A couple days late, but some festive holiday color

A couple days late, but some festive holiday colors in this piece using my new procreate set. Maybe the last one for the year now that I’m an Instagram slacker 😇. I’ll do better next year! Happy Holidays and here’s to a healthy 2022!

New brush alert! I did a soft-launch of these last week (thanks to all of those who have checked them out and shared their work!). This new Graffiti Writer set (available on my website, Creative Market, Etsy, and DesignCuts) uses Procreates dual brush/color capabilities to achieve new levels you can't get with single brushes such as 3D shadows, outlines, and layered textures. I'll be sharing more work in the coming days and weeks. And I'm excited to see what you come up with too!

Sorry for not posting much lately. Still being creative in my spare time, just not sharing work as much. I hope you’re well. Happy Halloween! Here’s a #procreate #calligram that I made several months back and never shared on IG!

One of my two submissions for Typism this year! Honored to be printed among so many talented writers! This piece is taken from a song name by @vermicularincubation entitled “Upon the Throne of Tragedy”. Be sure to give them a listen if you have a taste for the brutal.

Progress shot from a few months back. I ended up flipping the colors inverse later but it was fun trying to work on a lighter palette. Done with my new calligraffiti pro brushes. Happy weekend!

New brush alert! Thanks to all of you who have already tried it out! I’m excited about this set. It leverages some powerful new features in Procreate to add layered textures. It’s seriously helped bring my digital work to a new level. Hopefully it does the same for you! Check out the video and purchase if you like what you see at jakerainis.com/shop!

Water Board. Made this one in Procreate with some brushes from my new Procreate pack. I can’t get enough of this app, it’s been a huge game changer for calligraphy practice!

New Procreate brushes are live! I’ll be posting

New Procreate brushes are live! I’ll be posting more about them in the coming days but wanted to give an early shout to those that have been following. I really appreciate all the messages. Here’s a shot of one of the Calligraffiti works I made with the set. You can grab them via my website (link in bio) if you want to get them at an introductory rate. There’s also a link to a YouTube video if you want to see them in action!

These past couple of pieces I’ve posted have all been done using my new #procreate brushset that I’ll be releasing this weekend. More details to come, but it’s going to be an amazing asset for any calligraffiti heads like me. Happy almost Friday!

‘Stagnater’- listening to and inspired by @stagnatergrind, which you might want to listen and be inspired by too if you can handle blisteringly fast brutality. In any case, a good way to deal with the post-weekend angst we’ve all come to know and hate.

Finally LIVE! The Blackletter Procreate Learning g

Finally LIVE! The Blackletter Procreate Learning guide is more than just a brush set for procreate. It’s also a project file that has uppercase and lowercase letter exercises for the 4 core styles of blackletter (Textura, Rotunda, Bastarda, Fraktur) and quick reference alphabets. There’s also an exclusive hour long video that goes along with the assets that covers blackletter history, differentiating the different styles, how to execute all of the different types of strokes, and also includes a real time session on how to create dynamic works of blackletter art in Procreate. I’m confident it’s the best way to learn calligraphy to date - and you can apply all of the learnings to paper thereafter. Its priced at an introductory rate for loyal followers, but I’ll be raising in the near future. Enjoy!
