Discovering flaws in the Adobe Sketch Application

---

I decided to give Adobe Sketch another serious try and now I’ve got some mixed feelings. The initial sketch was done on the Procreate App as per usual. I’ve got a larger range of pencil choices and blending tools that work in my favor. 

Procreate will be releasing an update in the fall with new and improved wet brushes. I’ve seen some behind the scenes footage shot by the Procreate team and I’m so freaking excited. I’ve signed up to be on the list to test out their public beta but I think I waited too long. 

I uploaded the sketch into Adobe and started to play around with brush sizes and the flow tool. From what I’ve seen, the flow tool controls the amount of color and also how the watercolors bleed. 

I decided to use several layers. I didn’t want to leave too much room for error. 

The biggest frustration that I have with Adobe Sketch is mixing colors. I’ve lowered the opacity on certain layers but it still looks overdone. I wish there was a tool where I could blend certain areas more without adding more too it. 

I added in darker tones for contrast. 

I downloaded the image and exported it into Procreate so that I could add in pencils. I saved the images for the completed sketch and noticed how the colors turned into pixels on the left hand side. 😐 Kind of a bummer but I’m not going to redo it- it is what it is. We’re planning on doing some cleaning before winter hits and I’ll have to make a mental note to retrieve my watercolor paints from a box hidden in the closet. 

I’ll be spend the rest of my evening sketching here at @coffetto.
