Februdoodle 2024 #20: Costume

Martin · 66 days

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I thought it'd be sort of fun to contrast the costume with the costume wearer.

I'm not sure why this particular idea popped into my head, but I'm pleased with how the drawing turned out. I like creating clean illustrations like this!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for everything else.

Februdoodle 2024 #19: Building

Martin · 67 days

For today's Februdoodle illustration, I drew a building!

Originally, I planned on doing something like this, but a little more flat, from a side-view perspective. As I was sitting down to draw, I felt inspired and ended up doing it in perspective.

If I had to do it over again, I'd probably pull the vanishing points out a bit to make the higher angles a little less sharp, but overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially once I got to the color layers. I was spending a lot of time waiting for my computer to render things today, so it was nice to have the time to really dig into one of these illustrations, something I don't always get to do.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush and Soft air brush for texture/details.

Today's Februdoodle illustration is a caterpillar eating a leaf!

I'm not super happy with this one, but it started off as sort of an experiment, and hey, it's not a requirement that I like all of the pieces in this project. It will help me do better the next time I attempt something like this! 😎

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a modified version of the Mercury brush for linework, and the Tarraleah and Old Beach brushes for texture, with a small assist from the Soft air brush.

Februdoodle 2024 #17: Late!

Martin · 69 days

Today's Februdoodle illustration is of a woman looking at her watch and realizing she's super late!

I probably should have done something a little more dynamic with her right arm. I almost did, as you can see in the sketch, but ended up wanting it to flow more with the rest of her body on that side. I also struggled a bit with the background, which you will see in the back half of the video.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush and Soft air brush for background texture/flair.

Today's Februdoodle illustration comes with a couple of misfires at the beginning. I had sushi for lunch, so I wanted to draw something related to that, but the first and second sketches were just not what I wanted. I ended up drawing a sushi roll in an isometric view, but it took a long time to get there.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

I drew another scene from the neighborhood for today’s Februdoodle illustration! This project is now officially over halfway done!

This was one of those times where I really didn’t feel like drawing. But I found a good reference photo and forced myself to do it, and as always, I’m happy with how things turned out.

I’m still working on loosening up and trying not to get stuck on the geometry/perspective with drawings like this. It’s getting easier though, even if it’s not readily apparent in the work.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework and blocking things out, and a little bit of the Soft airbrush for added detail.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Inka brush for some fancy outlines, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture. I'm posting each finished illustration at my website.

I wanted to do something a little more focused for today's Februdoodle illustration - and I was looking for a chance to use the Inka brush again - so here's a "still life" of some tortilla chips! 🤤

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework and detailing, the Hartz brush for some quick chip texture, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

Today's Februdoodle illustration goes just a little psychedelic. Probably would've been better with a little more detail, but I kinda like the chunkiness of it. It almost seems cozy, even with the snow!

Today's Februdoodle illustration is a little basic, but I've got kind of a busy week ahead of me, so I didn't want to stay up super late working on something. I like making graphic images like this though, so I consider it a small success nonetheless.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft airbrush for some basic gradients.
