Analog Meets Digital: Fun Mixed Media Illustrations in Procreate

1. Introduction: Something really special about creating things with your hands. The way paint drags across paper, the texture of crayon, the imperfections you can't quite control. I love working digitally and procreate. But I also really love analog art. Painting, sewing, block printing, crafting, anything where I get to use my hands to make something physical. And lately, I've been thinking about how I can bring those two worlds together. Digital art is powerful, but it can be a little too perfect sometimes. And I think a lot of us are craving something more tactile, more human, and a little less polish. Hi, I'm Lisa Bardot, and I help people like you find their creativity through drawing on the iPad. Spent the last decade pushing the boundaries of what Procreate can do and sharing with others. In this class, we're going to explore how to bring that analog tactile feel into your digital artwork. We'll do that through three projects, each one building on the last. We'll start by creating handmade textures and using them as overlays in Procreate to bring in more analog character. Then we'll paint papers in a range of colors and turn them into a collage style illustration. And finally, we'll use hand drawn shapes as building blocks, combining them with illustrated details and Procreate. Each project also begins with a quick analog warmap a few playful minutes to loosen up, experiment with materials, and get your hands moving before we jump into the final artwork. Along the way, I'll show you how to digitize your analog work, clean it up, and use it inside Procreate. You don't need any fancy supplies for this class. In fact, I encourage you to use whatever you already have. Cheap pt, crayons, printer paper, it all works. It's all about experimenting, making a mess, and seeing what happens. This class is for anyone who enjoys digital art in Procreate and wants to make their work more textured and expressive. If you've ever felt like your digital art looks a little too clean or you're curious about mixing traditional and digital techniques, or you just want to try something new and playful, this class is for you. Working with your hands changes the way you think. It slows you down. It introduces surprise. It gives you textures and imperfections that you couldn't have created on purpose. And those little imperfections are often what makes artwork feel the most alive. Combining analog and digital, you really do get the best of both worlds. I'm really excited to share this process with you. So gather a few simple supplies, bring your iPad, and let's make something a little messy, a little unexpected, and a lot of fun. I'll see you in class. 2. Tools & Materials: For this class, you're going to need some analog art supplies and your digital tools. On the digital side of things, you're going to need an iPad running the Procreate app. I recommend version 5.4 or Later, and I also recommend having an Apple pencil. It's definitely the best tool to use when drawing on the iPad. And you also need something for digitizing your analog work. This can be just your phone to take pictures or if you have a scanner, that's a great way too. For your analog art supplies, I encourage you to use whatever you currently have on hand. You're going to need some paper, and printer paper works just fine. If you have other textured paper, watercolor paper, that might be a good option too for some of the different textures that we're going to do. And then you need some materials, some media. So again, use whatever you have. You can use crayons, colored pencils, markers, ink. The sky's the limit. If you have something that makes art, makes marks, use it. You could use dirt and rub it on paper, and that would also be fine, too. For one of the projects, you're going to need some paint, and you can use really cheap paint. It works great. This is just little paint bottles from the dollar store. If you have the three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue plus white, that's perfect. If you have other colors, that works, too. A cup with some water in it, maybe a paper towel and also some paint brushes, and any kind of paint brushes work, especially like the really old ones that are kind of gross and messed up, or, like, these are cheap kids paint brushes. Here's an old big one. And you can get creative because you don't even need a paint brush because you have your fingers. You could do finger painting. I recommend, like, not going out and buying anything, using what you have, and experimenting and seeing what kind of marks you can make when we get into the lessons. So get ready, gather up your materials, and I will see you in the next video. 3. Class Project: You class project is actually three different projects. So in the spirit of analog media, we're actually going to be illustrating all fun analog things, like the first one is a rotary telephone. Then we're going to be doing a roll of film, and then we'll finish it up by doing this globe that's really cute. And before we start each project, I have an analog warm up for you. These are just quick exercises that only take a few minutes, and the purpose is to just get you warmed up, loosened up and ready to play and get a little bit messy. I can't wait to see the artwork that you create. After you finish your first project, be sure to head to the Projects and Resources tab of the Skillshare class page and create a project. There you can post your first project, and you can edit this project and add more of your artwork as you make your way through the class. You can also share any discoveries that you make, things that you learned or other insights as well. I'm so excited to see what you create. Let's head into the next video where I'll give you some tips about how to digitize your analog artwork to use in Procreate. 4. Digitizing Analog Media: Before we get started with the projects, I wanted to talk about how to bring analog artwork into Procreate. So the process of digitizing your analog media. And there's two primary ways to do this. First is you can take a picture with your iPhone. That works great, or you can scan it with a scanner. So some tips if you are using your phone to take pictures, you can also use a nicer camera. It doesn't have to be your phone. Yield a better quality if you have a nice camera, but the phone works. That's what I'm going to be using for all the projects today that I demo for you. I'll just use my phone. But you want to photograph them in nice, even bright light, nowhere that's too dark or has, like, weird shadows or anything like that. You want to be able to take pictures of your pieces of paper. Like this is, well, that's here. We've got some textures that I'll make. And you want to be able to lay it flat and then shoot it directly on and not at an angle like this. So that way, it doesn't mess with the perspective and warp things. So nice bright, even light. If you're by a window, that works great. Even if you're outside with direct light, that can also work great, too. And sometimes even side lighting can work well. If you're photographing something like crumpled up paper and you want to see all the little folds of it, that can work well, too. So like being next to open door window or something like that. If you have access to a scanner, that is also a great way to digitize your work at a really high quality. So you want to put it into your scanner, and I recommend scanning it at least 300 DPI. And actually, I would recommend going even higher than that, 600 DPI or even higher. Sometimes you can take a small little swatch of a texture, and using by scanning it at a high DPI, you can enlarge it really big and just have that whole, you know, on the cereal box where it's like enlarged for texture. You can do that with your textures, and it's a lot of fun. So just make sure you scan it at at least 300 DPI, 600 DPI is what I would really recommend and even higher have the capabilities and the patience to do that. Inside Procreate, we're going to be able to adjust the contrast, the brightness, the hue and saturation. We'll be able to do all those adjustments right inside Procreate. So all you need to do is to digitize them, airdrop them to your iPad, or transfer them to your iPad in some other way, and then you will be good to go. I hope you enjoyed those tips. In the next video, I'm going to give you a few more tips about sharing your artwork on social media. 5. Sharing Your Work on Social Media: In this video, I want to give you a few tips about sharing your artwork on social media. The process you're about to learn is so much fun, and there's so much that goes into it that people might not recognize when they just look at the final result. They're going to see that it looks really cool, but not really understand why. So while you're working, it's really fun to take some behind the scenes shots of the process of creating the artwork. So whether you're taking photos or videos of, you know, creating the textures, creating the shapes you're going to create, painting the papers, things like that, or showing the art supplies that you use. Like to set up shots that include both the iPad and all the art supplies that I use, the papers, with the textures that I made, pretty much anything that goes into the process can make for a really interesting behind the scenes kind of shot. So as you're going through the projects of this class, definitely recommend making a mess and then taking a picture of it. Zoom out far, get the whole scene, show all your messy middle. It makes for a really interesting kind of behind the scenes moment. And if you do share your work on social media, I would love to see it. Please be sure to tag me, Lisa Bardo. All right. Without further ado, let's head into the first project for this class. I'll see you there. 6. Analog Warmup 1: Texture Play: Welcome to your first analog warm up. These exercises are meant to just help you loosen up and kind of get into the group of using your art supplies, not afraid to be a little bit messy, get experimental, and just have fun. For this first warm up, you're going to want to collect some art supplies, and these can be literally anything goes. You can borrow crayons from your kids. You can use colored pencils, markers, paint. Anything really works. So go ahead and gather up some art supplies. You're also going to need some paper. This is just regular printer paper, just a few sheets is fine. And what we're going to do for this exercise is we are going to fill the paper with as many different kinds of textures as we can in 3 minutes. So I'm not going to say any more than that. Let's just go ahead and jump in and I'll kind of explain what I'm doing as I go. But I'm going to start the three minute timer now. So I am going to start with this big fat sharpie marker here, and maybe I'll just try kind of dotting it on the page like that to create kind of an interesting texture and just kind of like a little, you know, splotch of texture. You don't have to fill up a lot of space. So that's pretty interesting. And I could probably use this again, maybe just to do some marks like that or go over it again that way, and I get some cool, like, I almost cross hatching kind of effect there. I've got some crayons here, so I can, you know, do some scribbles like this. I can, you know, shade or do a little bit lightly, a little bit more uniform to get kind of a different sort of texture from that. Let's see. What else can we do? I have some markers here. These are Tambo markers, but, you know, crayola markers work good, any kind of markers. Let's see. What if I do some long strokes like that? I would be interesting. I'll go over it again. And then maybe I'll do another one with this. Something just kind of like fast. Like that one was slow, and this one's kind of fast. So it kind of I don't know, go crazy. Why not? I get kind of like a scribbly effect. I also have these Tempa paint sticks, and this is a really fun art material. If you ever get your hands on them. They kind of feel like drawing with lipstick. They're very silky and smooth. And they fill in areas very nicely. Like, you can get a pretty smooth, you know, overall texture, especially if you use, like, heavier pressure, but then I could do light pressure and that'll pick up some of the, you know, texture of the paper, which is pretty cool. These are so fun. I love these. Let's see. I've got some colored pencils here. And maybe what if I just do, like, a bunch of little lines like that? Like, they don't have to be scribbles and haphazard. You could do, like, a little pattern. I think that's kind of interesting. You could do, like, little dots really close together. Those are a little time consuming, so my little swatch of this texture is very small. You know, I can shade with it like that. It's kind of similar to the crayon. Wins. Cool. What else? I have some paint. This is, like, really cheap paint from the dollar store, maybe since I don't have a plate or palette to put it on, so I'm just going to I'm just gonna do a little dab on the paper, and then I'll grab a brush. Let's see. I have this kind of really stiff brush here and I can kind of move it around like that. Kind of like sponge painting. Oh, my 3 minutes was just up. Okay. Well, I'm almost full of it, but I really want to keep going. And if you feel like you do want to keep going after the 3 minutes is up, like, feel free to just go ahead and fill up the page. I think that's super interesting. I'll pick up some more of this paint, like, do some little swirly kind of marks there, which is really kind of an interesting texture. Yeah. The whole point of this is just again to loosen you up, get you experimenting with different supplies that you have because you'll find that you can create more textures than you maybe would have thought originally with just a single art supply. You probably have gone I could have gone with this same Sharpie and done a lot more different things. That's another thing that's fun to explore is to see how many different kinds of textures you can get out of one art supply. These different textures that you made might even inspire you for what's to come in our first project for this class. If you're ready to jump into that, I will see you in the next video. 7. Rotary Phone: Analog Textures: Hi. Welcome to the first lesson of this class. We are going to be creating analog texture overlays for digital illustration. So the first part of that, of course, is to make some textures. So supplies that you're going to need are a lot of different art supplies. Really, anything goes. You know, you can use crayons, colored pencils, markers, paint, whatever. Like, there's so many different ways to create texture. And, of course, you're going to need some paper, as well. Again, this is just some printer paper. But if you do have other kinds of paper, like watercolor paper or something like that, you might pick up some interesting textures just from, you know, the texture of the paper itself. So that's fun to experiment with. Um, so let's go ahead and jump in. I think I'm going to start with I'll start with the crayon here. So this is just, like, a black crayon, and I'm going to start by just kind of like shading this in like this. And when we're creating a texture, we want to have a pretty big area of the texture, so you can fill in an entire sheet of paper or just like half the paper. When we photograph these or scan them, it's nice to get a little bit higher resolution, so you can zoom in on a texture to enlarge it and stuff. But if you watch the video about scanning, you'll know all about that. Okay. I'm going to fill in half with this coloring crayon texture. Then maybe on this side, I'll rub the crayon across and get something interesting. You can also try this by putting the paper on top of a surface that's textured, like the concrete or a wall or piece of wood or something and taking a rubbing you could get some really interesting textures that way too. That's kind of a fun. I get these little kind of little freckles in there. So there's a couple textures using a crayon. Pretty cool. Let's go ahead and do some more. I'll use my big Sharpie. This one's fun. I can do maybe some long lines like this. And I'm using kind of heavier pressure. So I get, you know, filled in a lot more than if I were to go with lighter pressure. Go over some places a second time. This is one of those really smelly markers. Okay, so there's half the sheet. And then maybe on this side, I can do I'll do like lighter, like this. So I'm kind of going at it with light pressure. And then I get more of the white peeking through. And why not go the other way, too? And then I get kind of a grid, almost like plaid sort of texture, which is really interesting. There's a couple textures with this big sharpie marker. I also have a little