And if you aren’t comfortable with working straight from the color picker, a palette is a huge help.Procreate comes with over 200 awesome brushes to use for all different drawing techniques but there are so many more options available online. There probably aren’t any premade palettes for Procreate that are Sanrio inspired, but you can make your own and you’ll learn more from doing it. They’ve got a very distinct look and approach. Just if you’re starting from a stock brush, make sure you make a copy of it to save your changes against future updates.Ī lot of Sanrio’s look relies on their color sense. You can turn streamline off and on however much you want on your brushes. If you want something a little different, the airbrushes are gonna be a good place to start. The fineliner under inking is a nice base brush for sketching, and it’s easy to adjust it for larger sizes. The very smooth look just involves picking brushes that aren’t heavily textured. These days, who knows? No matter how you start, finished pieces will take a sketch, a pass or two for ink if you’re using it, a pass or two for color, and then a lot of finicky refinement. Watercolor/gouache, pencil, charcoal, maybe a brush pen or fountain pen or Micron pen.įinished pieces like you like probably started out as gouache, maybe with ink before art on a computer was practical. Because you’re doing lots and it’s wasn’t practical to cart a computer around with you use paper and a medium that’s as cheap as you can stand.

Draw lots of rough sketches from life, both in a more formal life drawing class and in more casual urban sketching. There’s literally thousands of artists and art styles under the umbrella of cartoony. I’m using cartoon to cover animated stuff and comic books/manga and stuff like newspaper comics/webcomics. I don’t know any of their artists offhand but it’s a common Japanese cartoony style. That’s very much inspired by Sanrio stuff.
