Brooklyn, NYC

'Brooklyn, NYC' | Daily Drawing #302

More lettering fun with the Apple Pencil/iPad Pro setup. I did a quick sketch of the lettering with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen on paper, then shot a photo of it. I imported the photo into Procreate and did a trace and clean up. Procreate can export layered PSD files, so I sent the file to my Google Drive and pulled into Photoshop on my MacBook Pro, where the final composite with the bridge photograph was made.
