Adorable Flower Garden Creature: A Procreate Drawing Class for Everyone

1. Introduction: Hello everyone, I am uni and into this class we'll draw a cute flower recheck. This class doesn't require any prior experience or fancy tools. We'll start from scratch and we'll be using simple techniques throughout the process. Everything you'll see will be happening in Procreate. However, if you have other software or wants to try traditional materials, you are welcome to join if you are ready to start, Let's jump right into it. 2. Making a Scheme: Let's start our class by deciding what kind of Canvas we are gonna be. Then you can see it is a very simple standard square canvas because both pixel width and pixel height are 2048 big subs. If you would like to use any other dimensions for your canvas, just go for it. S for DPI, we are at 300 and aesthetic color profile. We are using sRGB with this low number. When it's all done, let's hit Done and it will be redirected to our new canvas. Now, if you would like to use the same colors that you will see throughout the whole class. Please go to the project and resources tab and download the materials in 20 did it. Let's get straight into our color palettes and let's check out what we have here. Here we have two options of how we can use the colors, the compact view and the carts. We will go straight into the cars because we can see here that we have all the colors, names, and it will be easier for us to follow along. And while we are still here under our color palettes, Let's select our first color that we will use for this kitchen parts. You can select any color that will be seen onto your canvas. Or if you want to follow along a ledger, select the color within the lines, one, when you have your new color, Let's just go and select the brush for this kitchen part. So we are going to Art Brush Library and we are going to this kitchen folder here. We can select alien brush that you like. You can just go through them, try them out on say, your Canvas, find what works for you and when you are satisfied with your brush, with your color, we will start by creating a very simple shape that will help us to structure our canvas, the beats, and find the composition that will work with our illustration. In general, we need some structure because firstly, it might be a little bit overwhelming to start from the blank canvas. And secondly, our brains and eyes, while looking at the picture, tend to search for familiar patterns. That means we don't want our objects to be scattered randomly along the canvas. We want them to be grouped in some logical way. So it makes the picture more pleasing to the eyes without going too deep into the composition theory, we can start with any simple shape. And now it's triangles, circle, rectangle, etc. And when we have a guide in the form of simple shape, we can position all of our elements more easily. So let's just go and start creating our illustration by creating a shape of the ellipse, we will go to our Canvas. We will adjust the size of our brush to our liking. If we want to adjust the opacity of the brush, we will go to the slider on the bottom. We will start very easily by going to the canvas and create an egg shape of the ellipse. And we will do it just with one line without lifting up our Apple Pencil. So let's just go and try it out. So go to the Canvas, loop your shape around, and hold your Apple pencil. You will see that you snap your sheep to a better one. Now you have this perfect Alice. If you want to adjust the size, move your Apple pencil from side-to-side. If you need to rotate it a little bit, move your Apple pencil in a circular direction. If you want to adjust the shape even more, lift up your Apple Pencil and lead you to the top part where we have this little option ellipse. Let's just tap on it. If it's not saying ellipse to you, you can just go there and find the ellipse in the Options. If you still don't have this option to write out one more time, create your shape, and then go to this Edit and modes. Here. In the editing mode, you can see that we have some nodes. They are blue and we can just go to them and we can tweak that. E.g. alleges go and make our little shape a little bit more chubby. When you have something like that, Let's position it right in the center. So we will go to some blank space onto our canvas, will hold our Apple pencil there, and we will just move our shape. If you want to adjust your ellipse in any way, you are welcome to do it. For this class. Let's just make it a little bit tilted toward the left side. When you write down a linear shape, just tap on the screen with one of your fingers or with your Apple pencil and you will get away from the editing mode. And now if you accidentally skip this part or if you want to adjust your sheep even more, we can go to the transform tool, which is our arrow key on the top-left. So then just tap on it and let's explore it. When you tapped on your arrow key, you will see that now you have a bounding box around your object, and also you have a little panel. On the bottom panel, we will select uniform methods and S for the bounding box, if we want to make our shape a little bit bigger or a little bit smaller, we can go to one of the nodes. So e.g. the one that we have on the top right, we can hold our Apple pencil there and we can move it diagonally up or down depending on what we want to do with our shape. If we want to rotate our object, we will go to the green node over the top, and we will hold our Apple pencil there and we will move in a circular direction. So if you need to rotate it, go to this green node and adjust your sheep. If you need to move your shape toward the center or somewhere else, you can do the same thing as we did in the editing mode. So we will need to go to some blank space onto our canvas, hold our Apple pencil and just move it. Holding it. When you're satisfied, adjusting your shape. Ledgers deselect everything by hitting our arrow key. Now when we have our first shape, we can continue by defining other areas that we will need to add to our sketch. And today we are creating a very cute garden creature. And we will start by defining the place for our little flower. Let's just go to the top part and we will create another ellipse. And this time it will be aligned horizontally. We can create this new shape over this soap in two different ways. The first one is just to go and manually try to create this shape. Or if you want to adjust it, you can just go and try to create it even more. You can play around with the shape. You can explore it if you want to do it in the same way as we did before, we will just go over the top and we will create the shape just with one line. We will hold it at the end and we will go over the top to edit shape. Basically what we need to do is to create a tilted shape. And we don't really need to be very precise with these lines that we have created for our composition. If we are somewhere near them and if we are somehow following them, we are good to go. If you want to go beyond the frames, Go for it. If you want to put them right inside your shape, you are welcome to do it too. So what we basically need to do is to create a tilted sheep. And we will need to feel one-third to one-half of the whole shape with this new shape and this shape we will use to create a flower. So play around with the shape, find what works for you. And when you're done, let just tap on the screen and we will get away from the smoked. When we have these sheep, we will need to find its center. So in that way, we can go and create the petals. Ledgers go and rotate our canvas so it is facing us and we will go and create one line that is vertical and one line that is horizontal, and they will go to the approximate center. Let's just go firstly over the top and we will create this line. Hold it and the answer, if you need to adjust the angle, just move your Apple pencil. If it's not in a sensory, don't worry, we will go over that. So up to this line option and we will position it in the center. When you are done with this line, which is vertical, I just tap on the screen and let's go and create the same thing, but this time it will be horizontal. So hold your line and the ants adjust the angle. If you need to, adjust it even more and position it more to the center, go over the top to editing mode, find the position that works for you. And when you're done, tap on the screen and now we have an approximate center on this top shape. Ledgers go and create the middle part of the flower. For now, we can just go and create another ellipse like that. You can play around with the shape if you want to create it with the quick shape to just hold your land at the ends and adjusted even more if you're not satisfied with your sheep from the first try to write out one more time. Try to position it somewhere in the center. And when you are done, we will need to create the guiding lines for our petals and we can do it manually. So let's just get to the center. And from the center we will start creating soft curves along the whole shape. They will represent our petals. So you can try to create as many as you like. When you are satisfied with their amounts, we need to go and start creating our little creature that is hiding underneath this flower. We can do it on the same layer. Or if you want to explore some tools that Procreate has, we can go and create one more layer. I go into the layers we are tapping on the plus icon to create a new layer. If you want to rename it, you will tap on the layer and you will choose Rename. Later on, we will merge all the layers together more likely. So it actually doesn't matter if you are a naming your layers. Now when you have a new layer, we will go to the bottom left corner and we will start very easily by creating a shape of the perfectly round circle. Let's just go and try it out. We will do it just with one line without lifting up our Apple pencil. Hold your line and the hands and also hold one of your fingers on the screen, you will see that you snap your shape to a perfectly round circle. And if you need to adjust it, live just on hold everything and we won't go over the top to circle menu. Now let's position it a little bit higher. So our boards and part of this elements touching the bottom of our main shape. And we need