You will receive all the guidance needed to complete this illustration. You don't have to worry about not being prepared for it. The recipe for this illustration is very simple. All you need is your iPad, the Procreate app, and the Apple pencil. If you are ready for a colorful and joyful time creating this sweet moment, let's jump into the class. 2. Background - introduction: For this delicious and fun illustration, Let's start by creating a new canvas in the Procreate app. For that, you will have to go to the plus button from the top right corner and create a new canvas that has 4 thousand by 4 thousand pixels. This will offer you plenty of layers on which you can realize your tasty composition. Now that the canvas has been created a standard introduce the color palette for this class. The color palette is called Cafe time and can be found in the resource page of the class. You won't need all the color nuances from this color palette. But if you want, you can choose other nuances and color accents for your composition. For this illustration, you will need only two brushes to create volume for your shapes, you will use a textured brush, which will give a very nice granulation and vibration to the artwork and will break the flat look of the shapes. The second brush used is the elegant inking brush. This brush is used to draw the shapes and it has a very nice and fluid plasticity to give an organic look to your shapes. These two brushes can be found on the resource page as well. Of course, if you want, you can use your favorite brushes, but make sure you have at least one for the drawing part and one to create shadow and light on the shapes. Now that you know the few things you need to begin this illustration, Let's start by giving a warm and pleasant color to the background to set the tone of this lovely composition. For that, let's go to the layers which are found right next to the color palette. As you can see, a layer has already been created, but for the background color, you will have to choose the background color from the bottom. Now that you've clicked on it and you are presented with the color palette. You can choose the middle tone, cream color from the bottom right side of the color palette. This plaza and cream color harmonizes very well with a lot of color nuances, which makes it a great background color. Now because we want to create a sense of gravity for this illustration, you will create a horizontal line across the middle of the canvas with a darker nuance of green badge on the first layer of this illustration. So let's go to the color palette and change the color in this beautiful middle bash Nuance. Now lead them out to easily create a horizontal line across the lower middle. This line don't need to be perfectly straight, so don't stress about it. After your line has reached the other side of the canvas, you can drag the color from the top right corner and feel the bottom side of the line you've just created. Beautiful. And now because we want to fade that harsh line and use only color to express gravity and weight, we will use the textured brush and the color of the top side of the canvas. When you are using the textured brush, make sure you check the opacity and the flow so they fit your requirements. In this case, you will want to use a bigger brush size and the highest opacity to fade the middle line go from left to right over the place where the two colors meet until the line gets a little more faded. If you want to create a gradient between the two colors and fade even more the limit from between the two. You can use a bigger size and a lower opacity and use circular motions to disrupt the linear look of the gradient. Very lightly hover over the two colors until the gradient becomes very fine. And delegate. With this, the first step is finished, and it is time to place the first element of this composition to beautiful bushes that will create a frame for our lovely and delicious coffee time composition. 3. Two Bushes - medium shape: In this step, you will focus on two similar Bush shapes. One place on the left side and another one on the right side. These medium-sized shapes will be part of the background composition, along with some smaller and bigger shapes. To create the contour of the first Bush, you will need the inking brush in order to have a fine, clear, and elegant contour. So let's start by picking up the inking brush and then going through the layers. You will press the plus button to move onto another layer. Illustrating with layers makes the entire process much more enjoyable, easy and cursive for the color of the bushes. You will use this beautiful middle green from the top-left side. This green goes very well together with a creamy colors of the background. The bush shape is very cute and decorative. It has an elongated oval shape with a couple of small curves on the bottom of it. The moves used are very similar to when you would describe a heart. After the shape is defined enclosed, you can drag the color from the top right corner and fill the shape. Take your time for any small adjustments. If you want to reshape your beautiful and perky bush, you can use the Move tool from the top to play with the volumes of the shape. The move tool needs to be set on warp. And now you can drag the bush from inside to the outside. Maybe you want to make the main shape look fuller and bigger on the left side and the little circles from the sides a little bit more lifted. Try to look at this bush like a little balloon. You want this shapes to look healthy, hearty and joyful, know droopy shapes. After this, you can press once more the move tool to unselect the bush. With this, the first shape is then it is time to create the second shape. For that, you will want to go to the layers and add one more on the top. This will be the layer of the second Bush, which will be placed on the right side of the composition. Taking a little bit of space from the first one as before, makes sure that the shape you are describing feels energetic and dynamic, giving it multiple perky peaks and an elongated look. After you're satisfied with the main shape as before, you can drag the color from the corner and drag it inside the shape. Now as before, if you want to pay a little bit more attention to the shape of the bush, you can use the Move tool set on warp to modify the look of your lovely second Bush. And of course, if you feel like you're Bush is too far away from the first one or two, low or high, you can use the move tool on uniform to find a better place for the bush by dragging it from outside to the place you desire. This one feels a bit too far from the other one. Of course, you can go to the other layer, to the other bush and change its location as well. Once again, using the Move tool on uniform, do not skip this process and try to play with their position until you feel you've improved them. After the shapes of the two bushes are done, it is time to give life to their real features. For that, you will start by playing with light and shadow on their