About Roach Watercolor 

We went back and forth on Roach Watercolor  and kept it, because the alternative was a shelf full of files that look better than they work. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict. Enliven Designs is the name on the listing. It sits at 9 saves — too few to call it popular, which is exactly why it is worth a look before everyone else finds it.

Check the background: an illustration sold as a PNG with a soft halo will show that halo on every coloured page you place it on. Use it where the file has to disappear behind the thing you are actually making. The licence tab and the full-size preview are the whole of our due diligence here, and they take about a minute between them.

We filed it under Botanical and Animal Illustrations for the obvious reason, and the shelf is small enough to read end to end. People after this usually search floral, flower, leaf, plant and bird too, and the shelf is sorted so those all land in the same place. The wording people arrive with is watercolor paintings, animal drawings, bird drawing, hibiscus flower drawing and flower drawings, and we would rather shelve for those requests than for how a thumbnail looks in a grid.

How to use this file

  1. Download the set from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — brush sets arrive as .brushset for Procreate or .abr for Photoshop.
  2. Open the brush file on the iPad and it installs itself into a new set; in Photoshop, drag the .abr onto the canvas.
  3. Try every brush once on a scrap canvas and delete the ones you will not use — a bloated brush list slows you down more than it helps.
  4. Keep reference sheets at full size in a separate folder: downscaled references hide exactly the detail you needed them for.
