How I Draw

Carrot Spears.  Unedited process movie, Procreate, Apple Pencil,iPadPro

This drawing is made to look like colored pencil despite being digital.  My technical is somewhat old school as I don't really block out shapes of colors first like many digital artists.  The sketch began with a hand drawn, scanned in sketch.  I still have a number of these to work on before I do a drawing start to finish on the iPad.

This was drawn on my iPad with an Apple Pencil in Procreate.  My attempt was to mimic my colored pencil style digitally.  I have to say, I love the feel of the Apple Pencil.  I have gotten used to drawing on glass and don't use a sheet cover.  

Some illustrators use a sheet cover to give the surface a smoother feel so their palm slides along smoothly as they use quick strokes, but I usually draw with slow deliberate strokes and need a bit of tackiness.  Anyway, I am fine with the feel of the plastic on glass.  

The one thing that would be difficult to draw traditionally by pencil on paper would be the reflecting glint marks on the glass domes.  I would have to plan that out in the beginning and leave the area white, where as digitally I can add it over the top of the area I colored.
