I watched the Photoshop texture video by Lee White and it was super helpful, just wondering if anyone can tell me how to do step 2 in procreate? It's when he imports the scanned texture and paints it on with a mask, do I just have to make it into a brush?

@xin-li I love this so much! P.s you can scan in overlapping sections on a letter size scanner and stitch together in photoshop

@xin-li I do this but I feed the paper through the manual feed at the back so it doesn't have to get picked up by the roller

@xin-li ooh awesome I'll check out those artists thanks! I'm really hoping to figure out the digital watercolour, I'm struggling to keep the freshness that traditional has, good luck playing around with it, it's a lot of fun!
P.s I looove your cloudy dragons

@Heather-Boyd ooh that would be great, I actually haven't done any master studies before, but I want to!
I actually find it so interesting that a lot of the pieces in the dream folio uses more muted colours and browns(although the John Baur work I just love the feel/style/subject matter not so much the brown) because I always thought I like right colours and most of my own work is more saturated, so that was a revelation! You're definitely right about the subject matter and framing, I think for me now I just want to try and nail that particular look I love, almost vintage watercolour style

@RG-Spaulding I love the same kind of dreamy, magical images! Do you know the artist that did the piece with the boat and tiger?

@jdubz I really like both! I think the second one is a stronger piece technically, but I really like the feeling of the first piece

@jdubz this looks great thankyou!

I’ve been seeing everyone doing this so I finally did it too, and wow I can definitely say it has been hugely eye opening! I feel like I’m never happy with my illustrations and comparing them to my dream portfolio I’m not surprised-they are nothing alike!

I would really love some help in analysing my dream portfolio as I find it hard to find similarities besides the very basic things. I know that I love watery watercolours and inky outlines that are not too obvious, with background colours that blend into each other. One of my biggest goals is to replicate this digitally. I also seem to like limited colour palette, with stylised design but detail in the line work, and I love interesting light.

I would really love any input including analysing dream portfolio, tips to achieve what I like and suggestions of other artists to check out

@nkdrawings I love these! These are all very similar to the pieces from my dream portfolio, specifically the inky outlines and blotchy watercolour, my goal is to replicate as closely as possible digitally
