Great work man! I just bought your vintage comic book ink brush kit and this tutorial helped a lot with setting up the paper included.

[@inkgangboss]

Thanks for the nice words and tryin' out the brushes. That's my favorite and most used set.

Happy to hear it was helpful

[@sal3251]

Thank you!!

[@NiPedott]

For the “fit the screen” to work you have to turn on the magnetism 🙃

[@jurlpumpday]

How do you do so?

[@WayneParker]

Awesome technique!

[@inkgangboss]

Thanks for watching!

[@blackcatone3216]

How can I make black ink with texture, I don’t want blue :(

[@inkgangboss]

Select the layer with the blue, then go to Adjustment Icon, select Hue Saturation... and reduce the Saturation all the way to the left.

[@AuraiyaMadrid]

Thank you!

[@barbielopez8942]

what is the texture you used before you added the paper texture? like the grainy one ?

[@inkgangboss]

HI Barbie, that was a texture left over from another project. It isn't relevant to the tutorial. Good eye!

[@dishanigoswami6990]

Nice 🤩

[@inkgangboss]

Thank you!

[@icon8391]

Hey 👋 We miss you 😢 Will you come back?

Thank you! Very soon!

[@ingluissantana]

great!!!!

[@inkgangboss]

Thank you for watching!

[@loveartlove]

Thank you! I really appreciate the effort , I love ur art too!! stay creative

[@jameshaas9047]

For the paper itself do you have any recommendations taking a photo or should I find files of “papers”

[@inkgangboss]

I think there's probably a lot of free paper textures out there you can try or you can hit up a place like Creative Market or Design Cuts for some premium ones. Photographing's a good option if you can get a nice even light that can still show the grain.

[@Roberta-wu7bd]

are you a professional? i feel like you know stuff lmao youre amazing

[@inkgangboss]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice words!

[@sendalunar2974]

Love your style. Where can I see more of your art?

i have no clue how this works but thank u

[@DRONX]

it says dosent exist

[@inkgangboss]

What says, doesn't exist?

[@DRONX]

@@inkgangboss the link in the description,says the file u requested doesnt exist

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

When I click invert it doesn't do that at all.

[@inkgangboss]

Hi. I"m finding that since the update the invert layer's been acting buggy. I've put in a request to Procreate regarding this. Make sure your layer isn't locked or set to Alpha Lock. Another option is to re-import the texture file into a new layer and see if that works. See the comment by Mad Midnight. He opened the texture file directly to get it to work.

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

@@inkgangboss Yeah I just did that and it worked. It's buggy I guess.

[@decadentzero]

I’ve been trying to do that with diff photos of paper or even importing it as a file on its own. Still won’t work :\

[@jasmijnvs1096]

It sometimes works and sometimes not. It’s not fixed yet.

[@amybananana]

hi thank you for this tutorial! Where's the thumbnail from?

[@inkgangboss]

Thank you for the comment. The thumbnail is from an illustration I created.

[@unpersonmars2350]

Is a license required if someone intends to use these brushes in their commissioned work?

[@inkgangboss]

No. Once you buy them you're free to use them for commercial projects.

[@aletosti1592]

My procreate doesn't even allow me to pick the paper and I don't know why

[@inkgangboss]

Do you know if it's saved in your photo library or your iCloud drive? Can you see it and it won't let you select it or you can't find the texture at all?

[@newjooe]

The screen mode and the lighten mode cannot be set at the same time under current procreate version?

[@inkgangboss]

You can use either screen or lighten. They're both under the same transform menu so you are correct, you can't use them at the same time. Pick the one that looks best to you.

[@mayawinn4757]

every colour works on this paper except when using white, it comes out almost transparent :( any tips??

[@inkgangboss]

Make sure you're not trying to paint on the mask channel. You can also try creating a layer above the texture layers and see if that works. You may need to adjust the opacity.

[@tetrawoofer]

Is there a way this can be made into a brush?

[@inkgangboss]

I haven't explored this. I might give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ugneb3732]

the link doesn't work anymore pls help :((( "The thing you were looking for doesn't exist."

[@inkgangboss]

Can you paste the link you're referring to in the comments, please?

[@ugneb3732]

@@inkgangboss it is fixed now, thank you!

[@lilianmiramontesjr.7550]

I wish I could do this with krita

[@inkgangboss]

Does Krita Have curves? If it does, I think you can pull it off.

[@ookiiyoo]

Anyone else unable to use white after creating the paper texture group? I can use literally any color but plain white.

[@inkgangboss]

Are you in the mask layer by chance?

[@jojoapple2706]

It doesn’t work for me either idk

[@natascha_kn]

But the colors are so off when doing this. Black becomes blue, white is not showing up at all. It’s very hard to get any color right really.

[@inkgangboss]

You can adjust the hue saturation and desaturate the textures. That solves the color issue.

[@sunamoonsunshine5397]

name of the background song ?

[@inkgangboss]

U In My Arms by Jeremy Blake. Part of the KZbin Audio Library. He has a popular channel on KZbin: Red Means Recording. Super talented music producer.

[@countryfulcrum]

Hey just wanted to let you know that this is awesome and real good lookin! Also I am trying to figure out if I can basically save this as a custom canvas, so that it’s all set up when I want to use it, rather than having to repeat these steps every time. Do you have any ideas about this or have tried it yourself? Thank you!

[@inkgangboss]

Yes, once you create the layers, and everything's how you want, close the file. When you want to use it, just duplicate it and it's good to go.

[@aqualicka]

Dude, why aren't you making videos anymore?

[@inkgangboss]

More to come real soon! Thanks for commenting.
