Creating a Paper-cut Effect Light Box in Procreate

1. About this Class: In this class, we're going to have some fun with procreate. We're going to use procreate to create a paper cup. Lightbox may have seen them in real life. You may have seen him in Procreate to play with them a little bit. We're going to try to create a paper called Lightbox. Was actually light effects in a two. As close as we can get to the real. For that, I've got a nice scene in mind, which I wanna do. Nice winter scene with a snowman, Bonnie, some trees, some mountains. And I want to create a nice seat. With that. We're gonna do some drawing. We're going to use some tricks. We're going to use some features to add light effects and do some paper cut effects with it. We're gonna do some tracing showing you how to bring in your own images and turned into a figure, a paper cut thing. Yeah, I definitely gone to bring all of these elements together. We can create the beautiful paper cut. I want to show you just simply step-by-step how I would approach that, how I will do this, accomplish this in. So I will see you in the next lesson where the fun starts. 2. Getting everything ready: Let's start with setting up our Canvas, bringing in the pictures, doing our color palette. And then we're ready to start creating this lightbox paper cutout scene. Alright, let's go. Since this is gonna be a fairly simple scene with many colors, and I know I'm not going to print this. I'm just going to use for a canvas to screen size with my iPad. And that is 22732 pixels by 248 pixels. So I'm going to just pick that. And I'm going to work in this canvas, nice and easy so that I don't have to set up the Canvas. Now for colors, what I'm going to use this, I'm going to basically going to use two colors and probably some yellow for the two colors. I've already prepared the two colors. It's a dark brown. It's a light brown. And the best thing what I can do is now probably give you the values of these soda dark brown would be, I'm gonna go to value here. What you're gonna do here is type in these values. That is six, the red, green, and blue. The red, the R is 6032, green is 39, and the blue is nine. Then these values here, I'm not sure if this totally matter, but these are the age as feed you and the saturation values and the balance set on 33%, 85% now fit a few degrees less than 85% and 25 per cent one want to do. I'm going to create a screenshot of this and show that on the screen while I'm filming. The next color is, second color is a lighter brown. And for the value, the rate is 114, the green is 75, and the blue is 22. And the values here, U is 35 degrees. Then we have 81% and 45 per cent i'm, I'm going to do is create a screenshot of this too. While I'm talking you through this, you will see that in the screen and the other girl color we're going to use for our background is this yellow, orange tone with a read of 245, a green of 204, and a blue of 103. And the h value is 42 degrees. We have 58% and 96%. And I need to make a screenshot of that one too, right? That's better screenshot. And we're going to use a yellow light. Now we can do this too. We use this yellow light later on too, which is the red is two for free, greenish two to zero, and the blue is 112, and the age is 49 degrees, then we have 54% and 95 per cent. Now, I'll make a screenshot of that too. You can prepare this, these colors very easily. So what you're gonna do, tap on your color. Normally it will be on the disk. You go to fail you and you just put those values. You can type them in and just type the values and then you're ready to go. The other thing we're going to need is two images and let me go to my camera roll. That's the image of this fox is supplied with the class and the image of this bunny, at least the silhouette of this bunny. Those are the two images we're going to use later on. We've got our canvas, now, we've got our colors. The brush. What we're going to use is we're going to use the brushes here, airbrushing. And we're mainly going to use, most likely these two here, medium heart and the heart airbrush. And use those too. Draw and paint and do all of our values. And that's it. We don't need anything more than that. So if you set this up, get the canvas ready, download those images, set those costs, and then we're ready to go and start working on our light box. 3. The Snowman, Bunny & Tree: Time to create our paper cut lightbox. We've set up our canvas. We know with brushes we're going to use. So now it's time to start drawing. We're going to draw most of it herself, except for those two elements I showed you before. When you use some special effects in Procreate. Really, this whole Lightbox effect. Simple tricks, some simple drawing. All let's get into that. Alright, well, we're going to use the heart airbrush. Lets pick that one here. So it's in Procreate. If you have a lot of brushes like I do, you may have to scroll all the way down until you see airbrushing. Then pick the heart airbrush. We're going to start with that dark value. We're going to create some layers in our light box. As a light box would have certain layers and we're going to stack them on top of each other, do some effects to create a really light bulb, Lightbox effect. The first color I'm going to use this really dark color. And now this brush is set on something's really huge. I don't want that. Let's see, eight per cent old and has a nice around there, a little bit larger. Let's go for ten per cent. I want to put my brush on ten per cent. The first layer I'm going to create is simply the first front layer we're looking at. And that is very simple. One we're gonna do. We're gonna start somewhere and create a little bit of a frame. And just keep on painting. Make sure you don't stop painting and hold the pencil. Then it's going to automatically create a line. And there I need to connect it. That's all we're gonna do for this. The connection I need to check. Yeah, that's nice. If you connect the two lines here. So you're drawing. So you have this line already, then you come from this side. If you get something like this, you may want to erase this part inside. It's not a problem, but are outside releases then the outside inside the frame. This is where we're going to see you want to have this nice smooth line, removing this again. The next thing we're gonna do is we're going to fill this with color there. What I'm going to do next is I'm going to just drag over this color here and fill it. Now. Mine is looking good, nice, no white lines left, but