Free Halloween Coloring Pages

Leave a comment

It’s no secret that everyone loves the symmetry tool in Procreate. It’s easily one of their best new features. I recently created some fun Halloween coloring pages using symmetry. The first is a bunch of Halloween items, skulls, pumpkins, spider webs, all that jazz. The second is a blank skull template that you can use to create some amazing sugar skulls.

Introducing Prime Meridian

Prime Meridian hand-lettered font

I spent the whole weekend putting the finishing touches on a brand new font and now it’s finally ready to make its debut. I call it Prime Meridian because the Os and Gs kind of reminded me of a globe. It comes with capital letters only, but also includes numbers and some basic punctuation and symbols. I plan to install it on the Over app on my iPad and use it for creating Instagram posts, but it has all sorts of fun potential uses.

Pick it up on Creative Market or Etsy and tag @AlexisGentry in your creations so I can see the cool stuff you make!

Introducing the Sketchy Brush Pack

Leave a comment

If you’ve followed me on Instagram for any period of time, you know that I really don’t like sketching.

I like diving headfirst into a project and letting the undo button be my sketch. But recently, I’ve been trying to train myself to sketch out my ideas to re-think layouts, lettering styles and sometimes colors. One project whwere I actually attempted to sketch first was this Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure quote, and I was thrilled with the way it turned out.

Maybe there’s something to this sketching thing after all!

So, with that in mind, I started working on a pack of brushes that made sketching more fun. I wanted pencils, ball-point pens, and even the look of a dried-out brush marker—which was modeled after one of my very own frayed and drying brush markers. That turned into this pack of 5 lettering brushes and a bonus texture called the Sketchy Brush Pack. You can get it now on Etsy and Creative Market.

Here is what comes in this brush bundle:

Side note: One of my favorite (and most time-consuming) pieces of all time was created entirely with the Pencil Pusher brush in this pack.

Free brush inspired by old school Nick

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about ’90s nostalgia and got inspired to make this brand new Procreate pattern brush. It reminded me of something you’d see on a wall at the old Nickelodeon Studios in Universal Studios on a summer break from school back in the day when every kid wanted a big orange couch, when getting covered in green slime was a badge of honor, and when the biggest drama in your life was deciding which Scholastic books to order.
