I'm Lisa Wurdam, professional artist and illustrator, wooded collaborated with B Eilish AdobPrime Videos Lord of D strings of Power Series, Develop T, Stadl, Logitek, Wacom, and many more. And in this lesson, I'm going to show you how to color a stylish facion illustration in Procrade. If you love drawing clothes designs, but struggle with choosing colors, adding fabric texture, or making your illustration look polished. This lesson will guide you step by step. We will start by setting the base colors, the add shadows, highlights and substance textures to make the fabric look realistic. Whether you are it is silk, cotton, leather or chiffon. I will walk you through exact brushes, layers and blending techniques I use to give the dress deep movement and professional finish. By the end of this lesson, you will understand how to create clean folds, natural lighting, and the brand color combinations that elevate your facial artwork. So open your amas, pick your palette, and let's bring this dress to life together. 2. Painting Base Colors: Hello. Welcome to my new class. In this class, we will paint elegant dress and facial figure. And I sketched it like this, and I will show you how to color it. At first, open new layer under the sketch layers and use some gray color because we need to pop up the illustration so we can do it at the white color. Then open another new layer over it and select white di white. Maybe a yellowish. Color like this because we need to start from the mid tones or darker tones. Then we will add shadows and light parts. I'm blocking the colors here like this and painting the whole area with it. And with eraser, we will clean the corners of illustration for sure. And Okay. For the second p, again, use base colors of it because we will add and increase the hill later. Okay, let's do like this. And for here, I will use dark brown like this and like this and delete the corners of it. Okay. 3. Adding Shadows: And after it, all we need to do is describing the shadows, open another new layer and select the dress color and make it much more darker and apply over dress to make it much more darker like this. Define how the dress flows, and it will make us much more easier to define the details and putting the details over it. 4. Adding Lights: Okay. And zoom into face and put some details over portrait and some maybe extra warm colors on these parts to give it a tree D look. You don't need to overdo it because we are just focusing to dress. These details is just small details that makes the illustration much more realistic and uh Yeah. And after it zoom into dress and select much more wider color and apply over it. And if you don't want to use directly white, you can bit muted white with yellow color. It will also help you to increase the fabric look and let's continue from this side. All you need to do is following the lines like how to dress flows, how to dress flows, and how it reacts, how it reacts to the light and other details. For example, this part is much more lighter, especially at this area. And this area. And this area. At some parts, we need to flow and open another new layer, and I will show you one trick. Paint it like this and select eraser and dilate with eraser, some parts because eraser creates really good balance of the tail with existed brush strokes like this and continue adding light parts. Okay. And this flow can be much more bigger and especially this area will be lighter. And this left area is lighter. Okay, we are going good right now. You need to use airbrush like something smooth like this because it creates really good amount of the tail. And after you define these all light parts, you can add some dark parts of the dress. For example, I will select a much more dark color. Like this and like this. And after it, you can collect all layers together. But I will save another copy of it because 1 second. Let's do it like this and open another copy of it and make heart mix and low opacity. Like maybe ten. If you ask me why I did this, it creates extra values in painting and connect layers and go to the hue and give a bit hue. And after it, you will see we have some extra colors created by this hard mix. Use these colors also and render. Because these details give us extra colors because extra colors makes the illustration pop up much more and make it much more effective. So it is really important for paintings. For example, it added really dark colors here, and let's continue to render. Okay. Select a much more wider color. I will select much more linear brush right now to define some lines much more stronger with directly white. But don't overuse it because if you use one color as lightning, so much it will meet the lose the effect it has 5. Adding Micro Details: Okay. Now, let's continue by adding some details like dark areas. Okay, let's make it much more visible. Also, at this part, it can be much more lighter. And at this part, you need to define which parts as much more values like Okay, now we will do it again, duplicate it, inert it, and select hard mix and lower opacity at the ten maybe. And it creates really good amount of detail as you can see, and I will delete this phase part. You can you can make it visible at certain points. So let's delete it here. Okay, and go to the adjustments and at hue, increase the hue. And let's zoom in. And at this part, all you need to do is select bland brush and blend the tones like with not losing any detail. Like this. And after it, open another new layer with a smooth brush and zoom in and render maybe with a very smooth line or some line brush because this hard mix trick is creating really good amount of details, and it really makes the illustrations pop up in the facial illustrations. And I will make it like this, it creates really, really good amount of detail. And all we need to do is creating this flow. The flow of the dress. And maybe this part is visible. Maybe she has less and, it's better right now. And for anise, I can use extra colors like pop up the woman. And at this part yeah, it's looking much more better right now. And some parts we need to make shadows much more darker and visible. Especially at these corners and dark parts. It's visible, really, really visible. 6. Complete Illustration: Yeah. And like this. And at this part, of course, we will continue to adding details. And some parts, you can use some spray brush to create brains texture. For example, I will select color Dutch right now and we'll apply over this dress to create some shiny and textured look on the fabric. It depends on your fabric or how you prefer your fabric, like shiny or with much more shiny or flat like this. It is better right now. And this part also like this and yeah. I will make this parts much more detailed. And these parts also. And for hair, you can use simply hair brushes to give your figure like extra lighting. It is not so important because our dress is the focus point. So I make it much more. Just small details to pop up the hair. Like this. Yeah. And maybe we can also paint this detail here and dilate the corners. Yeah. It looks really good right now, and I will add just small lights at eye, and we'll add some short, small details in the portrait, and I will finish this illustration.
