Hi!!! welcome back to another video. This one Is a bit long today :] What do you think of the new microphone? I went down the audio rabbit hole this week and almost lost my marbles...

[@BlancheFury]

Mic sounds great. Thanks for another awesome tutorial!

[@coffeebreakie]

I purchased your watercolor kit from creativemarket long time but didn’t know how to do with them much .Just found your youtube channel today so it really helps! This is the best video !! By the way do you mind of I ask what mic you use?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

@@coffeebreakie Hi! Thank you so much for your support ❤️ I use the cheapest Sennheiser lavelier mic ( I forget the exact name) and it's wired into a Zoom H1 input. This records a WAV file and it's not the best, but it's good enough. The audio out on the zoom h1 goes into a pair of cheap but comfortable gaming headset. This entire contraption is zip tied to the headband of the gaming headset - so it's basically all in one peice and self contained (powered by AA batteries). If you are interested to learn more about it, you can message me on Etsy and I can send pictures with an explanation :)

Do you have them in gumroad.com? I prefer gumroad platform as it host all my purchases. Thanks

[@quinnyr888]

Hi hi 🙋‍♀️ I just bought the brush kit yesterday and downloaded the free sketch to practice. But I found the first brush you used in this video should be “Smooth Leaf Fade” instead of Abstract Round. .... am I right? I tried so many times

[@novemberrain2184]

Hi calvin! I cant stop binge watching your videos Youre the reason i want to buy an ipad and the first thing ill do is buy your brushes!! Can u please tell me which ipad pro do u have? I wanted the ipad pro 2020 12" but it is TOO expensive 😪

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! Thank you so much ❤️ The best option right now is a 2020 iPad pro 9" or 11". The 12 inch is just way too big! You can look on eBay and find a lot of very good secondhand iPads for around 450$. The 2018 iPad pros are great! I do not recommend buying a used 12.9" iPad pro from any year. They are more likely to have problems.

Question: What kind of paper are you printing on? Love this tutorial! Hope you do more like this!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much! I just print on very smooth cardstock. It's not special paper or anything, it's just like craft paper or something :)

Hey Calvin, I love your videos and brush set! Your videos have been so helpful and fun to watch! Quick question: is the stippling brush part of a set of yours or found somewhere else? Thanks again for making such great videos! 💜

How are you printing from Procreate. Do you have to take a screenshot or jpeg to a computer?

[@oksanavictorivna7809]

So cool!! Thanks

[@agathahemingway8823]

Im still learning so Im not understanding why you would set a layer to multiply just to lower the opacity?!? Could you explain?

[@linda1541]

Your videos are great!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much!

[@PenAndDog]

so cute

[@jen91hh]

Hello Calvin! :-) Got a question: I purchased your brushes but they don't work like yours in the tutorial... :-/ my "abstract round" brush always has the same color opacity... so I can't create interesting textures... can you share your exact brush settings?;-)

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! Can you message me on Etsy about this? Usually, it's related to using a non apple pencil, a custom pressure curve, or some kind of incompatible version of Procreate. I can help you find out which is the problem :)

[@angelatang11]

Hi Calvin, i would like to ask what should I do when I merge the white layers together so that my drawing wont see through the backgrounders and the merged layer is larger than the original drawing and shows the white edge out? I hope you can see this, many thanks!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! Can you send me a screenshot of this white edge? You can message me on Etsy and attach a picture. I think I can help :)

what is your settings for your brush? we have the same brush but the texture is different

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! I only use the default settings - can you message me on the Etsy store? If you send a screenshot of your brush strokes, I can let you know what's going on :)

[@cossetpineda464]

Que hermosoooo!

[@autoauto2000]

what is name of the illustrator u where inspired?

[@ApettaMatta]

Do you know intuitive programs like procreate to get started with tablet and mac? Even with the ability to make simple animations

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

As far as I know, there aren't any comparable apps. The problem is mostly integration-- Have you tried an apple pencil before? I used to use a Wacom tablet, but after trying procreate with the pencil, it really changed my expectations. There is something really special about it...but it's hard to describe.

[@PaletteAdventure]

I bought the textured paper but I want it on a CMYK canvas and I can’t seem to get the same texture after copying the layer to another canvas. Please assist? 🤭

[@OliviaIsNaff]

What is the purpose of setting the layer to multiply? I noticed you do it in a lot of tutorials and I don't actually know what it does.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! So, transparency actually has many different possibilities and that's why Procreate has a long list of option. I prefer multiply because is always results in a darker shade when two colors or layered. It basically just gives me more leverage for getting darker colors. You should play around with different transparency modes in Procreate and you can see how they behave. Most if them are no good simply because they cannot be merged with other layers. The way I see it, there are only two useful transparency modes : normal, and multiply. All the other ones aren't going to work for my personal style because I don't like to have tons of layers. I really like to keep everything merged together in as few layers as possible.

What ipad are you using?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! It's the iPad pro from 2020. However, any iPad pro model from any year is totally fine ☺️ if you buy a used ipad, I do not recommend the 12.9" size. It's too big and pre 2018 iPads of that size do have some screen issues ( larger ipad was more flexible and damages the connection inside)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gusgusmommy2896]

You make it look so easy. But once i want to recreate it i completely lose it 😞

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! This is actually a really common problem. Everyone is different, but it's possible you aren't used to 'judging' your own unfinished artwork. It's normal for certain techniques to look really bad halfway through. You really just have to push through that and make it all the way to the end and have faith in the process. I often feel this way just before I have a sort of breakthrough in my art, so over time I learned to enjoy this kind of resistance. Of course, everyone is different and this might not be the same case with you. If you are stuck at any part, you can message me about it and I can do my best to help 😁
