I accidentally became an illustrator as a result of a daily drawing project that spanned 14 years. Throughout my career I’ve worked with clients like Cartoon Network, Microsoft, Facebook, Adidas, Nickelodeon, and countless others.
This channel is centered around illustration and my career as an illustrator. I also have ADHD, and I talk about that sometimes too.
Typical content includes tutorials, reviews of illustration related things I use (typically revolving around an iPad), Tips + Tricks, Lettering (Oh yeah, I do a lot of that too!).

Wow! I have to try this out, thanks for sharing!
After months of usage, which has the best durability? Thanks.
Are you using vector brush sir?
bro, how to add font on fresco for windows
Wonderful demonstration Chris, I worked in the silk screen printing trade in the 1970’s… and it was great to watch how you did that all digitally rather than manually. We have come a long way!! Ohh I got Fresco after watching some of your videos and now thinking about the Riso brushes. I do cartooning and am keen to try Riso on my zine making projects. ❤❤ thanks heaps!
Thank you! I used to do a lot of screen printing when I was in art school and then after that I had converted a closet into a makeshift darkroom for exposing screens. The riso brushes are my favorite, I knew they’d be in my Retro Supply Co pack when they asked me to create it. Just a heads up they have a 4th of July sale going on with 40% off.
ah brilliant! thank uuuu
🙏☺️
This is extremely helpful Chris, and entertaining. Thank you! Do you ever find a need to switch back to from Fresco to Procreate for any tasks? Lettering? Using 3rd party features in Retro Supply, True Grit, etc? I can’t wait to get designing and animating in Fresco!
Glad you liked it and found it useful! There really isn’t anything that I go back to to Procreate for. Recently I’ve been using it a bunch to get the Procreate version of my Retro Supply Co pack ready. I like Procreate a lot, but Fresco just allows me to work a bit faster and more conveniently.
@@chris-piascik thank you. it seems so many tutorials, especially on Domestika, are for Procreate. I like the development team at a procreate and had hoped to support them. But I’m just much more comfortable with Fresco - especially the native brushes. I’d prefer not to use multiple apps where I can avoid it.
I didn’t take many art classes (one) in High School. I tried to take a class in college and the art teacher tried to encourage me by telling me it make a decent draftsman……
Could you carry out all these steps directly on an iPad using Photoshop (iOS version)? Or are you not able to create an image sequence without using the desktop version? This looks like a great tip and can see this being rely useful 😊
The iPad version of Photoshop doesn’t have the video timeline unfortunately.
Is it really a flip-book….. or is it a kick-flip-book?
lol I see what you did there
Adobe isn’t a tool for artists it’s a tool to extract money from artists and now it wants to extract your soul 😂 scum
The method I used was using 'print screen' every other frame using VLC player frame skip feature, then pasting them into each frame lol I will try your method tho!
😳😳😳😳
Very useful and beginner friendly tutorial. I started doing little animations on Fresco after watching one of your videos. I'm definitely going to try this out
Glad I could help!
Great tutorial. This is super cool!
Thanks!
thanks for sharing this video ,,, very helpful ...god bless you bro ❤
My pleasure!
This is an INSANE game changer!
This is a very clever and useful tip. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial!! Really impressed with how you always find a way to show us these tricks in Fresco.
Glad you think so!
OoOoOOooOOh. Nice tricky-tricky there buddy. Thanks and I wish you well.
Thank you!
Wow! Your story is so magical. Thank you for posting this I feel really inspired to become an artist too🤍🤍
Thanks! You can do it!
I went to the Apple store and they let me draw stuff in Procreate for 30 minutes to get a feel for it. Bought it right after because it is truly awesome. I have used Paperlike for years and love it (except for the easy scratches) and yeah it has more of a paper texture, but this nano texture is impossible to describe unless you try it yourself. It feels creamy when you draw on it. Doesn't feel like the glossy screen at all.
Yep!! 👍
I’m sorry if this has been asked already, but what case (if you use one) and drawing stand do you use for the new iPad? I’ve looked everywhere and I feel like nobody has released accessories for this thing yet.
I still use the same drawing stands from this video: ua-cam.com/video/j2_KjBV_soE/v-deo.html both of them are technically for the previous iPad but they work fine with the new one. The fit is slightly more snug, a little bit more with the DarkBoard, as the rubber on the sketchboard 2 has some more flex. The new iPad is the tiniest bit bigger, you can barely tell when they are side by side. The iPad does sit a fraction of an inch lower but I don’t notice it when I’m drawing. I have an ESR case specifically for the new iPad that I use when I take my iPad out of the house.
Very cool technique! Thanks 🙏
Props to Kirk for assist. 🛹
Definitely!
Now I just need a hack to help me kickflip 🤘

Top tip, try and land on the bolts! X
Woah!...i didnt know you can do this in fresco!?......awesome!
Yeah, it's pretty cool!

Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Uhhh.....i miss skateboarding!😑😔
Kirk is good at it!
Nice!!! Ty man I asked about rotoscope in fresco last vid...tu Very much
Do you know of there is a limit of images to do this process?
@@rufos8403 I imagine there might be, but I haven't hit it yet.
Oh, Thanks Chris! I was struggling with complex movement... This is killer tip! Can't wait to try it out!
Glad it was helpful!
I would like this comment thrice if i could seriously
This is indeed a game changer, I will give it a shot! Thanks Chris
✌️✌️✌️glad you think so!
Gif? Only a 1:40 in so this is my guess EDiT: Ok I was close but no. Very smart! Thanks for sharing
Hah thanks!
OH SO HE IS NEUROSPICY
😆
It's so relatable not knowing if you got paid or not. And if you get kids they force you with no effort to get a more structured life.. ha ha ha.
Haha yeah 3 years into being a parent my brain is still trying to adjust.
You need someone else to spin the table for you. Not trying to hate. I’m sure there is a difference between the two me and my dad both are getting the new iPads soon (his with nano texture and mine without) so I’ll get to feel the difference too.
Hah well sure, but as someone with AdHD I can’t keep track of the spinning. Also what about the part where I get lost and find my way back to the screen? There would be no reason in the world for me to fake this.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Which one feels more comfortable in terms of drawing on the couch. I imagine the dark board would win with the lighter weight and thicker form. But also with the newer iPad, I know the thinness doesn’t allow the iPad to sit flush, so would that be bothersome? I’m currently between ordering the dark board or sketch board pro v2 for my new 13in. Thanks!
I use both daily because I have them. I use the DarkBoard on the couch not because of the weight but because the thicker form is more comfortable resting on my lap. I prefer the sketchboard pro 2 when I’m at my desk. The difference in thickness on the new iPad is minimal in this context. I can see that it sits a tiny bit lower, but I can’t tell when I’m using it.
I was going to buy the sketchboard, but I experienced an issue. I have an 11 inch 3rd generation iPad pro. The boards they sell aren't for that specific one. They have one for 3rd to 5th gens, but those are 12.9 inches. They also have one for 11 inch ones, but it's 4th to 5th gen. Which one do I get??
I don’t have a ton of experience with the 11” iPads. I would see if you can find the overall dimensions and compare them. The cradle that holds the iPad is a rubbery material so there is some flexibility. For example, they don’t technically make one that “fits” the new 13” iPad Pro yet, but mine works fine in the 12.9 version.
So I want to download it but it says that I have to sign or log in on my account for the transaction so does that charge me a price I don’t know if I’m making sense but, I don’t want to download it if it will cost money. So does it cost money to download it and do I have to pay the monthly thing to get brushes and etc. in simple sense does it charge you money to download it?
You have to log in to a creative cloud account to use it because of how the create cloud storage sync works, but you will not be charged unless you decide to upgrade to a paid plan. On the iPad it’s only $10 per year for the paid version. Not monthly.
@@chris-piascik so I can get it but I’ll have limited to certain items
@@GG.x126 you just won’t have the ability to import brushes
@@chris-piascik oh ok ty this was very helpful
That was good! 👍 did you print and make the wallet yourself,?
Thanks! I partnered with the brand Trove to make the wallet.
@@chris-piascik did you have to pay? or free because you partnered , confused
@@dbdesign-8 I was asked to do an artist series wallet and be their featured artist for the month of June. So I didn't have to pay.
Thank you for the video. It turns out that it is not possible to draw a finished vector illustration in Adobe Fresco, since then it will still have to be cleaned in Illustrator?
No problem. The artwork doesn’t have to be cleaned up in Illustrator, that’s just an optional step if you want the cleanest possible file. I only really do this if I am working on a logo that will be widely used and I want to make sure it’s as simple as possible.
@@chris-piascik Understood. Thank you. It’s just that you’re not the first to clean up your work in Illustrator, that’s my opinion. Thank you again and good luck)
Hi Chris, great video btw, quick question what is your Adobe subscription plan? i've noticed that u have photoshop + lightroom, but there is no Fresco on the list??
I have the full plan as I use multiple apps for my work. That said, if you’re using an iPad you can get Fresco through the App Store and use it for free, or pay $10/year for the version that allows you to import brushes and gives you more creative cloud storage.
art and bikes... 🥰
🤝
Quick question: How do you go about scaling up your art for large format printing? eg signs, banners etc.
Generally I would size my work accordingly ahead of time. If I knew the end result was going to be very large, I would just work in vector so that the file was resolution independent.
Very fun!
Thanks!
I got bellemonds kent paper screen protector. Its eating through nibs like crazy but i love the texture 😔
Yeah, for sure. Most of the textured ones are pretty aggressive.
Chris Chris Chris!!q At 6 minutes 34 seconds, I see your iPad on a white stand with little feet, I want to get that. Where do I get that? I just bought a new iPad nano and I want to get that stand that you’re using :-) never mind, never mind! I read the comments, and I found what it was called… Thank you for everything you do Chris you’re amazing!
