One Jelly, Three Hours
It took me three hours to draw one jelly. Procreate gradients aren’t easy—but learning how the brushes behave feels like the real shortcut.

It took me three whole hours just to draw this one jelly! Creating transparent gradients in Procreate is no easy task—it’s nothing like Illustrator.
I realized there’s no simple button that’ll make transparency or gradients behave exactly the way I want.
Instead, the real shortcut seems to be understanding how each brush works and getting used to using them well.
