@burvantill yes, I am using Apple Pencil on IPad Pro. I love it. I had tried other options before but nothing felt natural to me.

[burvantill]

@missmushy I tried a couple out at the Apple store the other day and I had to push hard to get them to respond. It made for a very unstable line. Do you find that you have to push down harder? In hindsight I was wondering if it was because they were not laying on a firm surface. They were propped up with the flimsy covers.

[MissMushy]

@burvantill no don’t have to push hard at all. Not sure why that might be. Unless the settings in store pencil were weird for some reason.

@burvantill I've been using an Apple pencil with my iPad Pro for over a year and find it very responsive. I did eventually get a screen protector that had some tooth to it in order to make it feel more like I'm drawing on paper instead of glass but that was only $10. I don't remember the brand now but there is a discussion about the best screen protectors emulating the feel of paper somewhere in the forum.

I miss sharing stuff on the forum...but at the moment all projects I'm working on are under wraps and I don't have time for personal stuff...Anyhow, this is a section of a spread I'm working on that I particularly like - sometimes I think that working under harsh deadline brings out my best work in that it limits my over-rendering tendencies...

[burvantill]

@smceccarelli Wow. I love those book shelves. The simplicity, yet so full. Wonderful.

[MissMushy]

@smceccarelli love the texture on the chair. How is this done? With a textured brush or?

[smceccarelli]

@missmushy No, it's just a normal digital pencil held by a patient hand
I like to work in digital as I would work traditionally - only with super-powers. I find too many shortcuts make the art look "plastic".

Spent the last few days messing around with Procreate’s brushes and blending modes/liquify thingy. Tossed away trying to draw first and just plonked down random abstract strokes and saw what things started to emerge out of the mess. Here are a few of those weird things:

Here's my latest illustration. Just finished this commission for a local family.

This is my Christmas mice collection. I'm trying to get twelve done before I paint them. I will probably split them into inside and outside groupings so I can use warm and cool pallets.

@missmushy
Oooo this is a great exploration

[MissMushy]

@kaitlinmakes thanks! It was a lot of fun

[chrisaakins]

Finished my last commission. Can't share on Instagram yet.
This was an experiment. It was all done with watercolor graphite. Looks like pencil but goes on like watercolor. So. Much. Fun.

Tryin' to pump out a drawing to get to 50 kids.

Apparently zero G dodgeball mostly involves trying not to lynch your teammates with your tether

@missmushy I love that rabbit and THOSE EYES

[MissMushy]

@burvantill thanks! I think the rabbit is my fav too - might try to develop other characters in the same style and see if I can do it on purpose this time lol

I haven't drawn much on my Surfacebook2 since Inktober. A new teaching job kinda got in the way. Picking it back up was very difficult! I had to warm up a lot, which was frustrating. I also looked back at my old drawings and was super unimpressed. Time to get back into it and level up! This drawing didn't turn out how I wanted, it's from my idea for a kids book about a monster in the closet.