bit of This is ink, like for like, click a few pens or something. But you could also do this with watercolor or something like that, but just doing, like, a wash on a piece of paper. So I'll use this brush here, get a little bit of this. Probably put a little bit of water into it, but I'll give it a go. And then I'm going to Ooh, then I get this really nice dry brush, which is cool. So I'm kind of getting, like, a nice dry brush effect with this. I know I said I was going to be washed, but I think the ink needs to have some more liquid in it. It's kind of dry. Whoops. So I've been doing a lot of linear kind of textures, going back and forth, but by all means, that's not the only way to do it. In fact, let's do another one with this kind of, like, dry brush that's a little bit more I don't know, crazy. Just kind of doing little sorely things. This is what I would call a high contrast texture where there is dark dark blacks and white whites right next to each other. Whereas this one is lower contrast texture because it's mostly one value, one shade. They both have different feels, different moods when it comes to the digital part of this. That's fun. Okay, I want to do one that's a wash, so let me put a little bit more ink in here. Okay. I've added some more water to that, so now I'm getting, like, a wash. This is really watered down ink. Again, you could use, like, a watercolor or even, like, really watered down paint. And I'm just wedding that wedding that kind of pull around and stuff, move around. I'm just trying to fill the page. And I'm also seeing, like, the brush strokes. What if I don't know if I do these kind of haphazard marks, it's a little dry that way, or we'll see. I don't know. Okay, so that's a cool little washy texture. Wow. Okay. Kind of wet. That's fine. I'll put that over there. And then I also have these tempera paint sticks, which are really fun. You saw the warm up, I was using these, and they behave just like lipstick. It's like drawing with a glue stick. They're just so smooth and such fun textures that these create. They're really fun to make art with. I love them. So I'm just kind of coloring that in kind of with medium pressure so I get some of the texture there. What if I did just, like, kind of dotty shape, so I'm just kind of, like, drawing in sort of, like, circular patterns like that. It takes a long time, but hopefully it'll be cool. I'm getting messy. And you know what I could also do if I wanted to. This is another one of, like, more of a high contrast pattern because it's like the white is really showing a lot, but I could add in another color. Again, color doesn't really matter for these. We're going to end up making them black and white when we turn them into overlays in procreate. Use whatever color you want. What you really want to pay attention is the value, how light or dark it is on the paper, if you have the white peeking through. Again, this is all about having fun and experimenting anyway, so don't overthink it as far as that goes. Pick whatever color you've got and then we'll see what happens. There's some more fun textures. And maybe I'll do one more with a marker. So I have these and maybe I'll do, like, a swirly kind of pattern like that. Just lots of loopy swirlees. And if I wanted the pattern to be less contrasty, I could even come over it with, like, a wash of this ink. Oh, that's doing something interesting. Actually, these tambos are like water soluble. So if you add water to them, they behave a lot like watercolor. So this is really interesting. Like, again, just experiment. Like, I have no idea how things are going to come out sometimes, but now I'm getting kind of this, like, blooming bleeding effect there, which is really cool. It makes me want to, I don't know, do some, like, stripes and then do a wash over it. So I'm gonna try that. You can spend as much or as little time as you want doing this step of the process, but I think it's really fun. It's one of those things that I just kind of get lost in. Alright, let's go this way, maybe. So I'll have these almost, like, soft kind of stripes, which are interesting. Oops. I think I'm starting to run out. That's okay. All right. And then one more thing that you can do even if you don't have any art supplies at all, is to just take a piece of paper and crumple it up. Crumple it up, really squish it good, then open it back up and decide if you want it more wrinkled, you could always, you know, crumple it up again. Pull it back out and then kind of, like, flatten it out a little bit. And this is also a really interesting texture. When you, you know, want to digitize this one, you'll probably want to do it with a photograph versus a scanning. And if you hold a light, kind of, if you go by, like, a window or door or something, you have light coming in from the side. I'll pick up on all the little wrinkles and stuff. So that's another fun little thing that you can do. But, yeah, we have lots of different fun textures to play with now. Um Again, there's no set amount that you need. Just kind of go until you're done. You feel like you've done, and you've got plenty. And yeah, the next step is going to be to digitize these by either scanning or photographing them. If you need some tips on how to do that, check out my previous video on this class all about scanning or photographing your work, digitizing your analog media here, and then we'll be ready to head into Procreate. 8. Rotary Phone: Digital Overlays: Okay, here are all the photos I took of the different textures that I made. But we're going to get back to this. First, we're actually going to work on our illustration, and then we will return. So let's go ahead and open up Procreate and start by creating a new canvas, tap the plus sign in the upper right. And the canvas size I'm going to be using today is one of my favorite sizes to work in 2,800 pixels by 3,500 pixels. I do have a template for that size, but if you don't can tap the little plus sign with this rectangle icon. And again, it's going to be 2,800 by 3,500 pixels. You don't need to worry about the DPI, as long as you're set to pixels down here. You can give your template a name and then hit the check mark when you're done, and then I'll open it up, but I'm going to use my template. So we'll start with a sketch. We're only going to be using Procreate's default built in brushes, but you do want to make sure you have Procreate version 5.4 or later to use the same brushes that I have. And let's open up our brush library because if you don't see the particular sets that I'm going to be getting into, you might need to pinch out. So just kind of do a little pinching gesture like that, and look for the one. These are all different brush libraries you can use to organize your brushes in Procreate. But we're looking for the one called Procreate Library. So I'm going to open that up. And then we'll go into pencils, and you can use any of the pencils to sketch with. But one of my favorite pencils from this set, I really like Huntsman, which is this one. Pilon has also got a nice texture, but literally any brush works for sketching. So I'm just going to choose Huntsman, and then I'm going to choose black as my color. And this is a really, really simple illustration of a rotary phone. So we're going to start with just kind of like a trapezoid shape like this. And there's going to be a circle in the middle like that that's going to be, you know, the dial of the phone. And then the little receiver hooks, you know, you put the phone on, and then the little, you know, thing that actually hangs up the phone. There will be little feet on the phone like that, maybe a circle in the middle. And then there are going to be like little numbers going all the way around. I'm just really quickly doing this. I probably have too many. I didn't count. There should be ten or no, zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and then, like, a little that thing, little metal thing. Okay, and then we also have the phone itself, the receiver, I think it's called. So I'm going to draw that. It's kind of like a curve shape like that. And then draw a little line on either side like that and then draw a smaller curve inside. So it should look something like that. We'll draw a line there and there. Again, I'm going really, really basic here. And then we're going to have the cord, and the cord can go in all kinds of fun shapes. We will end up making, like, a swirl cord, but for now, you can just draw it like that, and it should go into your phone. And then you can also for your sketch, we're going out a little talk bubble like that. Hello. You can have it say something else if you want. Okay, so there's our little phone sketch. You can use the transform tool here to whoops to kind of resize it if you want. But that's great. Okay, so now we're going to create shapes to be the main parts of this illustration. So let's go up to our layers, and we're going to tap the plus sign to create a new layer. We're going to move this layer underneath the first layer. So we're going to tap hold and drag it. Whoops, tap hold and drag it underneath. So the sketch layer is on top. And then we're going to reduce the opacity of our sketch layer, so it's just barely visible. So it's just like a guide. Whoops. So you're going to tap the little N on the sketch layer, which is down the top layer, and then bring it down till it's like, you know, 10-20%, just so you can see it. I might have it up a little bit so you guys can see it on the camera, maybe a little bit, you know, darker than that. Okay. So now comes the fun part. We're going to start drawing our shapes. Make sure you're on the bottom layer, the one that doesn't have the sketch, and we're actually going to use the selection tool to draw today. So you're going to go up to the selection tool here and make sure you're in free hand mode. And we are just going to tap tap tap to create some really This is really basic shapes. Just going to end up being a trapezoid like that. And then we're going to tap up here to create the little receiver thing to hang it up. Oops. And we're going to again, tap, tap, tap to add another one and close the selection by tapping on the little gray circle. Whoops. And now we have that phone, and there's a couple ways that we can fill it with color. You can go up to your color picker, and I'm going to do a nice green for this one. You can drag and drop to fill it in like that. The other way that you can do color fill something color is by tapping the color fill here, and then you can actually go in and change the color on the fly, which is pretty cool. So go ahead and I'm going to do this nice deep green. That's pretty good. And then let's do this part of the phone here, the receiver. So I'm just going to since this is a curve shape, I'm going to do, like, a lot of taps. It'll end up looking pretty like angular, but I kind of like the way that it looks. It almost feels kind of like paper cuddy to me. Like you're cutting out shapes from paper. So just kind of like tap to follow the curve so, you know, you'll have like these kind of, like, pointed edges. But as soon as you close the selection, and if you have color fill turn on, it'll fill with that color. So, that's already good and done. And that is really all that we need to do for this piece, as far as, like, drawing shapes. So I'm going to get out of the selection tool. And now we get to add some texture. Well, let's see. Let's do our little pencly details. We're going to do the rest, and then we'll add the texture. I think that'll be more satisfying. So let's go up to our layers and tap the plus sign to create a new layer. And now we're going to go into our pencils and just make sure you have the I think the Huntsman will be good. I'm going to try out. You can kind of play around with the different brushes to see which one has a texture that you like. That's Huntsman. Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with Huntsman. There's some really nice pencils, you know, just in the built in brushes. But let's choose Huntsman. Again, this is in the pencil set. And let's do black as our color. Let's go and choose black. And we are going to add some little feet to that at the bottom. And then the little thing that hangs up the phone for the dial, we're going to probably do that in white. So I'm going to come back to that, and then I'm going to do the little talk bubble and then do this a little neater this time. Hello. Again, you can have it say whatever you want. And then for this part, we're actually going to choose white. So go ahead and go to your color picker, and if you double tap close to white, it'll choose a pure white value for your color. Works around a few different places here, but I like to use it for choosing white. So go ahead and choose white, and then we're going to draw the circle part of this, and then we're going to draw the center circle. I'm doing it a little bit neater than my sketch now. And then we're going to color this in, and I like it to look like you colored it in by hand. So I'm kind of going around this ring, this dial, you know, in a circular way, that makes sense and letting you know, the green peek out underneath. So it just feels like more realistic. Like it's been colored by hand because it is being colored by hand, just with a digital brush. But we want to have that analog feel. That's why we wouldn't use something like color drop to fill this in. We have the computer perfect shapes. Well, I wouldn't even call them computer perfect these green, the phone part because they're so angular, they've been cut out. But the color inside them, that's computer perfect and that's what we're going to add texture to using all those beautiful textures that we make. I'm finishing coloring this in it looks pretty good. I want it to be full, but still again, have some of that green poking through. And then I'm going to switch back to the black down here, and then we can draw the little metal thing, and then the circles that represent the numbers on the dial. I'm not going to put the actual numbers in. I'm just going to keep this very simple. But you're welcome to, you know, jug it up however you want. I don't even know if I have the right number of But that's fine. I don't think you have the right number of dots. And then the last thing is a little phone cord. So I'm just going to start here and then just kind of do loop, be loop, be loop as I follow the shape of the line that I drew in my sketch. And this might take some practice to kind of do it all in one go like that. So don't feel bad if you need to undo it and try it again. You just want to get it to a place where you're happy with how it looks because then we can turn the sketch off and start adding in some texture. So I'm going to go up to my layers, and I'm going to turn off this sketch layer because we don't need it anymore. Uncheck this little checkbox there. And then tap the layer that has Oh, I forgot something. Okay. I lied. One more thing. Tap up to the layer that has all these line details that we did. And then I forgot, I got to add, like these little lines that I had in my sketch. Okay, now we're done with that. So thank you for bearing with me, let's tap down to the layer with the green phone shapes. And then we're going to tap a layer. I'll tap the plus sign to create a layer right above that. Now, let's go ahead and add one of our textures. So I'm going to go up to the Actions menu, add, and I airdrop them to my iPad, so I have them in my camera roll. So I'm going to go to Insert a photo. And then I'm going to choose one of these textures. I think I'll start with this one right here. Can zoom in a little bit, so you can see. It's this one. I think that was like a crayon, where it's like, like that. Okay? Okay, so it doesn't look like much yet, but it will in a moment. Now, the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to set this layer with the texture to be a clipping mask. So I'm going to tap the layer and choose clipping mask, and that will make it so, you know, the contents of this layer is only visible within the layer below it. So basically, our texture is contained within these shapes. And already, it's looking pretty cool. I kind of like the way it looks like it's a black and white, but I want the green back. So we're going to set this layer to be an overlay. So to do that, we're going to tap the layer or sorry, tap this little N on the layer with the texture. Then we have this list of blend modes, and all the blend modes do different things. A blend mode basically just dictates how one layer interacts with the layers below it. Sometimes some blend modes have a lightning effect, some have a darkening effect, and there's other things. But we're going to choose one that has a lightening and darkening effect, and that is the overlay blend mode. So it's right there. So go ahead and choose