just block in basic colors. I squint at my reference, and just try and place down the first colors I can identify. Normally with a rectangular brush to keep it loose. Then, I continue building on that base. Just zooming in and out, adding details in the most important areas. Depending on the style, Iāll build up more with little brushstrokes vs starting off with a really blurry base. (Like the algae eater work in progress vs the gourami). Hope that is of some help! Iāll answer questions best I canCould you explain the technique?
Staring too long at my iPad mini makes my head hurt lol