to overlap our little shape on the bottom with the shape that we have for the flower. So if you want to adjust the size, you will between these little notes that you have in the editing mode, hold your Apple pencil there and just move it toward the sides. When you have the size that you like, when you have the position that you like, Let's just go away from the editing mode. And now when we have this perfect around circle ledgers go and adjust the sheet. We will go to our arrow key on the top-left, which is our transform tool. And this time we will use the option where you can see when we are choosing work option. Now we don't have this bounding box slides, but we have some lines inside these elements. That means that we can go to any line that we have onset these Warp tool and we can adjust our shape. So e.g. let's start from the top. We will use to our notes and we will go to the right one. Firstly, we will move it somewhere in the center. You can see that you are adjusting your sheep in a more peculiar way. And when you have the data on the right, let us move on to the left and we will do the same thing here. So we are making that so part a little bit squished when you are satisfied with the shape, Let's move on to the bottom and we will turn it a little bit up. So firstly, you went to the middle part and just dragging it up and creating some kind of a drop shape. If you want to adjust this size, you can just go to the sides and adjust them. If you want to go to the bottom and adjust this nodes on the bottom and make your whole shape bigger. You are welcome to do it. Now it's your time to play around and find the shape that works for you, the rounder you make it, the cuter it will be when you're satisfied with the sheep, we can go to the uniform method. And if we want to rotate it or make it bigger or smaller, we know what we need to do. So let's just play around a little bit and find the position of this element that we would like. And when you're satisfied with your shape, with its position, with its rotation, let's just deselect everything by hitting our arrow key. And now we can continue by going to the bottom on the shape and creating little legs. Let's just go over the left side. We will start by creating a little element like that. You can play around with its size. You can play around with this position if you want to make it more smooth. And if you want to connect this in any way with the whole body, you can go to the side and make this line that you have for the leg a little bit more sloppy when you have the first leg, Let's move on to the opposite side and let's try to create another one. So we will basically repeat the same sheep. Don't worry if now it looks not quite goods. We will adjust, our shapes, will adjust the whole sketch later on so we can fix some places. Basically now we are deciding where we need to put our little elements. And when you are done, agentless little legs, you can see that our whole illustration is not looking balanced. That's because we have a lot of visual weight over the left side and a right part is pretty blink. So that means that we will need to add something here and that way we can balance everything out. So let's just go to this right part and we will add some little leaves here. We will start from the bottom and we will create a guiding lines going up. And when we have this guiding line, we will just go to the right side and we will create the lemon shapes like that. You can make one big one, a little bit smaller. All you need to do is to visually make the similar weights that we have on the left side. You can see that now it looks better, but still we have some blank space over the right part on the bottom. So let's just go and add something here, e.g. we can go and add some lines that later on we will turn into flowers, Land jazz, go and create another guiding line like that. It's over it. We will create some sheet that will remind us over flower. If you want to make some elements on the left side, you are welcome to do so. E.g. we can go there and mirror this element that we have for the flower and add another one here. Now, when we figured out what we're gonna be doing, if you want to adjust some elements, you are welcome to do it. If you want to come up with a different composition, again, you are welcome to do it. The last thing that we will add here will be a little elements on the bottom. And again, it will be Alito ellipse that will represent the grounds where our little creature is sitting on land. Just go to the bottom and very easily we will just go and create another ellipse here. Hold it and the Yan's a jazz the angle, if you need to adjust it even more and go over it, it's up to ellipse, play around with the shape, play around with the size of it. Play around with the openness of this little olives that you are creating. It's all up to you. When you are done adjusting it, just tap on the screen and let us get away from the editing mode. Now, if we take a look at the whole picture in general, we can figure out that maybe it is too big for us. So firstly, we will need to go to our layers. And as we have two layers for our elements, ledgers go and merge them together. We will go over the top layer, we will tap on it and we will choose merge down. And now everything that we have for our little exploring of the sketch is on one layer. Now we can go to our arrow key. We will go to the uniform methods and we will make this whole illustration a little bit smaller. Let's just go towards our right corner that we have on the top and we will drag it down. When you're satisfied with the size ledgers, move it toward the center. And when you are done with this task, we are done with our preparations for the sketch. In the next part, we will create an actual sketch. 3. Making a Sketch: Let's begin this part by going to our layers. And firstly, we will create one more layer for our actual sketch in parts. So let just tap on the plus icon and straight away, we will rename this layer as kitsch. So we will need to tap on the layer and we will need to select Rename from this list. Now let's get back to our previous layer and we will rename it as scheme. So one more time we are tapping on the layer and choose rename. And while we're still here under our leaguers ledgers go to this layer with this scheme and we will change the opacity level of this layer. And that means that we still want to see what's happening onto this layer, but we don't really want it to be very disturbing and very bright. So let's just go to this icon onto the layer with this scheme. And here on the top you can see that we have this slider with opacity. We can grab it and we can move it toward the left side. Find the opacity level that works for you. You still need to see what's happening onto the layer when you are down leg just tap on the skin layer to get away from these literalists. And now let us get back to earlier with this gauge. And we will start by going over the top and we will recreate this middle part on the flower if you want to go to the color palettes and if you want to select a different color, so maybe it'll be easier for you to navigate through your sketch. You can go and select any color that you like. So e.g. let's select the color within the lines to when you have selected here in your color. If you want, you can go to your brush library. You can change the brush, you can adjust its size, you can adjust its opacity. It's all up to you when you are ready. Ledgers go to this middle part and we will create another element here. So you can go and repeat what you have onto your scheme. Or if you want to adjust it in any way, you can go and do that. So e.g. you can not create your line just with one straight line. You can go and create some bumps. And in that way, you will recreate this part that will remind us the middle part of the flower. So work onto this element when you are satisfied. If you want to adjust some parts, grab an eraser tool and adjust them. If you want to add some additional elements inside the shape, you are welcome to do. So e.g. you want to add some little lines like that. And it will be represented that this part in the middle is not flat. It has some texture. When you are done with this little part in the middle, Let's just go and work on our petals. And we can do it manually by going along the whole shape and creating our drop shapes of the petals. But also we're going to use one option that Procreate hats. Let's get to the Wrench icon over the top-left, we will go under Canvas and we will Togo drawing guides. When you did it, you will see that you have the Greek going through the whole shape of your canvas. And to be honest, it's not the option that we need. So we will need to go under Edit Drawing Guide. On the bottom you can see that we have a panel and we will need to go under a symmetry. When you turn the symmetry on, you will see that you have just one line with two dots and we need to adjust it a little bit more. So we are given under Options and we will need to select radial here, you will see that your scheme changed. And also we will need to get back to our guide options and we will need to turn on rotational symmetry. When you did it, we will need to grab this blue dot that we have in the middle and we will need to drag it to the intersection that we have owns our flower we have created before with one language is vertical, with one line which is horizontal. So lets just grab these little blue dots and we will drag it to the center. If you want to rotate your scheme, you can go to the green nodes and rotate it. If you don't want to do that, we are ready to go to the top-right and we are ready to hit Done. And now we will go over the top of our flower and we will start creating their first petal. And you will see how easily we can create the rest of them with these two. So what we need to do is to go to the top or to any area that is comfortable for you. We will start by creating a shape of the drop. You can play around with its size and you can play around how much you want to overlap it with the other elements. If you want to hold your Apple pencil at the end of the line and snap it to a shape of the olives. You are welcome to do it. If you want to play around and maybe try it one more time, you are welcome to do it too. So when you