perhaps yours is having some white lines. Let me demonstrate that. If I'm dragging it over, you can see here a line, the thresholds drop threshold. I'm going to put that all way down to about yeah, that's good with like this. I don't wanna do it again. Now, if you look very closely, there you go, You see all these white lines. We don't want that. So that is why we're going to put the threshold higher. Now, doing it again, dropping the color, holding my pencil, sliding it over. And now it's not far enough. Let's see. That's pretty good already, okay, So make sure there's no white lines left. So slide the line until it's filling it nicely. Alright, That's our first simple border. We're going to add a new layer. Now this layer needs to be on top. It's the front layer. The next layer, what we're going to add is a little bit of foreground layer, very simple layer with some grass. I'm going to hide this layer. I'm going to go to the next layer, the new layer. And I'm going to create a little bit of foreground. And it doesn't really matter where it is. And just, just do some scribbles like this. There you go. That's good enough. And we're going to fill this to make sure you only feel the bottom line. Now if we can show them to see, we've got something quite different. Now, the next layer, which we're gonna do, we're going to add a background layer. I'm going to make sure this is on the bottom. You could rename this layer. So I could say this is the background rename. This will be our backgrounds. And for that background, I'm going to just fill with that mid orange, that dark yellow, not that really light yellow, but the dark yellow. I don't want to just fill this layer with debt. Now, there's another way to fill a layer. Instead of sliding this over, you can tap the layer and just simply say fill layer and it's going to fill the whole layer. We're going to make use of this later on too. Alright, so I've got this setup. Now. There's no difference between the border and this little foreground part. But we're going to do that later on. We're going to leave it like this. Now, the next thing we're going to need a new layer and that should go behind this foreground layer, add a new layer in there. Here we're going to draw our first part, which will be the snowman. And we're going to put the bunny on that. We might do our first three and the two. Yes, why not put them all on the same layer? I want to start with the Snowman. What we're gonna do is we're going to create actually a very simple snowman. And what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna draw a circle. And that's not going to work of course, because I'm using the same color, I'm gonna go to that lighter brown color. Now probably I have a line, so I need to clear that line. Okay, We're gonna do that again. We're going to draw a circle, doesn't matter where you're going to draw the circle. Just a circle. Trying to get as close to circular she can. When you reach the end, hold it. Don't do anything with it. Now you see that edit shape. Now mine is pretty much like a circle already. And you have the choice. It's still sees this as an ellipse. So what we're gonna do want to say circle. Now, if your circle is really off, you can move these around until you have a nice perfect circle. And the easiest thing is to do to line up these two and these two in a straight line. This is pretty much my circle. This is good enough, good. I'm going to tap somewhere. That's the first part of my snowman. And what we're gonna do is I'm going to fill the snowman with that brown color. The next thing what I'm gonna do is I'm going to duplicate this layer. I'm going to select it, I'm going to move it. The second part of the snowman. Make sure this is on uniform. I'm going to make that smaller. And there you go. I'm thinking I might do a three-part snowman. Than the next thing which I'm going to do, I'm going to duplicate this again. And I'm going to move that, that will be its head. And of course slightly less again, and that would be my snowman. What I'm going to do with this one, I might just move it a little bit. And with the heads, I might move it a little bit too. That's nice. I got mine by the way, on snapping. So it snaps nicely on. When you select it. You can do the Snipping on, you can do the snipping off, magnetics are on. So it's going to center that automatically. For me, without the magnetics, I can move it anywhere I like. That is just an easy handy tool to have. That's the first part of our snowman. Let's create the head of the snowman tool. We're going to add a new layer. Later on. We're going to just merge all these layers. But for working on it, It's way easier to use one layer so that we can move wherever we want it. Alright, the head, I'm going to draw for the head. I want the hat under an angle, and I'm going to draw an ellipse for that. Just an ellipse. I'm going to hold the bottom, the pen, and then it creates this nice ellipse. I'm fine with the shape. I'm good. I'm going to fill this. I'm going to move this on top of the snowman and yes, this is way too large. So I'm gonna just make it slightly smaller. There you go. Looks good. Now that's not all I need. On top of it. I need some more. And for that, I'm going to create the head itself. What we're gonna do is I'm going to create the first part. Hold it like that. And then here are the same distance. Second part, hold it. I'm okay with that. Then. Top of its Top Hat, I'm going to hold it. Then it creates a nice smooth line. I'm going to fill this, and there you go, we have a snowman. Now, I might move this a little bit more perhaps. I think I like that better. Yeah, good. The next thing is I'm going to need a nose. So I'm just going to let the snowman look up a little bit. And I'm going to create a simple nodes like that. I'm going to hold it. There you go. Now, if I fill this, this is going wrong because actually this is not filled. If I hide the head, you can see there's only a node. So what I need to do is I need to close the nose. I'm closing knows I can do this. And now if I bring back the head, there you go. There we have our snowman. Now, if you're happy with your snowman, we're going to merge all these layers down. Merge them down. That's our snowman. Alright, good. The next thing I'm gonna do if the snowman actually, I need some shadow behind it and I want a light side so that you get the idea of a paper cut site. What I'm gonna do is with the snowman, I'm going to duplicate it. And I'm going to take the bottom layer. I'm gonna hide this top layer. