Illustrative Oil Painting Effect in Procreate

In creating this lovely winter scene illustration, I propose two challenges to you which we then will be tackling together. The goal is to make this deer in the snowy woods look like an illustration that could be used in a children’s book, magazine, or something of that kind.

Challenge 1: Make the illustration lifelike, yet not ultrarealistic.

Challenge 2: Do so using the provided Oil Paint Brushes and only tapping into the basic essentials of Procreate.

So, we’ll leave all the amazing Procreate tricks behind and try to actually simulate oil painting on our digital devices as if we were using canvas or paper.

Sounds hard, making a semirealistic illustration with oil painting in Procreate? Well, come and experience for yourself how much fun this can be. Be amazed at the illustration you will see evolve at the tip of your pen.
