I have a confession to make. The engraved knife I posted yesterday was not engraved. It was a test to see if Procreate and the iPad Pro could produce a design that looked like it was actually engraved. It took me a couple of hours to draw the design, which I think proves that it can work well as a prototyping tool for an engraving job, if you wanted or needed that capability. :cool:

Sam would you ever share your brush settings? I got an iPad recently and have been having some fun but the shading is what I'm having a tough time with. I can't get a good taper/blend to create the dark areas fluidly. After your initial sketch do you use an inking type pen/brush? Or a heavier pencil? I've tried and tried to dissect what it is but just am not happy with my brush settings. Thank you in advance for any tips or pointers!
