How to Add Texture, Patterns & Halftones to Abstract Art in Procreate with Midcentury Magic Brushes

In a previous video (   • Free Procreate Shape Stamps and Color Pale...  ) I introduced my free Abstract Shape Stamps with a spontaneous, simple composition. Now that my Midcentury Magic brush set is out, I wanted to revisit this composition, adding paper textures, halftone dots, retro stripes, and all sorts of pattern magic until it finally felt complete. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the whole process of layering texture and pattern to give your abstract art that rich, dimensional, handmade feel.

00:00 Intro
00:35 Set up
01:25 Change the background color
02:03 Add a triple curvy line going through
02:40 Gradient circle in the background
04:40 Add texture to the moon
08:25 Add texture to the wobble shape
10:30 Add halftones to the smaller elements
14:22 Add stripes over the moon
20:57 Outro

Project Details:
This works great for abstract compositions, art journal pages, mixed media collage, or anyone who likes layering lots of elements. You can follow along with the exact steps if you have the brush set or otherwise experiment with any other patterns, textures or halftones you might already have.