shapes. Starting with the shadow, you will express them using a darker nuance of green. So make sure you pick it up from the top left side of the color palette. After the bush and the color are ready, let's go to the layers and having the first Bush selected, you will press on this layer and select from the shown panel the Alpha Lock option. You can do the same for both bushes as they will both get through the same process. Now you can freely play with a textured colors on the shape of the bush without disturbing the rest of the composition before starting to apply the texture shadow to the bottom left side of the shapes. Keep in mind to adjust the size of your brush and lower the opacity in order to fit the smaller size of the bush and gradually build the textures using circular motions to give an organic look to this shadows. And repeat the movement a couple of times until you create a fine dark green gradient. After the shadow part is done, you can soften out the gradient by reapplying a light green color over the place where the two colors meet. And then if you're ready for the lightened side of the bush, Let's pick from the color palette, this beautiful light gray from the bottom right side, starting from the top right edge of the bush, slowly use circular motions to bring a little bit of light over the bushes. Use this color scarcely, and try to avoid going over the dark side to not obtain grayish nuances of green. As for the shadow drop a tiny bit more color on the outside edges of the bush, until the edge appears a little bit more faded in comparison with the background. After the light side is done, it is time to move on to the next bush. Even if this process is very important to be done for the second Bush as well. This time you can start with a light part of the bush because the light is coming from the same direction as for the right side bush. You will apply this slide on the top right side of the Bush, focusing the light on the edge of the shape. Use circular motions when describing the round shape of the bush. As you can see, even though the light color is similar in value with the background color, they detached from one another because they have different color temperatures. Now let's not forget to create the dark side of this as well. To complete this beautiful tree, the appearance, picking backup from the palate, the dark green from the top. If you want to speed up this process and you feel confident in your brush handling, you can increase the opacity and the size of the brush to have a faster and more efficient coverage power after the dark side of the bush has been created, the two shapes are ready for some finer details. For that you will grab once more from the color palette, the light nuance of green from the top. And then let's make sure the left side Bush is selected. Now starting from the top of the bush and using the inking Kalman brush, We'll start tracing some beautiful and long line across the volume of the bush to describe some elongated branches. Even though these lines appear straight, they are actually a tiny bit curved to not give a flat look to the little bushes by using a limited color palette for each of the shapes, you give them a lot of personality and charm. So make sure you don't go too far with the color diversity when it comes to one single shape. After the first Bush is covered with this beautiful crossing lines, it is time for the second one. So let's go to the layers and select the layer of the right-side Bush. Trace these lines from one side to another while making sure they create a 45-degree angle with one another. You can vary their thickness by pressing lighter or harder on the pen. After each of the curves has been decorated with this beautiful and delicate branches, the two bushes are done. Remember that these bushes represent the part of the background decoration, so they don't need too many details. Keeping things simple when layering your illustration is a great way to ensure your composition will be a well-balanced one. Now let's move to the next step to create some small size shapes for your background decoration. 4. The Branches - small shape: Now that the two bushes are finished, it is time for some small size shapes for the middle ground declarations. These shapes will stand on the front of the bushes and will be very lovely and colorful. To draw this, you will need to create a new layer on top or in front of each bush layer. After these two layers are created, keep the top layer selected in order to create the first branch. For this branch, Let's pick a beautiful bright red color. Any of it from the top or the middle can be used. So pick whichever you like most. After this, make sure the brush is selected and then you are ready to draw. At start, you will trace a curved line across the bush from the right, moving upward on this main branch, you will create a couple of additional slightly curved lines, just like you've made before for the bush branches, two branches on each side. And let's break the rhythm with one more branch on the bottom right side. As you can see, these branches reach the outside part of the bush. So don't be afraid to make the little branches a bit longer. After this, it is time to place and sweet little circles over the branches to signal maybe some berries or flower buds. These little circles will create a beautiful shape variety and will make the illustration see much more whole and well-balanced. There's little circles are very important for this composition because the rest of the shapes will be mainly middle-sized shapes and we need a bit of rhythm and play in this lovely illustration makes sure these circles vary a little bit in size and position. Two or three little red balls on each beautiful branch will be enough to make these branches seem extra decorated. Sweet, even though the shape may seem a little bit complex. It is composed of very simple and easy to read shapes, and that is what makes an illustration feel well balanced and eye-catching. Look at how beautiful the red color contrast over the green bush from the back. Now the first branch is finished, and at this time for the second one, now it is apt for you. You can move to the anti layer from the top of the other bush and create a new branch with its own unique and special bundles of sweetness. But there is another way which you may prefer if you want to spend your attention in other kinds of details, you can delete this layer and having selected the layer of the red branch, you can go to the top of the screen and selecting the move tool. You can press the Copy and Paste button from the bottom panel. After this moving to the layers, you can see that now there are two layers with the same branch model. Having selected the Inserted Image layer, you will want to use the move tool to move it away from the first branch and place it over the left side Bush. Firstly, let's flip horizontally the branches and then having the uniform option select that, move their branch to the left by dragging it selection from outside. If you want to re-size the branch to make it fit the size of the bush. Drag the rectangle from the corners inside the shape. After you've placed it over the left side bush, you will use the move tool on work to modify the shape of this branch to make its shape look different from the first. Makes sure that as for the first, the little circles reach and come out of the edge of the Bush. Be careful to not disturb the circles, the image by stretching them too hard. After you are pleased with the position of the branch, you can go to the color palette and selecting a different color, let's say this grade that will be found later on the illustration, you can drag the color from the corner and fill the shape of the branch. And with this, the two branches are finished and you're ready to take them to the next level with some beautiful light and shadow. 