The Latest - November 2021 (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

A huge thank you as always for your continued support, and an enthusiastic welcome to all new Patreons! A quick update this month. It's business as usual here in the lab - some new textures, a new tutorial along with some halftone patterns, and a tutorial that I’ll have wrapped up in the next few days!

TUTORIALS

Custom star halftones and more 

Hard Mix is back! This approach to halftones can be really addictive to experiment with. If you missed it, be sure to download the additional pattern set for Expert Level Patreon supporters.

TUTORIAL COMING NEXT WEEK

Animated Illustration Effects in After Effects

I'm really looking forward to sharing this one. It's an incredibly simple setup that gives a hand-drawn animation vibe to even very simple animations. Getting close to finished on this one - stay tuned!

NEW TEXTURES

New heavy rolled ink textures added to the Ink/Paint section of the site, plus some additional sparkle and metallic foil textures. I’ve added a Foil subcategory to the Paper category. There are still a few foil textures hanging out in the Metal category (including a fairy popular gold one). I rarely re-categorize things, but may move those over to Paper>Foil in the coming weeks.

A FEW NEW FAVORITES:

That's it for the moment. I'll email a link to the new tutorial next week as we get into this last month of the year...

Cheers and thank you!

Brady
