First panel, panoramic drawing.

(time-lapse of creating my digital drawing for the first panel. )
Program used: Procreate App
Device: Ipad Pro

For this panel, I used reference from my observational drawing of Starbucks to create the architecture that can be seen from the exterior view. However I decided to use and experiment with different colours and textures; especially in the interior where I used mainly original ideas for the interior design.
However experimenting with new tools took time, it also allowed much more texture and a closer realism than what I would have done using art materials instead of digital.
I had previously started my drawing on my Ipad 2, on the much older version of procreate, where I drew the ballerina for it. However this was a frustrating process as its capacity stopped it from working mostly. Purchasing the Ipad Pro and carrying on working from that meant I had to restart the piece again, (taking more time) but I did use a pixilated picture of the previous drawing to re drawn the new ballerina.
Using the apple pencil gave me much more possibilities and details than my previous technique of using my fingers, also the updated modern version of procreate had more advanced tools, helpful tools included 'touch ups' ; including zombie skin, fine, flowing and short hair and many others to add textures.

Adding textures took more time, including experimentation with them, however I feel these where important in making my drawings more effective. Using procreate allowed my to use layers, meaning that I could work on the interior, bit by bit- adding floors, wall paper, doors, furniture, decoration, lights, then people. Slowly building up the details around the drawing, trying to give the illusion of a real café atmosphere. The layers also allowed me to work on the exterior in parts and then add them together. It also allowed me make windows that reveal parts of the café with out fully closing it off unlike my ink experiment for this piece where it over bled and took the full colour away.

Overall this drawing took me along time to do, roughly a fortnight. However I feel now I have played and experimented with materials the next seven drawings should hopefully take me much less time.

The pros of using procreate is that enables me to duplicate, layer, erase which makes it much easier to to fix  mistakes and change, and do some things quicker. At the same time this is a negative as I had become obsessed with silly details, which when  zoomed out and added layers back wasn't even able to see.

I am yet  to print this off and seeing how the quality comes out, the colours and texture could possibly not come out as vivid and clear due to printing, inks and types of paper. which is something else I may to need to test, the look on card, glossy and matte paper.
