Back in the day which is unbelievable because I am only 41, I enjoyed composing stippled ink styled illustrations. The upside to that style is that you can get amazing results that are rich, abstract and engaging. The downside, an incredibly long and slow process. Even worse, if you made a mistake or something that you thought was working now doesn’t (sometimes we see what we want to see), then all that time that you put in is gone. However, with the Procreate app, there is a function tool that simulates that style and it is both fantastic and super fast. The projects that one engages in can still be lengthy (depending on what yo are doing), however, it is not nearly as daunting.

Below are some illustrations that I first did using the procreate app (stippling tool). They are based off of ancient Greek mythology characters of Prometheus, The Cyclops and Medusa. (Right to left). Anyhow, these pieces were pretty successful, particularly the one of Prometheus. That would go on to be featured in several blogs/sites focused on Human Rights and Artistic Freedom. However, my favorite out of these was Medusa. Very classical, Mediterranean yet creepy.

Will be posting more of these (past, present and future) in coming blogs.
