I wanted to see if I could bring one of my cartoonish style characters to life using a realistic digital painting style. This was my first time ever trying something like this but overall I'm really happy with how it turned out. Let me know if you'd like to see more like this :)

FAQs

*What device am I using?*
I'm working on a 12.9" iPad Pro + Apple Pencil

*What app are you using?*
I use Procreate for both this illustration

*Are you wearing a glove? Why?*
I'm wearing an XP-Pen Artists Glove (http://a.co/4h2ooPK). This allows me to slide across the screen easier to get smoother lines.

*What's that orange thing on your pencil?*
It's a rubber pencil grip made for the apple pencil (http://a.co/9xJTy0Z). It makes it a little easier to hold so my hand doesn't cramp up after a while.

Hip Hop Beat Instrumental - Chapter 11 - Eldienne Productions
