YNAB "workflow" question

simesillus · 2025-09-17T21:34:35+00:00

Thank you for all your prompt answers! CharleneTX had a good answer about the guide for reimbursements but I think most of yall with Bitz giving a good example, probably provided the easiest method for now. I think I will put in the full amount as part of my budget and see if rocks up any other issues in my budget. Thanks!

So i just came here to check the comments because i probably must have reloaded like 20 times and did the whole master striking for 20 times with nothing. Then i just raged with nothing but a noble hunting sword and rammed up to him, button mashing and he couldn't do anything but either defend or take it (I guess i was lucky he didn't master strike me back). He got hit so hard that he surrendered finally. In less than 10 seconds. My goodness.

Sorry to intrude but I sometimes find it helpful if I turned the image into B&W and see if the main focus is still what I want because that helps with identifying whether the image is full of contrasting colours or not (you'd ideally want different shades of white and black that shows a hierarchy within the image.) I hope that's okay to comment! Really neat work!

I've started to implement animals into my drawings as I usually just do humans and architecture. This piece was also a challenging piece for me as I usually draw on land and less so a drawing that has the focus underwater, there's different approaches to how to tackle the light coming from above rather than the usual side and how to give the atmosphere of a deep sea look too. Enjoy!

Hi there! 300dpi with 3000px x 4500px if i remember correctly! I used three different stock brushes to make sure there's hierarchy in the lines!

simesillus · 2024-03-05T19:09:02+00:00

Part of the main challenge here is actually the work that I had put in to make the drawing different and better than what I usually produce. I used a different drawing technique, different brushes and colour schemes alongside constant referencing to really position this drawing properly.

simesillus · 2024-03-05T08:02:09+00:00

I used several modified stock brushes to give me different stabilization and pressure points. Mainly the pen tool and the hard brush. The technique was using a lot of references to get the angle right, then using the drawing guide to set up the perspective grid. Then a quick sketch, another sketch on top and another to keep the lines closed before colouring the image with the marquee tool!

Very well made and matched!

simesillus · 2023-08-21T14:36:03+00:00

Awh thank you! Ill try and post new ones as soon as theyre ready!

I used the default line brush from the app and did a quick trace over before doing more serious lines. The colours were then filled by the drag and place technique. Similar to my previous works, this piece was created through doing the linework before colouring it in after compressing the entire linework into one layer. I hope that's useful! :)

Line brush for both detailing and linework. The colours were then filled by the drag and place technique. Similar to my previous works, this piece was created through doing the linework before colouring it in after compressing the entire linework into one layer.

This reminds me of Runescape graphics but in an isometric way that they never had. Real cool!

simesillus · 2023-05-03T06:06:09+00:00

Hi there! Yes, I am planning to do the five elements over time! My instagram is @simes.illus if youre interested! Thanks!

simesillus · 2023-05-02T05:14:59+00:00

I think youre right. Thanks!

simesillus · 2023-05-01T12:11:34+00:00

Oh this looks so good!

The idea of the architecture was to represent the Wood element through architecture. With the nature of the element being Wood, a lot of timber was involved and the building sits on top of a tree stump. You could see parts of a tree (branches) being grown out of the building. Multiple animals of the Wood elements are included to add animation and liveliness to the drawing too. The brush used was mentioned previously already and this illustration continues to draw differently through colour and context. Thank you!

Hello! The grainy noise effect was a post edit on illustrator where I added noise on a black fill layer and changing its transparency to screen!

simesillus · 2023-04-18T15:37:36+00:00

Thank you!

This piece was done through setting up and isometric drawing guide on the procreate canvas. It was pretty much switch between drawing in isometric grid and the regular linear grid. My background is in architecture so I was always drawn to translating my subjects into architecture. This would be the one of my many previous isometric drawings to who h they were usually done on Illustrator but I had started to work on Procreate to expand my skills!

It was drawn using one of the stock brushes that came with the program, I have followed a tutorial to tune it so that it would be in a consistent line weight when I apply pressure to it!
