Every artist, whether seasoned or just starting, knows the importance of having reliable, high-quality references. At Procreations, we’ve curated an extensive collection of Reference Designs that serve as essential tools for tattoo artists, digital illustrators, and creatives from all disciplines. With themes ranging from animals to sci-fi, these designs provide endless inspiration and are perfect for enhancing your artistic projects in software like Procreate and Sketchbook.
What Are Reference Designs?
Reference designs are pre-made images that artists use to inspire their work or incorporate directly into their creations. They can serve as visual guides for proportions, structure, and details or even form the base of the artwork itself. Whether you’re tracing a design to understand its intricacies or using it as a springboard for your next tattoo concept, reference designs give you the creative flexibility you need.
At Procreations, our reference designs are meticulously crafted to ensure accuracy, high resolution, and aesthetic quality. They are designed with tattoo artists and digital creators in mind, making them adaptable to a wide range of artistic styles.
How to Use Reference Designs in Procreate & Sketchbook
Procreations’ reference designs are compatible with popular art platforms like Procreate and Sketchbook. The flexibility of our designs allows you to use them in various ways to suit your creative process:
- As Brush Stamps: Easily import our reference designs as brush stamps in Procreate or Sketchbook. This feature allows you to quickly place the design onto your canvas, manipulate the size, and incorporate it directly into your artwork. Whether you’re working on tattoo layouts or digital art, the ability to stamp these references speeds up your workflow and opens up endless design possibilities.
- As Visual Guides: Many artists use reference designs as visual aids when creating original artwork. Simply import the design into your app, trace or freehand your rendition, and adapt it to your personal style. This is especially helpful for tattoo artists who need to fine-tune placements or understand proportions for body art.
