stock image of cowgirl
add camera raw smart filter for color and tone


then a little color
(I didn't do this because its not clear on the video what adj. she made)
masked her out
put her on multiply
double mask her
drop into layer set (group)
use splatter brush on 2nd mask


used cloud 2 brush at bottom


add textures
I think what she did was add a layer and fill with a light grey
then convert to smart filter

filter - blur - gaussian blur
and set this layer to hard light
(I set mine to pin light, just because I thought hard light was too harsh in my case)

this is a screenshot of her layers


photo filter - sepia layer


border layer
- it doesn't say how she did the border, but I just downloaded a border image from the internet
put it on top, did select color range to delete the middle of the frame and resized to fit



Here is my version

Smooth Lines in Procreate

notes from video by BeeJayDel canvas size = 4500x5400 @300 dpi using natural inker brush with these settings he uses matte screen protector and drawing gloves let the tip of pencil do all the work do not put palm against the screen let arm do all the movement, uses arm to move instead of wrist adjust pressure as you go don't come up with hand to taper off, do that with pressure he usually starts heavier and tapers off, but you can start soft then go harder then let up practice daily just do lines like this or use as a warm up exercise to get your arm and hand loose and fluid his sketch lines are just a guide or general idea he likes the fluid organic flow if you try to hard to trace it looks like its traced and mechanical stay loose with your lines the slower you go, the more jitters you will see can turn streamline up to help with jitters, but your tapers won't be as nice and it spills out more he usually only uses streamline to do long lines, like a...