are done with creating your patterns, we will need to go and turn off our option of assisted drawing. So let's just go back to our orange icon over the top-left, go and under Canvas and we are turning of drawing guides. Not enough to be honest. So if we get back to our canvas and if we try to create something here, you will see that we are creating multiple sheets. So we will need to go to our layers and we will need to turn it off manually. We are going to earlier with this sketch and you can notice that now it is assisted. So let's just tap on the layer and we will need to select Drawing Assist from the list. If we get back to earlier right now, you will see that we are not created multiple shapes. So now ledgers grab our eraser tool and we will adjust the sheep. You can play around with how you want to overlap your objects and erase the parts that you don't need to ledgers, grab the eraser tool and very easily go and erase the parts that we don't need. When you are satisfied with your petals pattern, Let's just go and adjust our shapes. So if we take a look at our scheme right now, our flower is not fitting into the scheme that we have on the top, so we will need to go and adjust it. Let's just go to our arrow key on the top-left and we will go under distort option. Firstly, we will go over the top-left corner. We will hold our Apple pencil there and we will move it a little bit down. You can see that now we are adjusting their perspective and we will need to go over all of the corners and try to fit it in on the sheet that we had on to our scheme. So let's just go and play a little bit with it. If you want to adjust it even more, we can do under Warp and we can play with our scheme right here. So e.g. let's just pull this top part a little bit down. When you're done playing with your shape and adjusting it changes, deselect everything by heating our arrow key one more time. Now we have our flower, but let's work on it a little bit more. We will go to the bottom part of every petal and we will add some dividing lines, one or two. So let's just go for a slit or the top one, and let's create a few lines like that. Now we will go to every puzzle that we have and we will go along them and we will add a few lines tried to keep the same angle that we have for our petals. When you are done with this task ledgers go and we will create one more leaf for our creature underneath the flower. So we are going back to our list and we are tapping on the plus icon. If you want to rename this layer, you are welcome to do it with actual. Later on we will merge all those sketch layers together so it might not be worth it. Now when we have our new layer, Let's just go underneath the flower and we will repeat this sheep that we have owns our scheme. You don't need to repeat everything with 100% of similarity. If you want to adjust some places, you are welcome to do it. When you are done with the main shape, Let's move on underneath it and let's repeat the legs that we have here. Again, you don't need to repeat everything similarly to what you have on your scheme, you can adjust the lines, you can make smooth connections, or you can add some details. So e.g. you can work on the boards and parts and maybe add some kinds of tos. Let us go and work onto our left leg. Firstly, make a smooth connection between the shapes and when you have your first lack, Let's move on to the opposite side and let's add another one. And when you are done with the legs ledgers go to the middle part. And we will start by creating our little arms. Before starting with the arms, we will need to go and find the approximate center on the whole creature. We know how to do that. We will need to create one vertical line and one horizontal. But as you can see, our creature is quite rounds. So these slides that we are going to be creating, they won't be just straight lines, they will be the curves. But the principle is the same. We are going over the top and we are starting by creating the curve, going down. When you have it, we will go to the middle parts and we will create another curve. You can hold it and the hands, you can adjust it in any way that she liked by going over this up to Edit Shape, find the center and when you have it, we will go over the left side. Firstly, we will create a first arm here. Let us go and create this shape of half of this circle, half of the ellipse, or maybe a little bit more than a half, we will go in the direction like that. You can start by creating our cell guiding line and then turn it into a little ellipse. Also, we would want to go to these parts and we will want to extrude it just a little bit. So let's just go a little bit farther from this slide and we will repeat it. Work on the sheep. If you need to adjust it in any way, you are welcome to do it. If you need to erase some parts, ledgers, grab our eraser tool and we will erase all the lines that we don't need. Now we have the first arm and let's move on to the opposite side and we will do the same thing here. But firstly, let's find out where we need to put this arm. So it is on the same line that we have our first arm on the bottom part, on this arm that we have over the left side. And from it we will just go along the whole shape and we will create another curve. You can hold it and the hands, you can adjust the angle if you need to adjust it even more. Go over the top to edit shape. Just put it under this arm that you have on the left. And when you have this line, we need to go over our right side and we will need to find the direction of this second arm. Let's just go and create the line going in that direction. You can play with the angle. You can play with anything that you want to play with here. And when you're satisfied with your guiding line, ledgers go right to this intersection that we have right here, and we will start recreating the shape of the arm similar to what we have over the left side. And this side are little arm is overlapped by the body. You just need to figure out how to merge it together. So it is looking not weird. We need to create just half of the ellipse. If it's not happening from the first try, try it one more time. If it's not happening from the second time, just write out one more time. If you need to adjust it in any way, just go and do that. If you need to erase some parts, just grab the eraser tool and erase these parts. When you're done with your little arms, you can go and add some additional elements. So e.g. we can go and add some lines that will be dividing our arm and will represent some fingers. You can do it on both arms, are on one arm. And when you are done with your arms, Let's move on to our facial features. And firstly, we will start by creating the ice. We will go to this horizontal line that we have near our arm and own it. We will start marking down where we are going to be aiding our ice. You can play around with the distance from the center. You can play around with their size, with anything. When you are satisfied with the position of this marks down, Let's just go and turn them into the ellipsis. You can play around with the size. You can play around with everything. You are welcome to create any shape that you like. When you have the outlines layer just go inside and we will shade our little eyes both on both sides when you have the eye. So let's just go over them and we will add little brows. So you can again play with the sheep, e.g. we can end up with little curves like that when you have your little eyebrows. Let's move on and we will add little mouth. So we will go right between the eyes. We will go to the same line that we used for creating this eyes. We will start by creating a little smile, if you like how it looks just with a smile, leave it as it is. If you want to adjust it in any way, you are welcome to do it. So e.g. ledgers go to the bottom and we will create the open mouth, play with the shape. And if you want ledgers go to the bottom and we will add another curve that will represent islet cell tank. If you want, you can go inside this shape and you can shade it. If you want to adjust the position of your elements, but they are on one layer, we can do it in that way. We can go to our selection tool, which is the S ribbon icon. Over the top-left, we can use the free hands methods. And if we want to select the area, we will just go manually and select it. It's around until only these shades that you want to select a selected. And when you have it, we will go to the arrow key, we will go to the uniform method and we will adjust the position of these elements. Or if you want to make it bigger or smaller, you know what you need to play around with the position of your elements. When you are done, deselect everything by heating your S ribbon icon one more time. When you are done with this task, Let's move on underneath the ice and we will add little ellipses for the cheeks. So we will go firstly or the left side and we will create a little element here. Let's repeat it underneath the opposite eye. If you don't want to add this elements, skip this part. If you want to adjust the shape, go and find the shape that works for you. And when you are done, we will go over the soap parts and we will erase this overlapping parts. Firstly, let us get back to our layers and we will hide just for 1 s earlier with the scheme, you will see clearly what we need to erase. So let's just go to this layer with our little creature. We will grab our eraser tool and we will go over this top part and we will erase the lines that we don't need. When you are done, let's get back to our layers and let's unhide our layer with this scheme. Let's move on to the next element, which will be our little leaves on the right. Let's start working winter this element the same way as we did with our little creature. So we will go through the list and we will create one more layer above. Let's tap on the plus icon. If you want to rename it, go for it. And now let us get back to our canvas and let's play a little bit with this shape. You can make it a part of the composition and put it behind. Or if you want, you can play around and add these little stem to the hand onto our creature. You decide what you want to do. Ledgers, getting back to our canvas and let's repeat this line that we have on to our scheme. Now let's add a little