Frequently asked questions.
DIGITAL ART ESSENTIALS
What tablet & app do you use?
I use Procreate on an iPad Pro 11" from 2018 with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil. It’s been my setup ever since I started back in 2020 and it still works great! :)

What brushes do you use?
My go-to Procreate brushes are ones I’ve designed myself to fit my workflow! They are available in the Procreate Brushes section of my store.
Where do u get all your references?
I love Pinterest! It’s sad to see it flooded with a lot of AI images lately, but there are still so many amazing references to find if you dig around.

I’m a beginner at digital art. Where do I start?
First off, congrats on starting this beautiful journey into digital art! 🌸 If you can, I recommend beginning with an iPad paired with the Apple Pencil and Procreate. Procreate is super intuitive, easy to learn, and yet powerful enough to grow with you as you improve! It’s perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to dive into digital painting.
If an iPad/Procreate isn’t an option for you, don’t worry! There are plenty of other great apps that work on both iPad and Android tablets. I’ve tried a few myself that work great for beginners⬇️
FAVORITE ART BOOKS
I have quite a few art books that I love! Some are gorgeous “Art Of” books from movies like Tangled and Into the Spider-Verse, while others are more educational and study-focused, like the Morpho Hands & Feet book and Color and Light by James Gurney (an absolute must-have).

TRADITIONAL ART FAVS
Traditional art is where my love for creating first started! Here’s a few supplies I love and recommend:
PRISMACOLORS
Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. They blend beautifully and are always great to work with.
OHUHU ALCOHOL MARKERS
I loove using alcohol markers. I’ve been using Ohuhu since 2019, long before they became so popular. They worked wonderfully back then and they still do today!
HIMI GOUACHE PAINTS
Gouache is like a perfect blend between watercolor and acrylic paint, thick and opaque, but it softens beautifully with water. Himi’s formula is one of my favorites, and I’ve been using them since 2020. I love their consistency and colors!

FILMING EQUIPMENT
I mainly just use my phone for filming reels and Tiktok’s! For YouTube videos, I use my Sony ZV-1 camera along with my newest addition, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
For editing, I use CapCut for short-form content and Wondershare Filmora for longer YouTube videos.
