FAQs

What tools do you use for digital art?

I use a 2018 12.9 inch generation 3 iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil generation 2. I also use a 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro and sometimes I use my old Wacom Intuos tablet.

What size paper is your go to?

In Procreate I use an A4 size (2480px x 3508px) at 300 DPI, CMYK (generic) for printing or sRGB v4 Appearance for just uploading to social media.

What art program do you use?

I mainly use Procreate. It’s simple and easy to use and has most of the features Photoshop has. I do also use Clip Studio Paint on the Mac as well as Lightroom, Illustrator and photoshop. I use iMovie to edit videos. I do sometimes use After Effects (I have the whole Creative Cloud Suite).

References?

Depending on what I am drawing there might be references. I use multiple references at once (or inspiration) to see lighting, color, and positioning of the body. Most of the references I use can be found on my Pinterest in different boards, so if I don’t mention or tag something in a post by mistake just know I have these boards with all of the references I use https://www.pinterest.com/creativelymaree/

What brushes do you use in Procreate?

I actually make my own brushes now that I understand how to make them in procreate a little more. I made my own pencil, ink, marker and paint brush, as well as some texture brushes to get different paper looks. I’ll also use the Haze Long glitter brushes sometimes because they are just pretty.

What can I look forward to with your Patreon, YouTube and Twitch channel?

I have a lot of ideas and fun interactive things to do on YouTube, including tutorials and a whole lot more fun and creative things. When it comes to Twitch I will be streaming video games as well as hosting virtual paint/ draw with me nights. And for Patreon I want to start doing a sticker club but that might not come until late 2023.
