Here we have yet another sketch, this one of a classic Scotch tape dispenser. I used an Apple Pencil on an iPad along with Procreate, and this time I started with one of the “pencil” pens to get the look of a classic pencil sketch, the kind I would have done in an art class back at university.
I left the initial sketch of the outline as it was, and added a new layer for the shading. I’ve been using layers in Procreate quite a bit lately, which I can keep separate from the first layer or merge down with the original layer if desired. Typically my sketches only have a few layers anyway though, one or two for lines, one or two for color, and a background.
Speaking of background I made this one yellow to evoke the idea of a yellow sticky Post-it note since we’re already in an office theme with the tape dispenser.
After the first sketch was done I did another quick and dirty version that is more of a felt tip marker or even woodcut style. At some point I’ll probably use some of these sketches to make relief prints, so that style will come in handy.
