Rustic Farmhouse Cow using Rustic Farmhouse Procreate Brushes

1. Intro: Have you heard the news? Skillshare has a new feature with the offer digital assets available to purchase, just like my rustic farmhouse Procrit bundle set. Here are some of the cool brushes that are included. I created these rustic grungy looks using this very set, and I'd love to show you how to use this set by creating this farmhouse cow. To save some time, I've supplied a Procrit texture sketch file, as well as a color palette. No worries if you don't have this rustic farmhouse Procrit set. I'll give you alternative brushes that you can use that's already installed in Procreate. To create this, you'll need the Procreate app, an iPad, and an Apple pencil. So if you're ready, let's get started. 2. Farmhouse Cow: I also want to mention that if you have a time, you're welcome to sketch your own farmhouse cow that you can use in place of my sketch. Because this class is a short quick tutorial, I wanted to give you the option to get started right away to learn how to color this farmhouse cow. I do want to make note that as we go along, I would love to see your finished project in the projects and resource section of this class. Make sure you download the supplied file. I'm going to be using this color palette that I supplied. You can open it under cards. I do have these colors in numerical order.

This is just a layer that you can double check. The colors that you used in your illustration vary in tone, which then allows you to add some more highlights, shadows or even change the color if necessary. 3.