5. The Branches - light and shadow: In this step, you will take further the illustration by improving the look of the background declarations. You will do this by playing with the oman brush and with light and shadow colors in order to give volume and shy to the branches, the first thing you will need to do is to drag the last white branches on the top of the first Bush in order to have them grouped two-by-two. After that, having the layer of the light branches selected, click on it and select the Alpha Lock from the shown panel. Then you will be able to create some beautiful shadows using the darker nuance of gray from the bottom right side. Of course, before starting makes sure that among brush is selected from the brushes. Now that you are ready, let's zoom in and focus on the bottom left side of the little circles using diagonal moves to describe some delicate shadows. This will ensure that the shadow from the branches matched the ones of the bushes. Keep going over each little white bundle, including the brand as well as its surface will catch some of the shadow made by the little circles. Of course, this diagonal manner of shadowing the circles is not mandatory. You can add a little bit of diversity so the shapes don't look flat after each of the little circles has received its side of shadow, you can use this dark gray color to create small details over the light side may be describing some little lines or strives to make the shapes look more interesting and give them a bit of personality. Use these kinds of details scarcely to avoid repetition. These kinds of details can feel like fresh hair. Once you know that there are power, won't stay in numbers, but simply in their scarce presence. Now that the small wide brand has found stem shadow, it is time to move to the next branch, the red and colorful one. So let's go to the layers and selecting the layer of the red branches, press on it and make sure the Alpha Lock option is checked. Now that the shape of the branch is secured, you can go to the color palette, and this time you can pick the lighter nuance of pink from the bottom-right side. As you can see, you can use as accents of color, both light and shadow. So this time you will create some pink patches of light on the top right side of this cube buds. Take your time to cover with a little bit of light each top right side of this circles to make them look nice and round. Feel free to give a little bit of light to the branches as well. To not make them a strange from the little circles. Look at how sweet these branches look now that there is a little bit of light casted over them. As for the white branches, you can add those tiny details described as small lines or stripes that go inside the dark red from the bottom left side. These lines are quite random and freely placed. So don't think too much when you are creating them, but make sure you don't overdo them either. And of course, don't forget to cast a little bit of light over the middle brands as well to make it pop out in front of the bush. Take your time to add any smaller details as they bring a lot of variety and diversity to the composition. And with this, the medium and small shapes of this background decoration are finished. And you can now prepare for the big shape of this gorgeous composition. 6. The Vase - big shape: Congratulations for coming so far, looking at how wonderfully the composition is going. Now before moving further, it is time for a little bit of cleanup. So let's go to the layers and pressing on the white branches, selects from the shown panel the Merge Down option in order to have on one single layer the white branches and the bush from the left side. Then having selected the red branches, click on it and press once more the merge down option. And now that you have the two layers of the bushes and the branches, drag the layer with the red branches underneath the other one in order to have it more in the back. Congratulations, now you are ready to create the big shape of this composition. And that is a beautiful big round vase just in-between the two bushes on a new layer. To create this base, you will use this gorgeous orange color from the bottom left side of the color palette. And because you will want to create the contour of the next shape, the inking brush should be selected from the brushes. And now you are ready to draw. For the beginning, you will want to trace a gorgeous round circle. As you can see, this circle doesn't need to be perfectly round, but this time make sure you hold down the bottom after closing the circle. This way you will obtain a beautiful uniform circle shape after the circle is created and on the top of the screen has appeared, the Edit Shape option. You can click on it and select either an ellipse or circle option, but you don't want to make this circle perfectly round. Actually, it will be rather a wider lips so the vase can look nice and comforting, rectal. It'll point to the sides until your circle looks a little bit more flattened and relaxed. And after that, you can drag the color from the corner and fill this gorgeous round shape. It is so comforting to see such a sweet and bright shape hiding between those two bushes. If you feel like the vase is covering too much of the bushes or you need to re-center it. You can use the move tool on the uniform to make it smaller or drag it around. And now that the round shape of the vase has been done, it is time to create the neck of the face. So let's move a tiny bit closer and taking a little bit of distance away from the middle, create one side of the square, then the right side and the top. A small little square that will signal the neck of the vase. Very sweet and simple, one step further, and the shape of the vase will be finished. Let's get closer to the neck of the vase. In order to create its mouth, you will draw the mouth by creating a C-shape on the top left side of the square and a reversed C-shape on the other side, just a tiny bit bigger. Then you can link the two C shapes on the top with a curved line in order to obtain this sweet bean shape. And then you can feel the mouth of the vase with this orange color. And if you feel like bring any more