Hii! ♥♥

How are you doing? This week, I have been working on new Procreate brushes that I will be releasing pretty soon! I have almost everything ready, but I still need to create the images, reels, and so on.

It’s going to be a bit different from my previous packs, but I really wanted to release something like this. I’ll let you know once it’s out! But here is a little sneak peek of the cover I'm working on.

Because of that, I haven’t been drawing at all this week, which is a bummer. But I do have some tips for you from the only drawing I did.

✿ Markers tips: fixing mistakes

Markers can be a bit difficult to work with since they are permanent, so if you use the wrong color, you can’t undo it. However, there are some fixes:

You can adjust the rest of the colors to suit the new one, so at least the palette remains cohesive.
You can layer another color on top to create a new color that’s closer to what you were aiming for. For example, if you wanted blue but accidentally used green, you can apply a pale blue on top to end up with a cute aquamarine, which is closer to the blue you intended.

You can try bleaching dark tones with lighter colors. This doesn’t always work and usually works best with mid-tones, darker ones are much harder to dilute. So, do a test on the side before committing.For example, imagine you colored one part orange when you meant to use yellow. There’s no way to undo it, but if you layer a light yellow on top, it might have a bleaching effect, making the orange lighter and discolored. This can help reduce the intensity of the tone.

That’s exactly what I did with Magikarp’s fins. I used a coral color on top of the yellow, which made them too similar to the body’s orange, and it didn’t look right. So, I used a light yellow and quickly painted over it. It didn’t make a huge difference, but the color wasn’t as dark as before.

✿ My Japanese learning journey

This week I won’t bother you that much with this, but I’m still pretty motivated, and I’m learning to let go of things that I don’t really understand that well. I’ll come back to them later, once I restart the book. Maybe once I have more knowledge, they’ll be easier. I don’t want to get frustrated and overwhelmed by some stupid grammar point. It’s not like I’m going to fail or anything, I’ll just go back to it later.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of days. Some days, I feel like I can’t remember a single new word, it just doesn’t stick. But a day later, it feels easier. Maybe I’ve slept better or something. The important thing is that it feels great to remind myself that it’s okay to let it go, even if just for a bit, it's not going anywhere.

✿ My online shop

I have a bunch of free brushes for Procreate, so if you need some new inspiration, feel free to get them! My favorite one, and actually the one I always use for sketching, is the Soft Sketch Brush! I tend to draw by making several strokes to create a line, so this super soft brush is perfect for it!
