This has been my absolute best experience with a tutorial so far! I mean, there are tons of awesome teachers out here and I’m grateful to all of them. But you stand out because of the absolute creativity of your art AND that I was able to follow along to 85% accuracy (I think). And how gorgeous are those brushes! Worth every buck!

[@stilted]

I always think “okay, I have enough brushes, I can’t buy anymore” And then a set like this comes out! Maybe I have room for one more set… 😂

[@Lisaglanz]

Haha!! I have the same problem with cookbooks!! Thank you so much, that's the best compliment 🤗❤️

[@glenda7921]

I love the brush headers! So helpful. You’re work is so joyful. Thank you Lisa.

[@Lisaglanz]

Yay! So glad those are helpful to you 😊 Thank you so much for your kind comments, I really appreciate it!

[@straylight4521]

Lisa’s work is like magic! I have almost every brush from her that I use for art commissions and more. When I had difficulties downloading before, she patiently assisted me and made sure everything was okay! Thank you for all these gifts!! Always looking forward to your works!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much for such a lovely kind comment! I'm sooooo thrilled you love using my brushes, it's an honour to have you using them in your art commissions xx ❤️🤗

[@smullis7]

Thanks for the tutorial. I think I have every one of your Procreate brush sets and love them, but the burnt pencil has become my favorite!

[@Lisaglanz]

Wow!! Thank you so much for being a customer!!! I'm super happy you love the burnt pencil, it's one of my favourite too 😊

[@suzyfbabyyy]

I thought I was done buying brushes after getting 3 sets from you…just got 4 more 😂 love your brushes so much Lisa, thank you!

[@Lisaglanz]

Hehe!!! 😂 Thank you so much! That means a lot knowing you are enjoying them so much. Thank you for being a customer! ❤️ Happy creating!

I only recently got into drawing after turning 40! and I ve been drawing everyday ever since... and when I was searching for inspirations I got to meet Lisa's brushes and work,,, I just fell in love. It feels like I got to meet a teacher that starts this journey with me. Thank you so much Lisa!

[@Lisaglanz]

Awww!!! That's amazing to read you're venturing into drawing! I also started my illustration career in my 40s, I think it's never too late. Keep practicing and enjoying the process ❤️🙌

[@luckyjarm]

[@Lisaglanz]

Oh that's SO wonderful!!! So happy you're enjoying the brushes and love the results in your work, it brings me such joy to read that! Thank you so much for being a customer xx Happy creating!

[@wyldeunleashed]

First, thank you for organizing your brushes! Second, I own *hundreds* of brushes - including most of your sets! - and I think *this one* is the key to translating my traditional art style into digital! Thank you! I worked through this tutorial and it felt/looked so much like my on-paper work!

[@Lisaglanz]

Wow!!! That's THE best compliment!! I'm super happy the brushes are helping you translate your style into digital form. That brings me immense joy ❤️ Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment. Happy creating!

[@echohyan]

Lisa, just bought this we. As same as others, I owe many of your brushes. Sometimes a struggle to know how to use them. Hope you can have more tutorial Videos,especially this set

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much for being a customer! 🤗 I am definitely hoping to do more tuts soon! Just working on a big project that will hopefully be finished in the neat future. 😅

[@lizzieb4963]

Love your technique Lisa - I think I have bought all your brush packs now - and now on this tutorial..love the brushes and effects - keep showing us more!!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!! Definitely hoping to do more tutorials soon xx

[@andreeeapop]

Same here, just as @stilted said. I just no longer question it; I simply buy any new brush set from Lisa. I'm sure I'll use it, or it might even inspire me to try something new. So, thanks, Lisa! They are all wonderful!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you SO much!! Your trust in my brushes means so much xx I really appreciate that and all your ongoing support ❤️🤗

[@Helenjojoful]

I bought this set and a few others a few days ago and I'm super excited fo this tutorial. thank you

[@beepbeep-m6m]

Love your style, super cozy :)

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you!! 😊 I really appreciate that!

[@joshuafrench3345]

Lisa! Your work is absolutely gorgeous! I can't decide between your dreamland pack or your vintage tales pack! Help!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments! Ooooo! That's a hard one 😅 I would say Dreamland is more for layering colour with various textures and Vintage Tales has more wet brushes similar to watercolour but also includes some interesting texture brushes. So it depends a lot on your style of creating. Not sure if that was helpful at all!?!

[@whaleactually]

hi! i just bought this set and loved making the painting! will you be doing any other tutorials feat this set? thanks for all you do!!

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Yes I am hoping to make more soon. Thank you so much for being a customer! I hope you enjoy using the brushes!

[@BeeDesigns]

I’ve already got a couple of sets of your brushes and they’re fantastic. Just bought this one and can’t wait to try it out. You’ve created some beautiful illustrations with them.

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for being a customer, I hope you enjoy the new set xx Happy creating!

[@divyathallap]

Loved your videos! And brushes. Omg. I am contemplating buying the iPad Pro, your brushes are gorgeous! I must have them :) And oh! I have a silly question, I see you are wearing a glove of sorts ? Is that helpful for drawing on the iPad ?