bit of volume to this line. So we will go a little bit to the side and we will repeat this same line. If you want, you can make it a little bit wider on the WhatsApp. If you need to erase some parts, grab the eraser tool and erase them. Now when we have this stem, Let's move on to the leaves. Let's repeat the shapes that we have onto our scheme. And if you want to adjust them in any way, if you want to add some twirl, maybe you are welcome to do it. Basically what we need to do is to repeat the shapes of the limits. When you have the first leaf, Let's move on and add another one. It's always better to go and overlap one shape around another shape rather than go and glue them together. So e.g. if we go to create the second leaf, it will be better to go and create it in that way. So later on we will erase this part, but it's better because it won't be touching our previous leaf and it won't create some tension between these two leaves. And it wants draw attention to this area. So let's just go and create another leaf. And when you are done, we will go and adjust that. Let's grab the eraser tool and erase the parts that we don't need. And then we will go inside of our lease and we will add some dividing lines. Grab your brush, and let's go to our big leaf. We will go to the bottom part and we will just go through the whole shape and we will repeat this line that we have on the site. When he had this slide in the middle, we will go to the sides and we will add a few more lines. You can play with a pattern on these elements. You are welcome to do whatever you want when you have this dividing lines on the first leaf, Let's move on to the second one and do the same thing here. Here we can start from the top and again go to the bottom and repeat the line that we have near the sites. When you have this line that is going through the center, Let's move on to this side and we will add this side divided lights. And so when you have this dam with two leaves, Let's move on to the bottom and we will feel some space here. So let's just go near this term and we will start by creating a few strands of the graphs. Just go along this stem and create a few elements. You can play around with their position, you can play around with their placement, with everything. If you have something like that's tried to avoid the touching, grab an eraser tool and try out one more time. Eating, need to erase some parts, just grab the eraser tool and erase that. We have these grass trends. Let's go and add our little flowers on the sides. Let us go. If you want to create one more layer, you are welcome to do it. Ledgers go to our layers and we will tap on the plus icon. Let's create this first flower that we have over the right side. You don't need to repeat how it looks onto your scheme. We just want to go between these two elements and we will want to end this flower right here. So let's start by creating a little stem. And when you have this term, let just go and create some flour. So e.g. we can go and create a few loops like that. Again, if you have some elements touching each other, just go one more time and try to avoid it. If you have some lines that you want to erase, go and erase that. When you have your first flower onto the right side, Let's move on to the opposite side and let's add another flower here. You can repeat the same shape that you have on the right, or you can play around and add something different as always, let's start from this term. And on the top, you can create any shape that you like. If you want to add some leaves, just go and do that. If you need to erase some details, grab an eraser tool and erase that. If you want to add some other elements, e.g. some grass, you are welcome to do it. Now let's go to this bottom area where our little creature is standing on. And we will add some additional elements here. Firstly, let's go to our layers and we will create one more layer if you want to rename it, go for it. And basically what we are going to be doing, we will be creating the shapes like that. On the top, we have half of this circle or half on the Ellis, and it's on the bottom. We have a straight line. We can create singular elements like that, or we can try to create some composition so we can overlap our shapes. Let's just go around this little area and we will add a few rocks, vary their size, vary their placement. And when you're satisfied with it, we will continue by adjusting our layers. So when you are done, agent here, little rocks allege us, get back to the layers and firstly, we will hide our layer with this scheme. We don't actually need it anymore. We will need to go and adjust our layers in accordance with their position. So we will need to go to our layer with the leafs. Firstly, let just find it and we will need to erase the parts that are overlapped by our flower because our flower is on the top. Ledgers grab our eraser tool and erase all the lines that we don't need. Now, we will go and do the similar things to all of our layers. If you see that some elements are overlapping and other elements find the layer and adjust this part. When you are done, Let's take a look at our illustration from the distance. So zoom out your canvas and let's just figure out whether we want to add some additional elements. We can go e.g. along the top part and add a few additional elements, maybe petals, maybe some sparkles, some flowers, anything that you want to add. But we will need to keep in mind that we are going in accordance with our scheme. And our scheme was just a little ellipse. If you need to go back to your leaves and if you need to turn on your skin layers so you will go in accordance with the line. You are welcome to do it. If you want, you can go and create one more layer and add this additional elements. Try not to overdo it. Just add a few of them. When you're done editing your additional elements. One more time where I go into our layers. We will hide earlier with this scheme and we will take a look at our illustration one more time. If you want to add any more details, you are welcome to do it. So e.g. we can go to our little flower and we can add a little drop of water here. You can go to any paddle that you like, and we will create the shape like that. Now, we will need to go to our layers one more time and we will need to merge all the layers that we have for our sketch. And we can do it in two different ways. The first one is to go to the top layer, tap on it and choose merge down. In that way, we will merge two layers together, but it is a little bit time-consuming so we can go and merge every layer that we need to merge just in one movement, we will put one of our fingers on the top layer, and the second finger we will put on the layer on the bottom, which belongs to our sketch, and we will make a pinch movements. And now everything that we have for our sketch is on one layer. One more time. Let's just take a look at the whole illustration. And if we want to adjust some parts, we will go to our Transform tool, which is our arrow key, and we will go to the word option. If you need to play around and adjust your escape, you are welcome to do it. If you want to make your illustration bigger or smaller or positionally differently, go to the uniform method and do that from here. And when you're done adjusting your escape, we are ready to move on to airline in parts. 4. Adding Clean Lines: Less than satisfied by going to our layers and we will create one more layer for this part. We will tap on the plus icon and straight away we will rename this layer as clean lines. So let's just tap on it and let's choose Rename. Now we will get back to our previous layer with the sketch and we will go and change the opacity level of it. We will tap on the icon. We will go to our slider with opacity. We will grab it and we will move it to where the left side. We still need to see what's happening onto earlier, but we don't need it to be that bright when you are satisfied with the opacity. Let's get back to our layer with Glean lights. Now, if you would like to go to the color palette and change the color of your brush. You are welcome to do it. So e.g. we can select the color within the lines one, if you want to keep the same color that you used for this cage, you are welcome to do it. Now when we have our new color or if we kept the previous one, we will go to the Brush Library and we will change the brush we are doing to the calligraphy folder and we are choosing monoline brush. And while we are still here into our brush library, we will go and make one change for our brush. Let's just tap on it. And on the left, in the brush user, we will select stabilization. You can see on the top we have the option streamline and it has the slider amounts. We can go to the drawing pad and we can play around with the low value of amounts. You can see that when you are creating a line, it falls your natural flow of the hands and it creates the line with a little bumps. We want everything to be as much smooth as it can. So we can just go to this amount option and we can adjust it. So e.g. let's for now centered as maximum and let's try it out on our drawing packed. You can see that you are creating a very smooth line. You are losing a bit of control over it. But if you go in a slower motion, you will have the better results. So you can play around with the amount of streamlines, find what works for you. If you don't want to use it, you are welcome not to use it. If you want to use it, find the amount and he'd done when you are ready. Now let's just go to our slider on the top-left. Let's adjust the size tried out onto your canvas, try to make it not too big, not too small. And too when you have the amount that is working for you, we will go and repeat what we have owns a sketch. You don't need to repeat everything with 100 per cent of similarity. If you want to change some parts, you are welcome to do it. All we need to do here is to create the closed lines. Close lines means that we don't have any gaps between our lives. So very easily allege us go and create our clean lights. If you have some objects that overlap each other. So e.g. this flower and this little hands over the right side, it might be easier to go to the Layers and create one more layer here. Create your illustration onto this little layer. Erase the parts