In today's tutorial, we will make a mother of pearl abalone shell texture. Abalone shells are quite iridescent, usually blue and green with plenty of sparkles and gorgeous texture, lines and squiggles. We will be using the Liquify tool to re-create those lines and ruffles that look like a shell texture.
I will show how to do this using my Holographic & Iridescent brushes for Procreate, though you are very welcome to experiment with any other shiny or texture brushes that you have. You can also try this effect with lighter colors for a more subtle mother of pearl effect, similar to the opal that we did a few weeks ago.
40 Brushes in both Iridescent and Holographic varieties (80 total).These dazzling, color shifting brushes provide a sprinkling of magic to any project.
This brush set contains two versions (Holographic and Iridescent) of the same 40 brushes. Both versions have color changing properties but they differ in the range of color change.
Holographic - A broad range of colors that gets even broader with pressure applied, so that nearly the whole rainbow can come out in one stroke. Great for high drama, colourful projects and unpredictable "happy accidents."
Iridescent - The brush texture shows up in one main color of your choice, but also shifts to nearby colors on the color wheel. Iridescent brushes are ideal for projects where you want to have more control.
WHAT YOU GET:
Two sets of 40 dynamic and pressure sensitive brushes for Procreate - Holographic and Iridescent.
Brush variations include lettering, foil, cracked foil, loose glitter, solid glitter, glitter flakes, gradients, and various sparkly, intuitively named textures like Prismatic, Shimmering Silk and Broken Glass
2 Color Palettes with carefully tested colors to give you a range of different color effects together with the brushes.
A written cheat sheet explaining each brush type and how to use them, in additional to helpful tips and tricks for working with the brushes, choosing colors, and getting the most out of them.
