Girl who witnesses a supernatural event breaks into some supposedly secret government facility that houses objects of power/artifacts that have the ability to alter reality so she can get her brother back.
If its not too invasive, can I ask for brushes or other resources you may recommend? I'm plenty aware they don't make an artist good, but I'm always on the hunt for the perfect ones!
Oh, I am always on what feels like a never-ending hunt for brushes, I only use Procreate these days so these are Procreate brushes, at the minute I am really really enjoying these brushes called Frappe Pencil I love The Frappe Pencil Neo and Double Frappe smooth, you can see me using them in the last sketches I posted I think I solely used them in the drawings of Dhalia! I also really like the water-coloured brushes from Fatima Mandouh.
There are some brushes that I also use a lot that are from paid brush packs like the TGTS - Scratchy squeegee and GvW InkAmigo Waterson Dry (that's the one I use to draw Horizon Walkers) the Jingsketch brushes are also really nice.
I also like a few of the base brushes from Procreate, I love Nikko Rull, but I did edit mine a bit to be a wee bit more textured, I also like Eaglehawk, Tinderbox and Oberon.
Resouces wise I use Magic Poser if I am having trouble getting a pose down, as well as taking reference photos of myself. I also use an app called Freeform that is kind like an inspo board where you can see everything at once, I use that for like background character outfit references and city references.
I hope that's helpful! I tend to jump pencils quite a lot, so if there is ever an illustration i do that you want the breakdown of what pencils I used if I can remember which one it was I am happy to share!
hi! These are the main brushes that I use (all default brushes from procreate that I tweaked a little in the setting). Usually I just use syrup for lineart, coloring and shading, but i would switch up between inka, tinderbox, and eaglehawk if I’m feeling brave
What type of brushes do you use for colouring in and inking ect, and do you have any tips for how to colour?
a lot of the brushes i use are default procreate brushes!
they depend on any given situation and how i want to style my art.
studio pen is modified to a version that mimics ROTTMNT's pen. and i like using the round pen for my default sketching/casual lineart drawings because it's such an easy pen to use. i have different versions of it where i have different sizes saved up.
if i want a more sketchy line art, i use either eaglehawk or gloaming with the opacity slightly down to give the lines a more pencil-y look. i like it when my art looks imperfect and sketch :D
meanwhile these are the brushes i use for backgrounds/coloring/lineless art. i lean more into a painterly style, reminiscent of a children's book but with my own spin.
and finally, this is the principle i use for coloring. i also mess around with filters a lot but these can still apply even then. i posted this to patreon months ago but since i'm closing it down (until i get a greencard), here it is for everyone to see~
please do note that even if you use my brushes, techniques, or program, my style will never be the same as yours and i mean that in the most gentle way possible. don't mimic my artstyle. you can draw inspiration from mine or other artists, learn techniques and study their art. but it should always be for the goal of finding your own voice and feel.
these tools and techniques are a mixture of things i learned and things i adjusted for myself over the years. a lot of times, you will find another artist's techniques to be such an inconvenience for you and that's okay. it's because you're not using your own voice. use your style/color palette/technique and use it your own way~
left: My favorite pen type brush for sketching/inking are the emilyamiao procreate brushes. they have a bit of texture and a nice flow so theyre great for stabbing out ideas. wet inky is a bit flat in shape and its better for inking imo.
right: painting brush used here is the default procreate brush eaglehawk, under the drawing section, and the lineart brush is fountain pen ❤️ (quote unquote) from I believe jingsketched's brush set??? the variation in line weight is nice but its a little what i would call "gritty" so it doesn't flow as well.
recently also very based and syruppilled. another procreate default brush under inking! lots of line variation, a triangular-ish shape, and no anti-aliasing. also good for painting LOL
left: 6b pencil (procreate default brush, under sketching) is great for sketching/lining depending on the feel and if you tilt ur pen to the side it makes a nice big grainy smudge which I like to use to indicate form shadow sometimes. i also made a modified version (see above) with the count turned way up and the scatter turned down iirc. if i remember later ill reblog with a brushpack file or something XD
right: vine charcoal 3 and 4 from kyles dry media set in photoshop. 3 is kinda blotchier and i mostly rlly use it for effect. 4 is this kind of soft triangular/rhomboidal brush that i use for quick sketches sometimes
TBHH it depends a lot on the style/feel of the drawing im going for/just the general mood so there's a few drawings where I probably just whipped something out of a random brushpack LMFAO but I tend to prefer flowier/harder brushes with a bit of size variation/jitter and an imperfectly round shape! ymmv.
I only post fluff here and add twt links when I have smut, so mainly sfw 😎

FAQ
I don’t take requests/commissions. My doods are for reader(viewer?) insert.
The brush I use for colouring is Eaglehawk from Procreate’s default brush set. I don’t remember where I got my outline brush but any soft round brush should work about the same.
If my lines are stiffer than usual it’s because my wrist hurts.
(don’t chat with me pls.)
If u commented/reblogged with comments, know that you’ve brought me joy and motivation to doodle more. 🥹💕
if you dont mind me asking, what procreate brushes do you use?
answered [here] & since i haven't changed my brushes since then i'll just capy and paste it:
i do change my brushes a lot from piece to piece so i’ll try to do a quick like #mostused on here. if you want to know what i use for a piece in particular hmu i can prolly try to reverse-engineer/rember.
SKETCHING:
almost exclusively use default Sketching -> Narinder pencil brush. sometimes Sketching -> HB pencil.
LINING:
depending on the #vibes i’m going for, i have my toolbox of
Organic -> Hemp [Procreate defaults] (used this one for my latest Herb Brides drawing]
Inking -> Dry Ink [Procreate defaults]
Drawing -> Eaglehawk [Procreate defaults]
Drawing -> Gloaming
Jingsketch Basis -> Think Ink [free/pay what you want]
Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Oil on Paper [free/pay what you want] but tinkered with to be thicker
Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Chalk, But You Line With It [free/pay what you want]
RENDERING/PAINTING:
Jingsketch Basis -> Flat Square (& a Lot of color-picking)
Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Oil on Paper
Dawner’s Brush Pack Vol. 1 -> Dirty Oil
sometimes when i feel silly i’ll slap flat colors & then render with Sketching -> Narinder pencil (wristache-inducing)
Hi! Sorry if you've been asked this before, but what program/brushes do you use? Your art has this super cool painterly vibe I've been trying to capture for forever, but i can't seem to figure it out. If you're not comfy answering, that's totally cool too :)) I hope you're having the best day ever, your art is incredible!
hiiii Thank you so much, I use the default procreated brushes 'eaglehawk', 'Larapuna' and a brush i made which is kinda like medium-hard-airbrush with a taper!
i experiment a lot, in the latest piece with mirror i used MOORILLA (i draw in procreate) for colors, i use EAGLEHAWK a lot too
i love how digital can mimic traditional art so every pencil brush is my friend, use them for “linearts” (it is a bit weird for me to call them as such, when i see how some ppl do their SO DETALIC and thought-out, so lovely, mad respect, but i could never hah, i love when mine have sketchy feeling), CHALK or DRIED INK also is nice
that’s all i can think of for now, there are times i forget what i have used WHEEZE
for lines and render procreate pencil, and for colours eaglehawk- for shading i use select tool and blend with dry brush, all brushes are edited to have 0 stability 🫶