that you don't need and then merge two layers together. When you are done recreating your main elements, Let's get back to our layers and we will hide our layer with the sketch. We will check out whether our lines are closed, smooth, and nice. If you need to adjust some parts, go and adjust that. When you are done adjusting your lines when everything looks smooth and clean, we will get back to our layers and we will unhide our layer with the sketch. We will create one more layer for our facial features. So let's just tap on the plus icon and let's rename this layer. We will go to the areas once our sketch and we will recreate what we have there. Eating it to make the eyes the similar size and similar openness, we can hold our lives and the ants go over the top to Edit Shape and then move the second i2, the first one adjusted in accordance with our first i, and then move it back to the needed place and the color to the inside part by dragging and dropping the color from the top right corner. For the cheeks, we can go to our color palettes and select any color that is pink, pink glide, or pink bright. And with this color, we will go underneath the eyes and we will add this color for the cheeks. Now while we are still here onto this layer, we will add our little time and a few highlights to the eyes. We can do it manually or we can use one to let us go back to our layers. We will tap on earlier with the facial features and we will choose alpha lock. When we are turning on alpha lock, we are working only on the existing areas that we have on to this layer. So if we have this color is set as being, and if we go with this color to the bottom part on the mouth, you will see how easily we can create our little tank. You will be adding the color only to the area that you have on your layer and not creating any more details. So let just go and add the tongue in that way. Now when we have our tank, Let's add the highlights to the eyes. We will use white color for that, and we already have white-collar onto our canvas. So we can invoke the eyedropper tool to select this color. To invoke this tool, we will need to hold one of our fingers on the screen and you will see a little too. If you move your finger, you will see that you are changing the color on the top of it. We will need to go and select the white color. You can see that your color changed on the top right. And when you have changed, ledgers go to our eyes and we will add the highlights. So firstly, let us go and increase the size of our brush. We will go to one of the quarters that we have over-the-top part. Two, we'll just put a little dot, e.g. alleges go over our left side. We will go to the top quarter and we will add a little dot here. If the size is not enough, you can just go and adjust the size of your brush one more time and try to put the dot one more time when you are satisfied with the size of your highlights, Let's move on to the opposite eye and let's do the same thing here. We will put it on the same quarter. If you want to add more highlights for the eyes, you are welcome to do it. And when we have these ledgers get back to our layers. We will hide our layer with this gauge and one more time we'll check out whether everything is looking quite nice. If everything is alright, we are ready to move on to our next chapter, where we will add our basic colors. 5. Adding Base Colors: Let's start our coloring part by changing the color of our background. So we will go to, our layers, will go to the background color layer. We will tap on it and we will find the color with the name Background layer, just tap on it and when you have your backgrounds, we will get back to our layers. And now we will need to decide how we are going to be aiding aren't colors. We have a few options. The first one is to add the colors on the same layer with our clean lines. In that way, we are just going over our top right corner and we are dragging and dropping the color to the needed place. But that might be not convenient because what if we would like to change the color of our lines? That will be quite problematic. So we will need to go and create one more layer. And onto this layer we will be aiding our colors. So let's just go to the layers we will go underneath earlier with a clean lines and we will create one more layer here. So let's just tap on the plus icon. Let's rename it as colors for flower. And now if we go and if we try to add the color to this layer, nothing good will happen. We will recolor the whole area. It's not what we need, so we will need to adjust our layers one more time. We are going back to the layers. We will go to our layer with a clean lines. We will tap on it and we will choose a reference. Now, if we get back to earlier with flower colors, and if we try to do the same thing as we did before, just by dragging and dropping the color to the needed area, you will see that it works. That's exactly what we need. Let's get to our color palettes and we will start with the color with the name yellow. Now, we will go over our top-right corner and we will drag and drop the color to one of the petals that we have on the bottom. With this color, we will recover it two more petals. So again, we go into our top right corner and we are dragging and dropping the color to the needed area or we can go over the top to continue feeling. When you turned on continue feeling, you can go to the area that you want to recolor and just tap on it. Now that easily, we will go to some other places. So e.g. the sparkles and who will recolor them with this yellow color? Let's just go inside the areas that we want to recolor and tap on them. If you want to recolor some other areas, you are welcome to do it. When you write down the Recolor and width this color, we will need to go to the soap to color drop, and we will need to tap onto this little checkmark. Now we are ready to select another color and recolor other elements. So e.g. alleges go again to our color palettes and we will select the color with the name bright pink. With this color, we will go and recolor the rest of the petals. So again, similarly to what we did before, we are firstly going over our top-right corner. We are dragging and dropping the color to the needed area and then hitting continue feeling entry color and the rest of the areas. If you want to recolor some other places, you are welcome to do it. When you are done with this part, going over the top to color drop and hitting this little check mark. Now let's get back to our layers and we will create one more layer for other elements. So e.g. we will go and color or a little creature. Let's create one more layer. We will tap on it and we will choose Rename, and we will rename it as creature colors. Now, going back to our color palettes, and we will select the color within the light blue. With this color, we will recolor the main shape of our creature. When we did it, we are going over the top to color drop little checkmark. It's happening it. And then we are going back to the list. We will create one more layer and we will recolor the rest of the areas. So basically we can create and you leave for every new elements or for every new color. Now let's just go to our layer with flower colors. And from it, we will tap on the plus icon to create a new layer and recolor the middle part of our flower. So you can go and rename this layer as middle part. Now let us get back to our color palettes. We will select this pink light color and we will drag and drop it to the middle area. If you would like to use this color for some other elements, you are welcome to use it. When you are done with this color, Let's just go over the top to color drop check mark and we will tap on it. When we are done with it, we are going again to our layers. We will create one more layer for our leaves. Let's rename it as leafs. Now, going back to our color palettes and selecting some color which is green, CMY, see and dark green, any color will work. And when you have selected the color, ledgers go over our lives and we will recolor them in the same way that we did before. Firstly, go over our top-right corner, dragging and dropping the color to some area and then selecting continue filling with this color. Let's recolor all of our leaf elements. If you want to end this, go to some other elements. You are welcome to do it. And when you're done, ledgers heat are a little check marks over the top. Now let's get back to our list and we will create one more layer and we will recolor the rest of the areas ledgers tap on the plus icon and let's rename this layer as miscellaneous. Now go to the color palette, select some color and recolor the rest of the areas. And when you are done with this task, we are done with our base colors. In the next part, we will beautified error vein. We will add some highlights, shadows, some additional elements, and it will look very nice. 6. Adding Gradients: Let's say this byte by played with our colors just a little bit. Now they look pretty plain, but we'd want to make our picture a bit more lively by adding some gradients or color blends to make it more pleasing to the eyes. But firstly, let's go and decide what is our light source. Light source could we assign or some lamp or anything that radiate slides? And depending on the light source position, some parts of our illustration will be exposed to the light and some of them will be in the shadow. And we can help ourselves to be consistent with lights and shades by drawing a little arrow that will show the direction of delights. Now, let us go to our layers. We will go above all the layers that we already have and we will tap on the plus icon to create a new layer. And when we have our newly, we will go to the top part, either to the left side or to the right side. It's up to you and we will create our little arrow. And when we have it in accordance with this arrow, the elements that are closer to it will be lighter and the elements that are farther from it will be in the shadow. So let's start agent are additional colors. Firstly, we will go to our layers and we will go to our layer with the name flower colors. We would need to set this layer as an alpha log. So in that way, we know that we are adding the elements then you elements only on the existing parts that we have on this layer. Let's just tap