☼ Hello all! Welcome to my drawing process! It may have a lot of steps, but I hope it helps you! ☼ Please remix with your art!! I’d love to see them!! <3 ☼ IBIS PAINTX is a free mobile digital art program that can be found on the App Store! A lot of the brushes I use here are free! ☼ NOTE: this tutorial isn’t how to draw in “my art style” but to help you get the general points on how to ENHANCE your art skills!! Practice makes satisfaction! ☼ The characters here are Littlepaw (left) and Redpaw (right) from my new animated series Counting Pebbles! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/873765257/ ☼ STEPS: ☼ 1. simple sketch 2. this is the sketch brush I use 3. a more detailed sketch 4. turn the opacity down, but not so much so that you can see it! 5. Line art goes one layer OVER the sketch layer, then hide/delete your sketch once you have lines done 6. this is my lineart brush 7. and this is my coloring brush 8. I color the whole thing in by hand and not with the bucket tool because the brush has some bumps and such so if I use bucket it will have MANY little white spots, that we don’t want. 9.
