Such a beautiful illustration

[@RoyalPayne1979]

If you turn on color fill it will automatically color it without drag and drop

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Thanks for the tipp! :)

[@starminlights]

Such a lovely illustration! I love all the textures you used, it really brought the illustration to life 😄💕

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Thank you so much!

Hello, Mrs.Ulferts, I love your drawing style. I’m new to digital painting, thank you so much for the tutorial and also adding the alternative brushes from Procreate. Great!

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! Glad you found my video useful! 😃

[@kayladean6301]

New subbie here. Beautiful artwork! ❤️ I also enjoy using Lisa Glanz brushes. They’re great. 😊

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Oh, thank you!! And yes, Lisa's brushes are just amongst the best out there!

[@saftadenisa4004]

If we don t have this brushes,can u tell us some procreate native alternative?

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Hi! In the description I mention a Procreate alternative for most of the brushes I used. The only brush/stamp that has no real Procreate alternative is the alcohol ink stamps - I’m afraid this is something you would need to get…

[@terzerah]

How many layers you have for draw it?

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

I just checked - it‘s 77 layers:)

Wish u would go a little be more in on the choice of the colour palette. I always have such a hard time

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Hello! I'm afraid I'm not the best to talk about colour palettes. I usually use my custom palette of colours which I created over the past couple of years. In this case I wanted to try something new and really liked the look of an illustration I found on Pinterest. I picked my colours from this illustration and added some more I felt I wanted/needed. It is a very intuitive process and rarely a conscious decision. What I also always make sure is that I have enough light and dark values in my palette. Hope this was a little bit helpful.

Schönes Video, nur schade, dass es nicht auf Deutsch ist 😅 deutsche Tutorials findet man leider viel zu selten und sogar die eigentlich Deutschsprachigen stellen ihre Videos vermehrt auch in englisch ein.. ich finde es schwer, mich auf eine fremde Sprache und das Tutorial selbst konzentrieren zu müssen 😅 ansonsten 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@julia_ulferts_illustrations]

Huhu! Das kann ich aus Zuschauersicht total verstehen. Mir geht es mit spanischen Domestika-Kursen immer so, dass ich es als große zusätzliche Anstrengung empfinde, wenn ich die Untertitel zusätzlich lesen muss. Manche Kurse schaue ich deswegen gar nicht bzw. nicht zu Ende. Aus "Video-Ersteller-Sicht ist aber die Reichweite auf KZbin, Skillshare usw. auf Englisch enorm viel höher und daher viel lohnender. Danke aber für dein Daumen hoch!:)
