what software are you using? i love what you are doing.

Hi Trey, it's called Procreate and it's on the iPad.

marriedtoamedium.bsky.social•28 days ago

ty. im familiar. a book i just did layout and design for had illustrations done in procreate by the artist. has become very popular w digital artists. too bad they dont have a pc version.

Yeah, I'm not an Apple cult member, but had to take the plunge and buy an iPad just to get Procreate. It's really good, though.

the ability to create the irridescent shading on your art is spectacular.

martynwarren.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thanks - it's lots of layers of the '6b pencil' brush.

I figure! 😮

martynwarren.bsky.social•28 days ago

Lucas, great to see you over here. I'm a big fan of your drawings.

lucaskias.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thanks Martyn! I'm also a big fan of yours ☺️

I can't figure out if you're a genius or a masochist... 😁😍

There's a third option: Idiot.

Nope. Not valid. You rock! 🤘

Bugs on the other hand LOVE their metallic or super fluffy textures that are hell to draw.

martynwarren.bsky.social•28 days ago

They sure do.

martynwarren.bsky.social•17 days ago

This *may* have been a terrible idea. According to Procreate, I've made 32,877 strokes so far.

already… splendid

martynwarren.bsky.social•17 days ago

Thanks - I'm confident it'll look good when it's done.

It's now been 9 1/2 hours.

It's looking very metallic. Well worth the effort, from someone on the outside looking in....

Thanks Lizzie!
