Citrus Halves Procreate Color by Number Kit (Digital Download)

a procreate color by number kit of citrus cut in half and laid out from above: oranges, pink grapefruit, lemons and limes on a clean white table. 👋

big round shapes and a lot of colour. 25 colours across only 440 pieces, so every piece is generous and the whole thing moves quickly. the grapefruit alone is worth the kit: that ring of deep pink segments is the most satisfying thing in the shop to colour drop.

one person makes these. I pick the picture, set the kit up by hand, run it through software I wrote, and read every page before it ships.

made for procreate, and it works the same in fresco, clip studio and krita. set the line art as your reference layer, add a layer underneath, and colour drop straight into it: the colour lands on your layer and the lines stay crisp. when you're finished the numbers switch off, and so do the outlines, so what's left is a painting rather than a colouring page.

THE NUMBERS (so you know before you buy)

• 25 colours · 440 pieces · paints at 8 x 8 in at 300 dpi (2400 x 2400 px)

• not one of those 440 pieces is smaller than a size-0 brush tip. nothing here needs your finest nib. I'd rather tell you now.

the white table is one big calm area you can fill in a couple of taps, which makes the fruit feel like the reward.

WHAT YOU GET (5 files, one zip, nothing to print)

• line-art.png: every outline on a see-through layer, 2400 x 2400, drawn with hard edges so a colour drop fills the shape and stops dead at the line.

• numbers.png: the numbers on their OWN see-through layer. switch it off when a region's done and the finished piece is just the painting.

• palette.swatches: a real procreate palette. import it once and all 25 colours are sitting in your colour picker, in kit order.

• finished-art.png: what it looks like painted, to work from. it also sits at the BOTTOM of your layers, and that is the bit that lets the outlines go: a colour drop stops at the line and never paints onto it, so hiding the line art would leave a pale hairline everywhere a line used to be. the picture underneath already holds the right colour in exactly those places.

• read-me.png: a one page setup guide with a picture of the layer stack, written for someone who has never opened procreate. every tap spelled out, including the two at the end that take the numbers and the outlines away.

sized 2400 x 2400 px, which is 8 x 8 inches at 300 dpi, so if you ever want it on paper it prints at full quality too.

no printer, no markers, nothing to mix. if you have an iPad and procreate you already own everything you need.

instant download: your files are ready the moment you order, nothing ships.

MADE BY MEGAN (and what that means here)

• I choose the picture and check it will survive being cut into flat colours before I build anything.

• I set it up myself. every kit is tuned by hand: how many colours, how fine the detail, how dark the lines sit, which two colours to merge when nothing could tell them apart.

• it runs on software I wrote. not an app I bought and not a website: I built it in python and I keep fixing it, kit after kit.

• then I read it. every layer of this one opened and checked, all 5 files.

so yes: the tracing and the numbering are computer-assisted, by a program I wrote and keep fixing. then I check and finish every kit by hand before it goes in the shop. I teach high school maths. after school I make these, one picture at a time.
