This tutorial for me was a fun journey of discovery, as I have recently embraced Procreate as my go-to finishing and painting application, replacing a lot of desktop editing. In my personal work I have learned to value the power of the cloud and Adobe’s cloud libraries. As someone
who loves building and prepping their own stock elements for artwork, I’ve developed this tutorial to work on Photoshop on desktop as well as straight from the iPad, before finalising the artwork in Procreate.
You can eitherabstract portrait using the same techniques without the use of the desktop application if you wish. I love discovering new ways to work and that I can now sit on the couch and ‘sketch’ beside my family, creating work at the same capacity as if I was devoted to the desk. The portability of my personal library and workflow has levelled up!
