Hi All!


I was recently commissioned by DeviantArt to create a Creative Crate for the CORE Lounge. If you're a CORE member on DA, check it out here corelounge.deviantart.com. There's a high-res PSD, process video, brush pack, steps breakdown, etc. I will also be having an AMA at that link tomorrow at 11am Pacific time. Drop by if you have anything to ask me!


I'm also giving 10 core memberships to the first 10 comments on the piece! I hope everyone is staying safe! Cheers, Jorge

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know that I finally made an instagram account, now that it has a bit more image quality and less size restrictions!

If you want, you can follow me - www.instagram.com/jjcanvas_art…

I'm posting my work there, and will also be posting some traditional sketches and such!

Obviously, I'll keep posting on Deviantart of course :)

Thank you!

My Brush Pack

2 min read
Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing alright!

Just something quick - I wanted to share with you the brushes I use:

www.dropbox.com/s/z8gu28xdxwbg…



They are from a variety of sources, many of them have been around for ages from other artists (Jaime Jones, Kekai Kotaki, 
Levi Peterffy, etc etc etc...) others I made myself, others I altered, and so on.

Sometime ago, someone in my youtube channel told me he had just bought a brush pack, which really struck me the wrong way since I believe they should be shared freely with everyone. I really don't see the point in selling these as you can get them anywhere online these days if you research just a bit as fortunately there are still many people sharing them for free. It's also not like you are selling some secret painting sauce, it's just a simple tool. So yeah, don't buy brushes. And don't sell them either, don't be a douche! :)

Also, it's been said a million trillion times, but just keep in mind that they are just a tool and won't make you magically work better. They can be helpful if you are trying to achieve a certain look in your illustrations and so on, or to give some texture, but don't focus to much on gathering a ton of brushes and using them all. Just use the ones you are most comfortable with.

The last 10 brushes in that pack are probably the ones I use the most, but 80% of the time I use the same 2 or 3 brushes, the others are just flavor.


That's it! Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing OK!

The main reason for me to create this journal is to help a good friend of mine promote his newly released game Tower Slash!
It's for iOS mobile devices and will soon be available on Android as well!

You can check it here - itunes.apple.com/pt/app/id9459…

The game is really really good. It's an infinite runner but with some twists and requires a lot of quick reflexes, but not in the way you might think!

I've followed the development of the game and my friend really put all his heart and hard work into it, so please do check it out. It's FREE, so there is no excuse!

GO GO GO  -  
itunes.apple.com/pt/app/id9459…


In regards to art, I'll have new illustrations up soon!
I've had one sitting in the art folder for a while that I want to share, but as with many illustrations I'm just not sure if it is finished yet..but I think you'll like it!

Also, if you have any questions regarding anything art-related, please leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer!



P.S. - Bloodborne is sooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooood
