I spent my Thanksgiving break watching a zillion amazing movies–and some not so great ones. I still have several reviews left to write, but my reviews of The Irishman, Joker and Marriage Story are live on Trashwire now.
Skull freebies for Halloween
Halloween is only about a week away and I’m back from the dead (well, actually just a very busy few months at work) to bring you two new free brushes for Procreate.
The first is a simple skull stamp brush.
And the second is a skull pattern brush, made from the skull stamp brush.
You can download both for free on the brush listing page here.
Fixing Game of Thrones
I was less than thrilled with the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, and I’m definitely not alone. So I wrote a little something about a few small changes that would have greatly improved “The Bells”. Check it out on Trashwire.
April’s featured free brush is Copy Cat
This month’s featured freebie is one of my most popular brushes, Copy Cat. It was one of the first brushes I made way back when I first started experimenting with brush creation in Procreate. Copy Cat is like Shady Lady, but with a cool texture that gives it a chalk or pencil feel. Download it for free here.
Check out some great letterers on Instagram who have used the brush below:
I tried Abbie’s destroyed photo tutorial and it’s great
Chances are, if you have an iPad and you use Procreate, you’ve watched at least one tutorial by Abbie from Uproot. Not only is she an insanely talented artist, but she’s also one of the most creative people in the iPad art game right now and she’s practically a scholar in Procreate. Her tutorials make everything so easy to understand and try out yourself, so I was pretty excited when I finally had time to try her destroyed look tutorial. I played around with the method for a couple of profile pic ideas last night while watching TV and this was the one I liked the most.
Give it a try for yourself with the tutorial below and see if you get as into it as I did.
