iPAD / PROCREATE TUTORIAL // JACQUELINDELEON

[Music] hi everybody today i have something a little bit different uh this is actually something i've been wanting to do for a long time i think i've told you guys about it before but i'm going to show you how i draw start a drawing from start to finish on the ipad today's video is sponsored by squarespace squarespace is an all-in-one website building platform that allows you to do everything in one place i'll talk more about them at the end of the video so yeah i'm going to show you how i go from start to finish a drawing on procreate it's not going to be anything too detailed or anything what i'm going to do is take a sketch from my sketchbook that's already you know doodled out and just take a picture of that import it and show you how i do the shading and everything on the ipad so um i have the ipad pro 12.9 inch i believe this is the second generation i had the first generation for years and i upgraded but they're mostly the same the only difference to me is that the um the pencil is always charging because it's magnetic here where on the other one you have to plug it in here which kind of gets annoying but it's not anything that will disturb your workflow very much so just keep it charged um okay so i'm gonna look through here and find some things um i had an idea before hold on okay i'm thinking i'm gonna do this one uh it's really simple and it's got enough of the body that i can show you the shading and everything and it's just a portrait so something easy so i'm going to bring up the camera you can take a picture with your phone too you don't actually have to use the ipad but what i do is take one from a little bit further away and just zoom in a little if you take one up close it gets warped which is fine if you don't have a lot of room because you can just change it digitally afterwards so this is probably good enough okay so in procreate i'm going to create i'm not going to work directly from the photo because we don't know the exact size of that photo photo or anything so i have here um one that's eight and a half by eleven i just called it paper and it is um eight and a half by eleven inches 300 dpi which is like the most basic least amount of dpi that you want and then i'm just going to import the photo into this file because that way it's the right size that i want and everything all right so uh you kind of just set it place it where you want i'm gonna put it pretty large on the page maybe higher up right there okay so now we have the drawing on my page i'm going to change the opacity make it pretty light if you want you can change the the contrast of the drawing first so it's easier to see but this worked out fine all right so i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and work through what i usually do uh i am left-handed and i do kind of turn everything this way when i'm drawing so i apologize in advance um but i'm also recording this and you guys already see it on the left side i'm going to have the screen recording so here you guys can see what i'm doing with my hands and then you can see the detailed version on the other side all right first thing i'm going to do i don't usually do this but because i'm left-handed it's more natural for me to draw characters facing to the right and then the opposite with left right handed people it's this is probably more natural for a right-handed person just because of the curves um so i'm going to flip this horizontally that's also a good trick to do to check your proportions and stuff it'll look weird if your drawing isn't um you know right i guess um okay so brushes everybody always asks about brushes my favorite one to sketch with is the 6b pencil you can find it okay so the 6b pencil is right here in the sketching section what i did was modify it a little bit because the this version is a little bit sharper so um here i'll go into my settings i'm not sure what i changed but you can compare the options here in your video to you in the video to your version if you want um i think i just gave it more texture and more of a square shape and made it more like a pencil than a pen all right so those are the settings for that one the other brush i'm going to use is the dry ink brush um and then i have this 6b pencil also that's just um it's opened up wider so you can do thicker versions and this is what i shade with so the dry ink brush looks like this and i did change it a little bit also so here are the settings for that i don't remember what i changed either it's been a long time i've pretty much been using these brushes for years and i don't really stick try new things um i do have a few of these like stippling and half tone brushes that are really fun but my basic sketching ones i put here and i just use those all the time all right so i'm going to start with a 6b pencil i like to sketch in like a dark red because it stands out and it's i don't know it just looks nice i'm used to doing it uh traditionally too so all right so i always start with the eyes i'm just gonna go ahead and do what i do i'm not gonna explain um all of the in detail what i do um like the basics of procreate uh you can kind of see what i'm doing here and if you want a more basic tutorial there are a lot out there um i'm just showing you like the tips and tricks that i do i guess so not really a basics you know what i mean so this drawing is like really doodily and cartoony so i'm probably going to sharpen it up a bit oh so this is really just the sketch layer um so i'm just going to go really quick and draw what i want um and then i'm going to go back and ink it afterwards this is not really that necessary you don't need to do this um sometimes when i'm oops when i'm using reference i'll actually trace the reference and then i'll go in and um get rid of the photo and then go work from the tracing and redraw the tracing um because you kind of have to learn how to draw the thing before you before you draw it on your own and give her a heavier lids um so some of the tricks that i stopped using um on the new