Can u show the curser because it seems mine is often bigger by 50%.. Same iPad and canvas. just want to see your brush size by curser in a tutorial. Hopes this makes sense.

So cool - thank you! And thanks for the tipps layer select and undo alpha lock with two fingers! By the way, in the past I created a lot of wallpaper for teams or zoom. It is just fun to have your own and unique background :-)

You’re welcome! I’m happy you enjoyed it and learned something new. Wallpapers for teams and zoom sure are a great idea as well!

I find the cursor pretty annoying to be honest and I don’t think it will actually show on camera. Have you tried resetting your brush yet?

How do we get the color swatch for this!?

Art with Flo

It's at the bottom of the post, just click the .swatches file. Make sure to use a browser in stead of the Patreon app though.

Thank you! I was using the app

Even after selecting the correct color rgb stuff my colors looked drastically different haha.

colors will always look slighty different across devices, also, I'm recording my screen with a camera, I have a certain lighting set up and the video gets edited. These things will all influence the way the colors look.
