Digital Art Project Pack 🦆 Farmers Market Ducky (Patreon)

Hello Bluebells 🌷

I finally had some time today to illustrate something just for fun, and just in time to make a new project pack for you to download!

I drew a sweet ducky doing some shopping at her local farmers market - she's going to cook carrot soup for dinner hehe 🥕🤭

You can download all of the assets for this illustration below, and either use them as a tool to see how I construct my art, or use them as a kit to recreate this artwork on your own. Just keep in mind that any recreations can be for personal use only.

You'll find in this post:

A timelapse video of the art process (above)

A simple breakdown of the process in images (below)

A working digital file with named layers (attached)

A colour palette as a .jpg and .swatches file (attached)

The original sketch as a .png (attached)

At first I thought about making a really simple illustration that wouldn't take too long, but I wanted there to be at least a little bit of story so I added the second character and I wanted the stall to feel full and lively so I spent a bit longer with it.

You'll see in the timelapse video above that I changed my mind about the composition a few times in the beginning!

In the end it took me about 3 hours to draw while I was watching a movie in the background (I watched the 2020 remake of Emma with Anya Taylor-Joy - I enjoyed it)!

I originally drew it in Procreate but I've attached below a .psd file so that it can be opened in most digital art software (including Procreate), that way you can see how I've structured the file and what blending modes I've used for the layers.

These are the main steps of my process, though not always exactly in this order:

First, I drew a sketch:

Then I coloured in all of the main elements, using the sketch as a reference:

I then added details, shading and texture over those base layers:

I would usually break down the steps a bit further but I had to merge some layers because I hit my layer limit in Procreate 😅

These are the brushes I used (from my brush packs):

Soft Canvas Pencil - for colouring the base shapes and drawing the details

Textured Pencil (Regular version and light version) - for adding texture to everything

I pretty much just use these three brushes for everything I draw in Procreate at the moment - they do so much and I love the texture!

Enjoy! 💖