ipads with this pencil that has the angled flat part on it there is actually a button here you can set it to if you tap it twice uh i think it'll switch from pencil to eraser i turned that off just because i it's kind of hard to like do that i don't know i'm just used to what i do so i didn't really welcome any changes but that is a shortcut if you uh if you think that would help you with your process all right so move on to her hair this is actually a sketch for a mermaid project that i was working on i can't really go into detail about it but i don't think i ended up using this drawing so i gotta remember that i'm going to ink this after so try not to go into too much detail so when it comes to drawing hair i try to do um just a basic shape of the flow so like i want it to go like this and then i want her hair to go down and then out because i want it to look flowy without being too uniform so i try not to have any patterns in the hair um like some people if you if you don't do this actively a lot of the times i feel like it's human nature to do symmetrical things so like you'll see someone's hair in a drawing and it'll go like this and then on the other side it'll do the same thing or this wave and this wave are the same and they repeat so i try not to do those things i'll try to like alternate sizes or like maybe not like that like a big one [Music] and then a small one and then on the other side make sure that they don't um match up you know so those are just some tips for hair uh to make it look a little bit more natural but that's also a way like if you have a character that um you want it to actually look like they did their hair with a curling iron then you would kind of want the symmetrical or like those the same size waves and stuff like that so stick her little ear out here um so once i do the sketch i'm gonna put crown on her once i do the sketch is when i do any anatomy moving around so the cool thing about procreate is that you can select things and move them around and you can use the liquify tool which is under adjustments right here so i usually just use the push option and you can make your brush a different size and let's say i don't like that this bump in her hair is kind of matching with this one so i'm going to move one of them up a little bit and move this one down so there you can really easily adjust things um without it getting too blurry uh sometimes it will get blurry so you kind of have to like limit yourself especially when there's already details and try not to do this on your inking layer do it before then because if you try to liquefy your inking and it's supposed to be really clean and crisp it's gonna start blurring so like get all this out of the way before you start inking if possible so i'm going to adjust her head a little bit i think this eye needs to come out further and so that looks good to me here this is when actually no i'm going to move her eye out a little further oops so in order to select something and move it you'd press the selection tool and do freehand so i'm going to outline her eye and then you press the arrow and you can move it over you can make it bigger you can do a lot of things so that's pretty easy all right so it looks good to me here but now i'm going to flip this image horizontally again so canvas flip horizontally and now it looks different it looks kind of weird so the whole thing looks a little bit unbalanced to me now so i'm going to go back into the liquify try to change this shape a little so because i moved this down um this area looked a little weird to me so i'm gonna move this back out all right i think that looks okay to me now i'm going to flip it back while i work on it and they both look pretty good all right so it's getting a little off center i'm going to move all of it over so now i'm going to start the inking process so i've already taken this layer i've made it invisible this layer i'm going to bring this opacity down again pretty low this is like 16 i'm going to add another layer on top and you can do colored lines i'm just going to do black for this and i'm going to use the dry inking brush so the settings i have on my brush are pretty sensitive so i keep mine around this area which is like 10 maybe a little bit bigger at least for the details you can get thicker when it comes to the hair and stuff but um if you want a focal point in your image you want the most detail to be like on her face or wherever your focal point is all right i think it's lagging a little because it still says liquify here yeah i'm not using liquify just so you know all right so i'm on a new layer gotta make sure and i always start with the eye because it's the most fun okay so that's a little sensitive to me so i really like this brush because it gives it like a it's the closest thing i could come up with that gives you like a um brush pen kind of feel like the pentel brush pen that i always use because it's really black ink it tapers easily but it also gives you a little bit of roughness on the edges so the very slight dry brush look so i just use my sketch as a really loose guideline to the inking all right when it comes to the eyebrows i always try to draw them in the way that the hair grows so i go i go up and then out or down um and then just try to taper them off at the front a lot of how i draw is especially for portraits i've learned so much from watching makeup videos on youtube like i love putting the makeup on my characters it's so fun i don't know and i like i like that for the characters to actually look like real people who have makeup on and it's not like natural like crazy highlights and you know like i get i get some comments sometimes where people are like that skin tone wouldn't have blush but they would put if they wanted to they could put blush on and then they would look like that or like you know i don't blush but i really like the look of it and i like to put it on so i don't know it's all based on whatever aesthetic you're going for i guess okay so i gave her a little bit wider of a cheek and a smaller