Embroidery Effect Digital Art: Butterfly Illustration Tutorial

Digitally illustrating a butterfly with a realistic embroidery effect is so fun and easy with my specially designed thread and embroidery brushes!

TL;DR: This butterfly motif / illustration comes together so fast and easy with my specially designed brushes. Layering embroidery brushstrokes with a cohesive color scheme makes the illustration pop off the page like it was real embroidery! 

Key Takeaways:

  • Realistic embroidery effects are easy with these specially designed Photoshop mixer brushes
  • I layer the thread brushes for a very dimensional and realistic thread effect for butterfly illustration
  • Subscribers can download my PSD source files AND loaded brushes, which let you follow along with the tutorial even faster and have more fun!

If you enjoy the freebie, please do leave a short comment on my blog regarding the embroidery brushes! (note: the embroidery brushes are pre-loaded with color, but you will need the actual product if you change the brush size, as the pre-loaded color will drop out, as is normal). xx Jessica
