Hi, thank you. There's links to the brush sets I used in the description. I used a combination of brushes from each set but I think any one of those sets on their own are great.

Aww, thank you for watching. It felt like a slightly self-indulgent video :-D

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Fox!

Hi, I made it in Procreate.

Try it! Don't put any pressure on yourself, just get some cheap paints and see what marks you can make.

Oh gosh, thank you!

Thank you, hope it was useful in some way.

I do this as I find the eraser extremely annoying

Thanks for watching! :-)

The struggle is real! Even now, as I work through the 30 day Procreate challenge, the coloured pencils are calling me...

Thanks. I hope to do an update on how the 30 days went.

Paper choice is a lot to do with personal preference, but I like Bockingford inkjet watercolour papers. They're affordable and have a beautiful texture which suits my watercolours, or digital watercolours.

Very much a work in progress - both the art and the channel!

Thank you! I'm very much learning myself so I'm pleased this was useful.

Good question. I usually print on a textured paper that is similar to a rough watercolour paper, so I remove the background from the image as it's not needed. When I've accidentally forgotten to do that and printed the background, it ends up looking sort of muddied. But if I were printing on a very smooth white paper, I'd probably experiment and see what looked best.

Thank you so much!

Thanks buddy 😊

Thank you. I love long-tailed tits.

Thank you so much!

It's all in those amazing brushes!

I didn't realise how many smoothies I get through until I started making these videos!

Aww, thank you. I hope it's been useful.

Hi, yep it's definitely a very different process in Procreate. Unlike creating pencil or ink effects in Procreate, where the techniques aren't that different to the real thing. I enjoy doing both and would find it hard to choose between them but time wise, Procreate wins just because you end up with a finished picture, on your computer, the background removed if you want etc. Whereas my real watercolours have to be scanned in, 'cut out' away from the background, tidied up if I've gone over the lines too much, tweaked to get back colours or values lost in the scanning. Plus sometimes just the time of getting out the paints and tidying up again. I think it depends what effect you want from the end result. Good luck!

Thank you, hope it's useful.

Thank you. You should definitely check out the creators of the brush sets I mentioned. They all have good tutorials.

If you create, you're an artist! Don't be scared to try something. Have fun with it, make a mess, make ugly art that you don't want anyone to see. I experiment with all kinds of materials but most of them are hidden away in my sketchbook, just for me.

Hi, do you mean the little piece of music at the start when my name comes up? That was just a piece of free music in iMovie (shhhh, don’t tell people I’m editing in iMovie). I can’t remember the name of it but will try and remember to look when I’m back at my computer.

Thanks for responding! It was right under my nose, and explains why it was vaguely familiar! There is NO SHAME using iMovie! Have Final Cut Pro, which I always find too complicated, and end up using iMovie!

Thank you so much!

I wish I was better at both real and digital watercolours! My techniques are always very splodgy and reliant on the line work, but I'm enjoying experimenting with both. All of the brush creators I mentioned in the video/description, have great tutorials.

It's the 5th generation iPad Pro, 12.9".

Thank you. I keep forgetting to film when I'm drawing - I will try harder!

I'm still learning, but I'll try!

Yep! I have so many. They're amazing.

Thank you so much, glad you found it useful. I'm currently using a Canon Pixma Pro and this was printed on Bockingford inkjet watercolour paper which has a lovely texture perfect for watercolours, although it is a little yellowy.

@@daniwilliamsillustration interesting, I’ve never knew an ink jet specific watercolor paper existed. I have the entry level Epson printer with refillable ink and have fed Canson watercolor paper through the printer which is not recommended by the manufacturer. It works, but I have to fiddle with the paper by holding it plus adjust the colors a bit. I learned through Teela Cunningham to make a test print page by applying different types of overlays to the completed picture. (Like a screen of 70% or a color burn), then print out that sample page to see what adjustment will print the best. I hope you do more videos as you are also a good teacher. Thanks for your response. PS: I am also a fan of Calvin at Drifter’s Studios brushes too and it was nice that you shared who you use for Procreate watercolor brushes.

@@evelynwald9132 Yes, it took a fair bit of playing with adjustment layers and so on to get the best print. And then if I use a different paper, I have to tweak everything again.

It's just the way I prefer to do it. I get a more even cover with fewer of the marks where the pencil has been lifted and has gone over itself, which you always get with watercolour brushes. But I use different techniques depending on which brush I'm using and what I'm drawing.

@@daniwilliamsillustration Gotcha, thank you.

Thank you! This isn't how I'd normally use Procreate, but I was impressed by how similar the end results were (especially as I tend to reduce the size of my finished drawings) and it's such a timesaver!

Thank you ☺

Aww, thank you so much! I'm still getting to grips with Procreate but it's an amazing tool.

@@daniwilliamsillustration it truly is an amazing tool and bless Procreate for doing all they do for artist. Those subscription services like Adobe are just ridiculous. Keep doing what you do and inspiring others. ❤️

Thank you. My art style is evolving, but I will keep going.

Thank you! Having th right brushes makes all the difference.

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks. Julia Dreams and Drifter Studio both have blenders in, but I think only Lisa Glanz's most recent pack includes one.

@@daniwilliamsillustration ok, thx.☺️