chin and i don't like it so i'm gonna go back so my my eraser brush i match to whatever uh brush i'm using at the moment so usually it's a pencil but i'm switching to the dry ink because you want the same kind of edge all right so now that i'm going to start with the hair i'm actually going to make the brush a little bit bigger because it gets really tedious if you use such a small brush for all of the hair details and i'm just going to loosely follow my outline for the hair and try to go with whatever flow the hair strands are going um and try to keep my brush lines as smooth as possible you kind of gotta draw with your whole arm when you do this if you want a smooth line i try to make the hair look like it's twisting and if you mess up you can just try to like cover it up you don't even need to erase it sometimes just just make it look like it was on purpose oops that one's not gonna work i think um drawing hair really ha comes with practice so right now this strand is looking too uniform to me um i don't mind the size of the curls or the waves but the thickness is bothering me so i'm going to thicken it i guess i i drew that here and have a little loose strands come out yeah that's a little bit better um put her neck here and here you really want to um do the different line weights for the hair if it's in the shadow then you have thicker lines if it's small details thinner obviously all right so you want um when you think of your hair that you're drawing kind of i like to chunk it out in pieces almost as if it's a ribbon so there's like an edge two edges and that you see the underside and the over over the top and stuff so like right here it's like a flat piece that lifts and you see underneath it here you just want to make sure it has as much form as possible so this this is bothering me right here there's three equal parts that i just did on my own so um like without thinking so i want to break it up somehow they're also equally the height is the same so i'm going to make a taller one here oops a little messy and then put a little bit more strands that break it up that feels a lot better already um [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] so to [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] you all right so i think i'm pretty much done with the inking tried to keep it really simple so i'm not taking too long so now i'm going to go ahead and color it and i'll do a pretty flat shading style i'll just show you how i do the two different styles that i usually do all right so that's what it looks like um here it is without the background it's kind of cool and then um if you ended up like i like really bold lines so sometimes when i'm drawing i'll have a really light hand and i'll realize that like it's not bold enough you can just duplicate your layer sorry uh you can just duplicate your layer and that'll double it so like it's okay for me right now but if i duplicate it um that makes it a little bit a little bit thicker it's kind of hard to tell but if you're using a brush that's uh more like the 6b pencil where it has more holes in it um that'll make a big difference but yeah it's fine right now all right so i'm going to start coloring i usually do flat layers first which is called like the fill you can do it all in one layer it's easier to separate them because that way you can go back and you know change it easily so i'm just going to use here's this basic skin tone that i've saved and i'm just going to pick something let's go there but with skin tones you kind of want to keep in this area there's more yellow colors and more pinkish colors yeah so there's a good range and you don't want it too saturated so i would stay away from like this this side of the circle um go somewhere down in the middle and you can change it later um make it a little more pink oops so the way i like to color is just doing it by hand um i don't know why i just it might take longer than normal but i think it's it's just like sometimes it's better to do it like this so i just um since the color is going to be on a separate layer i'm just kind of roughly outlining the area that this color is going to be in just make sure you don't leave any white spots and then you can fill it if you have so since i'm using the dry ink brush it has bumpy edges like that so that when i fill there's some white holes there if you don't want that when you go to fill you drop it here and hold it for a while and then there's a drop color threshold you bring it up a little bit so if that got rid of a lot of it um you can probably do some more if you want otherwise you can just you know fill it in on your own afterwards so that's the skin layer go ahead and make a new layer and we'll do the hair let's do something cool and bright maybe green hair purple hair let's do purple hair all right so the purple layer the purple hair layer is going to be on top of the skin tone and with the hair you kind of got to be a little bit more careful with your edges since you're drawing on top of the skin and make sure you close all of your shapes so that when you fill it's not going to fill out the whole background and if you have any holes that you want to leave in the hair so like right here i want this spot to be open and not hair color so i'm just going to outline it real quick all right so that's one chunk let's just go and fill it see how it looks perfect a little bit of spot i missed there i'll do the other side all right looks good i'm probably just gonna leave her shirt white um so what i want to do i could either color it white or i could just now probably color it white i'll do one more layer in between the two for this shirt we'll give it a slightly off-white color just so you can see it easier i'm just trying to end it with a nice shape so i don't have to keep drawing further down all right so we got three layers of color this will do later and then the skin so i love working on the skin the most so we'll keep the base layer there and put another layer on top to work with and um let's see so we're gonna add the whites