Block Print Brushes & Patchwork in Procreate

Hi Helen, Love both your motifs, paisley and flower butti. Also addidng your own elemnets is such a great way to work on any project.  So glad you enjoyed the class and honestly, those little mistakes are part of the process, especially when you’re experimenting with brush creation! If your brush settings are disappearing, it could be because the brush isn’t being duplicated before editing or Procreate isn’t registering the changes properly, so definitely try duplicating your brush before making adjustments and tapping “Done” to save everything. Creating an animal shape with this technique is such a fun next step! I’d suggest starting simple, pick an animal with a clear silhouette (like a fish, bird, or butterfly). First, sketch the basic shape, then use your stitch or brush strokes to fill it in section by section, almost like you’re “building” the form with your brush. You can even break the animal into smaller shapes to make it easier.

I enjoyed this class even though I made a few mistakes and my brush settings kept disappearing. Definitely want to make more brushes like these. Now I have to figure out how to create an animal shape with this. Not quite sure how to do this.