overlay. And you can see now that the color is coming through, the texture is interacting with the color, and it looks really cool. You can make some adjustments to your texture if you find it gets really bright, maybe your texture is very light. So you can make some adjustment. So I'll show you how to do that. So with your texture layer selected, go up to the adjustments menu and go to curves. And this curve affects the value of, you know, whatever layer you're on. So if you grab this curve and you move it up, it makes the whole thing lighter. And if you grab the curve and move it down, it makes the whole thing darker. So you can use that to kind of adjust, you know, how light or dark you want it to be. You can also move these side notes over, you know, up or down and kind of play around with that. And, you know, the more that you move it, the more subtle or intense your texture will look. So you can play around with those as well. Like, that'll make it a little bit more subtle. I've kind of taken the contrast out of that texture, which I kind of like the way that that looks, maybe a little bit more dark. This side controls the dark values, and this side controls the light values. So yeah, just kind of play around with that. The other thing is if your texture happened to have some color in it, you might need to desaturate it. So I'll show you that next. I'll just do one more texture to show you. I'm going to create a new layer and I'm going to set this layer to be a clipping mask. And I'm going to turn off this other layer here just so I can add one more texture. So I'm going to go to the actions menu add insert a photo and choose one that has color like this one here. Okay, so I mean, that looks kind of cool, too, actually, without changing anything. But I'll set the blend mode to the overlay. So again, top the end and then choose overlay. Oh, I love the way that's looking already. Even without doing anything, it has this really great analog looking texture, which is beautiful. But if you need to take the color out of your if it's interacting with the color of, you know, your illustration, you can go up to the actions, sorry, the adjustments menu, hue saturation brightness, and you can take the color out of it. You can see now it's kind of gone back to that original green that I had. But when I added the blue, it made almost like a brighter blue or green. So it's up to you whether you want it to affect the color or not. But I took the saturation out of it. Now if I go back to my layers, you can see it's just a black and white image. If I turn this back to normal, now that's what the photo actually looks like. It's just black and white. For the most part, texture overlays work best when they're in black and white. You can play around with that too. I'll go back to overlay. I really like that. So if you wanted to keep going and experimenting with different textures on your phone, you can just kind of turn off this layer, create a new one, add a new texture, play around with it and see what kind of textures that you like. I'm going to try one more because I just want to play and have fun. So I'm going to turn off that one, tap this new one, select clipping mask, tap little N, and just set it to overlay. And then I can add a photo. I'm going to do one that's like one of these high contrast textures, which is kind of interesting. So this is that, you know, dry brush, kind of swirly one. And it's quite intense because it's such a high contrast. Like, it has the black blacks and the white whites all within that texture. So the texture can look really intense. So maybe you like it, maybe not. But if you want to adjust the contrast, that's where the curves adjustment can come in really handy. So if you go up to the adjustments menu, go to curves, again, you can play around with it. If you wanted something to appear like it has less contrast, basically, all you have to do is flatten out this curve. So if I take this one and move it down and I take this one and move it up, now there's almost no contrast at all, and you can't even see the texture. So you want to kind of you know, have some contrast so that the texture actually shows up, but you can adjust how much by moving these kind of nodes. And then you can even continue on and grab the middle, move it up and down and kind of see how you like it. But that's also an interesting texture as well, that kind of high contrast, dry brush one. Now, this piece is looking good already, but I think to give it another analog touch, it would be great if it had a paper texture over the whole thing versus like this just stark white, computer white backdrop. So let's add a paper texture. You can use the textures that you made, but I think what works really well for an illustration like this as the finishing touch is to get just like a nice paper texture from, like, a stock photography website. So here I am on unsplash.com. This is a free to use stock photography website, so you can review the license, but you can use these commercially. You can use them however you want for the most part. So I'm going to search for paper texture. And there's some great options already. If they don't have the plus sign, they're free to use. I think the plus sign are premium ones, but this one looks really good right here, so I'm just going to tap the arrow to download it and then tap Download and then download again. That's going to save to my download folder in the Fils app. I'm going to go to the Fils app. Let's close that and go to Downloads, and there's the image that I downloaded, so I should just be able to drag and drop that kind of tap and hold, then head here and then drop it in like that and resize it, it takes up the whole Canvas. There's another way that you can import a texture, and I'll just show you that real quick that you've downloaded. You go up to the Actions menu. This time, when you download something, it goes into the Files app, you want to insert a file. And then you go to your Downloads folder, and there's the file that I downloaded. And so that's another way that you can insert a photo that you've downloaded. But it's in the wrong spot. We're going to actually move this to the top. So I'm going to tap, hold and drag it above all the other layers. So that's good. And then we are going to set a blend mode for this layer, too, because right now you can't see through it, but we want to be able to see through it, and we want all the texture to appear on our illustration. So we're going to tap the N, and we're going to chooses. We're going to choose multiply. Multiply has a darkening effect, so it'll all the light parts of what's on that layer will become transparent so you can see through, and then you just see, like, the darker textures. So it works really well for, like, adding a overall texture on top. So I hope you enjoyed doing this first simple little illustration of a rotary phone and playing around with the different textures. I think I really like this marker one. I think it was, like, the swirls and the wash over it. It's just really beautiful. And like unexpected. Like, I wouldn't have expected combining those two things to create a texture like this, but I really, really like it. So I hope you had fun with that, and please keep experimenting with different textures. In the next video, I'm going to show you some more artwork that I've made using texture overlays to give you a little bit more inspiration. See you there. 9. More Texture Overlay Examples: In this video, I have a few more examples of artwork I've made using texture overlays. For this fun torn paper hot dog, I took some scans of some tissue paper that was kind of wrinkled up and some crumpled up paper for the background, and I added a torn paper effect using some procreate brushes that I made. There's a butterfly that I did in digital watercolor. I have a brush set called Watercolor Wonder, and it comes with some textured canvases that are all created by using different blend modes and some watercolor washes that I created using, you know, analog, watercolor. Here's another little set of illustrations that I did in digital watercolor. You're doing watercolor and procreate, a lot of it has to do with the process of how you paint it, but the texture overlays are really what gives it the realistic watercolor look. This is a piece from one of my most popular classes. Kickstart your creativity Volume two, where I teach you more about using texture overlays. We illustrate this denim jacket and then add some texture overlays on top to give it a realistic texture effect. If you want to draw this, you can take that class right here on Skillshare. Here's a little doggie with some really fun watercolor washy texture. I have a product that I sell on my Bardo brush site called magic paper, and it's these textured canvases that come preloaded with all the texture overlays on them. So all you have to do is draw on them, and they're a lot of fun. The next few pieces actually use the magic paper. Like, this pair has a really cool sort of canvas texture. Same thing with this fruit piece. You can see all the, like, watercolor brush strokes peeking through. And this set of mushrooms. I think I made this texture by drawing with marker all over a piece of watercolor paper. And here's a different take on mushrooms. This is using another kind of watercolory wash texture with lots of fun brush strokes used as a texture overlay. And this illustration comes from my book, drawing digital. And this is another really cool use of texture overlays. This is from my stunning stained glass class, which is also on Skillshare. And for these, I bought a bunch of pieces of stained glass, and I photographed them on a light table so that light shines through. And then I use those as texture overlays to create this realistic stained glass effect. And I just love the way it looks. It's such a fun effect. Head on over to the next video to start our second project for this class, and we will begin with another analog warmup. I'll see you there. 10. Analog Warmup 2: Color Mixing Fun: Welcome to your next analog warm up. This time we're gonna be playing around with color. For this exercise, you're going to need some paint in the three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue. And this is just really cheap paint that I got at the dollar store, so you don't need anything fancy. You'll need some paint brushes. Again, nothing fancy. Whatever you have on hand is good. Something to mix colors on. These are just some disposable plates and some water to rinse your brush. I also like to have a paper towel to kind of dab off any extra water, and then you'll be ready to go. So this is our color mixing playground. We're going to mix our three primary colors together and see how many different shades that we can get on a sheet of paper here. So I'm going to start by doing a few dabs of the different colors. I'll do a few dabs of blue like that. So I just have some colors to mix from. I'll put the over here, too. Okay, that's good. And now I'm going to get some yellow. Do yellow over here. Boom, any yellow over here? I think so. And some red. Okay. So I have options. Let me put those over here, and now you can start mixing. So I'm going to choose one of my smaller brushes here. And I'll start by mixing some yellow and blue. And this is, of course, going to create green, and we will just dab some of that green on there. And then if we kind of keep going over here and mix a little more of the yellow, we'll get, you know, a nice lime green right there. You can even keep going. Just see what kind of colors you can get. Over here, I'll mix in some more blue. Then we get a nice blue green, which is really fun. All these different kinds of greens that we can get just from, you know, the different kinds of colors that we mix. Different amounts. So there we go. We've got some green. So let's do another one now. I'm just going to I'm just going to grab another brush so I don't have to wash them. Okay, so I'm going to do let's do yellow or sorry, blue and red. And this is going to make sort of a purply color. So I'm going to mix those together. Got this nice deep kind of purple. It's really pretty. I'll do a little bit more red over here. That's kind of more of a, you know, red violet, which is really nice. It's pretty. Let's do more blue. That's going to be a very bluish purple or maybe a bluish purple. It's very blue, very deep. I can grab some of this too and mix it around. There we've we've got our primary colors, red, yellow and blue. These are secondary colors, purple, green, and now we get to do orange. So we're going to mix together yellow and red. And that's going to make orange like that. That's a very reddish orange. Let's get more yellow on this side. That's looking more of a I don't know, true orange, you would say. I'm gonna do, like, a really yellowy orange here. Give me more yellow. Oops, I dabbed into that red. That's okay. We'll do a bit more yellow over here. Da da da. Okay, so we've got a bunch of different kind of oranges as well. And now let's grab a little bit of the blue and mix it into the orange. And then we get kind of this more, like, muddied, yellowish green. Like, that's actually how you can desaturate your colors and tone down the saturation on them is by adding their compliment, the other primary that's not already in them. So I'm going to add some yellow into this lu. Let's see what I get. A little bit of the red. Ooh, that's a really interesting kind of blue. So just start mixing and seeing what other kind of colors that you can make. It's also really interesting to see when there's lots of colors on the brush, you'll end up with lots of colors in your brush stroke, which is kind of cool. Let's do but Oh, that's more reddish. So I'm kind of getting a brown when there's a lot of red in there. It's kind of like a brownish color. Let's just keep on mixing. What else? More yellow. Let's get more yellowy. Almost like I don't know. Is that chartreuse kind of color, kind of interesting. So you can see, like, as you keep mixing together, like, things start getting kind of muddy and messy, but that's okay. See something really reddish. That's kind of pretty. Oh, that's, like, a really nice brown. So this exercise is just all about kind of having fun mixing colors and seeing what kind of colors that you can create with just these three primaries. I mean, you can do just about any color using the three primaries, and we are going to do some fun, colorful painting in our next project. So I hope you had fun with that one. Again, this is very, like, chill, no pressure. Just have fun playing around with colors. No expectations, and I will see you in the next video. 