Thank you! :D Was the only pose I was able to settle on after MANY attempts LOL.

Vax

Thank you so much!! :D


Right, right. Mind your toes, we got a big package of art here.
I've had pretty major art block as of late. Like major. Not been great. We're working through it.

Some exciiiting news though, my sister gave me her old [very VERY smashed] ipad, so I've been trying that out! Taking it to get the screen repaired tomorrow and I'm waiting on a second hand pencil for it at the moment :D
An ipad will never replace my primary setup [Cintiq 22 + Photoshop] but I do like to draw on the go and the portability of an ipad is kinda unbeatable!

So, to start us off here's some doodles on the ipad :]

Here's #1. I did this with my finger so it's uh,, yeah. Also Apple does that thing where it hates pngs for some reason, ugh.


Here's a WIP using a knockoff pencil, so no pen pressure
Yes, this is a picture of the ipad I was too lazy to save. Fun fact, this is the least smashed bit. I've had several glass shards in my finger from this LOL.

annnd here's another piece with the same knockoff pencil :0 really trying to get a feel for Procreate again. Might put this one on the free to use avatar thread once I've made the credits a bit clearer :]

Nnnooow onto a whole tonne of WIPs for people who I owe art to LOL.







Annnd some designs, trying to work off the rust there too. Will sell these eventually, not sure what for.




Annd some lil animated chibis for some of my friends :] I do wanna do some more of these so I can collect all my bros in my bio.
Lowkey though,, I'm not sure if I like these ones. Might try a different pixel style? They're too uh,, noisy next to each other. Might make the animation less constant? We'll see!



Very variable art in this post LOL it's all mine, I swear.

The lines for the unsaved Apollo wip actually look really nice especially around the face and eyes :0

Also those pixel guys are SO CUTE omg i love em

Krampus

Thank you so much! :D Turns out Procreate did actually save it so I might complete it at some point LMAO.

And thank you aaa, pixels are always so fun to return to heh.

God forbid you suggest Apollo's husband leaves the house </3
Curly haired guy is Indriel, an old fave. He's a pretty important dude these days. promise it's not actually a multi-level marking scheme, needs a new design/ref though so we just have this sketch for now.
Apollo looks chronically exhausted but that's because he is

This is what happens when you switch art programs omg bahhaha

Absolutely lovely seeing some ET arts again I'm eating so well,,, that blue wolf is absolutely gorgeous what the hell

And HALO!!! You know I sprinted here when I saw you posted on TH <3 I support Apollo's rights and wrongs, I wouldn't let go of such a beautiful man either LMAO

that pixel helios is gorgeous.

Your husband (ecifer) needs be proud

Polar
Procreate is SO hard what the fuck. I'm struggling man </33 the ipad is putting me through my paces LMAOO I feel like I've forgotten how to draw omg.
And thank you, thank you qwq <33 I've kinda missed draeing LMAO
I also support Apollo's wrongs, more people should tbh. I think he's allowed to commit moral and ethical violations if he wants

Vax

Thank you!! :D


Okay, okay. Another art dump.
SO! An update, my iPad's screen is now fixed. Turns out the drop also damaged one of the internal components so the replacement cost me a sexy £260 in total. Ouch. Buuut I did also obtain a second hand Apple Pencil so I now have been blessed with pen pressure! :D
If anyone has tips and tricks for Procreate I'd love to hear them, this program has lowkey been putting me through my paces </33 It just feels hard to have control over my brush strokes. So slippery. I don't know.
Drawing on a glossy screen and on such a small one is a big change! Might look into getting one of those paperlike screen covers. We shall see,,,


ANYWAY!
Here's some doodles from before I had the apple pencil, these were done with a lil knockoff stylus :] Just trying to get a feel for the program and how it works,,

[A cow for my sister, upon her request.]

Here's some doodles from today, still learning brushes and how the pencil works,,, oh and palm rejection and various other settings.
Helios, of course.


Annnd some random portrait. Imported my Photoshop brushes over but they work so differently :[ will have to fiddle with the settings.
Eyes are diff sizes/too far apart but I'm too lazy to adjust.

Annnd another Indriel. This was done on my graphics tablet! :D
Indri's design is still gonna change a bit but y'know, problem for future me.



More rambles/thoughts, feel free to skip
At the moment it feels pretty uh,, difficult to finish things on the iPad/Procreate. Something about it just feels better suited to sketching. I do find my urge to doodle is a lot higher on the ipad though, which is nice! It's nice to just draw whatever rather than sitting down with something in mind to draw. Most of the things I draw these days have an intention in mind - it's an OC idea or classwork or something for a friend,, something intentional. I don't do much random doodling just to draw anymore and I don't think that's great. I do feel like the ipad lends itself to that kinda artwork more.

I'm still struggling to detail things and have any precision on the ipad but it's literally been less than a week of use, so I think that'll come with time. I got a lot to learn with it and it's SO nice to be able to sit in bed or in the living room and be able to draw. It's very nice to not be tied to my desk :]

Missing these notifications somehow???

all of them are such stunning pieces and I love the doodles :3

Also loving these doodles!!

The colouring and shading is so pretty and soft on the eyes, i love it so much. The cow is absolutely adorable and Helios with the plant is so cute too :]

Feeling blessed to see such yummy art

These are absolutely great OMG

Procreate uh. DEFINITELY has a learning curve. But when you find the right brushes it is so nice <3 I also found the glassy textureless screen a bit challenging first but I definitely got used to it at some point! Though I know many people also have the textured screen protector, I actually find that it's hard to find an iPad screen protector that doesn't massively impair its touch sensitivity to a point where it stops registering 30 percent of your normal finger touches </3

And I definitely agree, doodling on an iPad sitting wherever is so much nicer than having to be stationed somewhere!! :3 I always sit in bed when drawing LOL

Feel free to ask me any questions about any Procreate stuff if you're ever having troubles hehe