on this layer and let's select Alpha Lock from the list. When we did it, we will go and change our brush. So we are going to the Brush Library. We will go to the airbrushing folder and we can select either soft blend or medium blends. If I select a medium blends, Let's go to our left side, to the slider is and who will go to the bottom one and set the opacity of this brush somewhere 10-15% and 20 are done with this task, we will go to our color palettes and we will select the color with the name yellow. When you have this color, we will go to our flower petals on the top, which are pink right now, and buy goods from the center with a very little pressure, we will start adding a little gradient here. You can play around with how visible you want this part to be. If you already did just a little bit, grab this much tool and adjust the Egypt's. For this match tool. You can use any brush from the airbrushing folder or you can go to the project and resources tab and download the brush that were used in today's class. So now when we are done with aging this blend to the pink flower elements, ledgers go against our color palettes and we will select the color within a light yellow. With this color, we will go to the rest of our petals, which are yellow right now, and we will do the same thing here. Let's just go to them from the center and let's add another color to this part. And again, if you think that you overdid it a little bit, just grab your smudge tool and adjust the edges, make a nice blend between two colors. And when you are done, we will do the same with the rest of our elements. Firstly, let us get back to our layers and we will go to our next layer, which are middle parts. Let's select it, Let's tap on it and let's select Alpha Lock. When we isolate an alpha lock, we are working only on the existing elements that we have wanted. This layer. Let us go back to our color palette. And if you want, you can select the color with the same name, white, yellow, and go over the top part and a license or a tab. Or if you want to make it more interesting, on the bottom, you can select the color with a name, pink bright and edit to the bottom part. So it's up to you how you will adjust this color. And again, if you overdid it, grab your smudge tool and adjust the blend when you are done with these elements, let's again get back to our layers and we will go to our next layer, which is leaves. Let's tap on it and let's select Alpha Lock. When we did it, we are going back to our color palette and let's select the color with the name green. When you hand this color, Let's increase the size of our brush and we will go over that. So part of our leaves and we will add some blend here, try to make a smooth transition between two colors. If you want to add this color to other elements that are green, you are welcome to do it too. If you want to try and add the darker color, you can get back to your color palettes, Alexia and dark color, and go over the bottom part. When you are done with your leaves, Let's get back to our layers and let's go to our layer with a creature. We will do the same thing here. We will tap on the layer and we will choose alpha lock when we did it, we are going back to our color palettes and we will select the color within the lights, blue-green. With this color, we will go in accordance with our little arrow going from top-right. And we will add that color effect here, increase the size of your brush and very likely go from the top right and add this little transition. When you're satisfied with this transition, you can get back to your miscellaneous layer and adjust it to e.g. ledgers. Go tap on it, select Alpha Lock, and we will go over our flowers and we will add additional guides that if you want to work more once a year, little rocks or once it is flowers on this side, you are welcome to do It's to just go to the near that layer and I add additional color. When you're done eating your additional colors, we are finally ready to add the shadows. 7. Adding Shadows: Let's start adding the shadows in accordance with the arrow on the top. So basically, we will just go to the bottom part of our elements and we will add the shadows here. Let just go firstly to our layers and we will start from earlier with flower colors. Let's select it and let's create one more layer above it. So tapping on the plus icon and straight away, we will rename this layer as shadow. We will need to clip. This leads to a previous one. So we will know that we are adding the details only on the existing areas that we already have on the previous layer. So it works similarly to the alpha log, but it is on the separate layer. So let's just tap on this layer with our shadow and we will select clipping mask. When the layer is clipped, we will go and we will change the blending mode of this layer. Blending modes are different ways your layers can interact with each other. When you are changing blending modes, you can add different visual effects and we will need to select multiply blending mode for our shadow. To select a different blending modes, we will need to go to this icon near the checkbox. Here you can see that we have Alice and we will need to find multiply S for the opacity for now, let's leave it at 100 per cent. If you want. We always can get back to this option and adjust it later. Now when we are done with setting this layer, let us get back to our color palettes and we will select the color within the magenta when we have a new color, Let's just go and change our brush. We will go to the calligraphy folder and we will select either mono line brush or a brush pen or script brush pen and screen brush are very sensitive to the pressure. So when you are selecting the brush like that, you will need to pay attention of how much pressure you are adding to your Apple pencil when you are creating this line. If you are doing with high pressure, you will create something very thick. If you argue in ads, just pushing just a little bit, you will create a very fine line. You just said, what brush you are going to be using. If you're using monoline brush, it probably will be easier to get back to the brush studio, go into this stabilization and adjust the amount of streamline if you want to do that, do that. If you don't want to do that, just skip this part. When you add Dan ledgers, give it to this petal that we have on the bottom left. And we will start by going over the bottom part and recreating the land that we have for the outline. So let's just go there and very easily, we will try to recreate this line. You can use all the options and all the tools that we used before. So you can just go with a line, hold it and the yens. And if you want it adjusted your over-the-top to edit shape. Basically just start by recreating the outline and then Lynch's go over the top parts and we will elongate our little shadow. Now when we have these two lines, let just go and manually recolor the bottom parts. Now you probably can see that this shadow is too bright. So let's just get back to our layers. Ledgers go to earlier with the shadow and we will go to this little icon and adjust the opacity ledgers, grab our slider and move it toward the left until we are satisfied with the opacity. Probably something between 20, 25% will work best when you are satisfied with the opacity. Let's get back and let's adjust our shadow. E.g. we can create something different. We just can go to the top of our shadow and we can add some texture here. We don't really need to go with a very straight, very soft line. We can go and create something like that. In that way, we will show that our petal is not very straight. It has some texture. If you want to go and add some additional elements, maybe some dots, maybe some little lines you are welcome to do. It just creates a very nice shadow. Also, you can see that the petal that we have on the left is overlapping our petal on the bottom. So that will mean that we will need to add a little shadow underneath it to show that difference. So let just go there and create a little shadow. And also we will do the same thing underneath our middle part. So let's just go there. Entropy, the outline. In that way we are showing that some elements are higher and they will cast the shadow. So now we can go underneath this little drove that we have and we can add the shadow to, we need to go in accordance with our arrow that we have on the top. So probably our shadow will be on the left side. And the same thing here with our little element right here. Ledgers go to the left side and we will add a little shadow here too. And basically, that's what we're gonna be doing. We are looking at our arrow and we are creating our shadows in accordance with this arrow. So let just go across all of our pink elements and we will add the shadows in the same way. So firstly, let's just go over our left side. We will go to this petal, we will go to the bottom side and we will try to recreate the shade that we have for the petal. When you have the first curve, just increase the size of your brush and recolor these parts. If you want to make this line not straight at some bumps, go with your brush and add that. If you want to add some additional elements, some dots or lines, you are welcome to do it too. Now let's just take a look at our little arrow, and let's create a shadow onto these two lines in the middle in accordance with our light source, we will need to put them underneath these slides. When you are done with the second pattern, let's move on to the top and let's add the shadow here. Where will be our shadow? It will be on the labs and it will be a little bit here on the bottom parts. Adjust the shape, add some additional elements, add the shadow under this little line that we have in the middle. Now we are moving closer to our light source. So let's just give it to these two are remaining petals. And let's figure out where our shadow will be on these elements that we have right here. Probably we will have the shadow only on the boards and parts. So let's just go there and create just a little shadow. Let's add the shadow to this little elements in the middle, again, we are looking at our little arrow and creating this shadow in accordance with it. And let's go to the last petal and add the shadow here too. We are again going over the