Watercolor Scans: The JG Crunch Pack!
🕑 Added 2021-06-02 14:14:46 +0000 UTCHey there! Coming at you with some of my handmade watercolor textures that I am using in the picture book I'm currently working on (Mushroom Rain). Here's crops of some of the textures in action:


I've included a .zip of 7 scans of watercolor textures that I made on cold press paper (so it's super crunchy and yummy--I even put some salt on one of them to encourage blooming). They are all relatively earthy and dull but you can use hue/saturation/levels adjustments to bump up the intensity and color. You can also use them as overlays, which is what I often do with my work, and that's also why I stick with fairly neutral colors!
Have fun, and if you end up using them, please tag me so I can see them in use. I would love to see what you create!

Thanks so much Jamie!! I’ve been wanting to make some of my own, but I wanted to fiddle with some in procreate to see how I want to use them before I spend all the time getting perfect scans. This is very helpful 😊