11. Film Roll: Analog Painted Papers: Fun. Welcome to the second project of this class. For this piece, we're going to be creating sort of a painted paper collage. So we're going to need to create some painted papers to use in our digital work. So you're going to do a lot of the same supplies as we use for the digital warmup. So you're gonna want some paint. Again, this is, like, really cheap paint from the dollar store. Um, works great. You don't need anything fancy. I would recommend, like, at least red, yellow, and blue so you can mix more colors, but you're welcome to also get some other colors if you didn't want to have to worry about mixing. So we've got some colors. We've got a nice stack of paper because you end up painting quite a few of these and something to mix paint on, like this plate, some water, and some paint brushes. So we're going to create some painted paper. So I'm going to start by picking one of these colors. I'll do this blue. And when I'm doing these, I don't like to just start with just one color. I like to mix it in with different value of that color. Like, I also happen to have this lighter blue, so maybe I'll put some of that on there. I also have some white. So I can put that. And then maybe, I don't know, I'll put some green on there just in case I want to use that. So that's a good place to start. And then I'll grab one of my paintbrushes here and I'll kind of mix them together a little bit, but not fully. So there's, like, a little bit of each color on the paintbrush. And then I will start painting. And so, hopefully, both colors will start to show up, and I'll get these maybe I'll get a little bit of water. I'll get these nice variations in the color. Um do a little bit of that, and then get some lighter color. Yeah. I'll get these nice variations within the paper as I go through and paint. Kind of like fill it all in like that. I usually try to do like one color, you know, one per sheet. Not trying to fit in multiple, you know, color ways on one piece of paper, but try to get it full 'cause you have a lot of area that you can use to use to colorize what we'll be using these for us to colorize our artwork using these, like, analog painted textures. Maybe I want to, like, pop in a little bit more with this darker blue and kind of, like, move it around. And I don't know, just kind of playing around. Um so that one's pretty good. It's a nice paper. There's a lot of different kind of values of the blue in there and liking the way that that looks. So I will set this one to the side. And I will work on another one. I'll clean up my brush. I've got some paper towels under here because I like to kind of clean it and then just kind of dab off the extra water. I'm going to do this green. And then I'm actually going to grab some of the blue, just to kind of make it a little I have, like, a light and a dark green now, so I can grab from there. And you can do other textures, too. You don't have to just do painting all the way across like that. This is kind of just like dabbing, dabbing some of this lighter green. Uh, these kind of textures are fun for, like, doing bushes and grass and things like that, things that have, like, this kind of texture. Make a little bit more of that green. So I'm just gonna keep going. I kind of fill in the page. Lots of dab. I'm trying to get more of that lighter green so I again have different kind of variations. You can let some of the white peek through. Sometimes that can be good. Sometimes you don't want that. I don't know. I kind of I prefer, like, a fully filled in kind of color on these. Starting to run out, that's okay. So I'll come in and fill in all those little white spots, but they're not that big a deal if you have them. So that's a really fun kind of painted paper texture, screen. That's really cool. So let's do another one. Let's see. I'm going to do a yellow color. And I'm running out of room on my little plate here, so okay. Don't judge me. This one has confetti on it, I ran out of the clear ones. But you know what? It's all good. You use what you have, and that's fine. Is it hard to mix colors on a confetti plate? I don't know. It's fine. I did a little orange, so I'm kind of, like, doing warm colors, I guess. A little bit of orange down there. Get out of there. Okay. And then I'll get my brush. What's this brush here. And we'll try these colors. Again, I'm mixing them, and maybe I'll do little swirls. The brush is a little dirty, so it looks like there's some darkness to it, which actually isn't bad. There's no rule when it comes to what's going to work well. When you know that you're going to make an illustration, I did a piece of painted paper piece once that was apples. I painted some papers that looked like apples, like a red and green and stuff. You can create painted papers with illustration in mind, like, Oh, I need a paper that's you know, gonna be grass, so I'll do some green or something like that. But you don't have to, because you can always adjust the colors later in procreate and change a colored paper, you know, painted paper into whatever color you want it to be in the end. So I've got this nice orangy yellow moment happening here with some little bits of dirty paint water, but it looks cool. It's got a nice texture. I kind of like I'm like, squeezing out the dirty paint water now and kind of incorporating that in because it's, like, interesting, an interesting texture to me. So that one looks pretty cool. I like it. Again, this is just like printer paper. You don't need anything fancy. You could use thicker paper and it would hold up better, but it's fine. I like to have a page that's full of a darker color in case I need some black and I know for this illustration, we do need some black. I'm going to use this paper plate that I use for the warm up. And hopefully there's still some black paint left in this tube, if not, I don't know, do something different. Uh. Oh, gosh. There's almost nothing left in there. I'm telling you guys, I didn't go out and buy anything special for this, and that's kind of the approach I want you guys to take is just, like, to use what you got. It doesn't even have to be paint. Like, you could maybe we'll do one in a minute that's like, we can fill it with a different material, a different medium. Okay, so I'm just kind of mixing this black into these other colors. And just I don't know. We'll see. It's kind of greenish. That's okay. I can always mix in I've got some red here. I can mix in red, so it's not so green. It's a little more brownish. So it's kind of black, but it's, like, not fully black. So I'm going to paint that on. Got some black. I've got some greenish color kind of up there. And I'm just kind of, you know, Oh, this is pretty texture. I'm gonna fill it in, but I really like that dry texture there. So maybe to do a little scrubby scrub. And then I want to get maybe I'll grab some of this I had some white on here, and then dab that on. Dab some yellow. This is very loose and free. And then I'll kind of swipe that in. So that way I have some nice. It's not just, like, solid black. I've got some, like, variation of colors in there. It's too light. I'll had some more black. Looking pretty good. Another thing you could do if you have a brush for it. I set this one down. Like, I have this big brush that's really bristly likes to shed, is use that dry and then kind of, like, brush on maybe one of these lighter colors. I need a much lighter color. Maybe I'll get some of this yellow from this one. No, that's probably too much. Okay, let's see. And then we have some lighter values that kind of peak up. If you ever need illustrating something that's made of wood, you can make a wood grain texture this way, too. It's just really cool. Okay, so I've got a black I think I'm happy with. It's got a little bit of different values and colors in there, and I think that will work really nicely. Let's do maybe one more using another material just in case you don't want to do paint. I showed these in my when we did the last project, but these tempera paint sticks are so fun. They usually come in like big packs with lots of colors. So you could, you know, fill in just like when we made the textures, you could grab a color and fill it all in with this material as well. Doesn't have to be paint. You could go mixed media, add some paint over the top of this, which could be interesting. That's what I love about this type of art is you're just like, Hmm, why don't I try this? And why don't I put some of this on top of it and see if it's going to work out. So you can end up with a whole, library of these painted papers that you can use in various ways in your digital art, and it's so fun. Okay, do this green. I'll do this maybe light green. Kind of with it. It's kind of showing in all the white spots, which is kind of cool. That's kind of interesting. And I wonder if any of the paint will show up. I don't have a clean brush. Let's see. Well, I'll use this brush here and maybe I'll get some more of this green paint. These painsticks are kind of waxy, so I don't know if it's gonna work. I don't know. We'll see. That's kind of interesting. Go back and forth. Maybe this way, too. Oh, it's almost like Marvel. It's kind of fun. So there's another color, a second green, I guess. I did another green, but that's okay. Like I said, you can adjust the colors later so you have more colors. Maybe I'll do just one more. And this time I'm going to take the red and just put it right onto the paper. And do I want to mix in another color, a little bit of orange, maybe? Just kind of plop that on. Good man. A little bit of orange. And I have these really stiff brushes for, I think 'cause they're meant for paste. They're super stiff. Okay, what are we gonna do? Circular. You know what you could even do, which is fun is ditch the paint brush altogether and nese your fingers. If you want. I'm gonna stick with the paint brush, cause I want to get my fingers messy right now. Um, there's kind of a red. Some of the orange just kind of peek through, but not a ton. I could also do a little I don't know if I'll regret this, but how about some white. Oh, it's that gonna come out? Little blob, and there's another blob. And this will actually end up being, like, a cool pink. So you don't even need to mix colors on the palette, just like mix them right on the paper. Oh, this is a fun texture. Adding this white and kind of just doing these little motions. Lots of texture. Even leaving some of the paint, like, really thick. That's cool. Alright. So like I said, you could keep going with this for a while and just have fun painting papers. Like, you just spend a whole day painting papers before you even touch Procreate, and I think that's a good way to spend time. But once you've done, you know, do a few, and then you'll want to scan these in or photograph them. Either way, it's fine. Again, refer back to the video on digitizing your analog artwork, and then we can head into Procreate and create some artwork with these. 12. Film Roll: Digital Paper Collage: Alright, here we am Procreate. We're going to create a new canvas. Tap the plus sign in the upper right corner. And this time, we're going to do a horizontally oriented canvas. My favorite size for horizontal is 3,800 by 2,800 pixels. I have a template saved for that, but if you don't can tap the rectangle here. And again, the size is 3,800 by 2,800. Again, DPI doesn't matter. If you set it to pixels, you can give your template a name and check the little check mark there. I'm going to tap Cancel and choose my template. Alright, just like with the rotary phone, we're going to start this off with a sketch. We're going to be drawing a film canister, like a film roll today. So a little photography theme. We're going to go up to our brushes and head into the pencil set, and we'll choose the huntsman brush again. But again, any brush works for sketching. And so a film roll is essentially just a rectangle like this. Tall rectangle. We've got kind of a small rectangle that's a little bit longer on the top and bottom. And then the like middle of the roll that kind of sticks up like that. So that's the film canister. Roll, Caster. I don't know. Then we're going to have the end of the roll of film sticking out. So we're going to draw a line here, and this is where it's going to kind poke out from the can. And then we'll draw a line that way and a line that way, which will end up being our role, but the end of a film role actually has a little tab. So we're going to draw kind of a curve that'll go something like that. Oops, different every time. Okay, so you want to have a little kind of tab, and so this will end up being the film, like the actual film. And this part we can erase here. So it'll be kind of coming out that way. Okay, I'm going to move that with the transform tool center that a little bit. And then the other thing is we have the little kind of rectangles that are the perforations in the film. So we're going to draw some guidelines here. Just two lines like this there. And then also, again, whoops, at the bottom. Try and keep them kind of the same with a part. Mine aren't perfect, but hey, who needs perfection. Okay. And then there's gonna be like little rectangles inside here like that. And then down here as well. Try to have them evenly space, but they're supposed to line up with the ones on top. I'm not doing that great of a job, but that's okay. That's okay. Analog is all about imperfection anyways, right? We don't to be perfect. And then the other thing we're going to do is we'll have a design, very simple design on the film can. So we're going to draw kind of a line here going all the way down. And this will be one color on this side. And then this will have film has numbers on the cans, that's the film speed. It's, you know, it has to do with light, how much how, you know, good it is at different levels of light. Anyways, I was a photography major in college, you guys. I was actually a photographer, professional photographer for, like, 11 years. My husband and I were wedding photographers, and I loved going in the dark room in college. It was a lot of fun. So we'll put a number there, 400 you can put something else there if you want. So there's our little film sketch, and now we're going to draw the main shapes of this, and then we get to bring in all of our painted paper to colorize it. All right. So let's go up to our layers, and we're going to reduce the opacity of our sketch, tap the little N here, and then reduce it down to, like, like 15% or so. Make sure you guys can see that on camera. And then create a new layer, tap the plus sign. And then we're going to move this layer underneath our sketch layer. So we have the sketch on top and our new layer underneath. And then just like we did with the phone, we're going to use the selection tool to draw our shapes. So let's go up to the selection tool. Again, make sure you're in free hand mode, and we will begin with our film canister. So I'm going to actually draw it a little bit bigger because I'm going to have these kind of these shapes overlapping, these longer rectangles, so I'm drawing it a little bit bigger. But I'm going to tap tap tap, tap here and then tap here, and then tap this circle two. Select it. I happen to have color fill turned on, which is great. Like, that'll make things easier. But if you don't it's not filling in with the color like it is, you can tap color fill. And I'm just going to choose, like, a gray for now. We're going to add all the color with our painted paper. So the colors you choose for these shapes doesn't really matter at this point. So there's one. And then I'm also going to put this shape on this layer as well. Again, I'm drawing it a little bit bigger than I need it to be because it's going to be underneath Whoops. I'll do that one more time. It's going to be underneath this rectangle shape that's going to be on top of it. I think that's all that I can put on this layer. The most important thing is that any shapes that overlap each other, there'll be this rectangle overlapping or touching this giant rectangle here. You want to put those on separate layers. Right now, everything else is going to touch in one way or another. I'm going to go up to my layers and tap the plus to create a new layer, and then I will do these long rectangles here. I'm going to just tap in all the corners to make a rectangle shape. And whoops I accidentally turned color fill off. So color feels on. I'm going to make this a little darker just so I can see the different shapes when I'm looking at it. But again, the colors are not going to matter, really. We're going to add that. So I'm going to do this rectangle here. Awesome. And then also on this layer, I can do the actual film itself. So for that, I'm going to take a slightly different approach here. I am going to tap this end, so tap, tap for this side. I'll tap here. And then here I'm going to just draw it. So I'm going to just kind of trace that over until I get to, like, where the curvy part stops, and then I can close it off. So tap one more time. And then I have my piece of film. And I'm going to tap out of the selection tool just so I can get out of that for now, but I actually need to cut out these little rectangles that make the film perforation. So we're going to go back into the selection tool to do that. So tap the selection tool. And here's a little kind of easier way to do that. We're going to select this whole area like this, so I'm going to tap Tap, tap, and I'll have all of those shapes be like one big rectangle. Like that. And then I'm going to tap remove down here. Well, actually, before I do that, let's do this one, too. So tap, go all the way down, tap, tap, and then all the way back. So there we go. Now we're going to tap remove here. Tap remove and actually switch over to the rectangle mode. Trust the process here. So hit rectangle. And then we're going to just draw rectangle over the spaces in between, like that. And that will now refining the selection. So it's just these little rectangles, and they all line up with each other a little bit better than if I had free handed it, which is fine. So they're still not going to be super well spaced out. We're just drawing little rectangles. That's okay. Fun. Now you can see our selection is just these rectangles and now we just need to delete from this film shape. There's a couple of ways that you can do that. You can take three fingers and do a Z motion on your screen like this. And that will clear out that selections just deleting what was selected. So that's one way to do it. But another way if that gesture is difficult is you can go up to the layers, tap on the layer that you have selected this one, and then choose clear. And that will do the same thing. So now we have our little film perforation. Okay, let's do a couple more things. We're going to tap on the layer with the film, this rectangle, like the main film canister, tap the plus sign. And we are going to do this part, but we're going to use a clipping mask. So we're going to tap this new layer, and we're going to choose clipping mask, and then we're going to make a selection. So we're just going to tap over this one. And you can make it bigger than you need to. Like, I am here. You can see that's, like, bigger than it needs to be. Where's the end of that? Hm. Oh, because I'm in rectangle mode. Okay. Let's go to free hand mode. I'll try that again. I just undo. Take two. Let's do free hand mode. Tap Tap. Again, I'm making it bigger than it needs to be because it's a clipping mask, so it'll be fine. You can turn color fill back on. I'm going to make that a little bit darker so I know it's like or maybe I'll make it lighter. