Today's Drawrch illustration is of a woman looking downward and laughing.

It took me a long time to get the sketch right on this one, because this is a funny angle to draw for me. I was also planning on making the singular color blue up until the very end, then decided it looked too Smurfy, and opting for something warmer. 😎

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

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a man in sunglasses looking down at his cell phone.

I don't know why, but I was feeling a bit off with this one. I started out drawing the man's ear for some reason, and it took me a while to get my bearings right. After I finished the sketch, I decided to change things up a bit and use some weird colors. It's a little brighter than I wanted it to be, but overall, I like it.

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 Soft air brush for the background gradient.

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

For today's Drawrch illustration, I thought I'd go without a reference and just do a cartoon, so here's a weird old man with a long face. 😆

I experimented a bit with distorting the face before drawing over the sketch. I think it helped accentuate the strangeness of it.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a woman laughing (hard!), done in a style where the highlights and shadows are drawn over a single background color. Inspired by a print of Kurt Vonnegut that I have hanging in my office.

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.

Here's today's Drawrch illustration - a woman with her head resting on her hand. That's two weeks of this project done already! 😀

I'm starting to get a bit tired of the chunky hashed shading I've been doing on some of these drawing… I feel like it's introducing a lot of texture where I don't really want it to. And giving me Van Gogh vibes that I'm not trying to inject. I'll probably move away from that a but for the second half of the month.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for just about everything else, and Soft air brush for a little bit of background shading.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of another person laughing, but this time from a slightly odd angle.

As was the case with Drawrch #11, it was a little difficult getting the sketch right for this one. I had to pay careful attention to the angles and not let my mind go on autopilot while drawing. In the end, I think I got it pretty close, though someday I'm going to have to go in and do a test to see just how close these get to the references. Not today, though! 😅

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for almost everything else, and the Soft air brush for a few gradients. I also added some noise to the background to push down the banding caused by my light usage of the air brush.

For today's Drawrch illustration, I tried my hand at more of a comic style. This perhaps wasn't the best (reference) picture for it, since the lighting wasn't that harsh and I had to force it a bit, but I like how it turned out. It was fun studying/trying something adjacent to the type of stuff I normally do!

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a man laughing and looking to the side.

I had a hard time getting the skin tone right, and he looked quite pale for a lot of the time I was working on it. I also had to go in and fix the teeth at the end because I got the scale of them very wrong at the start. They were massive! 😆
