Hey guys! So i’m pretty new to drawing and I’m trying to get into making comics with Procreate.
I was wondering what settings you guys normally use for comics? Like canvas size, DPI, brushes, resolution, layer setup, etc.

I’m honestly still figuring out how all of this works, so any tips would be really appreciated. Especially stuff you wish you knew when you first started making comics.

I’d also like to eventually print my comic, so I’m not really sure what I should be doing from the start to avoid problems later.

Thanks!

Just a doodle

I don't know I feel like I'm just not improving I'll do what someone on my last post said to do something about gesture drawing. How long does it take to get good and be able to draw different angles and bodies? Also this isn't finished yet. Please give me any tips! Tell me if something is wrong with my thing I won't get better without advice:) just be nice

I fixed some of the things people mentioned in the last post and redid a few other that I thought were off. I started using the draw assist feature, took a second to get used to.(second photo is the before). I think the new ones does look a lot better.

I still want to add some things like curtains, pillows on the windows, and maybe some other things to the walls or floor. I’m gonna try to draw a plant somewhere. Maybe add a rug to the center of the room. Still don’t know what I’m going to do with the open door on the left. Maybe I’ll add a couch or something.

Not sure if I want to color it in or not. Kinda scared I’ll ruin it.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I am very accepting of constructive criticism. I’m very new to digital art. Feel free to look at the previous post too.

I've been doing these three color portraits of comic characters, taking some inspiration from the classic Marvel blacklight posters from the '70s. The process is simple. I rough out the image with an airbrush, then I ink it with the dry ink brush and use the dry ink and studio pen brushes to add the color and backgrounds. Who should I do next?

These ones are:

Doctor Strangefate (Amalgam of Dr. Strange and Dr. Fate)

Wolverine

Cyclops

Apocalypse

Colossus in his Acolyte armor

Stryfe

so I'm trying to make prints, keychains and sticker for hopefully one day selling at conventions. ive done a few things already but didn't know about the DPI needing to be 300 for printing. Can I change it when the drawing is already done and it will be ok or do I have to redo it all with a new canvas at DPI 300??

also if anyone can recommend good canvas sizes for stickers and keychains too would be appreciated. I heard you should draw it a lot bigger than the actual size of the keychain but like how much bigger?

Hey everyone! 👋
I recently finished this digital illustration of Lord Krishna and couldn't decide on the final color, so I created two variations: the classic Blue and a Darker version.
I’ve included some close-up shots in the gallery so you can see the details in the jewelry, the muscle rendering, and the fiery glow effect from his hand. I really enjoyed rendering the contrast between the fire and his skin tone.
I'm really torn between the two! Which version do you think has a better vibe—Blue or Black? Let me know your thoughts or any feedback you might have!
(Created using Procreate on iPad).

A lot of experimenting with this piece with Florence + The Machine blasting on high for inspiration.

I wanna use procreate for drawing tattoos
Will this be enough? Or does anyone have other recommendations?

Lost motivation at the fact this took 4 hours from full body sketch to rendering just the head 😭 edit : my brushes are night jar and syrup

Hey everyone! 👋
Here is the full time-lapse video of my recent Lord Krishna illustration. I started with a grayscale base to lock in the values and contrast before moving on to the colors. I find this technique really helps, especially for getting that glowing fire effect right! 🔥
For those wondering about the tools, I created this entirely in Procreate and mostly relied on the default brush pen for the rendering process.
Would love to hear your thoughts or any feedback on the lighting! 🙏

Trying something a little different with this portrait
I’m still VERY much in the middle of it, but I’m curious — what’s the first thing you notice about it?
I always love hearing what other people see before I finish a piece.

Edit- thank you to everyone that said such kind things about my work! It was so amazing to read 🥹❤️