refinements, you'll find useful. As you can see, even these round shape that occupies a big part of the background composition has small details that make it look special and give his character after the neck and the map of the vase are done. The whole vase is ready to gain some gorgeous round volumes by playing with some warm colors. So let's jump into the next step. 7. The Vase - colorful textures: Now, as you can see, the big shape of the background has found this place in-between these beautiful bushes. And now it is time to transform the flat look of the vase shape into one that is much more full of volume and color diversity. So let's start by going to the brushes and pick up the texture to keep the brush. And now that the brushes ready, let's go to the layers and having the layer of the big round face selected, press on it and select the Alpha Lock option from the panel. At the beginning, we will cast some beautiful light over the round vase. So you will use this bright yellow from the top right side before everything else. Makes sure that the size of the brush is at a comfortable level. Now starting from the top right side of the shape, use circular motions to slowly move to the middle of the vase. As you can see, this texture, the yellow is a little bit more concentrated on the edge of the shape because the light comes from the top right side. As for the other shapes, as you continue applying this yellow more and more into the shape, you will notice that the yellow will change from being light accent into being the actual color of the face. So make sure you bring down the intensity of the yellow color by going over the entire shape once more with a light paths of orange. This yellow is a very strong and bright color that can break the shape that you try to counter. So use it with a lower flow and more scarcely. Let's get a little bit closer to the mouth of the vase. And using a smaller brush size captured the top right side of the mouth and the right side of the neck. This is very important to help the identified the whole shape of the objects. So don't forget to accentuate any right edge of this space. Now, it is time for a darker and more intense color for the shadow part of this phase. So let's go to the color palette and pick the dark orange from the bottom middle side. Now because this color will signal the shadowed side, you will move to the bottom left edges of the vase shape, concentrating this color accent right on the edge to make the shape of the neck and the mouth pop out from the background. Zooming out and increasing the flow of the brush, you will slowly descend on the left edge of the vase using more linear or curved outside motions. Keep the dark orange color away from the yellow in order to create a smooth gradient between the colors. Now, even if this orange color, it looks beautiful on the vase, the shadow is still not intense enough to have the shape detached as a round shape. So you will move one step further and grab the intense red from the middle left side, follow the outside part of the orange arrow and apply a small quantity of this orange following the circular shape of the vase. Look at how much more beautiful and interesting this gorgeous round vase looks. Now, don't forget that this shadow should be found on the left side of the neck and the mouth as well. So make sure the size of the brush is smaller. And you can concentrate this beautiful red on the neck of the face and the mouth. This red color helps a lot to create. Encountering the round shape of the face. Take your time to capture the light on your object as lovely as you can. If you feel like you can use the original color of the vase as a texture color in order to make more clear and visible, the three colors of the vase. Look at this incredibly looking orange vase. It feels like a lovely cell anti with this round shape and hearty color. Now, of course we cannot let this face empty. Let's move to the next step to put in this lovely face a tiny little plant. 8. Little Leaves - small shapes: This, that will be very short and sweet. So let's get ready for it. As you can see, the big shape is done and has found its place between the two pretty bushes. Now we will create a link between the color of the bushes and the vase. By placing some greenery in the vase, you will start this step by going to the layers and adding one more layer on top of the face. Having this layer selected, let's go to the color palette and pick the middle green from the top left side. Of course, because you will want to firstly create the shape of this lovely leaves, you will need the inking brush. Makes sure that the opacity is at maximum and the size is at a comfortable level. Let's get a little bit closer to the mouth of the vase. And start by placing a curved line that stands for the stem of the plant that leaves from the inside part of the mouth and descends down over the vase surface, make it quite thin and delicate, just like the branches. Now you will add three leaves on this lovely planned one big edits and over the vase. And two on the top, starting with the one from the bottom, make it big and oval about the size of the neck and the mouth of the face. Going for the second leaf, Let's create a long petiole going to the top and then a beautiful all shaped going to the top as well, a bit smaller than the first one. Very simple shapes. Now to bring a little bit of balance and harmony between the two shapes, you will add just one more leaf, even smaller, right on the top. It is very interesting to play with different numbers when it comes to illustration. One big vase to Miriam bushes and three small leaves. Now, if you want to play with the position of your lips, feel free to use the move tool on warp to make it fit the frame perfectly. As you can see, these leaves make a connection between the big yellow vase and the two bushes, not just recolor, both reshape as well at the end, after you've made your leaflets nice and snug one next to the other. You can use the eraser from the top to get rid of the rest of the standard goes inside the face. Very simple. Take your time to make any more adjustments over the shape of the leaves. Maybe you want to make them look a bit more pointy or interesting looking. And now that the shape of the little leaves is done, it is time to play with some light and shadow as for the little bushes. So let's go to the layers and press the Alpha Lock button for this layer. Now from the color palette, you can pick this beautiful blue color from the bottom middle as this color will contrast gorgeously with the color of the vase at will make the leaves look very special and beautiful. And now let's go to the brushes and pick the textured brush. Now you are ready to cast this beautiful blue light onto the top right side of the three leaves. Make sure that the brush size matches the size that you need for the light. So make sure you decrease the size of the brush and you increase a little bit of the opacity to have more efficiency. And now let's apply this beautiful blue