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna say alpha lock. Next thing is we're going to need some kind of shadow color for that. I have a color and that is not in the palette. So I'm going to show you that pellet that is this color. I'm gonna make a screenshot of it. So now it will appear on your screen. The red is 56, the green is 57, and do blue is 75. And then I have the yuan 280 degrees, then we have 51% and the balance is 30%. Alright, goods and that color. I'm going to fill this snowman and create a shadow. Now, I put it on alpha lock. If I fill it now, it should only fill my snowman. There you go. But this is a very harsh line. I want a bit of a shadow effect, so I need to switch off the Alpha Lock tap, simply tap it. Then I'm going to the Magic Wand. I'm going to say Gaussian Blur. And if I move this now, this thing is going to blur. So I'm going to create that shadow effect. 675 per cent might even be good. This is too much. Definitely go for six or 5%. Let's go for the five per cent. I like that. Good. Right now it's shadow layer. If I bring back my regulars, the snowman now and move this layer a little bit outside of it. There you go. I see, you already get the idea. I cut this with paper. Now to enhance this effect even more, we're going to duplicate this shadow line and we're going to need the top one. The bottom one is now a shadow, shadow. The middle one of the fish normal will be our light one. What we're gonna do here, we're going to choose the white color for that. Make screenshot again, show that that you can see it. The red is here to 41, The green is 245. Blue is 248. And I've got here about 207 degrees now, another bout of Secondly to another seven degrees, 3% and 97 per cent. I'm going to use that for my white color. I need to put this on Alpha Lock again. So tap on the layer, select Alpha Lock. Now I can drag over the white and as you can see there you go nice and wide. And I can move this over. And we're going to add a little bit of a white idea that this is too much, but we'll work on that. Let's switch on the Alpha Lock first. Let's see. I want to move it down a little bit. There you go. I wanted to be gone mostly on this side. Now on the bottom there will be some and keep it like dense C. And now you get the cutout idea by adding that little line here, it actually strengthens that. Now we could, we could make this slightly smaller if you wanted to. If we make that snowman slightly smaller than move it slightly less strong and you get the better cut idea. Good, will keep it like that. That's basically what we're gonna do with all of the elements in the scene. We will create a shadow behind it. We're going to create that paper cut side effects. And then later on we're going to add our impression of light on it. But that's for the last part. Alright, well, let's keep on going. The next part is we're going to use, use. We're going to do that, Bonnie. Alright, this is what I can do with these. I could merge these, or probably we have lazy enough. I'm going to group this into a new group. And I'm going to call this the snowman. And there you go. And if I want to alter this later on, move this later on, make it perhaps blue with smaller, I can do that very easily. The next thing is, I'm going to bring in Dead Bonnie. And I'm going to say add photo. I'm going to in my photo roll select the bonnie. There's the bony way to use which with a white border around it for now. We're seeing, okay. But I want this, I don't want the white border. We need to remove that and that's very simple. Select the ribbon, select here automatic and choose the white is now black. Everything, don't worry, it has selected all that white. What you're going to see next you hit the wrench, you're going to say cut. And we're left with a bony only. And that is what we want. Really nice and easy. Now the bunny is way too large and the body has the wrong color. So we're going to change the color first. Tap on that. Oh sorry, no, that light brown color. Slide it over to the bunny. There you go. That is good enough. And we're gonna make them Bonnie. Smaller, makes sure you tap that arrow, makes sure this is on uniform. I still have snapping. Doesn't really matter. And I'll think I want to actually put up magnetics off so that they can really put this under where I want it, that we have. The next part. I think this is way too large. We're gonna make this smaller. Start with the snowman. Select it. There you go. That's a better size. And now I need to create a smaller bunny. There you go. All right, I'm dead size. And that's pretty good. Now if the bonding, we're gonna do the same thing, we're going to duplicate that image. We're going to select Alpha Lock. We're going to choose debt, shadow color. We're going to fill it. We don't see it because it's behind it. Say motion blur. We know we want five per cent Already. Good. And if I move the money now, there's the shadow. There is no there is no blue of course, because still my alpha lock is on. Switch the Alpha Lock off. Now go to the Blur, Gaussian Blur, say five per cent. Good. And now I need to move it where I want it. I think I'm fine with that. I duplicate this image, I take the middle one. Now we're going to say Alpha Lock again. And I'm going to fill this layer with the white. Up here. There you go. Alright, we're moving this to this side. One and make it smaller again, as with the other one. There you go, That is better. I like that. Might make this one even a little bit smaller day go. Now we have that nice cut effects. We now have two of the three objects for this layer. In the next one is a tree. We're going to make a tree, really simple tree. Let's do that. Before I'm going to make the tree, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to bring back these two layers. Need to make sure everything is in the right place. Oh, I'm going to say I have this on Alpha Lock, switch off the alpha lock. Select these three and say group, this will be my bunny. Diego. Now I know what everything is. Let's start with the snowman. I'm going to move the snowman into this layer. That's good. The next thing we're going to do, I'm going to take the bunny and I'm going to move that into the layer two. Good. Now we've got the snowman, we've got the bony. Alright, it looks good. Next thing we're going to need is some trees. New layer. For the trees. We're going to just make some simple pine trees. We've still got the pen selected. So on touch airbrush, we're going to take the light brown color. What we're gonna do, we're going to create a triangle, doesn't matter where it is. Trying to get as close to a triangle as possible. When you finish hold it. And it says polyline created. We're going to edit this shape. Because now you can see this is not really a triangle, this is further away. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna move this until it's pretty much roughly a triangle. I think I like that a site from this point here, this is not good. So we want to correct it a little bit of a line. I'm going to fill my triangle. There you go. That's my tree. Well, not much of a tree yet, but we're going to use this as the base of the tree. Let's move this a little bit down. Now, the one that I just want to move it, Degas, we're going to make it smaller in a minute. Okay, good. Next thing is we're going to duplicate this one. And I'm going to say my snipping, I'm going to put those magnetics on again so that I can keep it nicely in the middle. Creates a slightly smaller tail. That looks good. And I'm going to duplicate that one again. I think I may have to align these a little bit better, make it smaller. All right, looking good. And the bottom one doesn't look good. So may need to move that one over. That's better. Now we're getting there. Top one, I'm duplicating again. I'm moving it. And of course, obviously making it slightly smaller. Over pretty much. That is about in the middle. That's pretty good. And I'm duplicating that one again, creating even a smaller one. I may want to say that to free form. I want to make that slightly larger like that. I think I'm okay with my tree like deaths. But except for the bottom one is that's too large. What I'm gonna do is uniform, slightly smaller. Let's move it. It's still larger than that one. Yeah. That's better. Alright. Good. Next thing is I'm going to merge all of these. Merge down, Merge Down, merge down, and merge down. And now I'm going to put this on free form. I'm going to make this slightly taller but narrower. And there you go. I like this better. Next, we're going to create a trunk. Let's make it ourselves fairly easy. Create a new layer under the tree. What I'm gonna do is I'm going to draw a square, hold it, Edit Shape, and then I can choose square. It should create a nice square for me. You could choose rectangular or a square. There you go, and fill this one too with brown. And I'm going to move it into the right direction. There you go about in the middle. I think it's a bit too wide, so we're still having this on free form. I might make it slightly less bright day ego. That is a lot better. Okay? Now I'm going to merge these two into a tree. Merge, merge this one down. Now we have one tree. I'm going to duplicate this. And I'm going to duplicate it one time. I'm going to select the duplicated one. Let's hide the top one. Let's pick the right color. But first we need to set it on alpha lock picking this column, we're filling it. And the next thing, Guassian blur, we go back to the five per cent. We need to switch off the Alpha Lock first year. I keep on forgetting that Gaussian blur, Alpha Lock off. Five per cent. That's good. Alright, and my duplicate this right away. And the next thing what I'm gonna do is I'm going to just choose the white color, make sure we have the white color. Go back to the layer, say alpha lock than say Fill Layer. Now it's Y2 and alpha lock off. And let me show you that it's white. If I move it, they see there are these white. So that's the easy way while you're in layers, you can do that. That seems a little bit of time. Alright, I need to bring back that tree. Move the shadow. There you go. Nice. And I'll move that white part. The paper cut effect might do off magnetics. I'm switching them off so that I have a lot more control on what I'm doing here. I'm going to create a slightly smaller tree too. There you go. I think I might like that. The only thing I don't like is the shadow being on top of it and that is not good. So I need to move that layer. There we go. Now I know what I'm doing. Now I see what I'm doing. Wasn't completely right. Okay, That's better. Alright. And now we have our free elements. Now we have our three main elements. There's one missing actually does the fox, we're gonna do the flux in the next lesson. Then add some more elements to create a complete scene. Let's do that in the next lesson. 4. More Trees, the Fox and Mountains: Most of the elements are there now, except for that fox. It is missing out on a fox in the scene. I also want some mountains in the scene, even rising or some, depending on how you look at it. And even some snow or stars. Again, depending on the way you look at it. But we're going to start with this, folks. Let's do that. What we're gonna do next is we're going to add the fox. So we're going to tap the range. We're going to say Insert a photo and you need to select the dead fox. And then we've got this huge folks. What do we do next is, let's put this on uniform and already determined the size of the fox. I think that's still too large. I think this might be, let's put the fox there roughly the right way. The fox is looking to the wrong side. So what we're gonna do is we're going to say flip horizontally. There you go. Now it's looking more at D rabbit. And now I see that this fox is too large. Let's go for this. That is about the same serratus about the good size. Let's put the fox there. Let Emily have looked at the rabbits now, peaceful see, nothing is happening at the moment, but who knows what happens afterwards? Alright, so I've got my fox. What we're gonna do next is we're going to add a layer of both of the fox. And I'm just going to trace the lines. And what we're gonna do is I'm going to start with this line. I'm just tracing the outside of the folks. I've only actually need to do the outsides. Nothing inside because we're not having any details with this drawing. There you go. Now I need to make sure this is close so I'm going to hide the layer above it. I don't want to make sure that that is not a nice line. That is better. Make sure this gets close so that I can fill it. Now I bring back the foreground and there's my fox. I can hide it or even delete that image. Don't need that anymore. I'm going to duplicate the fox. I'm going to say to that layer, go alpha lock. I'm going to choose the right color. I'm going to say fill layer. Switch off the Alpha Lock, magic, the magic wand, say Gaussian blur. 5% is good. You already see an outline. Oh, no, no, move it a little bit. Don't enlarge it. Good. And we're