to her eyes and i'll just do it on its own layer pretty much sorry there's like kids outside my windows open and her teeth let's put let's give her like purple gray eyes maybe lighter all right all right so i'm going to just put makeup on her really quick so i'm going to make one more layer above her skin and because of the blush the way i put blush on it's going to be like a airbrush kind of so i'm going to do is select the skin tone because it's already in the shape that i want it so now all of this is selected i'm going to go back into that select layer blush color i'm going to have a more pink blush today because she has purple hair and i'm probably going to go with something really vibrant and then just dull it down later so i have this pretty bright pink here and then i'm going to use my 6b pencil make it pretty large and in case you didn't know this with the apple pencil and the ipad if you tilt your brush so let's see this is a normal stroke if you can see it but if you tilt the brush it kind of does like a faded effect almost as if you had a pencil and you're drawing it on the side so that's what i'm going to use here i'm going to tilt it and just kind of fade it in there come up on the eyes so she has some eye shadow oops it might be a little hard to see right now but i'm going to make it darker in a second i'm going to put some on her nose just kind of gently fade it out a little bit add some to her shoulders all right and then i'm going to i'm going to play with the type of layer here so um i'm going to make it a multiply layer and that made it a little bit darker and it makes it transparent so it affects the skin tone underneath it so it's kind of like a bright and then i kind of dull it down a little bit from there and it looks a bit more natural and now i can kind of work with it and see if i want to bring it out further but yeah that's i like that how that looks all right so now i'm just going to do the shading this is the most fun so i'm going to put one layer underneath the inks but on top of all of the colors so right in between those and we're going to turn it into a multiply layer and probably bring the opacity down to like let's say 50 just for now we can adjust it later but this is so we can see it so you're gonna pick a shadow color um if you if you want just a basic shadow just pick gray like a very medium gray but i would advise picking a colored shadow it doesn't have to be super vibrant but it gives your character more i guess like atmosphere um if you study color and stuff like that if somebody's outside a lot of the times their shadow is going to be blue because of the sky and the colors um so i like to pick like a bluish purple for my shadow so let's like something like a medium grayish purple there and for shading i like to pick the pencil um okay so again i start with the face um i put a shadow over the eyes [Music] and then i use this hair to cast a shadow on the face oh before you do any of this sorry you want to pick a light source um i always like to pick my light source coming from like here so a little bit higher than eye level and then like to the left it's just a like a habit i do um if you're drawing a character in an environment you have to actually think about you know the light sources there so yeah we're just gonna do a really basic one here so since this hair is really a really big piece i'm gonna turn the opacity up a little so you guys can see it better let's go to like 70 something all right so this piece is hanging over here and all of this is by her neck so it's mostly going to be in shadow basic shading techniques if something has a hard edge and it's casting a shadow down then it will be a hard edge if some if a form is turning away from you then it'll have a soft edge so like here on her forehead we have a cast shadow that's going to have a sharp edge but her forehead here is turning away from the light source so i'm going to shade it on the side a little bit and kind of do a soft gradient shadow uh and if it's a little too bumpy here so like you can use this smudge tool and just blend that out a little bit oops sorry i messed up okay the this should be set to that type two so there she has a now you can see just with some simple one color shading that this piece of hair is over her forehead and her forehead curves away so it gives you like a little bit of um three-dimensionality to your drawing um i just think it's fun to play with a lot of people don't like to use that kind of shading on uh really flat drawings like this but you can do whatever you want just try not to overdo your shadows i think just subtle it's good to stick with subtle shadows first and then all right so her jaw is going to be casting a shadow onto her neck so it's going to be a hard edge like that but then there's a shadow on the side of her neck because it curves away so you're going to do a soft shadow there same as this side and her face is also going to cast a shadow on her hair so you just kind of just do a rough shape of shadow and then change the contour of it based on how the hair is flowing so like this chunk of hair is in front of this chunk so the shadow is going to move further down and then there's this hair so yeah you're probably gonna just keep playing with those same few uh principles and then just do it on your whole drawing this hair is over her shoulder casting a shadow her shoulder turns away from us so we're going to put a soft shadow here kind of blend it into that part this armpit here is casting a shadow so it's going to be a hard edge so the alternating of that is really what's going to make your drawings come alive this hair is casting a shadow here this shirt is here so my shadow is a very close color to this the hair color so i'm going to have to adjust it a little bit later alright so with the hair i'm gonna make my brush bigger so it's it's all the way up on this this brush the size so i'm gonna switch to this one that i made larger and probably bring it around there so for the hair um you're not gonna have it's gonna be a lot more