PROCESS VIDEO // flower - phone recording
🕑 Added 2025-08-20 12:50:18 +0000 UTCWhen painting, I usually record snippets of it with my iPhone so that I can make reels and tiktok videos out of it! It’s not the full process from beginning to end, but a few snippets throughout. If you want to watch the full uninterrupted process video, check out the feed - I just posted Part 1 and Part 2 of that!
Here’s some information about the process videos:
This phone recording is sped up by 150%, so 1.5 times the original speed - very close to real time.
This painting session took me about 5 hours.
I mostly used the hard round brush from my own brush set to paint this. I also used a ‘soft smudge’ brush to soften the edges. I got this brush from Yuming Li’s set that I got when I signed up to their Patreon. I also created some brushes for my most recent tutorial on soft blending which have a similar effect - just scroll to the bottom of that post to download them!
This is painted in Adobe Photoshop. You can replicate a similar workflow in Procreate, with the exception of the gradient tool and the number of layers used!
I also recorded some of the process with my phone to create reels / tiktok videos from. I compiled those together as well - I’ll be posting that after these two process videos!
Here are some helpful resources that can help understand this process in more detail:
Tutorial // techniques for soft blending: This tutorial is about the exact workflow that I use in this process video. It talks about how I alternate between lasso, gradient, brush and smudge tool to create a soft blending style. It also talks about how I layer detail gradually and carefully, and focus on different design elements at different stages.
Soft & hard edges with the lasso tool: This video discusses how to balance hard & soft edges, and control softness by creating selections.
Hope you enjoy!