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I just want to know that it's like a different color and that I can see it. And then for these. It's kind of fun. There's a lot of ways that you could do the numbers, but I'm going to just tap them out kind of as if they were block letters. So I'm just kind of, like, tapping around but a little bit bigger than the number of shapes that I had drawn before. Takes a bit of visualizing, but, you know, I think you kind of get it. And then for these, I will kind of just draw a circle and then I'll draw another circle. And then I'm going to hit remove, and then I'm going to take out the middle of it, so watch this. Hopefully, I get it on the first try. Boom. As long as you close, you draw the circle, and then you close it by tapping the gray like dot, it'll clear that out. So now I have my numbers as well. And so those are all the main shapes for this illustration, and now we are ready to start adding our painted paper. So let's go up to our layers, and we're going to turn off our sketch layer, uncheck it here. Alright, so now we're ready to add in the color using our painted paper. The way that this works is using a lot of clipping masks. So we've been using clipping mask quite a bit already in this class, but that's how we're going to add the color into the shape. So let's start with the main shape, like this big film can, the rectangle. We already have a clipping mask right above it. So if we tap the layer that actually has the big rectangle and tap the plus sign, it'll create a it'll create a clipping mask automatically because it's between another clipping mask. So that's easy. Our film canister is going to be yellow because it feels very nostalgic like Kodak to me. Okay, so we're going to go to the Actions menu at, and then insert a photo. I have airdrop them to my camera roll, so that's where they are. Insert a photo. And I'm going to choose this yellow kind of painted paper that I made. And I'm going to basically just drag it into position where I want it. I can resize it to kind of, like, adjust the scale of the painted paper. You can also pinch it in and out like that and kind of just, like, get it how you want it, and then you can tap the selection tool to kind of get out of that. Now, a couple of things. I don't want this to be the um yellow that's going to end up being black for me. So all I need to do is just erase or delete that part of the painted paper. So you can actually, use your selection tool to kind of select around it. And then if you have color fill turned off, you want color field turned off, and then you can, like, do that Z motion to clear it out. And you can see I've just deleted that. So it's not in the way. It's not in that. That's going to need to be black later. And then the other thing is we want I might want the yellow to be a little bit brighter. So let's make some adjustments to kind of gouge up the painted paper. The first thing I like to do is kind of bump up the contrast a little bit using curves. So if you go up to the adjustments menu and go to curves, again, you can adjust the brightness of it this way is probably better than using if you're used to using hue saturation brightness adjustment to adjust brightness. I would recommend this because it retains the texture a lot better. So you can do, you know, make it brighter or less bright. If you tap this, you can delete it to kind of reset it. But if you wanted something to be more contrasty, you could bring this side of the curve up and this side down, and you can see that like, increases the contrast a lot, also makes it a little bit more saturated. But, um, you know, I don't know if I like it for this, so I'm going to undo and maybe just make it a little bit brighter. Maybe just bring this side down a little bit. So you kind of play around with the curves until it looks like something that works for you. And then the other thing that you can adjust is actually the hue saturation adjustment. So if you go back up to the adjustments menu, hue saturation brightness. One, you can adjust the hue. You wanted to do it a different color. I am going to stick with my yellow, though. You can make it more or less saturated. I'll bump that a little bit. And then I don't recommend using brightness because it kind of makes it look kind of faded or I don't know, it just like lightens it and darkens it in not a nice way. So I don't recommend using that for this. But I'll bump up the saturation just a little bit. Okay, so that's looking pretty good for that part of my film can. The other thing that's on this layer is this little bit here. So actually, I'll come back to that. Let's tap up to the layer with these rectangles and the piece of film and then tap the plus sign to create a new layer right above that. And then we're going to tap that layer, that new one and choose clipping mask, and then we can drop in our painted paper. So we're going to go up to the Actions menu, insert a photo, and we film is kind of brownish color, so I didn't make a brown one, but I could use a different one and kind of change the color. So maybe I'll try using this blue and kind of just see what happens. They don't always adjust the best, so I'm going to rotate this because I want kind of it to go this way. There's kind of like a linear sort of pattern to it. I'm not worried about these sections here, just what's on the film. And then I'll go up to the adjustments menu, hue saturation brightness and kind of play around with that until I get kind of a brownish color. Brown is really just like a dark orange. So I'm going to go to, like, something orangy and then and then I'll probably I'm not going to actually, the brightness is not too shabby here. You can try brightness. I don't always love it, but here it's not too bad. It's kind of giving a very kind of film sort of color, which has a brown tint to it. So that actually works pretty good for the film. I'll do that. And then I'm going to get my selection tool and get rid of these areas because I'm going to put a different texture there. So I'm selecting around those shapes and then just do my little Z motion to clear them out. And so now if I wanted to bring the right color that I want, which is like a black into those areas, I would use a second clipping mask. So I'm going to tap the layer that has the shapes of the film in those rectangles, tap the plus sign. And since it's between another clipping mask, it'll automatically be clipping mask. And now let's import one of our papers. So I'm going to go up to the Actions menu, add sort of photo, and I did one that was black. So I'm going to select that. Now, when I photograph this, it ended up looking kind of gray. So we'll adjust it to make it a little bit more black, but I'm going to adjust the size and move it to where I want it to be. It looks pretty good. And then I'll I'll probably go to the curves adjustment. So dJustinpnu curves. Bring that down a bit, so I'm getting it looking a little bit more black. I think it looks pretty good. I like how you can kind of see a little bit of yellow in there, which is nice. So bring the lights down, play around with that a little bit. Okay. And that's like almost all the way black. Okay, it looks pretty good. And the other thing I know is going to be black is this little bit on top of the film roll. So I'm actually going to just duplicate this adjusted painted paper that's already black and already, like, I've done all the adjusting on it. I'm going to swipe to the left and choose duplicate. Now I have two of them. And then I'm going to move that down underneath the yellow painted paper layer here. It's going to automatically be a clipping mask because it's in between other clipping masks. And now you can just move it around. So I'm going to go to the Transform tool, little arrow and maybe find a different spot in it. I like how you can see some of the yellow kind of poking out there. That's cool. Yeah, so that kind of saves a little bit of time there. Okay, so the last thing we're going to do is add the This is going to end up being green. This will be a little green stripe and a green 400. But it's a little bit different. We can't do a clipping mask to this layer because it is a clipping mask itself. So we might do this one a little bit differently. You'll see. Let's go ahead and tap the plus sign, and we'll still make it a clipping mask. I'm going to tap this new layer and choose clipping mask. And then we'll import our green. So we're going to go up to Actions Menu insert a photo. And I think I'm going to do this one that's like I did it with the paint sticks, the temper paint sticks. And then I'm going to move that into position. Maybe I'll flip it around. I don't know. Okay. That looks pretty good. And now, essentially what I need to do is kind of cut out the shape of this 400 and this rectangle. So here's a quick way to do that. If you tap this layer that has the 400 and the rectangle, tap it again to pull up this menu and choose Select, and then tap invert. So when the toolbar pops up, tap invert, and that'll select the area around those shapes. Then you're going to go to layer with the green. Or whatever color it is for you. And we'll do our little three fingers D and clear that out. So now you can see it's the same shape, and it's all good. So now we can keep working with that. The only thing is you can't you do it this way, you can't, move it around or you're moving, you know, the shapes around. But I'm going to make this a little bit darker, so I'm going to go up to my adjustments menu, curves, and darken that up a little bit. Just kind of pull the curve down. And I like that kind of dark green against the yellow. I looks really good. And let's also go ahead and add a paper texture background or overlay to this one, just like we did with the phone. So I'm going to go up to the top layer and just tap the plus sign and create a new layer. And let's go back to Unsplash and find a new image to use for a paper texture. Now, there is another great website you can check out for doing paper textures called pexels.com. That's another one that I like. Unsplash and Pexels are my two favorite for getting stock photography. I like this one here. You can have some little wrinkles and stuff. So I'm going to go ahead and download that. Download. And it will go into my Downloads folder, so I'm going to go back to Procreate. I'm going to tap the actions and then insert a file this time since it goes to my files app, and there's my paper texture. I can do rotate 45 degrees. I can do fit to Canvas and then kind of make that a little bit bigger. And then I'll set the blend mode of this paper texture to multiply. So we'll tap N and then multiply. And it has a little bit of a darkening effect overall on the piece because it's kind of a grayish color. So if you don't like the way that that looks in this case, you can instead of doing, multiply blend mode over the top of it, you can just put it underneath everything and see how I don't know if you've noticed, but you can kind of see it here. So because that's kind of a darker paper texture, it ends up darkening, see? So if you don't like that and you want to retain the colors, you can just put it underneath everything. And I think for this piece, it definitely works it being underneath versus on top because we have all this beautiful analog texture going on, anyways. So yeah, I really love this technique. This is kind of one of my favorite ways to make art is to draw stuff with a selection tool and put in a painted paper texture. It's just really satisfying. I love it so much. And it really has that almost like paper cut collage feel. If you want to learn more about doing a paper cut effect in Procreate and adding realistic shadows, so it really looks like you cut out of paper. Check out my realistic papercut class. It's a really fun class and the technique, the results of the technique are mind boggling how realistic they look. You'll find that available here in Skillshare, if you want to take my papercut class. In the next video, I'm going to share some more examples of painted paper artwork that I've made. See you there. 13. More Painted Paper Examples: In this video, I'm going to show you a few more examples of painted paper artwork I've made in Procreate. This first piece is the Apple Illustration that I mentioned when we were doing our painted papers. For this one, I did grab a couple apples, and I tried to paint them in colors that were like the apples. So I kind of had something in mind going into this one, but I really love the way that it turned out. Here's a little grouping of veggies. I sketched everything out, and then I drew all the shapes using the selection tool. And then I colorized them using a whole bunch of different painted papers. There is a striped painted paper, which you'll see make multiple appearances here. It's in the melon, the pumpkin, the onion, and the mushrooms. I just used procreate to change the colors of it, and then I use liquefy to make the striped contour around the shapes of the vegetables. The next few pieces all stem from my art retreats that I do. I've done this art retreat in France a couple times, but this is a piece that I use as sort of, like, the branding of the retreat. I use pen and paper to color many of the main shapes, but I also used a lot of illustration in this one. So there's a lot of, you know, procreate brushes and things to do the illustrated details like the castle, little knight, the little details on the trees and things like that. I love this combination of analog and digital. At this retreat, which took place in France, we spent a lot of time doing painted paper projects. So we had fun just, like, painting all kinds of papers, and then we use these to create these beautiful tabletop illustrations. Here's the first one I did as the kind of example before the retreat. And then I created this one, and this is using all painted papers that we made together as a group during the retreat, which is really special. Lots of use of the selection tool to draw everything, but I also use some fun textured brushes for all the illustrated details on the plate, cup, the vase, the fork, and on the towel. And here's the version I did the second time I hosted this retreat. This is using all new painted papers because it was a new group of people, so everybody contributed some really beautiful papers, and I came up with this. And here's a very simple version of that project. I also illustrated the chateau that we stayed at using painted papers, which this is a really meaningful piece because this place brings back so many wonderful memories. And I love the grass on this one. I think the person who made this painted paper used a stick or maybe even a fork or something to create all the little marks. Here's a few sticker designs that I made using painted papers. Here's another piece. This is a little bit different I use both analog painted papers and digital brushes. So a lot of the kind of rough texture on these all comes from procreate brushes. So you can also make painted papers right on your iPad, too, although doing the analog part, I think is the fun part. So don't skip out on that, but you can use different kinds of brushes to create sort of a painted paper effect and achieve a similar look. Here's another piece using digitally made painted papers. And this radish piece, I also use digital painted papers. One more with digitally painted papers, but this one I added the paper cut effect that I mentioned during the lesson. And I really think it takes the whole thing up a notch when you have all those really great shadows. It really sells the collage look. There's another piece that I did using some painted papers, some just paper textures. And then I added all the papercut shadows on this piece. And I just love the texture. It feels like you could just reach out and touch it, but it was all done digitally. I hope you enjoyed seeing some more artwork using this painted paper technique. It's really one of my favorite ways to make art. It's so much fun piecing all the colors together. Up next, we'll move into our final project of this class, and we'll kick it off with another analog warm up. I'll see you there. 