left side and we are adding a little shadow there. Play with the shapes of your shadows, add the additional elements. Do what you need to do when you are done with these petals that are pink. Let's move on to our yellow petals and we will go and change the color of our brush. We will go to the color palettes and we will select the color with the name yellow. We will go again to the bottom part of our elements and we will add our shadows the same way as before. Let's just start from the bottom. We will go underneath this part that we have for our middle parts, and we will add the shadow here. We will go to the bottom part and we will add the shadow here as well. The shadow to this lines that you have on this soap, look at your arrow and create the shadows. Work onto the lines and add the additional elements. Let's move on to the next petal, and let's add the shadow here as well, looking at our arrow and creating this shadow on the opposite sex. And for the last petal, ledgers go underneath these petals that are overlapping it. And we will repeat the shapes, play with the curves and the additional elements. If you think that maybe your opacity is not enough, you can always get back to the layers, go to the m, I can add a jazz the opacity level. When you are done adjusting your opacity level, we can do one more thing. We can solve shadows by going with a soft brush and adding a different color. So the same way as before. We will go to earlier with the shadow. We will tap on it and we will choose alpha lock. When we have selected Alpha log, we will go back to our brush library. We will go to the airbrushing folder and we will select either so bland or medium blends. When we have our brush selected, ledgers go over our shadows and we will soften them with the same color that we already have right now. This yellow one. We will give it to our pink petals. We will go over the top of our shadows and we will add the same color that we have for our yellow parts. Soften the shadows in that way. Or if you think that you want to change the color, you can go and do it in that way. We will go to the magic one tool or the top-left and we will go under hue saturation and brightness. Here you can see that you have three sliders on the bottom. And you can firstly play with saturation. If you increase the amount of saturation, you will see that your shadow is now looking more bright. It has more vivid color. If you go to the opposite side, you will see that now it looks great. So you can play with this option, or if you want, you can go to the hue and adjust the hue. You can see that if we are moving from side to side, we are changing the color of our shadow. Find what you like. If you want, you can play with the brightness slider to make it darker or lighter. If you don't want to play with hue, saturation and brightness, it's okay, just keep this part when you're satisfied with your hue saturation and brightness. Let's deselect everything by heating iron magic one tool, one more time. When you are done with this part, we need to go and continue edit our shadows. So let's just go to our layers. We will go to our middle part layer and we will do the same thing as before. We will create one more layer above. We will rename it as shadow and we will clip it to a previous layer. Now we are going back to our icon and we will go and find multiply blending modes. As for the opacity, you can leave it at 100 per cent for now. Or if you want, you can straight away go and adjust the value. Now, let us get back to our color palettes and we will select the color with the name pink bright. Again, we are using the brush from the calligraphy folder, monoline, or any brush that is brush, pen or scraped. And we will go to the bottom part and we will add the shadow here. Again, we will go with bumpy line. When you have your first-line, Let's move on to the bottom and we will recolor this area. If you want to add additional elements, some doors or lines, you are welcome to do it. Now let's get back to our layers and we will change the opacity level of this layer. We are going to the m, I can go into our opacity slider and finding what works for us. If he wants to change the color, you are always welcome to go to the magic one tool, to the hue, saturation and brightness and play with the color. When you're done playing with the color, deselect by going into your magic one tool, one more time. If you want to soften your shadow, again, you can get back to your layers. You can tap on your Layer and choose Alpha Lock. Go back to your brush library, go to the airbrushing, soft blend or medium blends. Select another color, e.g. yellow, and go above the top of this little shade that you have created for your shadow and soften it up. When you are done with this part, we are going back to our layers and go into the next layer. It will be leaps. So one more time selecting the layer, tapping on the plus icon, renaming the layer as shadows. Let's clear this layer to a previous one. Tapping, selecting, Clipping Mask you into an icon and select and multiply blending modes, leave the capacity to maximum or adjust the opacity streets away. Now when you are done with adjusting your LEA, get back to your color palettes and select the color within the sea and dark. We will go in accordance with our little arrow underneath our elements to the bottom part and age in our shadows. Going again to our calligraphy folder and choosing the brush that we like. If we had the elements on the tone that are overlapping or elements on the bottom, we will add the shadow underneath them too. When you're done eating the shadow, Let's get back to our layers. And if you didn't change the opacity level, Let's just go and change it. If you want to go and add the additional elements, some dots or lines, you are welcome to do it too. If you want to soften your shadows with another color, we are going back to our leaves. We are tapping on the layer with the shadows. We are using alpha lock. We are going back to our brush library, go into the airbrushing folder and select and soft blend or medium blends. We will go back to our color palettes and select another color, e.g. yellow. With this color, we will go over the top of our shadows and we will soften the color. If you want to soften the color even more or change a different one, we can go over the top to our hue saturation and brightness and adjusted here as well. And when you are done, just tap on your magic one tool to get away from this mode. Let's continue by going to our layers and we will go to the rest of our elements and we will add our little shadows. So e.g. we miss our little flowers on the sides. Let's get back to our layer that we use. For the middle part, we will go to early with the shadow. We will select the color for the shadow and we will add them with our little brush. If you're getting back to the leaves with the shadows that have Alpha lock turned on, you won't be able to add additional elements to this layer. So firstly, you will need to go to your layer and turn off alpha lock. And then you can easily go and add your shadows. When you add down with some additional elements, Let's get back to our creature and we will create one more layer above it. Let's rename it as shadow. Let's clear this layer to previous one tab and choosing clipping mask, go into an icon and select and multiply blending modes, change the opacity straights away or keep it as it is right now. Let us get back to our color palettes. And again, we will select the color within the magenta when you have it, we are going into the calligraphy folder. We are selecting our brush and we go into the boards and parts on the left and we will recreate the shape of our little creature. And again, we can start by creating a simple curve and then turn it into some interesting shape with the bumps. When you have the first line ledgers go and recolor the rest of the area. Now let's take a look at our arrow and we will see that our flower is overlapping our little creature. That means that we will need to add the shadow underneath our flower. And the same thing with our legs, because the body is overlapping them ledgers go to the legs and we will create little shadows to that. Just repeat the shape on the body. And also we will go to one side, which is our left side, and we will add the shadow to the legs too. We also will have a little shadow once the arm on the right and it will be on the bottom part. So let's just go and create a little shadow here as well. As for the arm that we have on the left. For now, let's just go and grab our eraser tool and we will erase this top part of the shadow. Let's create a nice soft shadow and we will continue it over the left side, LNG the line going over the right parts and erase the rest of the area. Now let us get back to our layers and we will adjust the opacity of this layer, go into the icon and dragging our opacity slider toward the left side. When you have the amount of opacity that you like. Let's get back to our layer and we will adjust our lives by turning them into the bumps. Ledgers go along the whole shape and create some peculiar shape. If you want to add some additional elements such as doors or little lines, you are welcome to do it. And now Lynch's soften our shadow. We will get back to our layers. We will go to our layer with the shadow. We will tap on it and we will select Alpha Lock. Now again, we're arguing back to our brush library. We are going to airbrushing folder, selecting either so bland or medium blends. When we have it, we will go back to our color palette and we can start by selecting the color with light blue, green. With this color, we will go over the top part of our shadow and we will soften it. If you want to add some different visual effects, maybe change the color on the shadow. Again, please go to the adjustments to hue, saturation and brightness and play with the sliders. When you're done playing with your shadow, ledgers, go and deselect everything by hitting our magic one. So now if you want to add some additional shadows to the miscellaneous objects, or if you want to play around with another shadows, you are welcome to do it. And if you are satisfied with how it looks, Let's move on to the next part where we will add the highlights. 