I'm not into performative sketchbook stuff. Enjoy this mess, where even I don't know what's going on as I add more. It's funny how I almost never #sketch landscapes, for some reason.

I'm messing around with a painting. It's recomposed, simplified and made much clearer. Thank you, fresh eyes. What do you think? Can you look away? 🖼️👀 #art #clipstudiopaint

The Cumulus Core, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A surreal field with an impressive view of a radiant core surrounded by swirling dark clouds and swirling, radiant rays that arch around the landscape. There's a hovercat in the midground, hovering innocently. The colors are predominantly blue.

Another "Rampage!!!" for the #Yugo fan club. A4, mixed media on plain paper. There's ink, marker, neon marker and gold acrylic. This piece of #TraditionalArt was made a few years ago and still looks amazing, even raw like this. For sale via DM!

Zhillustrator@zhillustrator· Jul 4

This is one of my raw and unhinged "Rampage!!!" series artwork, mixed media on plain A4 paper. I finally made a video showing how lovely it looks in real life. For sale via DM! #TraditionalArt #art

Man, this 40" Canvas #print of Dreaming Above... really towers over the three other 23" prints in this large order I signed at the print shop yesterday. Love it! This order saved me from being broke this month, thank you, kind person! 💜 Order yours via DM to get the best deal directly from me.

A 40" stretched canvas print of Dreaming Above the Wreckage in Srem sits on a large table.

Several large prints sit vertically, leaned onto a wall in the print shop. One print is a 40" print of Dreaming Above the Wreckage in Srem, and the other one visible is a 23" print of Shepherd's Gate, half the size.

Something I made while testing a WIP brush for Clip Studio Paint, quite a happy, cloudy accident. Thought it would be cute to share.

A work in progress digital painting of a magical, surreal sky with vibrant clouds and a lemon yellow arch. There’s a cat floating, it wears a hat and a vest.

"It was a feat only the best Reality Twisters could've pulled off. Cores were made for spectacle, feeding off imagination, yet hardly anyone is able to interface with the century-old masterpiece now. Muffin can, though." 🖼️The Cumulus Core Personal #art, 202X, ArtRage/Clip Studio. @en.clipstudio.net

Getting back to Infinite Painter a bit, to unrustify. I made this amazing brush myself, so enjoyable to sketch with. Infy is really underrated. #InfinitePainter #sketches

I'm upping my handmade crochet hook game, seems like I have a new hobby. It's damn fun, maybe I trigger some spell accidentally, too. Promise to get back to art soon. 😊

The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

This is a "hack" if I ever saw one, I have to try it. This artist used staples to stretch his watercolor paper on a wooden board.

On the Morning Watch, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A boy in an ethnic dress is standing by a Yugo 45 car on a top of a small hill, overlooking a misty teal rural landscape with tall trees and low pink clouds. There is a group of geese walking around in the flowery overgrown spring meadow in the foreground. Two hovering cats hang around the car.

That's something I never thought about, my mistake, I will make a short instruction. Thank you for noting this little hiccup! Here's something I found for you, before I make my own doc:

Get the Brush File: Download a .brush (single brush) or .brushset (brush set) file to your iPad's Files app or cloud storage.
Open Brush Library: In Procreate, tap the Brush icon (looks like a paintbrush) on the top menu.
Tap the '+' Button: In the top right of the Brush Library, tap the + icon to open the Brush Studio.
Select Import: Tap "Import from Files" at the top right of the Brush Studio.
Choose Your File: Navigate to your downloaded brush file and tap it to import.
Find Your Brush: The new brush or set will appear in an "Imported" folder or at the top of your current library.

And it's not all, there's another funny weird #Procreate brush in the post alongside Elastic Ink. This is Elastic Sketcher, a version made with the same assets. I didn't want to put it up separately because I am a bad capitalist. 🌸 Grab the brush and support me at patreon.com/zhillustrator