of the soft shadow so like here if the light source is coming from here we're going to have shine here and this part goes down so i'm just going to gently shade that area and it all come together a lot better once i put some some highlights in here so this part is in shadow the shading is really going to help with the form of your hair also this is casting the shadow this is turning away we're seeing underneath so it kind of fades down i love this brush because you can just easily let it fade procreate did a really good job with her brushes so i actually really like the flat look of shading usually so this is this hair is getting a little too much for me but i'm just doing it to show you guys um yeah i like really simple shadows all right so that's it for the shading um i need to add a little bit more on this arm it's very simple let's put some over her chin um i'm going to give her a cheekbone shadow because i love doing that with makeup contouring but if it's too harsh you can just blend it out with the smudge tool all right so another fun part we're going to do right now is the highlights so highlights i still want to keep underneath the line art so it's going to be underneath that but on top of everything else and i usually do two levels of highlights so uh we're gonna have like a general glowing highlight and then like a spot highlight so this is gonna be the glowing highlight we're gonna change the layer type to add and then i like to pick based on whatever color your light is i like to do like a really warm yellow for the sun it's like orange and then just like for this layer type you want to keep it really close to white so i'm going to bring it like right there and oops we're going to use the same 6b pencil not too big and you don't want to go overboard with this um the you want the most amount of contrast wherever your focal point is and then you want it to fade out so i already added my shadows so the highlights need to be focused around her face and then they get softer as they go away from her face so we'll start with her hair right here make it smaller and i'm going to make this less opaque opaque so put 60 probably this actually could go warmer let's see so you just want a little hint of it wherever the shunt the sun or the light is going to shine and you want to be very selective of this i know it's fun but you have to control yourself i always get carried away with doing highlights all right so i'm probably maybe a tiny bit on these parts but you don't want much that's probably about it so with her face i'm going to do you want the most contrast right here so that's the spot on her forehead the nose her cheekbone is kind of hidden under the shadow so you want to start it right at the edge of that shadow and then blend it away do some on her upper lip and blend it out if you want some in her eye all right and then we'll put a little bit on the neck just enough to show that the texture of the skin um this would be different if she was like let's say wet or sweating or something um the highlights would be stronger all alright so because i want the spot highlight to really pop i'm going to dim this down a little bit further so the opacity i'm going to bring it probably down to there and then i'm going to make one more layer make it an added layer also and this is going to be almost white so spot highlights usually are just like sharp and they don't fade very much so i'm going to use this dry ink brush and here is where you do the detail highlights strands of hair i like to do to make them like a shape in the hair um and you really want to be careful don't overdo it you can do a little bit here you want to follow the shape of the hair and then we're going to put a tiny bit on our face so let's oh actually this layer can be on top of the white the outline because some of the highlights are going to go on top of the black and i would only do the nose and if you want like lipstick look you could do like some lines oops um if you like the makeup look you can do highlights like glossy eyes i would do under the eyebrow but you got to fade it out so like i get a little bit of this 6b pencil and just kind of blend it out a little bit further than that i'll put a tiny bit here too i went over the shadow so i'm going to erase that part you want it sharp here and we'll just give her a really flat gold um crown oh not on that layer i'll put it on the eyeball layer because we didn't add anything to that it's just like a really graphic crown whatever all right um i think that's about it this is mostly what i do with most of my drawings sometimes they're more flat sometimes they're more shaded this is kind of right in the middle it looks really cool when you take the background out but yeah this is it if i was going to make prints i would just export it as whatever file type you want and it's ready that's about it like i don't really do much else um this could be a sticker you just want to make sure that you take the background out like this and just clean up any overlapping color that you did this might be a really cool sticker um from here you can change like if you want to change your like say the skin tone you could do hue saturation for the layer and then you could change it um you can make her all kinds of colors make it a little bit darker oh she looks so cool um just make sure if you go darker to adjust the saturation because you don't want it to be like a neon orange kind of there so pretty okay i want to make her um her hair lighter so i'll do the brightness and more of a grayish color so i'm going to bring the saturation down maybe a different color that's pretty this is so fun to play with if you change the lightness of the drawing though you want to adjust your shadow so it looks fine right now but if you wanted to adjust it you just adjust the opacity so i would leave it about 70 72 for mine all right i think that's about it um if you guys have any other tricks or tips leave them in the comments below i'm sure this will be a cool reference for people looking for ideas if you use