8. Adding Highlights: Let's start this part by adding an additional effect that will lighten up the areas that are closer to our arrow. We will do it in that way. Firstly, we go into our layers and we argue in between our leaves with clean lines and shadow for this little creature. And we will create one more layer here. Let's just tap on the plus icon, entering in this layer as light, we will need to go and change the blending modes. And as we want to lighten up some areas, we will use overlay blending modes. Let us go to the icon and find overlay. Now when we have said earlier, ledgers get back to the color palettes and we can select any color that is light, e.g. let's select yellow. We will go to our brush library and we will select a soft brush, either soft blend or medium blends. When we did it, we will go and increase the size of our brush. And very lightly, we will go over the top areas, the petals near this arrow or leaves, and do the top part of our creature. And we will go and add the light here. Don't worry, if you are adding the color and not only to your existing areas but to your background too. We can fix it very easily later on. If you already did some parts, always go to the smudge tool and adjust these connections between two colors. If you want to add this additional color to some other elements, you are welcome to do it. When you did it, ledgers get rid of these additional color that we have on the background. We will do it in that way. We are going back to our layers. We are going to earlier with clean lines. And when we're at it, we will go to our selection tool, which is our S remember icon, and we will select automatic selection. Now we will go to the blank space outside our lines and we will tap onto our screen. When we have something like that, we will go and find the places that we want to select two. So we will do between our little creature and the leaves, and we will tap on this area too, when you have selected everything except your creature and your flour and every little element that you have on your screen. We will go back to our layers and we will go to our layer with the light. When it is selected, we will get back to our Canvas. We will take three fingers and we will make a scrap movement to erase these parts. When you are done, it is deselected automatically. And if you want to play around with this slide, we can go back to our adjustments. We can go to the hue saturation and brightness, and we can play with our sliders here. You can see when we are moving our hue slider, we are adding different visual effects. Find what works for you. If you don't want to do that, you can skip this part in total. E.g. let's leave it at something like that. And when you're satisfied, let just tap once to our magic wants to deselect everything. When we have this, we can go and adjust its opacity. If we want to, we can go to our layer. We can go to our little icon and adjust the opacity on our slider. If you want to do that. If you don't want to do it, Let's leave it as it is. And we will go and create one more layer. We will tap on the plus icon and we will rename this layer as highlights. Now we will go and change the blending mode, and this time we will use at blending modes, it will add a very bright white color. So let's just go to the icon right now and we will find at blending modes, Let's leave the opacity at 100%. For now, we will use the same color, yellow, or we can select the color with the name of light yellow. We will go back to our brush library. We will go to the calligraphy folder and we will choose our monoline brush. Or if you prefer to use the brush pen or script, you are welcome to use them too. Now, we will go to the opposite sides from our shadows and we will add little highlights. We can add them in the shape of doors or in the shape of lines. Basically we will just due to the edge of our elements and add a little elements with our little highlights. So e.g. let's start from this yellow pad cell that we have on the right. And we will go to this side of it and we will create a little line with our white color. If you want to add some additional elements, some doors or some little lines, of course you are welcome to do it. And when you have your first highlight, Let's move on to the next petal and let's add another highlights. So we are moving to the top and we will add the highlight to this paddle that is pink. Similarly to what we did with our shadows, we are looking at our arrow and aiding the highlights to the areas that are closer to our arrow. You can always play around with the shapes and you can always add additional elements. Now let's go through all of our petals and we will add these highlights in accordance with our light source, adding them to the opposite side from our shadows. When you're done with the paddles, move on to other elements and add the highlights to them to take a look at your arrow and add them in accordance with it. For our creature, ledgers go to this area that is very bright and we will add our little highlights or this area and some additional elements in accordance with your leads, a light source. If you want to solve an app, this ethics of the highlights, you can go to your brush, to the opacity slider and adjust it. And when you are done with adding the highlights, Let's move on to the next part where we will add a little shape on the bottom where our little creature is sitting on. And also we will recolor our lights. 9. Final Touches: Let's start by going to our color palettes and we will select the color with the name purple. When it is selected, we are going back to our layers, and now we can go and hide our layer with our little arrow firstly, and then we'll go to our Lydia with clean lines. And as you can see, it's still set as reference. So we will need to turn it off. Let's just tap on the layer and let's select reference. Now when everything is clear, ledgers get back to the bottom on this panel and we will go and create this shadow underneath our layer width flower colors. So we will select our layer with the sketch. And from here we will tap on the plus icon. Let's rename this layer as main shadow. Now when we have in Yulia, we can go and manually select our soft brush and go underneath the creature and create this little spot for the shadow. But also we can use one option that Procreate hats, ledgers go to our S ribbon icon, which is our selection tool. And on the bottom, we will select ellipse. When ellipse is selected, we will go underneath our creature and we will create a selection in the shape of an ellipse. You can play around with its openness. You can play around with its size. If it's not happening from the first try to write out one more time. When you have the selection that you like, we will need to end the color insight. Let's just go to our top-right corner and we will drag and drop the color to the selection. Now when we are done with this task, we will go and deselect everything by hitting R S ribbon icon one more time. And we will adjust this book by doing the following. Firstly, we will go to our magic one tool and we will select Gaussian blur. On the top you can see we have the option Gaussian blur, 0%. And if we go to our screen, and if we hold our Apple Pencil and move it toward the right side, you will see that you are aiding the bluer. So find the bluer that works for you. And when you're satisfied, we are ready to go, hit our magic one tool to deselect everything. If you want to adjust this little sport, maybe make it bigger, maybe make it smaller, or find the position that is better. We can always go to our Transform so we can use free form method or uniform method and adjusted to our liking. So play around with this tool. If you're satisfied with transforming it, adjusting it, just heat your arrow key one more time. If you don't like this color, you can always go to your magic wand. So you can go to hue saturation and brightness, and play with the sliders, find what works for you and when you're satisfied with your result, ledgers deselect everything by hitting our magic one tool one more time. And now when we have this little shadow ledgers go and recolor our lengths, We will do it in the same way as we have created our clipping masks and our shadows. So let us go to the top. We will go above early with a clean lines and we will create one more layer above it. Let's just tap on the plus icon and let's rename this layer as color lines. Let's clean this layer to a previous one. So we will tap on it and we will choose clipping mask. And now you have two options. You can go and select a very soft brush, go into the airbrushing and selecting soft blends or medium blends. Let's turn color that is closer to the color that you have once a your elements and go about this slide and add a tint to the lines. So e.g. let's just go and select some pink color. We will go increase the size of our brush and we will very softly go above airlines onto this little flower. If you don't like these ethics, you can go and select your monoline brush, select the color that you like, and go over the lines and recolor them fully. So it is up to you how you are going to be recoloring your lights. If you don't want to recolor the lines, just skip this part. If you think that it is too light or too dark, you can always go beyond the color palette. You can go to the disk and you can find the color that will work for you. So e.g. we can go and not create the color of the lines similar to the color that we have inside. We can go and speak a little bit darker color. You also can go and select different colors for different elements. So e.g. you can select some magenta color to the pink color, and you can go and select some yellow color for this yellow elements on the petals. To make the recoloring of your lines a little bit easier. You can go and create as many layers for the colors as you like. Don't forget that you will need to clip them to a previously and you can go and create the colors on the different layers. We can use all the tools that we use before. So e.g. if you recolor the lines for your leaves and if you want to change the color, you can always go to your magic one tool to hue saturation and brightness and play with a few or saturation or brightness. And when you are done recoloring your lines, we are done with our class. Thank you for watching this class.