onto the leaves, making sure you lift some of the color from underneath on the left side of the leaf and use circular motions to better describe the round look of the pretty little leaves at the end. Don't forget to create a little bit of light on the stem as well to make the standard look much more sweet and less contrasting. Now let's not forget the shadow. So you will pick the dark green from the middle top side, make sure that the size of the brush is low. And then you can start creating the shadow on the bottom left side of each leaf. This will help their shapes stick out from the background and look much more interesting. You can apply some of this shadow on the little petioles and on the status as well. To make much more obvious, the way the stem bands after this, all that is left to do is to create some cute veins for these leaves. So let's go to the color palette and pick once more the green from the top left side. After this, you can grab from the brushes, the inking brush to be able to trace this feather lines, one middle vein for each of the leaves. And now you can take your time to add on each side of the leaf two or three lines that lift from the middle line at a 45-degree angle. If you make these lines a little bit curved, You will enhance even more the curvy look of the leaves. And with this, the beautiful backgrounds, decorations are finished. The two bushes, the big orange base and a tiny leaflets, already create a gorgeous composition that stands out on its own. It is very important to help the shaves harmonized one with each other by exchanging colors and finding subtle color contrast. Now it is time to bring the plate for our delicious dessert. So let's move to the next step. 9. The Plate: In this step you will lay down the plate for the tasty Eclair desert. So let's firstly make some preparations. First of all, you will go to the layers to bring together all the beautiful elements created till now. So starting from the top, progress on each of the layers and select the merge down from the panel, repeat the process until all the declarations can be found on one single layer. Now, if you press the Move tool and you set it on uniform, you can see that all the elements have become one and can be moved together to be made bigger or smaller, or to center them better in the middle of the illustration. Now, let's go to the Layers and create one more layer on top of the others in order to make space for the beautiful plate. Because first of all, you will begin with the contrary. You will need to pick the inking brush from the brushes because we want to harmonize the background colors with the foreground elements. For the plate, you will use the same beautiful orange color used for the vase. Now let's get closer to the bottom of the composition. Start by tracing a horizontal line a bit smaller than the wideness of the vase, which will stand for the bottom of the plate, for the sides of the plate, you will add two short lines that goes to the top at an angle. And now let's close the shape on top with a slightly curved down line. After the shape is closed, you can drag the color from the corner and fill the shape of the plate. Of course, for the moment the play doesn't look great, but now you will use the move tool on work to refine the shape of the plate. First, let's rug underneath the plate the two bottom corners to make the underside of the plate nicely and smoothly curved and then stretch the top of it, the sides until the top edge looks more symmetrical. Drag the middle of the top edge down to make it look round. At the end, it doesn't need to look perfectly symmetrical. And now let's use the move tool on the uniform to make the plate seem a bit bigger and drag it underneath the bush from the left end the vase. After you've established the position of the plate, you can unselect the Move tool. And now you are ready to create the inside part of the plate. So let's go to the color palette and grab the dark green from the top left side. Now let's trace a curved line from left to right to make it a little bit more curved than the front edge. This dark color will contrast beautifully with the desert and it will complement a lot the orange color of the plate. You can take your time to make any more adjustments or fix any weird-looking angles. For displayed. It seems like the flat bottom is a little bit too harsh for the cursive and round shape of the plate. So let's add a curved line on the bottom and feel what's left of the bottom. And with this, the shape of the plate is finished and it is time to give it some color, variety and volume. For that, you will have to go to the layers and alpha lock the layer of the plate. Now, because we will start with an element of design, Let's grab once more the dark color from the corner to have better control over the lines created. You can adjust the position of the canvas just so the plate can stay in a vertical position. Now let's create a line over the orange side of the plate parallel with the top edge. Make the line closer to the top edge. After this is done, the orange color of the plate is ready for some light and shadow. So let's grab from the color palette, the intense orange color from the bottom, middle and from the brushes, the textured QV brush. Now because we want to apply the texture color only on the orange side of the plate. You will need to use the selection tool on automatic and select only the orange side of the plate. After the selection has been made, grab the brush once more. And now starting from the left side of the plate, apply this intense orange color to the left side as that side is the one that will be in the shadow. After a couple of passes, you can change the color into the yellow one and create the light side of the plate. Make sure you keep the dark orange color for the left side and the light yellow for the right side. If the orange color of the plate has been covered completely, you can reapply it to the center of the plate in order to regain the beautiful color transition. Now, as for the vase, we want to make the shape of the plate to pop out of the illustration. So let's use the intense red color as a stronger shadow for the left edge of the plate. Don't go too far with this color and try to limit the surface covered to the edge. Baby moving a little bit under the left side of the plate as well to intensify the shadows. And with this, the orange side of the plate is finished. And there is one more thing left to do. Let's firstly, under the selection of the orange color. Now you will want to select only the tiny design line from across the plate. This line will look like silver line in no time. So let's grab from the color palette, the darkest gray color from the right side. And now grabbing the brush, you will apply this gray color only on the right side of the line. Make sure you take just a little bit of distance from the right side as well. After this gray looks saturated and intense in the middle, you can go further and grab the lightest shade of gray from the top and add it to the center of the last gray color to signal the strong light reflecting on the small silver line. A couple of more passes, and the plate is ready to welcome the delicious dessert. So let's undo the selection made. Look at how nicely the plate matches the vase from the back. Now let's get into some bakery. 