going to duplicate this layer. Duplicate, we're going to choose that white color. With this layer, the middle layer, we're going to say alpha lock, fill layer. Switch off the Alpha Lock and move that white. I might want to make that smaller too like with the other ones. So that only goes. But I wanted to go I'm think I'm me. A little bit too small. One. Sum. That's good. Alright, Good. There you go. Now we have all our elements. I just need to group this group. And there we go, rename. This is the fox. Okay, there you go. Alright, the next thing what I need is a new, Let's see. I'm going to put the fox is now nicely in front of the tree. We might want, might keep it that way. Now, all we want this fox really behind this tree now on this tree on top. There you go. Yes, I want the folks behind that tree, but I want to duplicate this tree a couple of times. Duplicate and duplicate. And what I'm gonna do next is I'm going to put this true trees, two trees under everything. I'm going to move the trees. I'll select the arrow, move them. And I want to make them slightly small. There you go, Get that other tree and move it the other way. Also, that one goes slightly smaller, bit too high. Now, There you go. I don't want it to overlap too much. This is nice. And this tree here, I know that there's this one I'm going to duplicate again. And I want to move right there. And now we have the choice to move it behind or in front. I do want this tree to be behind everything, so I'm putting that one at the bottom. There you go. Let's move it a little bit more. I'm going to even make that one slightly smaller. Make sure you can really see the tree well with the outline a little bit. Alright, and I think that duplicate that is nicely. We might do one in-between there or let's keep it like this. Charles, you could, you could do one day or two. I'm going to leave it like this. Alright, good. We've got our main elements. Now under this, we're going to add a new layer. And we're going to create a little bit of background here. Behind here we want to have a little bit of a background. Therefore, we need that light brown color and we have a new layer which kept the color. We've got everything. So now I need to scribble a line behind here. I want the line to go around here, but I'm not going to go for straight line. I'm starting at the end, scribbling, scribbling a little bit like that, until I reach the end. Now I fill this with the brown color. There you go. Now again, it's all one, brown, blue, but that will change. This one I'm going to duplicate. As with the others, I'm gonna do my alpha lock. I'm going to select that color. I'm going to say fill layer. And I'm going to say no more alpha lock. And with this one, I'm not going to do actually cuts sites might do that. Let's see what we're gonna do with that. I'm going to first of all, blurred too much five per cent. I'm going to move it like this. Remember we might do a white. Let's see what happens when we do a wide one. We duplicate this. We're picking the middle one. We're going to say Alpha Lock. We're going to select the white color. And we're going to say fill layer. And then no more alpha lock and move it. I'm going to move it to the other side. That might still work. Okay, let's do that. And let's group these and call it whatever background foliage. Bush's. Let's call it pushes. Alright, good bushes, weird, renamed bushes. There you go. That's better. I still know bushes. Oh my goodness. Bushes. Bushes. Finally, I've got Bush's. Okay. And let's rename this layer so that we know what this is to rename it to, let's say grass, Good. The layer one is just the front layer. Alright, now I need some mountains. I'm gonna do mountains in two parts. Behind the background. Add a new layer for mountains. Let's do some short mountains and some long mountains. Let's start here. Who started outside again? I've got the white color. I don't want that. Let's make sure we've got that brown color. I've added a white color. That's my first mountain. I would say, let's fill this with the brown color. Good, Let's duplicate this and do the same process again. Alpha Lock, choose to color, fill color. And we might just as well duplicate it again, and it's on Alpha lock so that we can quickly fill it. Fill color now on alpha locket and on alpha lock this one and go for a caution blur on this one. But now I need to do to Gaussian Blur twice. Caution blur it. And there we go. Let's see. Let's move to first shadow that should come behind there. And then we're going to move the white that should only come in front of that one. Nice. See, we've got a little bit of a mountain. And next one, what are we going to do is group these. I'm going to call this front mountain. They go. And the next thing under it, I'm going to add a new layer with the final mountain and make sure I got the right color this time I do now. And a bit of a larger mountain. Let's move it like that. So no, I don't like that one. Let's do it again. I think that's better, although I may want to move it. Right, Derrida with or even shorter. Let's do one shorter and move it like debt. Good. Hopefully I've closed it. Will find out in a minute. Yes, I've done that. Good. Let's duplicate it again. I'm gonna put this on Alpha Lock. I've got the brown color, I'm just going to drop it in there. Now. We're going to switch off the Alpha Lock. You don't see anything yet. But when I'm going to caution blurred is you can see I've got the right color. Five per cent. Yep. Move this layer. I want to shadow right there. And I'm going to duplicate this alpha lock, pick that white color, drop it in. There you go, white-collar. Now, move this layer to this site. And there you go. Nice. Group this tube. This one needs to get rid of the Alpha Lock. Group. It last, now, not the last group. There's one more group. We're going to do one more element. That's not really a group. This is the mountain. I don't need to front mountain, back mountain. This is obvious. What is behind it. We're going to create one more layer. We're going to create a rising sun or a setting sun or a moon. However, you want to call this. For that, we're going to draw a nice circle. We're going to go for the brown color again. Now, we're not going to go for the brown color for this, of course, we're gonna go for the light yellow color, That's way better. The light yellow color for the sun. I don't want brown color for some diva. I've cut a new layer. