Create Digital Planner Sticker Using Procreate - Free Planner, Covers & Brushes

1. Introduction : Hi everyone. Today we'll be learning how to create all of these digital stickers using Procreate. I'd be showing you all the tips and tricks that I've learned on my journey. I really hope you enjoyed this course and thank you for watching. Please have a look at my other courses advantage to planning to. 2. How To Create A Colour Palette: So the first thing that I want to do is I want to think about a color palette for my stickers. And the easiest way to do this is you want to go into something like Pinterest or for example, google, or if you've got a color palette already in mind, I don't want I'm going to do is just search for a neutral color palette. I'm just going to pick this one here. I'm just going to add it to my photos. And then what I want to do is I'm going to go into Procreate. Click the Add button. And I'm going to just click on my A4 size paper. Just turn it landscape. One excellent to do is I want to go into my color pressure pair. What you want to do is in Procreate. You've got a section at the bottom called palettes here. What you want to do is you want to click on it. And then you can click this Add button up here. And you can actually add the color palette that we found on Pinterest and procreate will automatically create a palette for us using those colors. I'm going to just click, Add and click New from photos and add that photo in of that color palette. So here we've got the color palette and it's just got some nudes and pinks and some great colors. I'm happy with this. 3. How To Create Notebook Stickers: The first thing I want to do is I'm just going to switch on my drawing guide. Like so. I'm going to go into my brushes, all of the brushes that I'm using today, you can learn how to create in my Procreate Planet stamps course. I link that course down below in the description box. Or if you would like access to some of these free shape brushes. And this now aligned paper brush. You can sign up to my newsletter that you can have access to those. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go into my brush library and I'm going to select this square filled brush here. Then I'm going to go into my color palette and choose a light pink. Increase the brush size a little. Actually decrease, decrease the brush size. Tiny. One I'm going to do is just click here. Just going to zoom in and just align this. Here we've got one of our sticker shapes. Next thing I want to do is I wanted to go into my layer and click Alpha Lock. And when you do this, what it does is anything that you apply to this layer, only applied to the shape that's in the layer. It won't go outside of the lines. I'm going to do is I'm going to go into my brushes. Just scroll down and go into my narrow lined paper brush. I'm going to make sure that I've changed the color to white of my brush. Make sure the Alpha Lock is on. Then I'm just going to zoom in. I'm just going to draw some lines like so. These brushes are really quick and easy to show how to do that in my Procreate stamp scores. But these are really useful when you're creating digital planners stickers. As you can see, I'm just going to zoom out tiny bit. My drawing guide back on. Shift this to the top. Next one to do is I went to add a shadow to this shape. What I'm going to do is I'm going to duplicate this layer. Then I'm going to go into the layer at the bottom, switch off alpha lock. Then I'm going to make sure that my brush is set to black. Click on the bottom layer, click Select, and click Fill Layer. And what it does is it creates a square of the same size as the one above, but it just fills it with black. I'm going to select the second shadow layer. And then I went to go right at the top here into my blowing tools. And I went to click on Gaussian Blur. Make sure its own layer I'm going to do is just move it. And as you can see it, the more I'm moving to the right, the more of a blurred effect it gives me. So I'm just going to do this until I'm happy with the shape. I'm happy. Then what I want to do is just go into the shadow layer and turn down the opacity a tiny bit. Another pretty cool thing that you can do is you can go into this layer. This is our notebook layer. And you can click on the Move Tool. If you go down here to what you can do is you can just lift this a little fleck so it gives it a bit more of a realistic notebook effect. I really like that. Look. I'm just going to move it a little bit like this. There is our first little notebooks to get done. What we're going to do is we're just going to create a few more of these, but in a few different colors. That's why I wanted to do is I want to group this. Then I'm going to just duplicate it. Then I'm just going to switch on my drawing guide. And I'm going to go into my duplicated group, click on the moving tool, go into uniform down here. And you went to make sure that snapping is on clicks, nothing up here. When you do that, what it does is it makes sure that your layers are aligned properly. So as you can see here, this is aligned perfectly. I'm just going to put this down here. Then I'm going to go into this new group that go and go into that notebook layer appear, switch off alpha lock. Then I went to go into my color palette and just choose another color. From here. I'm going to choose this sort of pink color here. And I'm just going to drag that in and change the color of my notebook. Then again, I'm just going to duplicate this. I'm going to move it down. Like so. Perfectly aligned. Going to open this group, go into my notebook layer, choose another color and just change the color. Again, collapse this duplicate. Move it down. Open-air, go into my notebook layer, and go back into my colors. Choose this color down here. So you can see we've got our notebook stickers in our various shades and tones. What you want to do now is because we've got quite a lot of layers down here. And all I'm going to do is just click flatten. When you do that it is create one layer, flatter and flatter and flatter. 