Kiwi Slices Procreate Painting Kit • Digital Color by Number (19 Colors)

a procreate color by number kit of kiwi slices tumbling down a mustard-yellow wall, blueberries falling with them and a scatter of crumbs caught mid-air. 👋

the greens are the fun part: 19 colours, and a good half of them are doing the work inside those kiwi slices, from the pale centre out through the seeded ring to the fuzzy skin. 410 pieces total, so it moves quickly.

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)

• 19 colours · 410 pieces · paints at 8 x 10 in at 300 dpi (2400 x 3000 px)

• roughly 4.8 to 8.9 hours, so a few evenings

• 8 of those pieces are smaller than a size-0 brush tip. on paper that means your finest nib; here it means pinch to zoom. I'd rather tell you now.

the yellow background 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 3000, 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 19 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 3000 px, which is 8 x 10 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.
