Digital Bubble Doodle Tutorial Using Ibis Paint

I got asked in my recent post about some free alternatives to Procreate so welcome to Ibis Paint! Quick shoutout to @luna for requesting this tutorial 💕

It’s a bit of a learning curve (and the layout is a bit hard to explain in photos), but it’s a great app for anyone wanting to try out digital drawing without spending money. You can access all of their brushes for free if you watch an ad (afterwards you can use them for 4 hours and then watch another one), and they have A LOT of tools for drawing and photo editing/manipulation. The only thing is that it does tend to have a lot of ads— they won’t pop up if you’re working within one document (and yes it autosaves) but you might get one popping up once you exit to your gallery to start another one.

If you get lost at any point there are a lot of resources online about the app, and I can definitely make more of these if you guys want!

Hope this helps 💕
