IMO it is more about drawing ability vs app knowledge, so I would suggest learning to draw! Just start drawing and you'll get better over time. You could join something like https://streak.club/s/8/daily-art to keep motivated.


The daily art streak was an awesome suggestion, thank you.

I have one specific question. When you write in your diagrams, what brush settings do you use? Are you using calligraphy mode?

The handwriting in your diagrams has a unique look and feel that I was hoping to emulate.

For example: https://i.imgur.com/8Bb1wEY.png

That question mark is beautiful, and the thickness varies in a particular way that is quite unlike regular handwriting. It's more like chalk on a chalkboard. That's why I was hoping to know the exact settings.

I spent some time with the Procreate app today and was able to pick up the basics. I'll try learning by copying your work. Thanks again!


Oh I see ... that's done non-digitally using a fountain pen.