14. Analog Warmup 3: Circle Party: Welcome to your digital warm up for our final lesson of this class. We are going to be doing a little circle party here. What you're going to need are some art supplies, and I recommend collecting as many as you can that are black. So this can be anything. I've got sharpies, I've got crayons, markers, colored pencils, paint, ink, anything. And if it's close to black, like dark blue, I'm not going to fault you for that. Like, use what you got. So what we're going to do is we're going to have 1 minute to fill our paper with as many different circles as we can, using as many different art supplies as we can. And this can be messy and very imperfect. Just kind of go for it. Again, this is to help loosen you up and get you ready to make some art. Okay, I'm going to start the timer now. All right, so I'm just going to grab a pen and draw a circle and color it in and then maybe do a smaller one over here. They can be outlines or they can be filled in in whatever way you want. But I recommend working quickly. And then moving on, let's grab this sharpie. Oops I marked my hands. Then you can color them in, let it be messy. What kind of different ways can we call it that in? Maybe some little dots here. Alright, let's get a crayon. Color this one in sort of a swirl way. We do another one here, and I can get in there. Kind of haphazard. Do a really big, messy one like that. Oh, let's grab this Tambo pen. And I think I'll just leave that one as an outline. I can do one over here. That's kind of fun. What else do we got? I have this woody vestibulo woody. I love these things. They're actually water soluble. You can water stem, and they activate, which is really cool. Oh, there's like a circle in a circle. That's interesting. Okay. What I did the crayon. Oh, I have these paint sticks, which are really fun. I'll do a couple of those. Whoop. And I also have some ink. I think I've gone over a minute, you guys. But it's just so fun. So do as many as you want. You don't have to stop after a minute if you're like, getting in the flow. Oh, these are fun. Okay, so that's probably almost 2 minutes, but that's okay. So there's our circle party, just a page filled with circles. Here's another one that I did previously, and I think they're so fun. There's a lot of really cool textures there. So now that we're all warmed up, we're going to move into our final project for this class, which is the process of taking basic shapes and using them as building blocks of an illustration. So if you're ready, I will see you in the next video. 15. Globe: Analog Drawn Shapes: Welcome to our final illustration for this course. Very excited about this one. What you're going to need today is you're going to need some art supplies. Collect as many different kinds of art supplies as you can in black or something really dark, like a dark blue, dark purple, something that's dark. So I have colored pencils. I've got some crayons. I've got these. This is bistiblo. They're like, giant crayons that are water soluble. Markers. I've got sharpies big and small. I've also got some ink here that I've diluted with water and some paint brushes. Again, just use what you have, and you'll be ready to go. So we're creating a globe illustration today, and it's made up of a few simple shapes. We're going to need some circles. We're going to need some circles that are kind of like outlines, and we're going to need some lines and half circles. So we're going to start with the circles, filled in circle. So go ahead and pick up one of your art supplies. I'll start with this marker here, and you're going to draw a circle like that. Not too big, and then you're going to color it in. And you can color it in in whatever way you want. I'm kind of doing a sory sort of color in here. Go. Okay, so that's pretty good. And then I'm going to grab something else. I will choose this Tambo marker. And these don't have to be perfect circles, like if they're a little off, that's actually something that we can adjust in procreate. So don't worry if they're not perfect circles. That's totally fine. It's impossible to draw a perfect circle by hand unless you're using a stencil, I guess. There we go. So there's another one. I'll use this crayon now. And we'll do a swirly kind of circular coloring in. Try to fill in all the white spots as best I can. It's okay if there's, you know, some kind of peeking through, but it'll look better if it's more kind of filled in for the most part. Okay, so that's pretty good. It's still rough, which is great. So that's crayon. What haven't I use? I have these tempera paint sticks, so I'll do like that. And we probably won't use all of these different styles, but we're just kind of having a variety of, you know, mediums to choose from when it comes to making our globe. And you can pick whatever one works best. Okay, so let's do I'm going to do my ink here. Actually I'm use this smaller brush. They're just like kids brushes. Very cheap. Um, it's very solid filled in. I'm going to dip into some water, kind of water it down, and do another one that's a little bit more grayish, so I can really see, you know, the paint or the ink kind of pooling. That's really good. I can also do I have this brush here. Maybe I'll make I don't know. One that's kind of wonky and dry. Again, just have fun, experiment. Maybe it'll work well for your illustration, maybe not. Maybe it'll work well for something down the line. You never know. Okay, that one's very dry, but it looks cool. And I'm going to do one more. What haven't I used yet? Oh, I haven't used a colored pencil, so I'll do a colored pencil one right here. And then I'm gonna color it in like this. And honestly, this is the hardest part of the entire process is coloring in the circles, the big circles. Everything else is pretty easy breezy. And that says something, 'cause this is not super hard. Alright. Almost colored in. I'm trying to fill in all the white spots, but leaving a little bit visible. Okay. So here are all my circles. So I did this previously, and I actually wrote down what medium I used for these. So I thought it'd be interesting in case I forget what material that I used. So like, here's this tablo. It's this one. And I did one where I added water to it the water activates it, which is pretty cool. I also have some oil pastels. This is what we're going to do in a second. Here's another sheet. And I wrote down the different things I use. This is really like water down ink, which looks really cool. And then this one's on watercolor paper, so it actually gives all the colored pencils end up having a totally different texture. So you can also play around with the paper type because you'll get, different textures depending on what kind of paper you use. Okay, let's keep going. We are also going to need some outlined circles that aren't filled in. So let's go ahead and do that next. I'm going to start with this big marker here, and just like that. That's all that it needs to be. Then I'll do another one here. And as far as how thick the line should be, like, this is pretty good. We don't want it to be super thin of a line. This one's very kind of messy because I'm trying to make it thicker, but that's okay it adds character. And if they aren't super perfect circles, that's fine, too. I'll do a crayon. Here. Dah, dah. And what else do I have? I will do this marker, Tombo. It's pretty dry, so there's a bit of softness to this mark here. I don't need brand new art suppi. Sometimes, the old crappy ones work even better. Okay, so we've got some filled in circles. I've got some outline circles. Want to have a variety to choose from. And then we have two more shapes that we're going to do. So I'm going to put this one off to the side here. And then. And then we are going to get this one bled through, so I'm gonna I'll put that underneath in case it decides to bleed through again. Okay, so now we're going to fill this one with our next building block. So we need a line for the next one, so I will and kind of like a thick ish line. This is like how the globe is going to attach to the base. So that's a good line. And they're longer than they're gonna need to be in the end, but we'll cut them down sort of when we get them into Procreate. So kind of these long rectangle sort of. There's one. Oh, maybe I'll do an inky one. That's good or maybe water down my ink a little bit more. Nice. Well, what else? This is kind of thick, but maybe if I use it at, like, on the edge, do something like that. And I think I did colored pencil, so crayon. Oh, that's really thick. I'll just do another one. There's no messing up here. Just like do another one if you don't like how it came out. But it might surprise you and you might actually end up liking it in the end Oops See, I messed that one up top. That's okay. Maybe I'll do thinner one like that. Okay, so there are lots of lines for me to choose from. And then the last thing that we're going to need for our globe illustration is a half circle, and that's going to end up being the base of the globe. So just like before, grab a material and draw a half circle like this and color it in. There's a shirpie. I'll do this other marker. Even like these different markers have sort of a different effect. The size don't matter. Like, these are two different sizes, but that's okay cause in procreate, we can resize everything. So here's the stabil woody. Color it in. I definitely want to do an inky one. I like how you can see, like, it's like lighter gray in spots and darker gray. Kind of a messy half circle, that's right. What else? Let's do Tombo. This is a gray tombo, so that could be an interesting effect. Who's see? Okay. And then maybe I'll do, like, a colored pencil one. Okay. So I think that's pretty good for all of my shapes, and that's all we need. So again, we've got filled in circles, open circles, lines and half circles. And so the next step is going to be to digitize these. And a couple of things to know here when you're digitizing these is especially if you're photographing them, you don't want to photograph the whole pages the whole page at once, like this. Instead, I would zoom in on each individual shape and take a picture that way. The main reason being that you'll get a much higher resolution, you know, digital version of these if you do them one at a time versus, like, do them this and then kind of cut them apart. So there's that one. So I'm just going to go through and do all of them. And I'm using a two time Zoom right now, so you could use a one Zoom and then get close. As long as the focus is good, that's going to be the main thing. And then, of course, like I mentioned in the video where I teach you about digitizing your analog work. Make sure you have good lighting. I have studio lights on so that I can light all this up for this video. But, you know, you can use window light, indirect. Sometimes direct light, like bright sun lights them up really good. So that works. Then I'm going to move this one. Put it here. Okay. And then for these, you can do just like a few at a time, you know, you don't have to do each individual line. I guess you could go this way and get even closer or do a two time Zoom. But, you know, you can do a few at a time and then cut them out. And those ones. But you do want to make sure that you don't have your phone like at an angle like this. You want to be right on top of it so they aren't all, like, warped. And then these guys here, maybe I'll do like two per photo. Of course, if you scan them and you do it at extra high resolution, like 600 DPI or higher, you can crop in, and, you know, they'll be enlarged in lots of resolution. So that's another way to do it. Me close to that guy. Okay, so I've digitized all of my photos there. Got them all. Okay, so once you've digitized all of your little shapes, we can move to the iPad. So you want to, you know, airdrop all the photos or your scans to your iPad, and we'll get started with our illustration. 16. Globe: Digital Shape Illustration: All right, so here we are in Procreate. Let's start this piece by creating a new canvas. We're going to tap the plus sign in the upper right, and we're going to do another vertically oriented canvas. I'm going to use my template that is 2,800 by 3,500 pixels. Sit ahead and start a new canvas. And we're actually going to back right out into the gallery view in order to prep our shapes to be a part of our illustration. So let's tap back to gallery. And I've airdropped all those photos I took of the different shapes. They're on my iPad in my camera roll. So I'm going to tap where it says photos. If you transferred them through Airdrop or maybe they're in your Fils app, you want to tap Import if it's in your files App. But if they're in your camera roll, tap photo, and you can see they're all here. I'm going to pick one of these to start with to be my main part of the globe. I think I'm going to use this first one that I did right here, so I'm going to tap that one. And so what we're going to do is we're going to be selecting shapes, the shape out of here and pacing it onto the other one. So the first thing that makes doing the selection part a little bit easier is if we touch up the background and just brighten it a bit. So we're going to do that using the curves adjustment. Go up to the adjustments menu and choose curves. And again, on the curves adjustment, this side of it adjusts the light value. So if we grab this node that's over here on the right and then push it towards the left, you can see how it takes those kind of grayish background and makes them pure white. If you keep going all the way, it turns everything white, so you don't want to do that, but just enough so that the background is white. Just makes the selection part of it a little bit easier. And another thing if you know this marker I use is kind of purplish. So I'm just going to desaturate this too while I'm here. So if you go up to the adjustments menu and choose hue saturation brightness and just on the saturation slider, you just move that all the way down. Okay. So now we're ready to select. So we're going to go to the selection tool. And this time we're going to use the automatic selection. And what we're going to do is we're going to tap somewhere outside of the shape, but don't lift your pencil off the screen. So I'll do that. So I'm going to tap and hold, and then I'm going to slide back and forth. And you'll see as I slide this way, it kind of starts picking up bits of the background, which, you know, if you go all the way to the left, but if you slide all the way to the right, it starts selecting inside the shape. So you kind of want to find the sweet spot where it's not getting anything of the background, but it's also not going into the shape. So I think that's pretty good right there. And then we're going to delete what we have selected, which is the background. You can use the three finger methods, so three fingers like that. And you'll see in the layers that the background has gone, if the gesture is difficult, you can always tap the layer and choose clear to clear out the background. And now we can take this shape and we can put it into our artwork. So we're going to tap the selection tool one more time, and we're going to go to the free hand mode again. And then we'll just do a selection around it because there happened to be some other things in this photo. So I'm just going to select what I need, and then you can use copy paste. So there's a few ways to do copy paste. I like to do the gesture, which is three finger swipe down. We'll get the copy paste menu and you can choose Copy. You can also go into layers, tap the layer and choose copy. Or you can go to the Actions menu, add and choose Copy. Always work whatever's best for you. And then we're going to go back out to gallery and open up the canvas that we made and then paste it in. So three fingers swipe down and choose paste, or you can go up to the Actions menu and choose paste. There is no paste in this menu in the layers, just so you know, I don't know why. The only one there's in that is copy, but there's not paste. Okay, so we've got our circle that's going to make up the main part of our globe. I'm going to just use the transform tool to kind of move it into position. I'm going to make it a little bit smaller and just make sure there's enough room to do the base of the globe, as well. So that's pretty good. But I do notice that my circle I drew is a little I don't know, little squished, and I want to make it a little bit more closer to a true circle. So to do that, it's really easy. You can do it using liquefy. If you go up to the adjustments menu here, find liquefy. Choose the push option, and then you also are going to want to adjust your brush size to be pretty big. I'm at like 72% or 80%. And then you can just slowly kind of drag the edges out, push them in wherever you need to to kind