‘Tis the season for drawing festive things, so here is a quick tip for drawing easy snowflakes in Procreate! I’ve been working on a client project recently which involved drawing snowflakes and it took me a while to get my head around in procreate as I wanted 6 points and all the symmetry tools in […]
I make almost all of my patterns in Procreate and then put them together in Photoshop. I LOVE using soft textured brushes in Procreate. Cool to draw lines with and get those lovely rough edges, but not so much fun for filling in, right? Because you get those wooly edges that just won’t fill all […]