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to draw a new circle around here. Hold it until it gives me the option, edit shape, say circle or minus, pretty decent. I like that. I'm going to fill it with that color. I'm going to move it a little bit. Like dance. I like it like that. Now with this, I'm not gonna do shadows and stuff like that. While I have this one, I already have a nice circle. I'm going to duplicate this. I'm going to move it and we're going to create little circles like that's slightly smaller around that size. And I want to see everything I'm doing. I'm going to duplicate this. And I'm going to move them just at random places. Duplicate. Move on there. Duplicate. And if you run out of layers, you can just, you could keep one of them and merge the others together. Duplicate. Let's see where we are. We need some there. Well, that's okay. You could add more or less what we're gonna do evolve this. I want to group all of these. That's a lot of them. Group them. And then I'm going to select that group, tap on it and I'm going to say flatten, and now it's just one layer with all these little things on it. And I said, I'm not going to be shadow with dose. We're going to leave dislike this. One layer isn't right yet. We need to adjust one of the layers and that is the first grass layer we created. It has no shadow, it has no cuts site. So we need to do that. Alright, the next thing, the thing we learned is grass. I'm going to duplicate that. I'm going to set this again to alpha lock. I'm going to choose that color for the shadow. I'm going to say fill layer makes sure the alpha lock is off now again. And then the last thing, do five per cent. There you go. And we need to move that layer. There you go. It's behind there. And I want the shadow to be on this side, everything is on this side. So if that layer, I want the shadow to be on that side too. Not that much. Good. I like that. I'm going to duplicate this one and say, No, I'm not clipping mask. Say alpha lock, That's better. Pick the white color, fill the layer. No more alpha lock and move the layer to the other sides. To get that cut effect. There you go. Nice. And now I need to do, of course, same with that first frame, but let's hang on. Let's group these first. Let's rename it to the grass. And let's duplicate the top layer. So the first front layer, we're going to say alpha lock here and need that brown color. I'm going to fill that layer. And then alpha lock off. Go for the Gaussian blur. Five per cent. There you go. I'm going to move that layer this way so that there is nothing here and nothing on the bottom. We don't see the button, but I think this should be okay. Duplicating this, picking that middle layer alpha lock, fill layer alpha lock off. And let's move it. It now needs only on the bottom and on this side. And I'm okay with that. Can we It's not that much there. Give it slightly a little bit here, but most there are right now. You can at least see all the layers nicely. Front back. Everything is there, but everything is now on top of each other. No light effect, nothing. That is for the next lesson, the final lesson, we're going to add our light effect to all of this. And then you also will know why we haven't merged some of these layers but kept them in texts. Alright, I'll see you in the next lesson. 5. Let there be Light: The final part, we now have all these layers cluttered on top of each other, but no real light effects. We need to add some light effect to all of this. I'm going to show you how to do that. Now with a light box. The light of course is behind it and it gives you that affect that. Further you move to the front. The darker it gets, the closer to the lighter, lighter it will get. And you have some shining parts. And we're going to need to bring that in, at least simulate that a little bit. Now, this is a little trick, at least the trick I'm using for it. And I'm going to show you that first. I'm gonna start with that back here. Oh, I don't want that. Find the debt last layer. I merged the oh, I didn't need to do that. I have merged the sun and the stars or the snow with it. Um, well, let's see if that goes well. I'm going to first of all blurred. Now. I need to separate them because that's not gonna work. Okay, undo that. I need. I've put the sun and the moon and the stars into one. What I'm going to do, I'm going to separate that for that, I'm going to choose that ribbon. I want to make sure it's on freehand. I'm going to trace around. That's not good. And do that again. I'm going to trace around the sun, not take these things. I noticed sonars, they're good. I'm going to say cut. And I'm going to say paths right away. And now it should be on its own. New layer above the star, doesn't matter. Now I can go wash in blood is a little bit around 80 per cent would work. I think. That's pretty good. Yeah, I like that. Alright. Now I can go to that layer below it. Caution blur this a little bit too. But not that much is too much already. Let's do three per cent. I think I'm fine with the free percent. That's nice. Alright, good. The next thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go back to the sun or the moon, or sun, moon, whatever it is. I'm going to pick Blum. Blum, what you can do, you can add a light effect at a blooming light effect to everything. What we're gonna do, we're gonna say the burn, we're gonna go to the maximum, the size, right? Somewhere in the middle transition. We're going to keep on Macs for now. And I'm going to just move this and add a light effect. See the ego as way too much. Of course, we need to find a middle ground where it is nicely. Going. There you go. This psi ones. If I do one too much, it gets to here, I want some of this transition here. You can see them 123. So I'm going for 80%. Alright, good. Nice. Let's do this again. Switch it off. We've got our Blood sun. Let's go to the balloon. The burn on maximum the size and the same. Let's move to transition down and just let's see what's happening now. And I'm going to slide again and now it takes longer. See, and now I have perhaps a little bit more control. I like this. So 46% bloom is on 60% the sizes on 55. You can lower this, make it larger. See what 55, 50 around 50, 55. What's the nice sweet spot? And if you do less burn, see, you get, don't get the effects. So we want the maximum effect. Do it like this. Good. With those stars. I of course need the same thing. I'm going to select that layer. I'm going to go to debts. Bloom. And I'm going to say again the size, I'm going to keep on around 55 to transition max for this one, I would say. Let's see