I’ve got a ‘peek into my process’ style video for you this week! When I made the Calendar Kit, it was the first time I developed a brush set using both Illustrator and Procreate together. It was *such* an easier process than just using Procreate, especially for a set like this that required precision. Since the process worked so well, I wanted to share it this week in case you’re facing a similar scenario or if you’d like to see how you can use them together in more detail.

TECH STUFF + ACCESSORIES I USE

✨ This artwork was created on a 5th gen iPad Pro (12.9”, 256GB) with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil using the Procreate app
✨I recommend any iPad listed here for working in Procreate: every-tuesday.com/ipads as they all allow for pressure sensitivity. I only recommend an Apple Pencil because of its reliability compared to other 3rd party styluses
✨ I use the Paperlike screen protector along with their pencil grips: every-tuesday.com/paperlike