4. How To Create Grid Stickers: I'm going to switch on my drawing guide again. What we're now going to create grid paper stickers. Again using the same exact method. I'm going to go into my brushes, go into my square filled brush down here. Go to select this color. I'm going to do is just draw another square. Then I'm just going to make sure it's exactly the same size. Move it to the side. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go into my layers. And I want to add another layer. And I'm going to go into my brush, make sure I'm on the square field brush. Change my brush to white. Then I'm just going to create another square. I'm just going to make this a bit smaller than the one we've gotten now and position it to the middle right about here. Like this. Then what I wanted to do is I want to make sure I'm in my white square layer and then click on Alpha Lock. Then I went to change my color to this sort of. Then I'm going to change the color to the sort of a mink color down here. I want to go into my brushes and click on my thin grid paper. Then when I zoom in, you can see we've got our second sticker off the grid and the pink background. Again, we want to add a shadow to this. What you want to do is you want to go into your bottom layer and duplicate this. Make sure that you selected the bottom layer. Make sure that your brush is set to black. Then you want to click, Select, click Fill Layer. Then again, I'm just going to go into Gaussian Blur. And you can just move slightly. Once you're happy, go into the shadow layer. And I'm just going to decrease the opacity a bit like this. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going to group all of these together using the same process as before. Just duplicate and move it down. That is aligned. Then just open the Layers, click on the color layer. Make sure I've got this color here selected and change the color. Duplicate. Move this underneath the layer, click on the color layer, change that color to the pink. Like so. Again, duplicate the layer down. Click on the color layer, make sure I've got this color here selected. So now we've got our grid stickers. I wanted to do is I think I'm going to lift these stickers off as well. I'm going to go back into my stickers, going into the solid color, click on the Move Tool and go into warp. Just slightly. Lift up a little bit onto just go into the next layer, click on Solid Color again, and just do the same thing. Now that we've got all of our layers we want to do again is just flatten these down so that they become one layer. 5. How To Create To Do List Stickers: So the next thing we're going to create some rectangles, tick boxes. What I wanted to do is I want to go into a new layer, go back into my brushes, and I'm going to select my rectangle Stanford brush. Then I'm just going to make sure I've got this color here, selected. Switch on my drawing guide. I'm going to do is I just want to click here. Just move my stamp to make it. I'm going to click on free form. Just make it a bit more narrow. Like this. Here we've got a little rectangle shape. We're going to do is I'm going to add a new layer. Then I want to go back into my brush and select this circle filled stamp down here and make sure that my brush is set to white. Then I'm going to just reduce the size of my brush. I'm just going to draw a circle in here. I'm going to do is just make it a bit bigger. I'll put it to the top. Like this. I think I'm just going to go into my rectangle layer, just make it a tiny bit more narrow enough. Go into my circle layer and just move it into the middle. Again, you can see that snapping tool. As soon as it goes into the middle, it just snaps into place like this. What you want to do is just duplicate this layer. Just put one underneath. Again. I'm just going to just group these and then just duplicate, just move them underneath again like this. Then I'm just going to duplicate one of these and move it to the middle. Just going to click on one of these. Just make this slightly uniform, make this slightly bigger. Like this. Is our first ticker, is we're just going to flatten these layers again. Group. What you wanted to do is you just want to keep this layer as it is. So with your circle layers and draw rectangle layer, what I'm going to do is within this layer, I'm going to just duplicate this rectangle layer. Make sure that my color is set to black. And we're just going to create a shadow again. So click Select, click Fill layer, back into Gaussian Blur, layer, blur, like so. Then I went to go into the shadow layer and I'm just going to turn this down a bit like so. Here is our new sticker. Again, I'm just going to follow the same process, just going to duplicate and move them down. I'm going to go into the group. I click Duplicate, go into my move tool, move it down. Like this. Open the group, click on my rectangle color. Select this color. Change. You can do the same thing. Duplicate. Down. Open the layer, go into my rectangle color, select this color here, change. Again, duplicate. Go into my color. Select this color here. It tries to color. Those are our rectangle tick stickers. I want to do is I just wanted to go into the groups again and just flatten these down now. 6. How To Create Shape Stickers: Next stickers, we're going to create some simple circle shapes. I just wanted to go into my new layer. Make sure the drawing guide is on. Just make sure I've selected this color here. Go into my brushes and click on my circle filled stamp, increase the size and just draw my circle. Then I just want to duplicate this layer at the bottom and create a shadow