of make it more of a perfect circle like that. I mean, it's never going to be perfect. Just a little bit more round. So that looks pretty good. So I'll get out of there. And you can to see if I undo before and after. There you go. So that looks good. Alright, next we're going to add we're going to bring in all the different shapes and then we're going to add color to them afterwards. So next we're going to do this kind of the, like, metal part that's a part of the base, the stand that actually holds the globe at on its axis. So let's go back out to gallery, and we're going to tap the plus, no, sorry, we're going to tap photo. And import another photo. And this time we need our outline circle. These one's right here. I'm going to choose this one, which I believe is this one. And we're going to go through those same steps again. So we're going to go to our adjustments venue curves. We're going to brighten up the background by dragging this node that's over on the right, drag it to the left until the background turns white like that. And then we're going to go to the selection tool. We're going to choose automatic and we're going to select somewhere. We're going to select somewhere outside of the shape. This is a shape that has an opening, but we'll get to that. Don't worry. So again, tap outside of the shape, move it back and forth until you have proper selection. Not too much of the outside. That's good. And for this one, after you lift your pencil, you're going to also want to tap inside, and that'll select inside. And there happens to be two circles on this photo, so I can do both of them at the same time. That way, if I want to use that one, it's ready to go. Okay, so now I'm going to clear out the background with a three finger scrubbing motion, little Z motion. And now I can select this. This also kind of has a little bit of a bluish purple tint, so I'm going to go up to the hue saturation brightness and kind of desaturate that. Okay. These ones didn't I wouldn't have needed it for that, these ones I do. Anyhow, now I'm going to go back to my selection tool, tap back over to free hand and just draw a selection just around the one that I want this one. And then I can copy paste. So I like the gesture, swipe down with three fingers, copy. And back out to the gallery view and back to our artwork, and we're going to paste that in. So I'll swipe down with three fingers and choose paste. And then I'm going to resize this so that's what we want is it to be a little bit bigger than our circle shape, but it's also kind of squished when I drew it. So we'll use liquefy to kind of get it into the right position and the right shape. So I'm going to go up to the adjustments menu and choose liquefy. And then I'm just going to push this so that there's kind of like an outline around the whole circle, like a little gap in between, something like that. So that looks pretty good. You can see there's like a white gap in between. Okay. So again, this is the part of the globe that's like, you know, holds it. If I had a picture of a globe. Hopefully, it makes sense. You can always look one up. Let's maybe even look one up here. Globe. Okay, here we go. So that's a great example. This is a lot like the globe. So it's this part. This around part with little like I don't know, little numbers on it. That's what we're making. Okay, so we only need half of this, so we're actually going to use a selection tool to erase half we don't need. So you're going to go to your selection tool. Make sure you're free hand. And then we're going to it's going to be at an angle like this, so I'm going to start here, tap, and then I'm going to stretch it across to there, and then come back around this way and close the selection, and then I'll clear that out with my little three finger Oops. There we go. So now you can see now you see what we're doing here, I think. Okay, so that looks good. The next thing is to add the base. So we need our next two shapes. We're going to be the line in the half circle. So let's go back out to Gallery. Let's tap the plus sign, and we're going to Oh, no, I keep doing that. It's just a force of habit. We're going to tap photo, not the plus sign. So tap photo. And we're going to choose one of our lines now. And I'm just going to decide which one I want. I kind of like this one here, so I'll choose that one, this one. Okay, so I'm going to go to adjustments, curves. And white in the background like that. And then I'm going to go to selection automatic. And then adjust the selection by sliding back and forth. Now, this line over here is a lot lighter than this line over here. So, you know, even though this selection looks pretty good, this one's kind of, you know, leading into itself, and that's okay. Like, I'm just going to focus on this one for now. If I want to use this one, I might go back and redo the process, but it's just because they're kind of, like, two different values. Okay. So I think it looks pretty good for that one. So I'm going to clear out the selection. Actually, it doesn't look half bad. Then I will select just that one with the free hand mode. And copy paste. Copy and go back here and choose paste. And then we're going to resize and reposition. And it's way longer than it needs to be, but that's okay because we're going to cut it apart just like we did with the half circle, this outline of a circle. But what do you want is a good thickness. If you make it really big, it's going to be a very thick line. If you make it really small, it'll be a very thin line. So that's kind of what I'm adjusting for is like the thickness of that line. And you want it centered in the circle. So probably about right there is good. And then we will erase parts of it, but we'll come back to that. I want to add the last bit. So let's go back to the gallery view and tap photo and do our last one. I think I'm going to do this one, if you want to, though, you can grab your actual image, like the actual paper and see which one you like. It might be easier than looking at it on the screen, but I kind of like this one, that's the one. So I'm going to choose that one. Alright, let's lighten the background. Adjustments curve, grab this node, pull it to the left. Looks good. And then we'll go to our selection tool, automatic. Just the selection. That looks good. Clear it out. And go back to our selection tool and go to free hand mode and select the one we want. Copy paste. As you can see, once you kind of get the process, it can go really quickly, but it goes a little bit slow when I'm explaining every step. But these things do really come together quite quickly when you're just like in the moment. Okay, so I'm going to paste that one in paste. And I'm going to rotate it so that it's flat on the bottom, and move it down here and kind of resize it to whatever kind of size I want this base to be. That looks pretty good right there. Okay. Now we need to do a little bit of cutting and rearranging of our layers. I'm going to move the layer with the line underneath all the other layers, and then I'll just use the selection tool to erase the part I don't need here. There we go. I also need to erase Whips right here. I'm going to get the selection tool and just erase this part of the line because the line only goes into where that round part is. I'll clear that out. I should look something like that with the line just being between the outline circle and the half circle. Okay. So we've got all the pieces of the illustration ready to go, ready to add some color. So let's do that part next. Let's go up to our layers, and let's start with the main globe, like the actual globe part. So select the layer with the big filled in circle and tap the plus sign to create a new layer. And we're going to use a clipping mask, so we're going to tap that new layer and choose clipping mask. And now we're going to fill that layer with the color that we want the globe to be. So let's go up to our color picker circle and pick a color. I like a kind of greenish bluish color like that. Don't want a color that's like all the way over here. These are super saturated. There's no black in it at all, no darkness. Come in and I like a little bit of a muted color because it complements looks a little bit more realistic with the analog textures, I think. So maybe I'll pick that for my color, and then I'm going to just grab the color picker circle and drop it onto the canvas, and that'll fill the layer with color. So you can see in the layers that whole layer is filled with color. Of course, it only shows up where the actual shape is of that circle because of the clipping mask. And now we get to choose a blend of mode to colorize it. There are multiple blend modes that'll work well for this, so you kind of play around with it but tap the N. And these ones up at the top, they have a darkening effect? They're not my favorite for this technique. I kind of like to go down from normal. Screen is nice if you want to have, like, a very light airy kind of feel, especially if the color that you've chosen is a light color. So that's not too bad, but I'm going to keep looking. That's overlay. It's really contrasty. Soft light. That one's kind of nice, too. Even hard light is really nice. Like a lot of these will work. So I just kind of like recommend going through and experimenting. Color is also a really good option that just takes whatever color you have and colorizes, you know, the shape that's below it or whatever's on the layer below it. So that's kind of a good one. So let's choose color for now. And then I also want to show you that if it's feeling a little bit dark, you can make some adjustments. So if you choose your layer with the big shape, the big circle shape, you can go up to your curves. So go to adjustments, curves. And you can play around with that. You know, maybe I want it to be a little lighter, or maybe I can move this node over. Oh no, I don't want to maybe I can move that down if I wanted the bright parts to be a little darker. Um, you know, I can move both this one down and this one up, and it's a little less contrasty. So just like we were doing with the first illustration with the phone, kind of adjusting the levels of the texture, you can do that for this, too. So I think that looks pretty good. I'm going to leave that as is. So now let's go ahead and colorize the rest, so the actual stand itself. So let's start with this one that's kind of going around. So I'm going to select that layer with the kind of half circle outline shape, tap the plus sign, and then tap the new layer and choose clipping mask. And then I'm going to choos a color. I'm going to choose kind of a gold color. So gold can be somewhere in the yellow orange kind of colors, but it's kind of like a dark, yellowy orange kind of color. So I think that would probably work well as a gold. So I'll give it a try and drag and drop that on, and then we'll change the blend mode. And I'm going to use a different blend mode than I did for the other one. Let's go ahead and tap the N. And again, scroll through and see what looks good to you. Like, you know, add doesn't look bad. A lot of these have a real darkening effect. The one I really like is linear light and it looks pretty dark, but that's mainly because this shape here is so dark, so let's adjust that with curves. Adjustments menu curves. There's a lot of tweaking that you end up doing. It looks pretty good. So if I really brighten that up, and I can also choose a little bit lighter of a color, too, and that'll kind of change the way it looks like that looks really a little bit too bright. So you can kind of choose a little bit darker of a color, and that will have a different effect. You can also go to the hue saturation brightness and just kind of play around with the saturation and the brightness to kind of get it the color that you want it to be a little bit darker. Looks pretty good. So once you get it the way that you like, we're going to use that same layer to actually colorize the half circle in this line. So we're going to duplicate this two times. So we're going to swipe to the left and choose duplicate, swipe to the left and choose duplicate. Don't worry that it's making this look a little crazy. But let's drag this one and put it on top of the half circle. When I move it, it kind of gets rid of the clipping mask, so we have to set that back up again. So tap this layer and choose clipping mask. And there you can see I have my color on there, and then I'm going to move the other duplicate down to the layer with the line. Tap it and choose clipping mouse. So now I've colorized everything pretty quickly using just duplicating that layer. And again, if you want to make any adjustments, you know, feel free to use the curves to, you know, make some adjustments to these shapes if you want. That looks pretty good. Okay. So now we get to add some illustrated details to this piece using some procreate brushes. So there's a couple of details that we want to add. There's going to be a little metal rod that kind of connects this curve shape, this curve metal shape to the actual globe itself. So we'll illustrate that and we'll draw it in. And then the actual countries are the continents of the globe. So let's start with that little rod, metal rod. We're going to tap the plus sign to create a new layer, and I'm going to move this layer underneath all the other layers, so it's all the way at the bottom. And then we're going to select the right color by selecting something off. You know, there's a lot of tones. There's like, really, you know, dark, dark, brownish, gold color, and there's lighter colors. So just kind of pick something that seems like it works. That's pretty good. But we also need to choose a brush that's going to kind of complement what's already there. So when you're choosing brushes to go with, you know, analog media that you've brought in photographed, you know, you want brushes that have an analog feel too that usually complements it a little bit better. So, thankfully, there's a lot of good procreate brushes just in the default brushes that emulate, you know, physical media really well. Pencils are a fun choice. I like to combine, like, pencil with this kind of, like, I don't know, it almost looks markery to me. There are markers that you can try as well. You can just, you know, make some marks with it and see what you like. This one's called Sleepy Head. I'm going to make this a little brighter or, like, more gold. There we go. What else? We can try some painty kind of brush. Is like Guash has a good one called loyalty if you want something a little more textured. So you can kind of play around and see what works good. I love this brush called nowhere else from the ink set. That's a fun brush. I a different color. So, you know, that's an option as well. I think I'll use that one. So I'm choosing nowhere else, and it's from the ink set. So I'm going to clear out all these marks that I made. And now we're just going to draw a line that goes all the way through the globe like that. So I'm going to just draw something like that. I'm actually going to make my brush size a bit bigger. So I want that to look. Maybe I'll go over a second time to make it thicker like that. This brush has very much like a marker kind of feel, so it really works well, you know, adding it into this very marker looking illustration. I'm going to add a little I don't know, a little detail there, where the rod actually goes through the globe, it looks pretty good. So that's all we really need to do for that. But the next step is to add our land formations in the globe. So go up to your layers, and we're going to choose a layer that has the blue, like the filled in blue color and tap the plus sign to create a layer right above that. And we're going to make this clipping mask, so tap it and choose clipping mask so we can only draw within that shape. And we will be using a blend mode for this, but let's we'll do that in a moment. For now, let's go ahead and choose a color. So I'm going to do a nice kind of deep green for the land part. Kind of see how it's looking. There you go. And you can always adjust colors later, but I'm also going to choose a different brush this time. So let's go up to our brushes, and I'm going to use, I think, from the gouache set, there's the brush, the loyalty, which I think is just like a really nice brush. And this is a little hard to see. So I want to show you this. So go ahead and make some marks without drawing all, you know, the land and stuff like that, just so you can kind of see how the blend mode is going to work. So just do a mark with loyalty, and then let's go to our blend modes and just kind of see what one works. I was thinking multiply would be probably the best one here because it has a nice darkening effect. Everything else is not ideal. So let's go ahead and choose multiply. It's at the very top