if we can add a little bit of a light effect to this. We can. There you go. But now we're having a slight issue. As you can see, we've got too much blue around it. I don't want that. Let's move the size. There you go. We're moving the size down. Splay will see if you move to the size of the bloom too much, it gets all roundup larger. You do this, the more it goes around the object. And we will don't want it that much on the object. We need to find that sweet spot like this, around 28%. The burn. We're good with this one. Lowered burn a little bit. 50 per cent to transition. We're keeping it on max. There you go. So the bloom here is 20 ft per cent transition on max size 28 and a burn on 64 per cent for this one. And that already creates a whole different effect, doesn't it? Really nice. I want to start with this and I'm going to work my way from the back. The back it would be lighter as it would be on the front. For that, I'm going to pick that brown mountain. And that is why I got everything in layer still and not merge these layers because then the effect just doesn't work that well. The mountain I'm going to do just to bloom, transition max, this around the middle, burn maximum, and want to make a nice light mountain of this right here, right like that. Just 100 per cent. You get right away. You can see the effect. See, this brings in an atmosphere. Now the only thing which we have here is that transition. So we're going to try to get rid of that. Let's see if we manage that. The burn max, Let's go for the lower. You go, we've got that lower. We can still move this to 100 per cent to burn. If we do it too much, it doesn't do anything. But the nice thing is, the more you do your burn, you get a nice transition. We want that, we're going to keep this around 50 per cent. We're going to move this away. And let's keep it on the max, around 50 per cent here, and the max here too. Next thing what we're gonna do is we're gonna take this little hand. We're going to pick a brush, and in this case, airbrushing muscle and airbrushing. Let's pick the nice soft brush. Let's see, I've kept this around 50%, 60. Let's do 50 per cent here. Size. I'm fine with five per cent. And we're going to blur this a little bit. We're not erasing it. We're blurring it into the background. There you go. That is nicer. So we keep this nice transition. We have a little bit of a light effects here. And there you go. See. Now we're getting a totally different idea of our mountain, of our scene. The next mountain, we're picking the mountain. We're going back to D bloom. We're going to say 50% maximum there. Max, max, max around 50 per cent. Let's go for a real 50 for this one. And let's start adding color. Now, the trick is to not go hundred percent because then we get the same light, we want to go less. I'm going about 94% to get a different brown. See, this is a different light because this one is closer to us. Let's light comes through. I think I'm fine with this. There's a blur or allow rounded. I don't mind this. I'm not going to edit anything with this transition. This is good. For now. The bushes, that is this layer behind it, we're going to do exactly the same bloom around 50 per cent, hundred percent. We're going to move this until we have a slightly darker brown. Then that layer. And again, the transition around it, the size of the bone around it. I'm okay with that for this one, no need to edit that one. We're getting there. The next one are the trees. Now there's two trees on the same layer. That other bushes. That is the factory. We need to do that one first and then we need to do these two. They're on the same layer. Bloom. I'm gonna go for slightly larger on this one. Let's see the effect of that 1 h. To move it to lights, I need to look at this back and make it slightly lighter, darker than that one. I think for this one I'm okay with 90%. I like that. That's good. Okay? Right, the next one, we've got those two batteries. We're gonna do one of them. And then remember what we're doing with it and do that on the other one. Bloom, want to set it to 50, 55%, burn, totally, move it way too light and now get a little bit darker than that tree. So we had that on 90% is going to go under the 90. Let's go for 88. Now here, there you go. I would say 87 per cent will do it. Alright. The next tree that is distri, that is on this side, we're gonna do the same again, Bloom. We had, I had around 55%, 54. Just want to max this one on Macs and we're going to move it to that 89%, I think 87, I was, there you go. 87. There we go. See, now we're getting already that whole effect. We want to offer a lightbox simple. With this. We're going to remove this a little bit. Let's do that right away. We're on that layer. Yeah. This is just too much, Diego. And I might go back to the other trees. And remove it there too a little bit, not too much. And the last tree, remove it here. A little bit too. There you go, that's better. Getting really nice. We're having done the trees. We're now at the front. Let's do the front tree while we're doing the trees. Let's do the front tree. And we need to remember this too, because all these elements. Now hang on. We need to do the phosphorus. Of course, those are the fox. The fox is behind the tree. Where's the fox? There you go. The fox choose to Fox. Bloom around 50, 55% burn fully again, I know the other one is 87. So I need to go back to that 87 per cent. I'm going with this one for that is there is a nice contrast between the tree and the fox. If I go too much, there's not enough contrast. I think I could go 86 to 85, 85% for this one. And let's read, I'm still having that tool to remove, to blur. To blend in. That's the right thing. To blend in the blur a little bit with this scene. And now I'm gonna do these other ones. The snowman, the bonnie, this tree in front of it. Start with the tree blown on the percent and let's move it to get I would say 82 is good. 83. Can we get away with 83? Now, let's go for 82. I think AD2 is a nice one for this. Remember that A22. I want to do the same with the snowman. Whereas you Bonnie, I'm getting to the body first. So let's do the bonnie them around 50, or did we do 82% or they go 82? Let's do the snowman now two and then we're almost done. And 82%. There you go. And The Snowman, I definitely need to blend in the blur alone. It's a little bit of the background and the bunny, I think I'm fine with the bony like this. There you go. Now, the last element is the grass. We need to change that a little bit too. Perhaps not as