How it’s Made
This series of images were all created, one after another, using Procreate (an iPad drawing and painting app).
You can find speedpaints of each image here:
Waterfall #1: https://makertube.net/w/duEJ5hbiD7bjqD66qzYBEU
This piece was started in September of 2022. It took 4675 strokes in the making of it, and 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete. It was the first waterfall I'd ever done, and I decided I wanted to do more, so I found images on Unsplash.com to guide me in making the rest.
Waterfall #2: https://makertube.net/w/qLscDaAcQiH9836J7eFv5k
This piece was started in September of 2022 as well. I was much more complicated, taking 5606 strokes to finish and 3hrs 3 min to complete.
Waterfall #3: https://makertube.net/w/1WViu1J27B4p6mc1ESQnNL
This piece was the last one I managed to get done in September 2022, because my day job as a professor at a local university started to absorb most of my time. It took 4820 strokes to complete, and I spent 2 hours and 19 minutes of "app time" applying pencil to screen. But the thinking... Oy. This one was hard for me. I searched for the right colors for a long time, and of the lot this one is the one I can recall being the most challenging.
Waterfall #4: https://makertube.net/w/6hJoMTikngZioN8V7ME3aG
I was starting to get into a roll with this one. It was started in October 2022, and took 3792 strokes to get to the point I was happy. A total of 2hrs and 3min were spent actually in the active app, but my though processes took a lot longer.
Waterfall #5: https://makertube.net/w/r5ufs6NAuMoHdJB1Wnfykw
This one was actually one I started before #4, but I didn't get it done until afterwards. It took a whopping 7172 strokes to make, and 3 hrs 46 minutes to complete. This was a very complicated one--a frozen river, which I'd never done before. I was making choices then backtracking then making more--there was a lot of experimentation that went into this one!! But I'm probably the most proud of it, of all the images in the set!
Waterfall #6: https://makertube.net/w/nyeb56dJeAAcdyyMttrnQA
I returned to more familiar ground with this image, feeling a lot more confident about what I was doing. This piece took the longest, though. 10592 strokes, and 6 hrs 15min to get it done. As familiar as I felt about what I was doing, I think it also made me work with much much more detail, and it was... a long experience! Rocks!! Rocks!! Rocks!!
In the end, though, I'm incredibly proud of this set. I felt like I really rose to the occasion on this one, and it's consistently one of my most popular sets of cards! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
