Fauxsaic Kit for Procreate

Learn everything about using this kit with my in-depth YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/G3-UaOqAUqE

This huge pack contains everything you need to create impressive, realistic fauxsaics with your iPad Pro and Procreate (version 5 or higher). You'll get 72 brushes that I've worked hard to perfect for this type of illustration: tile pens, tile stamps, patterns, textures, and more. (Find the complete brush list below.)

In addition, I'm giving you 6 layered fauxsaic files, which you can use however you like: for reference, inspiration, and learning. And as a bonus, I've thrown in 6 color palettes you can install in your swatch menu.

Illustrated mosaics (or "fauxsaics") are an incredibly fun digital artwork technique that has soared in popularity in recent years – and for good reason! Fauxsaics are not only eye-catching, but are also meditative to make, akin to the pleasure of a good coloring book.

➻ Included Files

• 1 .brushset file containing 72 brushes for Procreate (version 5 or later)
• 1 layered Procreate file showing samples of all 72 brushes
• 5 layered Procreate files of sample fauxsaics for your practice and reference
• 1 PDF guide to brush installation
• Free access to my 20-minute YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/G3-UaOqAUqE

➻ Installation & Instructions

To get the most out of this powerful toolkit, please watch my YouTube tutorial about it, which contains full instructions for installation, a walk-through of the brushes and sample files, and start-to-finish lessons for creating realistic tile designs: https://youtu.be/G3-UaOqAUqE.

I've also included a brush installation instruction PDF in your download so you can follow written instructions for that step.

➻ Software & Hardware Requirements

This pack is designed exclusively for Procreate version 5 or later. Updating Procreate is free and easy through the App store. Procreate 5 requires a minimum of iOS13, so you may need to update your iPad OS before updating to Procreate 5.

This pack is not compatible with Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, or any other program. For the optimal drawing experience, use an Apple Pencil.

Please make sure you have at least 3GB of available space on your iPad if you plan to use the sample Procreate files, which are large because they are very detailed, layered, and high-resolution.
