Thank you for your great videos. What I love the most is how much trouble you take to provide options for those who may not be using procreate or those not using the brush set you’re selling by giving us suggestions from the procreate brushes or other similar brushes rather than trying to sell us your items. Thank you for that! ❤ I’ve been looking for tutorials that use the procreate brushes since I’ve a beginner and your videos are the best I’ve come across so far 😊❤

I recently came across your videos and was impressed by the way you effectively teach in digital art. Since then, I've tried some of your tutorials and it came out very well better than I thought. Although I don't use Procreate, it has taught me how to further my exploration of digital art. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial, wish for more cute and beautiful tutorials in the future ✨✨✨

so cute! will definitely try this!

hello! can you make a tutorial video about rgb and cmyk? i am new to illustration. they say cmyk is for printing. i am trying to finish a graphic novel that i will send to a publisher. i am using procreate on ipad pro. i have read somewhere that cmyk in procreate is not really cmyk. i dont want to ruin my work😢 i dont have photoshop on my laptop so i just use procreate. i use the cmyk generic on procreate because im not sure which type of printer publishers use. btw, i've brought some of your brushes and they're my faves! i hope you can make more brushes for nature. thank you!

I stumbled upon your channel around 2 years ago & I feel like you were brought in my life for a reason 🤩 Your videos brighten up my day & have become part of my routine ❤

I played it safe using the same colors you did, but I liked the encouragement to add whatever I wished to the piece and make it my own in the details. Loved the tutorial, thank you!

I'm using the colors you provided, mainly so it's one less thing to think about while drawing. I love your tutorials!

[harleyfaulkner]

These are always so appreciated - I get so lost when it comes to making finished art. Thank you for these!! (P.S. - purple cap squad!)

My shroom friend's cap is green! This is adorable, I'm in love!

Another fun drawing to follow along with. The Cap Color I used is a kind of burnt orange. Love it! Thanks again.