again. Make sure my brush is set to black. Click, Select, click fill layer, go into the Gaussian blur to this, and then go into layer and just turn down the opacity slightly. Then all we're going to do is just group this. Then just duplicate, open the layer and change the color of the circle. I'm just going to repeat this process. What we want to do is just flatten layers. Now, we've got our simple circle shapes. The next shape I'm going to create is a sort of arrow shape. When I went to do is add a new layer, go back into my drawing guide and switch it on. I'm going to go into my brushes and click on my square feet wet brush. I want to make sure I've selected this color up here. Then I'm just going to create a little square. Make this a bit smaller. Next, I want to do is I want to go into my eraser tool. And I'm just going to go to the middle. Just draw out sort of arrow shape, the poster. Just drop. This is our, our shape. We're just gonna do the same thing again and add a shadow. So just duplicate the bottom and we'll make sure our brushes tend to black, click, Select, click Fill Layer. Then I wanted to go into Gaussian Blur. Just increase the shadow. Next cell. Just reduce the opacity of the layer Lopez. Like this. Then I'm just going to group these together and just duplicate street and just add in the group. Go into my Color, Burn, go into this color, change the color. And again, I'm just going to repeat that process with the rest. Now that we've got all of our arrow shapes, just going to flatten like we've done previously. Like this. 7. How To Create Washi Tape: The neck shapes, I'm going to create our image gray sort of washi tapes. So I'm going to click on my new layer. And I'll make sure I've got this color selected here on my drawing guide. I'm going to go into my brushes and I'm going to go into my rectangle, filled his stamp and just draw a rectangle, twist it into position. I'm going to make it a bit longer. It like this. I want you to do is I want to go into my eraser. And I'm just going to add a designed sort of a wavy squiggly line. I want to do the same to the other side. Like this. Then what I want to do is I want to go into my layer and click Alpha Lock. Then I went to go to my brushes and I'm going to search for my flower stamp brush here. I'm going to change the color to white. I'm going to do is just put some flowers. Again. I teach you how to create these flower stamps in my Procreate stamps course. If you check out the video in the description box below, the BIBD, know how to create these stamps as well. You just want to arrange them. That looks nice. That looks good. Then again, all we're gonna do is just duplicate this and add a shadow. Make sure alpha lock is switched off. Make sure your brush is ten to black. Click select, and then click Fill Layer. Go into Gaussian Blur layer. Just add a little blur, going to the shadow layer and just switch and put that capacity down a tiny bit. There is our first washi tape. Then I'm going to group these. And again, just do the same thing as we did previously. So just duplicate. Move it underneath. Again, you can see how important the snapping tool is. Perfectly aligned. Lines. Then I want you to open this, go into my layer, select this color. Then again, just follow the same process. Just flatten the layers down. I'm going to create another washi tape designer. Again. What I want to do is add a new layer. Click this color, go back into my rectangle photo stamp. Just draw a rectangle. Going into the drawing guide. Take this, increase the size a little bit, and just put a straight underneath this. Then I'm going to go into my layer and click Alpha Lock. Then go into my brush, go into my checked paper brush. What I want to do is I want to make sure that I've got this color. And I'm just going to choose a slightly darker color to match line. Then when making sure my checked paper brushes on that, we've got alpha lock on. I'm just going to draw the layer. As you can see, like this. Then again, I'm just going to add a shadow such as duplicate. Go into the bottom layer, make sure my brush is selected to black. Click select and then click Fill Layer. Go into my Gaussian blur. Just add my slightly. Just tap the opacity down. Again, just group these and do the same thing. We would duplicate, move it down, which changed the color. Expand this, go to the color layer. And then again, just flatten this down so that they become one layer. I'm going to do is I'm going to select all my layers. Then I'm just going to make them a bit bigger. Like this. 8. How To Export Stickers: So they've got all of our stickers. Now I'm going to show you how to export them. What you want to do is you want to make sure that each sticker has its own layer. Then you went to go into your friend tool and click Share. Go at the bottom and click Share layers as PNG files. Save images. Then I'm going to come into my photos. As you can see, is just created all of our stickers. As PNG files. What you can do is in procreate instead of creating them all on one page. But you can do, is you can create them on a square page. If you click on the square and create each individual sticker on this square page and then export it. It will just show as one big sticker instead of it being in the position where he is. Like like this, where we've got some down here. Sometime there will just be one whole image on the page. 9. How To Import Stickers Into GoodNotes: So all I'm gonna do is export this into GoodNotes. I'm going to do is for example, this photo, I'm going to press Copy, copy photo. I can go into GoodNotes. Click Paste. Then here is my sticker and I'm just going to crop it. Click on crop. Like so. Then we can just move it into place wherever we want. Use it in our journals. 10. Conclusion: Thank you for attending this course. I really hope you found it useful.
