A magician doesn't reveal their secrets. Fortunately, I'm not a magician. These are the wonderful tools that I use to get the job done.
Hover over the pictures to see where I bought them from.
While most of my creative work is done on my iPad, my Mac Mini handles the more "serious" work (e.g. sticker jobs, vector art, video editing, making this website, etc.). It almost never heats up and stays quiet no matter how many apps or Chrome tabs I have open. Some might find the 256gb storage to be limiting, but I never even got that far on my previous 1tb MacBook Air anyway.
THE digital art program for beginners imo. It's much easier to get into than other drawing programs and works wonderfully with the Apple Pencil. It can feel a little limited if you try to do things like animation and comics, but it is still amazing value for only $13. In fact, pretty much all of my books and stickers were made in Procreate!
Brushes I use:
- Oberon (base colors)
- Bardot Brush "Imperfect Patterns" brushset (texture)
- 6B Pencil (sketching)
- Monoline (sketch coloring & color filling)
I'm always happy to share my knowledge, so feel free to contact me if you want to know how I use each of these!