10. The Eclair - the bakery: In this step, you will begin preparing the desert that will be displaced on the plate created previously. The first thing you need to do is to go to the Layers and create a new one on top of the plate. After this is done, let's make sure the inking brushes ready for drawing the shape, the colors used for the bakery, or the cream colors from the right side. Let's start with the middle beige color. As you can see, these colors were used previously for the background. And this will have the composition harmonized even better. Now let's begin by creating on top of the plate as simple wide trapeze, starting with a two sides and then adding the bottom and the top. After the four sides of the trapeze are placed, you can fill a shape with the same color. Now that you have the main shape, you can start developing the volume. So let's start by adding on each side of the trapeze half of a circle and fill the two shapes. After this, you can turn the canvas to have a better position in order to add to the bottom a little bit more volume to make the bakery look fluffy and delicious. And of course, let's add a little bit more to the top. Of course, this can be made with the move tool set on warp as well. So make sure you choose the method you find suitable for your working style. And with this, the shape of the bakery is done. Let's now play inside the shape to create some tasty textures. For that, let's go to the layers and pressing on the layer, select the Alpha Lock option from the panel. Now, from the color palette, you will want to pick the darker shade of badge from the top. Now you are ready to trace some beautiful horizontal stripes across the bakery, living from inside the shape and making the lines wider as they go to the right in order to create a sense of volume. These lines don't need to be perfectly parallel. Four or five lines will cover enough of the surface and create that emblematic Eclair fluffy Luke. And now it is time for some textures or the textures, you will use the selection tool set on automatic to firstly select a light color of the bakery. After all the light cream color is selected, you will pick from the color palette, the dark green badge from the top, and from the brushes, the lovely textured brush. Now, very lightly apply some of these textured color over the bottom side of the bakery. Very lightly going from left to right, just to break the flat look of the color. For the bottom of the Eclair. You can use even this dark brown from the bottom left side to suggest a little bit of a shadow. Just a tiny bit more dark beige color. And now it is time to undo the selection made of this color and make a new selection of the stripes created across the bakery. Let's pick up the brush and select from the color palette, the brown from the bottom left. And now lightly go over these lines, creating an uniform textures over them. Keep applying this color a couple of times until the stripes become a bit more brownish. With this, the baked size of the Eclair is done and your dessert is ready for a delicious stuffing. So let's jump into the next step. 11. The Eclair - delicious glaze: In this step, you will create a delicious chocolate coating for the tasty Eclair. So let's start by going to the layers and unmake the alpha lock down for the cake. After this, you can go to the color palette and pick the Brown used previously for the textures. And from the brushes, you will pick the inking brush in order to create the contour of the coating. This coating will cover the top side of the Eclair and we'll have a melty and delicious look. Let's start with the left side of the Clare with a curved line to signal that this creamy chocolate cover is covering the back as well. And then you can continue the line in front of the Clare, making a wiggly line till the right side of the bakery. Now let's trace the top of the cream with a straight line reaching the right side of the cream. And after this, you can feel the shape created with the same delicious brown color. After the entire shape of the tapping is done, it is time to give it a glaze, shiny look. For that, you will need to use the selection tool on automatic to make a selection of the chocolate glaze. And now let's change the color into this caramel like neons from links to the brown. Now using the same brush, you will trace across this brown color a couple of stripes, starting with a white one on top, making this glaze extra shiny. And now underneath the first, you will add two more lines to make it look extra lazy and textured. After this, you can get a little bit closer and add tiny shiny spots on the brown color. Just the base of the glaze where it gets those tiny drippy edges. These tiny details will make the final result look extra delicious and appetizing. So try not to skip this at the end under the selection made of the tapping. And now that the delicious coating is finished, it is time to create some even more appetizing decorations on the top of the chocolate coating. This will take the desert at a completely mouth-watering level of deliciousness. So let's go to the color palette and grab the beautiful light gray color from the top right side. And now it is time to make some thin and very decorated results. So starting from the left side of the coating, coat down and then backup with some curved lines. Press harder or lighter on the pen in order to obtain different level of thickness for these delicious results. Start from the top pressing lightly, descend, pressing harder, and then go back up gradually applying less pressure. After the three curved shapes are then, take your time to make these lines extra beautiful and eye-catching. You can add a bit more to their thickness on the lower side in order to make these results look more hardy and consistent. Make sure that the lines from the top are curving slowly down in order to make them look like they are going in the back of the desert. And they are not present only in the front side. These curved lines don't need to be perfectly smooth as they are actually quite small and liquid. After the main shape of the results is done, you are ready to cast a little bit of shadow on them to give them a sense of volume. So let's use the selection tool on automatic deselect the delicious results. After they're all selected. Let's grab back the oman brush and pick from the color palette, this light cream color from the bottom right side. And now getting closer, apply this subtle shadow on the bottom of each U-shape. Letting the brush make interesting and free-flowing shadows, keep the top side of the results out of shadow. You can as well, added over the top of the tree cells where they go to the back of the Eclair. And now you will make this Eclair look even more mouth-watering by adding some small details. So let's go to the color palette and grab once more the light gray from the top. Now, following the direction of the results, create small lines over the chocolate. By adding these small sprinkles of cremate results, you will make the desert look much more realistic and appetizing. And with this, your delicious Eclair is getting closer and closer to its complete form. Because we love our deserts, extra fluffy and heavenly good. Let's get into the next step to fill this Eclair with some gorgeously looking whipped cream. 