An illustration of a man looking down to the left, at an un-pictured monitor, drawn in comic book style. The man has a light complexion, hazel eyes, and brown hair. He has a mustache and beard, and is wearing a blue collared shirt. A bright light is illuminating the front of the man's face. The drawing is shaded flat, and given some dimension with halftone patterns. The background is an orange-red cut in the middle with a mustard yellow on top.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a man working on an (off canvas) computer, drawn in a comic book style.

I picked up some new brushes and textures for Procreate yesterday, and thought I'd try them out for today's Drawrch!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for some color fills. Additionally, I used brushes from True Grit Texture Supply, including the Smooth Natural Nib for linework, the Grainy Dot Shader (45 deg/light) for shading, and the Halftone Stamp 7 for background texture.

The pen I used wasn't overall too different from one of my go-to brushes, the Syrup brush, but I like the softer edge and small amount of noise that it adds. It's a little pressure sensitive for me, but it didn't take too long to get used to.

The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.

You can find the brushes and textures used at True Grit Texture Supply.

Finally, if you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