of the list, and that'll be a good, you know, color for our land, and that the brush looks really nice with these textures already. So let's clear that out and then draw our texture or our land. And, you know, I'm going to do a very terrible job here because I don't have an image in front of me. If you're worried about how things are looking, you can always look up a map of the world and make sure you get it right. But I'm just going to kind of go for it. I like to always, like, I don't know. Just kind of draw my memory. And we'll see how it goes. We got Africa there. And then, you know, United States. Good to do. It's South America. And it's totally fine that it's, like, messy and imperfect cause that, like, meat like matches the whole vibe. I think there's, like, Greenland up there. But yes, I'm very good at geography, friends. So, you know, that's pretty good. Now I'm worried about Greenland. Let's look. Okay. I can't see. Yeah, it's way up there. Okay. I'm not too far off, so I'll just kind of do that. But that's really all you need to do is just kind of like loosely lay in, you know, your different land formations and things like that. And you could keep going with it. You could add other details. Like if you want to add longitude lines and latitude lines, that could be a fun little addition. You know, if you used a clipping mask to do that, that would work really well. So you would just create a new layer and then choose clipping mask and then maybe a pencil brush or maybe even that nowhere else in, like, white. I don't know if it'll look too stark. Okay. Let's see how well I do with these. I don't know. It's feeling like visually very busy with these lines, so we'll see. I think it's because they're so bold and white. So maybe if I move the opacity down or something that could look good, I'll tap the little N, and, you know, that's an option. I'm not sure if I like it. So I'm just going to uncheck the box and turn it off. But, you know, you can keep going. And then, of course, if you want to add a paper texture over the top, that's also definitely a fun option we've been doing. So I'm going to go back to Unsplash. Another site I like for stock photography is Pexels, so I'll go there, pexels.com, PX ELS. And let's search for paper texture. A lot of crumpled papers, something a little more smooth. These sites all have different stuff. There's some paid ones too, which are better quality. But you can get some good quality options just in the free. I'm not finding any that I love. I might just go back to our loyal Unsplash here. Unsplash. Unsplash had a lot of options for paper. I bet if I just search paper, you could find things too. Okay. Which one do I want? This specly one's kind of nice. I'll download that one. And now it's going to be in my Fils app in my Downloads folder, so I can just go to the Actions menu, insert a file because it's in my Fils app, and there it is. And I'm going to make it cover the entire canvas like that. And I think I'll try putting this one at the top with, like, the multiply blend mode. Whoops. I became a clipping mouse. Undo that and tap a little N, and we'll try the multiply blend mode. That has a nice effect. So it's adding texture to the background, but it's also kind of also adding texture to the rest of it, as well. So it looks pretty good. And there is our finished globe illustration all made of analog shapes that we created on real paper, photographed and manipulated to create this really cool globe illustration. I think it's such a fun method, especially breaking an object down into these simple shapes, and, you know, what's the most simple shape that I could use to depict something like a globe or a camera or a book or whatever kind of thing that you want to draw. In the next video, I thought it would be fun to go through this process again using some of the different, you know, different textured circles and shapes that, you know, we made together. And I'm just going to go through it in real time without explaining things so you can kind of see how fast it goes and also how different the vibe of the illustration could look, depending on what, you know, medium that you use for your illustration. So if you want to watch that, I'll see you in the next video. 17. Extra Globe Demo (Real-Time Process): So in this video, I'm gonna go through the process of creating another Globe illustration using some different circles and shapes and things that we made during the analog part of this project. I'm gonna do it in real time without talking over it, so you can kind of see how fast the process goes. So let's get into it. H Yeah. Oh So here is my second globe illustration. It has totally different look and feel to it. I decided to use all the circles and shapes that were kind of more crayon looking. Actually, this was with the colored pencil. That was the main shape, and I used this one for the outline and I think the colored pencil. This colored pencil one for the base and then this crayon line. And I love the look. It looks so fun and kindergarteny. Like, I really love how it looks. And I ended up using linear burn to do the countries. I had multiply, which is okay. But then I did linear burn, and it looked more fun. I don't know. I just like the way it looked. So yeah, I'm really happy with how it turned out. I added a paper texture over the top. It was the same one I think that I used for the phone piece. You can get a whole different vibe of an illustration just by changing up the media that you use to do these simple shapes. Here are a few other globes that I've made using the same method. So this one has kind of a marker sort of feel. This one is a little bit more colored pencilly. I added the latitude and longitude lines. I also did all of the countries using, like, a pencil instead of a different brush, but it was one of the pencil brushes. This one, I think was with a crayon or something. It looks really glittery. I like how it looks. And then this one I did using like an inkwh, I believe, one of these here probably maybe that one. Oh, no, it's this one. So kind of an inky, you have the, has a darkened edge around it, which looks really cool. And these are a little bit more painterly washy. Yeah, so you can get a lot of different different looks and feels, and it really only took me, I don't know, ten or 15 minutes to, for the full illustration to come together. So feel free to use these, circle shapes for other things. Maybe they maybe it's like a lollipop. Maybe they are wheels on the bus. You know, you could have fun just seeing what you can do with the different shapes. It's almost like those things you had as a kid that were, I forget what they called tangrams, but you would like, arrange them to create different shapes. And, you know, it's just a lot of fun. And that's kind of the whole idea with this class and, you know, bringing the analog art into your digital workflow is just to play and have fun. In the next video, I've got even more examples of this shape illustration technique. I'll give you a peek into my process of creating all the artwork for the different lesson thumbnails. See you there? 18. Shape Illustration Examples & Tips: In this video, I'm going to show you the process of creating all of the graphics for this course. So these are all the illustrations you see here on this lesson thumbnail and all the other lesson thumbnails, I had a lot of fun using the shape illustration method to do these. So for all of these, I started out by drawing the shapes in sort of a silhouette using my different analog tools. So here I'm drawing an Apple pencil, the kind of flat part of the Apple pencil, and then lines to use for the Apple pencil tip. I use this to be it Woodies which are sort of like crayon texture to draw some crayon shapes. And I'm just drawing all the different parts. The main part of the crayon, the labels, little, like, squiggly line for the labels to, every single little piece I draw separately. Here I'm drawing some shapes that will become a colored pencil. I'm also drawing a paint tube and a paint brush. I drew the bristly part of the brush a few times just so I have options to work with. Now I'm drawing a marker, drawing the barrel, the tips, little design of the label. And the rectangle here that I'm drawing is gonna be a piece of paper. And I drew a couple more options for the paper shape. And then I decided I needed to draw an iPad. So I've drawn iPad so many times, but I've never done one using analog media. So I'm drawing the bezel, all the little procreate interface elements, you know, the brush sliders, the tools, all the little icons. I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy drawing the Procreate interface. I've done it many, many times over the years. So I digitized all these little shaped silhouettes by taking photos with my phone, and then I airdrop them to my iPad. And then I went through the process that you have just gone through and started assembling all the little pieces together. Here's my Apple pencil. Now, few of the objects that I'm drawing are white. And since the process that we go through drawing the shapes in black can be a little tricky. So, the best way I've found to do something in white is to simply invert the shape. You can try adjusting it with curves, but it really works much better if you just tap on the layer and choose invert from the menu. And then you can kind of tweak the colors, but it looks a little bit more realistic. So if you're ever illustrating something white, invert it first, and then adjust the value and saturation and everything after that. One of my favorite things about doing this sort of analog digital hybrid is how you can make multiple colors of the same object. So, for example, this crayon, I went and made a blue one, and then I simply duplicated it, adjusted all the colors, kind of moved the labels around just a little bit to make it look kind of different. And now I have a whole new crayon, and it didn't take me very long at all. I didn't have to redraw anything. And you can do that for just about anything. Like, feel free to duplicate your artwork, start adjusting colors, and you'll have multiple versions of the same illustration. Here I am building the iPad and the Procreate interface. For most of these little mini illustrations, I did very little illustrated details using any procreate brushes. This piece had a lot of moving parts, so to speak, so it probably took me a little bit longer than all the others. I love being able to use select and transform to kind of make adjustments to things. Feel free to keep adjusting as you go to make sure you get it just right. I ended up using one of the shapes I drew to be paper as the background of the Procreate interface, and that worked out pretty well. And another one of those paper shapes to be the canvas. I added this grid pattern using a brush from my imperfect patterns brush set in order to create that kind of gridded background you see behind your Procreate canvas. And now I can place whatever artwork I want on the iPad. Here I am adjusting to create some pieces of paper, and I'm really pleased with how these came out. I didn't quite know what to expect when I made them, but they look so good. I just love the texture of them. I added some really subtle shadows just by kind of duplicating the same shape and making it black, kind of reducing the opacity a little bit. And then I decided I needed a camera and a scanner. So I started drawing those out. And the scanner, I really didn't know exactly what it was gonna look like in the end. I just kind of drew a lid in what I thought was like a flat bed. These little dry strokes are gonna be like shiny marks on the scanner. But I don't always know exactly how it's gonna turn out. I just kind of guess. This rectangle is gonna be an iPhone, and then I'm looking over at my iPhone so I can draw all the little details for the camera interface. I love this technique because you don't have to be exact. And I can't tell you how many times I'm like, Oh, I need this thing. And I just draw it real quick, take a photo, airdrop it to my iPad, and then make something with it. I'll be honest, I was feeling kind of stressed out the day that I made these. I'd been working on this class and editing videos, and there's a lot of work and a lot of hours that go into making a class. So I just decided I needed a little art making time. And even though I knew it wasn't necessary to make all of these for all my little thumbnails, it was beyond worth it for my sanity. I spent a couple hours doing this, and it totally lifted my spirits. Making art always tends to do that for me. So here I am figuring out how to make these two shapes look like a scanner. Played around a lot with the different blood modes to kind of get something that was, like, blue with a little bit of light kind of shiny marks on it. I ended up using distort and transform mode to kind of change the angle of the lid of the scanner, and that worked pretty well. And then used the nowhere else brush to add a little bit of shading to make these look a little bit more three dimensional. And then liquefy again, just to kind of joge things up. And I also like erase little marks and details on the edges that don't quite need to be there. Yeah, I'm not quite pleased with that one. Here's my little iPhone camera coming together. I used a shape that I'd drawn for a tube of paint to add this little kind of black block to the iPhone interface. Once you've done a lot of these analog shapes, you'll have a whole library of different kind of shapes you can use for whatever illustration you want. Lots of little icons for this phone. I could have probably drawn these, you know, in Procreate, but I was having fun making everything on paper. I think it looks I think it has a different quality. It looks cooler. And then I decided I didn't have enough art supplies and had to draw some more, and I really wanted to draw a bottle of ink. So, I got to work. This time, I used ink and a brush to draw the bottle of ink because I thought that would be appropriate. So again, I'm just sticking with silhouettes here, drawing the outline, kind of the yeah, like the silhouette shape of the bottle and, you know, some ovals to try and use for labels. Got the little lid with the kind of squeeze little rubber thing and the dropper. These little lines are texture for the lid. And then I love this big sharpie, so I used it to draw it. Here I am drawing this giant sharpie using the Sharpie. And all these pieces are gonna be layered together. Of course, I had to draw the lid, too. And the logo, doing my best. Of course, taking pictures, trying to get close up, so I get nice high resolution photos of everything. Here, drop them to my iPad and start assembling. I started drawing this blob of ink coming out in Procreate, but then I decided, no, I took I just grabbed a piece of paper and quickly painted a little ink splot, photographed it, and sent it over to my iPad. Then I use procreate brushes to draw all the little details like the label, making it nice and fun and decorative. This is the nowhere else brush again. And then for the gray silver Sharpie, I didn't invert it this time. I just use the curves to kind of lighten the darkest parts of it. I think it looks really good. So here are all of my fun analog digital art supplies. I do all my design work and in design on my Mac. So once I got these onto my computer, I popped them into Photoshop to make even more versions of the different colors. So I have lots of different colors of colored pencils, markers, crayons, and whatever else I needed. I love them so much. They have so much personality, so much texture. Honestly, I couldn't have created something like this with Procreate alone. And that's why I love doing this process. You never know exactly what you're gonna get, but you're always a little surprised and delighted by the results. I hope you enjoyed getting a peek into my process. In our next video, we're gonna wrap things up for this class. I'll see you there. 19. Conclusion: So proud of you for making it to the end of the class. You should have three beautiful illustrations to show for it and lots of new techniques and things to try as you continue on in your art making journey. More than anything, I want you to take this as an imitation to explore. Try things, make a mess, use materials you already have, and see what happens when you combine things you wouldn't normally do. Not everything you do needs to turn into a finished piece. Sometimes the most fun comes from just experimenting and playing around. The more you do that, the more you'll develop your own style, your own textures, and your own way of making art. Whether it's your finished illustrations or just your texture explorations, it's all part of the process. Keep playing, and of course, keep making messes. Until next time, happy art baking.