12. The Eclair - frosting filling: And now it is time for the delicious whip cream feeling. You will see how easy and interesting it is to work with layers. Let's firstly make sure the layer of the glare is selected. Now let's go to the top and click on the selection tool and make sure that the Freehand option from the bottom is selected. After this, you are ready to cut the glare into pieces using the free hand option. So leaving from the left side, you will trace a line on top of the Eclair crossing to the right side of it. And then with the same line, you will cross the middle of it, reaching the point from where you started and pressing the white button. And now that there has been a selection of the top side, you will create a copy of this part of the desert by pressing the Copy and Paste button from the bottom. And now you have obtained a new layer with the top of the desert to reveal it, use the move tool on the uniform and drag it on the top of the desert. And just like that, the top of the Clare is on a separate layer, then the bottom one. And you can now place a beautiful layer of whipped cream between them. But first of all, you will need to go back to the original layer of the desert and using the eraser, you will get rid of the top side that was left between the two. And just like that, your Eclair is ready to be filled with some delicious width cream. So let's go to the layers and selecting the layer of the top side, use the move tool on it to drag it closer to the bottom side. Let's end the selection tool now, and let's go to the layers to create a new one between the two pieces of Eclair. And now you are ready to create the shape of the whipped cream. So let's firstly pick the elegant inking brush and then choose from the color palette, the most light color from the top right side. And now starting from the left side of the desert, trace a line on top underneath the layer of the top. Now going back to the left side creates some white U-shapes inclined a little bit to the left side. Keep on repeating the shape until you reach the right side of the Eclair. At the end, use the eraser to get rid of any extra weird looking edges. And then you can start filling. Inside the contrary, you have created each of these beautiful whipped cream ornaments. At the end, use the eraser to get rid of any extra weird looking edges. Make sure the two ends of the whipped cream are nice and curvy. Now that this lovely frosting shape is finished, you can create some gorgeous patterns in this delicious failing. So let's firstly use the selection tool on automatic to make a selection of the feeling. And now let's pick from the color palette, the gray color from underneath the white. And now let's get closer. As for the beautiful results from the top of the desert, you will want to create some consistent shadows on the bottom of each lovely curve, making them look like some beautiful waves going to the right side. After you are done shadowing the underside of the whipped cream, it is time to create a simple shadow just underneath the top half of the Eclair. Making this line wobbly and irregular, just like the cut many through the Eclair. Going back to the left side of the cream, you will create in the whitespace left free to more concentric lines following the same direction as the shadow from underneath. Let's slowly move to the right side, making sure each of that delicious creams, swirls is nicely captured by this gray color. Very simple and fun to make this whip cream. It really took this desert to the next level. Now, at the end, you can unmake the selection of the white cream. And using the eraser, you can create small cuts into the edge of the cream in order to make them a little bit less symmetrical and repetitive. And maybe more interesting. Look at this beautiful Eclair, how fluffy, lovely it looks. And with this, your delicious Eclair is done. And you are ready to welcome the next star of this illustration, and that is the ice cream. Let's jump into the next exciting step. 13. The Ice Cream Cup: The illustration is so close to being perfectly finished and ready to be enjoyed. But before that, we need to welcome the second desert of our illustration. And that is a cup of tasty ice cream. Before starting to build the shape of the cup. Let's firstly go to the layers and having the layer of the Claire tab selected, press Merge Down until the Eclair is placed on one single layer. After that, having selected the layer of the Eclair, you can use the move tool on the uniform to better place it on the plate and maybe make it bigger or smaller to better fit the plate and the composition. And now you are ready to create the cup. So let's add one more layer on top of the last one, preparing for the cup for the ice cream. Let's firstly go to the color palette and pick this middle grade from the right side. And of course, because we will create the contour of the shape, you will need the Amon brush from Inking. And now we can create this cup on the right side of the Eclair right over it. Don't worry, we will later reposition it. Let's firstly trace the bottom of the cup as a straight line about half of the size of the Eclair. And now let's trace the two sides as two vertical lines going at a slightly wide angle. To close the shape, all you need to do is to trace a line on the top side and fill the shape with color. After the shape is filled with color, you can use the eraser if there are any lines that go out of the counter. As you can see, the shape does not look perfect. And that is okay. Perfection is not what we're looking for. Of course, you can use the move tool on warp on the cup to correct any kind of irregularities. And to give it a slightly more interesting shape. For this one, it feels like the two top corners could be a bit more edgy and perky. After you're satisfied with the shape of your cup, you can go to the layers and drag the layer of the cup between the background elements and the plate on which the Eclair stance. After this, you can use the move tool to adjust this position. Make sure the Cup sits nicely on the right side and there are no small details around it that can create conflict with its shape or look unpleasant. After a few more adjustments, the shape of the cup is ready to receive some beautiful light and shadow and some delicate design elements just like for the plate. So let's go to the layers and alpha lock the layer. After that. Let's go to the color