[@MimimooIllustration]

Ah wonderful, I hope you like it!

[@gewoonzijnkarin]

Thank you for this beautiful and clear video. Can you also tell me how you get a paper texture? 😊

[@dotpenji]

Your expertise in digital art and the way you seamlessly blend traditional textures with digital techniques is truly captivating! 🎨✨ Can you share some tips for effectively organizing creative projects in Playbook, or perhaps delve into your process for choosing the right blend modes to enhance the natural feel of your artwork? 🖌📂

[@monicasoriano8581]

I agree! Organizing creative projects and choosing the right blend modes are crucial aspects of digital art, Don't be afraid to explore and adapt these tips to fit your creative process and preferences.

[@xeinakingdom]

I loved your tip about scribbling in! When I remember to, I add some watercolour brush texture over the clothes and hair of my characters in the same but maybe darker colour ^W^ It isn't too noticeable but for me it adds a new dimension to the piece :> sometimes i even make the watercolour a different colour (like yellow or green on top of blue) and that creates an interesting, more natural effect to because in real life colours can mix and be different to how they seem at first! ^W^

[@MimimooIllustration]

That's a great idea!

[@julesm9081]

💜💜💜

[@nuraisyahaini]

Hi Mimi! I'm your new subscriber on Patreon, and end up in this video because I'm trying to find how you add shading on your drawing. What color you use for shading by the way? 😊

[@crystalclearice]

Also which device is this?

[@crystalclearice]

Which digital art app are you using in this video and is that a digital pen??

[@CuteaBubbles]

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful. 💖I just have a question, it might be silly but, how do you pick the darker colors/shades when you start adding textures? yours seem to blend in well and have this vibrant effect with the base colors without making a shade/shadow effect. Oh! And I'm so glad you introduced playbook to me, I was just looking for a storage website to store my artwork in! incredibly good timing~ 😃 I signed up and can't wait to start exploring the features once I get accepted to the artist and designer tier!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Yay so glad you liked it! I use 'multiply' blend mode to get those vibrant, darker colours - you can see the steps at 07:06 in the video 🥰

[@CuteaBubbles]

@@MimimooIllustration Ooh I didn't realize you used the same technique on the second drawing. 🙈😅 I'll definitely try it! Thanks! 💕

[@watermelonmint_]

I use iBisPaint X, would there be a way to convert Procreate brushes into brushes for other drawing apps? I tried to learn Procreate but I didn't like it as much as I did iBis. But I suppose I could make it a goal this year to try it out again and learn it!

[@justlikekomi]

Hi Mimi! I got the brush pack from Etsy yesterday and after testing it a bit I noticed that the texture of the "Mimi chunky pencil" is slightly different than shown in the video, I feel like it's more smooth and leaves less "white spaces" when coloring. In the video it looks more like a coloring pencil or a 6B one. So I decided to open the pack on Procreate again and noticed that in the pack I got, this specific brush is named "Mimi chunky pencil 2", so the question is: am I using it wrong or it got an update? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong because I'm fairly new to this lol but anyway, I love the brushes and can't wait to make wonderful illustrations with it!

[@MimimooIllustration]

Hi Giuliana - thanks so much for purchasing the brushes! Oh that's so strange. I just re-imported the brushes into Procreate and the chunky pencil brush looks normal on my end, but there's a good chance we might have accidentally mis-labelled a brush in the video and it might have been the chunky crayon (which has lots more texture) instead of the chunky pencil. Is there a particular part of the video you were referencing? I'll check if we made a mistake! Thanks 🥰

[@justlikekomi]

Thanks for replying! Oh, yeah, sorry! I was talking about the part when you start coloring the rabbit's hat, in the video it seems much more like a pencil and when I use it it feels more smooth, much closer to the smooth pencil. I tried it again this evening and what I noticed is that if I don't apply a lot of pressure, it gets a little bit more like the video, but not as "sharp", and if I try your tip of shading (and applying more pressure) it gets smoother. So idk, maybe it's a me problem, as I mentioned before I am very new to this digital illustration fun hahaha@@MimimooIllustration

[@shootka_trails]

Hello. I bought your brush set for procreate but somehow can’t find all the brushes you use in the video. For example there is no such brush as Mimi simple sketching…

[@MimimooIllustration]

Hello! I have two brush packs, the Simple Sketching brush is in the second pack 😊

[@MilkoMilkovicz]

Nice video, but I have a question. How much do you earn just from illustration? Only from Illustration. You made a video, how much you get paid from social media. Would be it worth to do illustration without using any of these?...

[@user-ns7em7gp3g]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I just recently bought Procreate and having a blast learning how to use it. This helps so much!
