I remember the frustration I felt when I was first learning Procreate. I wanted to capture the watercolor and coloured pencils look that I had with traditional medium and had no idea how to do it. I searched Youtube for Procreate watercolor tutorials and followed along. After doing dozens of these tutorials I started to notice themes with techniques and brushes. If you haven't already done this, you may find it helps.

Nowadays, I do all my drawing (and some color blocking) in Procreate and then take it into Rebelle for the watercoloring. It's an amazing program (with another big learning curve) if you ever want to check it out. I then finish it in Photoshop or Procreate for final details.

@Georgios-Christopoulos I think it works as an image ok if the client liked it, but the printed quality depends on the quality and resolution of the photo you took and the resolution and lack of artifacts of the final product after you cropped, edited and saved it. To check this, you should verify in the editing program the dimension in pixels and what phisical size a 300 dpi print would be, also look at it on screen at 100% to notice artifacts. Or, of course, you can just make a print at a size you think right and see how it comes out 🙂

@Abigail-Hookham lovely

I submitted my final illustration. I drew a new doorknob and decided to do a spot illustration to avoid the door interfering with value/composition.

@hermidraws Thats interesting I will take a look, thanks.

@Leontine Thanks! Yeah the highlights on the tree ended up a little too minty for me as well.

I'll go watch some of Proko's videos! Thank you for the suggestions!