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you !! Super happy you're enjoying them xx The iPad Pro really made a difference for me 😊 Not a silly question - The glove is helpful if you find you keep accidentally undoing all the time. Even though I have the palm rejection etc, my hand kept accidentally initiating the undo function which was very annoying. So the glove definitely helps with that, but it can take a little bit of getting used to as it's not as comfortable drawing without it. Hope that helps!

[@user-cw7uu7eb2n]

The character holds a special place in my heart😍😍😍😍 Can you tell me What that art style is called?

[@Lisaglanz]

Aw! Thank you so much! I don't really have a name for my style other than it's whimsical and perhaps slightly vintage style 😊

[@cloudjolie]

I love your art❤❤❤how do you make those procreate brushes?

[@Lisaglanz]

With lots of love, patience, experimenting and testing! 🤗❤️ Glad you like it!

[@TheMamabrigitte]

If I wanted to make a portrait like this but of my niece and then print it and put a wooden frame on it,...what canvas should I have in pixels or cm? so it doesn't get lost when printing

[@Lisaglanz]

It depends on how big you'd like your final print to be. Ideally you want to create your artwork the same size, or bigger, than the final printed size at 300dpi. So if you'd like an A3 print for example, your canvas should be 297mm x 420mm at 300dpi. You only start losing quality if your artwork is low-res and you enlarge it more than 120% of it's original size. So always create the artwork on a canvas that's at least the same size as the final print at 300 dpi resolution. Hope that helps!

[@user-oj5ub6ry2e]

Hi there! I love this new set. I had a question regarding the color burn brush. I want to draw a girl with blonde hair but it ends up looking reddish orange. Is there any way to achieve a blonde look with this brush? Thank you!

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you're enjoying the brushes! The burnt pencil works similar to the colour burn blend mode, so as you paint over the same area several times, the colour starts to "burn" into the colour that's already on the canvas. For blonder hair I would recommend using a very pale yellow - even cream, you'll notice how more intense the yellow will be when you paint. As you paint with the paler colour the burned areas won't be as reddish in colour. Hope that helps!

[@user-oj5ub6ry2e]

Thank you for your reply! After watching the tutorial again, I realized that you actually talk about this while using the brush 🙈 Thanks again and I love your work!

[@CozyFox_Art]

Lovely brushes I really like them... But I tried to follow this tutorial to get an idea of the brushes. I also used the same color palette... Somehow my colors were much brighter or in general different than yours (like the BG color was less red) Worked on a sRGB canvas... Was this the mistake?

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you're enjoying the brushes! I used the sRGB profile as well so your colours should be the same. I used quite a few different blend modes, perhaps you might have used a different one to mine or maybe the opacity on those layers are different? It's hard to tell what could be causing the issue without seeing your document. If you like, I'd be happy to take a closer look at your file, you can send me an email to [e-mail] and include a link to download your file, or send me some screenshots of your layers panel and I can try and figure out the problem for you 😊

[@CozyFox_Art]

@@Lisaglanz thank you dear 😍 it's not that I want to do it exactly the same way but I was wondering whether I used the brushes wrong... For example her skin in the face hasnt had any texture at all. I will see whether I find the mistake I probably made . If not I would be glad about help thanks a lot and have a great day 😊

[@CozyFox_Art]

Ok I did it a second time (more practice hoho) and this time it worked out better. I think I used a different tone for the face and background than you. Can't wait to use the brushes for more ideas... And. I loooooove that u organised them so well. That helps so much to keep in mind what u can use for what ❤

[@Lisaglanz]

@@CozyFox_Art Yay!! Super happy about that! Getting familiar with the brushes can take one or two drawings, so glad you sound like you're all set now 😊 Thank you again for being a customer! I hope you keep enjoying the brushes xx

[@anandiprema]

43:06 do you this step on the same layer as the step before?

[@Lisaglanz]

Hi! The time stamp seems to be at the end. Let me know where the step in the video is so I can assist you better, thank you!

[@sunflwer1111]

I have a gift card visa and your site doesn’t recognize it because it’s not connected to an address.

[@Lisaglanz]

So sorry about that! Paypal is super strict about that. I also sell the brushes on Design Cuts which you can find here: www.designcuts.com/product/dreamland-brushbox-for-procreate/?ref=lisaglanz Hope that helps!

[@moudhi876]

How can I find the brushes?

[@Lisaglanz]

Hi! Super happy you're interested in the brushes! You can find the link in the description, I'll include it here as well: www.lisaglanz.com/shop/dreamland-brushbox-texture-brushes-for-procreate/

[@nighthealerrn1695]

I don’t have an Apple pen. Can I still get the same effects?

[@Lisaglanz]

In general, the brushes are created for the Apple Pencil, and some settings in Procreate are specifically set for the Apple Pencil especially when it comes to how the brushes behave when applying pressure etc. So you won't unfortunately benefit from that.But having said that, you will most likely still be able to get a lot of enjoyment and use out purchased brushes. The only thing is there might be some brushes that rely on the Apple Pencil to give specific results, these brushes will probably not behave as they were originally intended to which could be very frustrating for you. Hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions at all, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[@nighthealerrn1695]

@@Lisaglanz I got an Apple Pencil.🤗I’m ready to learn.
