This is my twenty-second illustration for June Toons: a potted cactus!
I really struggled to get started with this one, and I can feel myself running out of gas, creatively. It's been a long week in my personal life, so my time for drawing has been extremely limited, and I feel like that's catching up to me. Thankfully, I will have more time after today, and I hope I can finish out this project with a bang.
As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for everything else. If you watch the time-lapse, you'll see that I experimented with the Soft air brush a bit for some gradients, but ultimately abandoned that idea towards the end.