much, much noise. Also not sharper management. We want bloom. Yes, fame queue size around 50 per cent for this one, bit lower, the restaurant. And let's give it some color. There we go. This is, of course, a different color. This is a darker color, so I'm going 100 per cent again to get that light effect a little bit. There you go. Let's see. Is there a lot of transition? Yes, There's a lot around here. So I'm going to take that still on that layer and I'm going to blur whatever is above it a little bit into the rest of the scene day you go the front one, you can just leave it like this, just plain as it is to get the most contrast areas. There. You have it our lightbox. And then we have our light box or paper called Lightbox, at least the first one. We've got one in a certain tone, our brownish, yellowish tone, but we can take out a tone for this. We can change this very easily in Procreate to a totally different color scheme. We're gonna do that in the last lesson, which also would be the projects. Once you entered last lesson. 6. Using Gradient Maps & The Project: Welcome to the project slash final lesson. In this, I'm going to change the color scheme on this, what we've created. And of course we want to give you a project. Well, let's start with the project first. For the project, what you can do, so of course, post this exactly the same scene, or perhaps you want to create your own lightbox in Procreate, we've totally different elements. The techniques I've shown, you can do that and I love to see what you create. So if you do the same and posted or create the same, and then do a whole different scene and just let all of us enjoy your lightbox looking forward to see them. The next step, what we're gonna do is we're going to change the color scheme on that. Let me show you how to do that. To do that, what I'm gonna do first is I'm going to go to my gallery. I'm going to create a duplicate. I'm sliding to the left. I'm going to say duplicate because I'm going to mess up the scene, but I want to keep my original because I simply like it. What I'm gonna do first of all, let me see. I'm going to group these two. Now. I've got everything in a group. Yes. And I'm going to select all these groups and even the background. And I'm going to group all the groups. And on this group, what I'm going to say, I'm going to flatten this. Now it's just one image which I can actually play with. And we're going to do duplicate it a few more times. Duplicate, I'm going to hide it. Alright, I'm going to take the top one. I don't want to just alter the color scheme on this. And how to do that is you can do this very easily in Procreate you shipping that range. Again, we're going to change the gradient map. Now you could play with the hue saturation brightness. You could change the color balance on it. You can do curves to create. But what we're gonna do is we're going to use that gradient map. And as you see, it picks one of those gradient maps. I have no clue which one is selected as Venice. And as you can see, what happens in one-click, a totally different color. Let's see you can pick mystic. Interesting. Then I've got some here which ignore, I've made those. You can change, you can do breeze very nicely. These are mine again. So we had the instant, instant fairness. I like this one. The place is very interesting. You might want to have some neon colors, red, or get a really nice dark scene. Pick a gradient which is nice, Mocha, or even dipole proxy. You can pick whatever you like. I like to finish one. I like that one. I'm going to say, don't you go, I liked so on c, total different color scheme. Alright, When I hate this one, the next one, what we're gonna do, You can also make your own color scheme with this. So we're going back to that gradient map. We're going to just say simply a plus n. This is interesting too, isn't it? It just picks totally gray tone colors and you have to change your colors yourself. So what we can do, let's say we want something bluish. We're going from a really dark blue. So we have to move this to a dark blue. There you go. Nice dark blue to a very light blue. Let's pick that. So the blue again, you will have to remember pretty much blue you picked. There you go. If you want to add your own separate colors to here, let's say you want to change the gradient a little bit. You just pick somewhere and you could change the color here. Let's go with a total different blue. Then you get a whole different effect. You can even add, see a lot of tone to it and create more gradients. This interesting too, but let's keep it in blue for this one. So then it goes from a gradient from dark to emit to light. It does it automatically. So if you want to change that a little bit, this is nice. See a little bit more polish, then. You can do that too. Some different tones the way you like it. There we go. Now it's just probably calling this gradient map done now I've got loads of gradient maps. And you can just change them, create whatever you like. It's calling it as gradient, by the way. If you want a different, totally different tones, let's go into the rats. New gradient map. Nice and to the red's. Nice dark, going to a nice light red, even orange, you get that. But I want to transition here to be slightly quicker. So I might move this up a little bit to change gradients. A little bit. There you go. And it's not doing that, done. And so now I've got the blue gradient. I could rename this. And I've got that light gradients and stay you go. So you can create your own color sets with this. You can do interesting things with it. Now I didn't apply the blue one, so I need to go back. And if it is, well, it's still there, the Gradient Map. There you go. Alright, now, I do like this. Very interesting. All kinds of colors. 11 more thing I'm going to show you with this background one, Let's hide the rest. I'm going to duplicate this one. I did. Okay. What you can do with that gradient Two, Last one we're going to show, I'm gonna go back to that gradient. And you probably already seen here that you can slide to adjust. You can go from a very light tone to very dark tone for this, the lighter tone Mike work. And then you get a different effects. These are pretty much the same. But to show you, you can go darker, you can go lighter with it too. So do you have that option two? This way, you can create your own color schemes using gradient maps is a really quick way to change the colors you have. You can, of course use it for any coloring, any, any picture you've made in, