Perfectionism is really the killer of creativity. Don't know how many times I must learn that lesson, but glad I'm healing again 😭

haló there friends!! in my spare time I've been making custom brushes for procreate - this pack includes 4 custom messy brushes and 12 texture assets which are all free to download and play with!! you can find them over on my Gumroad storefront - linked below/in my bio ༘⋆

Product cover that says "Matts Messy Brush Pack, includes 4 messy custom brushes for procreate + 12 texture asset files" accompanied by a messy textured line background in dark grey/black with a long mushroom character illustration using these my digital brushes to accompany the dark background, the link to download and play with these brushes for free can be found in this thread or via the link in my bio :)) #procreate #procreatebrushes #digitalbushes #brushes #digitalart #artassets #arttools #drawing #illustration

a simple example of these brushes in action - 3 different mushroom characters drawn loosely using all of the included brushes in this messy brush pack! there's a lot of textural grit and noise as the grain of the brushes are experimental texture assets applied to the brush stamps - technical art stuff that's less exciting but all of their designs make for really fun analog mimicry and has a traditional feel :)

this image says:

"Texture Assets - using these custom messy brushes I've generated some messy texture asset files that can be used to add some natural *grit* to your work - clip mask these files to simple fill layers, mess around with layer filters, opacity and adjustment layers to incorporate subtle texture into your artworks.

I've been creating and using my own texture assets for the past few years, most of my artistic practice is focused on experimenting and being playful - creating my own tools makes it easier for me to make art, it's generally good practice.

there's an example of how these texture assets can add some subtle detail in the next photo!"

there are some expressive and abstract textures that emulate physical mediums like ink, watercolor, pencil and some digital printing techniques like halftones that can be applied as filters over simple digital art layers to add more textural interest, this image includes 3 more simple examples of mushroom characters incorporating some of my textures!!

simple example showing my methodical process, of inserting texture assets to my artwork:

"insert texture asset > clipping mask it to a solid base fill layer > play with the layer filters and opacity"

you can see a small character that has some grunge and grit throughout their design, all applied in a few clicks and feels as though I've painted texture intentionally by hand - is it lazy? maybe but I made these textures so I'm happy with the results haha

it's important for anyone, but especially artists to be very vocal, loud, and proud about their stances on human rights/politics. Our work reaches communities, what we create, share & show makes a difference. Art cannot be separated from humanity. Keep making things that showcase the world you want
