Faux Embroidery in Procreate

September 20, 2021September 20, 2021 Genevieve

I recently got the WhipStitch Craft Kit for Procreate by Abbie Nurse (Uproot Brushes). It’s a very impressive collection of brushes including fabric textures, buttons, stitches, and much more. You can see the kit here (affiliate link).

The first thing I did was to play with the brushes, and I created this sampler. And yes, there are googly eyes! I love the attention to detail in all the brushes.

The next logical step was for me to apply the techniques to some of my Quirky Portraits. Here are two versions of Bailey the dog, and Elsa the cow.

Some New Portraits

June 20, 2021June 20, 2021 Genevieve

Here are a few of my latest portraits.
Meet Layla, Gwendolyn, Georgette, and Adèle.

Speaking of portraits, I just got some new business cards from Moo. I love the square cards, and the matte finish. You can get a different image on each card, which is great for artists of all kinds; the one on the bottom is the other side which is the same on all cards.
