Hi guys, and welcome to a new video!
Today we're going to talk about digital illustration, and that's why I'm not in the picture
Because I'm going to show you how I make my illustrations when I'm working on my computer
I have gotten so much questions about this subject, so I thought it would be nice to
answer some of them while I'm making this illustration
This is an illustration of myself
I really wanted an illustration of myself to use for my social media
But I couldn't find the time to do it, so I thought I'd combine it with a video
As you can see, I already started
and with these questions I'm going to answer in this video I'm going to
explain what I'm doing
And if you have any questions, you can always ask me in the comments down below!
So, let's begin with the first question:
What brushes do you use and what are your favorites?
I made a folder of my favorite brushes for myself
as you can see in the video
You can see what brushes I specifically use and what they're called, but I'm going to talk about what brush packages I like most
and what brushes I purchased myself
Because I bought all of the brushes I use in this video
But; most of them are free to download at the moment
I'll tell you more about that later on
Most of my brushes are from Kyle T. Webster - A man who makes FANTASTIC brushes
Really, the best you can get, if you ask me -
I bought the Gouache Set from him
And that's because in my digital illustrations
I try to get that handmade effect
So I like a lot of texture, just so that it looks very handmade
And there's no particular reason, it's just because I really like how it looks
and it gives your work your own touch
And, Kyle T. Webster's brushes are free to download at the moment
Because his brushes are so good, Photoshop decided to buy them all
So he's collaborating with Photoshop right now and to celebrate that - I think that's the reason, at least -
you can download all of his brush packs for free!
So, if you have Photoshop and you're thinking 'Wow, the brushes Silvana is using are really amazing'
Because that's what they are, believe me
go ahead and download them, I put the link in the description
And yeah, have fun with them!
I also bought a brush pack called 'Space Ranger'?
I don't exactly know what the maker is called, but
but I'll also put a link in the description
And I bought these because again, they are very nicely textured
and they're great for creating rough edges!
As you can see, I don't work very neatly - I pretty much scribble around
And I really like the effect it creates
So those are my favorite brushes!
Again, if you want to know what brushes I use exactly - it's literally in the video
You can always search for them when you've downloaded the brushes
What are your favorite brushes? I'd really like to know, because
I'm always on the hunt!
So please let me know down below
Let's get on with question #2:
What kind of software do you use?
As you probably know by now, I use Photoshop (Latest version by the way)
And I've been using this for as long as I can remember
My dad had a version of Photoshop somewhere around 2005 I believe
And it was on my computer
So I started messing around with it
and since then, I never stopped using it!
So for as long as I can remember, I have used Photoshop
And I can imagine you're thinking 'I can never afford this, it's way too expensive'
(You could get it through other ways but I don't recommend it)
But yeah, that's what I use to make my illustrations and I like it the best
It looks really complicated to work with,
and it is, but I know for a fact that if
you follow some tutorials on the things you want to know
you'll learn it in no time, since the basics are really simple
And it's just really nice software to work with!
The next question is:
How do you create texture in your digital illustrations?
I just told you a bit about this,
I create all of my texture with my brushes
I make sure I use brushes that
are based on physical techniques like
my gouache brushes I use
But the brush pack also offers pencils, you name it; everything's there!
And yeah, I started trying everything out and that's how I selected a few of my favorites
And that's what I create my textures with
Another thing I like to do, is - like the background right now, it's dark green
pretty flat compared to the illustration, so what I like to do
(I use a brush for this but you can also Google some textures you like)
I pick a 'dusty brush' which creates a kind of vintage effect
I don't really know how to explain it but you can see it for yourself
It gives the illustration some depth, and again; texture, and I really like that!
It makes the illustration more interesting and it looks less flat, if you ask me
The next question is: What kind of drawing tablet do you use?
And I can tell you it's nothing fancy,
It's just a tablet from Wacom, mine is called 'BAMBOO'
And it's reaaally old, I think it's
- I can't really tell but I think it's around eight years old?
It's not the best of the best, but really, you can work anything
if you're up for it and really take the time to practice with it
I never had any issues using this tablet, it's fairly small but
I really like that, since it's super portable that way]
Well, like I said, it's nothing fancy - it comes with a pen, and that's it!
And lastly, this question:
What do you prefer and why?
Personally, I like illustrating digitally the most
and that's purely because there are so many options, you can correct your mistakes so much more quickly,
and you can experiment without having to start over again and again
And that may sound very cliché, but]
that's why I like it so much, really!
I also really like working traditionally, but
I tend to do that only to sketch, and test out materials
And sometimes I combine the two, that's also possible!
But my preference goes out to working digitally
Well guys, that was it for this week!
I hope you enjoyed watching me draw,

Because I can absolutely do a part 2 of this, since I have so many questions left