palette and firstly pick the orange color use previously for the vase and the plate. Now let's create a line near the top edge of the cup, just like for the plate, but this time nice and straight. Don't make it too thick as this detail should look very fine and delicate. After the line is traced, you are ready to create the shadow and the light. So let's use the selection tool to select only the great color of this cup. Now that the selection is done, make sure the textured brush is selected from the textures. And then let's begin by creating the light with this white from the top. Now starting from the right side, progressively build this light until you reach the middle of the cup. Make sure you use vertical moves in order to create this slide. After the light is created, let's use the dark gray from the bottom to create a little bit of shadow on the left side, again, using vertical moves to create an even stronger shadow and texture. You can use the green from the top-left side as well. Borrowing just a tiny bit of color from the bushes. Just a tiny bit of dark gray in the middle. And the cup has received a nice and realistic looking volume. Let's under the selection now. And getting closer, make a new selection of the orange design line. This line will look like a gold line in no time by playing with a little bit of white and yellow on the right side of it. As for the previous design line, don't go to the right edge completely, leave just a tiny bit of space. After the white and the yellow light are placed on the right side. Use a red color to get the left side of the line much more contrasting and dark. And after this, the whole cup is finished and it is ready for the ice cream. If you want to bring any changes to the cup, this is the perfect time. Look at how beautifully the cup matches the white branches from the left and the delicious whipped cream filling of the Eclair. And now let's get into the last step and bring the ice cream to this delicious and sweet moment. 14. The Ice Cream - and the toppings: Look at how beautifully the composition looks. Now, everything that's left to do is to go to the fridge and bring the ice cream. Let's go to the Layers and create one more layer on top of the ice cream cup. To create the contrary, let's make sure the inking brush is selected. And let's pick from the color palette. Firstly, this gorgeous brown color, because we will start with some delicious chocolate ice cream nano to create this first scoop of ice cream, let's create a flat line underneath the top edge of the cup to the left side. And then a wide and a little bit curved line on top. You can make it as you want, a little bit flat or round. It doesn't really matter. In the end, it will look delicious no matter what. After the first scoop of chocolate ice cream is created, it is time to create the second variety. So let's go to the colors and pick the white from the top at the right side of the chocolates coupe, as before, create a flat line and then a wide semicircle on the top. Very simple to do. Let's fill the shape with the same color. And now, if you want, you can use the selection tool to select each of the scoops and play with their shapes in order to make them better fill the space from inside the cup. After you are satisfied with the shape of the two ice cream scoops, you can go to the layers and drag the layer of the ice cream underneath the layer of the cup in order to make them appear inside the cup. And now you can use the Move tool once more on the ice cream to make it sit even better in the cup. In this case, it looks like there is too much ice cream inside the cup until little visible outside. So let's use the move tool on uniform to bring them a little bit higher. Let's now and select the Move tool. And now it is time to play with some color on the two shapes to give some delicious flavors to this ice cream scoops. At first, Let's pick the textured brush and from the colors, this bright yellow from the top right side. And now use the selection tool to select the wide scope. Now, this will be some vanilla ice cream, so let's lightly pass over its entire shape with a little bit of this texture. And then you can focus on creating the bottom left side more intensely colored in order to bring the flavor color into this illustration, Let's bring one more dark tone to this vanilla scoop with this caramel neurons from the bottom left side. Just a little accent of this textured color will be enough to bring just a tiny bit more delicious flavor to this vanilla ice cream scoop. After you're satisfied with this first scoop, Let's undo the selection and make a new one of the chocolates scoop. For the chocolate flavor, you will create some intense orange highlights. So let's pick this beautiful caramel shade of orange and moving from top-left to write slowly bring that beautiful color into the shape of the scoop, slowly creating a gorgeous gradient. Let's now pick the intense orange color from the middle and applied only on the right side of the top to better signal the direction from which the light is coming. As you can see on the bottom left side, both of the ice cream scoops are much more intensely colored and dark. Now let's undo the selection of the chocolate scoop. Ice cream is done. Now let's not forget that any dessert look much more delicious and appetizing once you get those toppings to work. So let's go to the brushes and pick the Amon brush. Because caramel is delicious choice when it comes to toppings, you can use the orange color from the bottom left side. Now, as for the ETE layer, let's create some wiggly lines across the shape of the ice cream, following the round shape of it. Remember to press lighter or harder in order to obtain some small variations. So you can give that beautiful, sticky, delicious look. Repeat the movement. Covering more and more of the two tabs, making the lines thinner as they get near to the edges of this coops. Getting to the right side of the ice cream. Keep on drizzling some of these caramel tapping and make sure you let it drip on the sides of the ice cream. And on the front of it, two more lines on the right side. And now the caramel tapping is ready for a little bit of shadow as well. So let's use the selection tool to select each of these eye-catching drips of goodness. After all the lines have been selected, let's pick from the color palette, the dark brown from the bottom left side. And now using this color very scarcely, you will color the bottom side of this lines to bring a little bit of shadow onto them. Just like you've done for the frosting and the delicious Eclair tapping, create this shadow to give a 3D look to the shape and make it detach from the shape of the ice cream. After all these ribs have been shadowed, the delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream and Stan. And the illustration is complete. Look at how beautifully the shapes and the colors are harmonizing into this delicious and eye-catching composition. Thank you so much for taking this Procreate illustration class.
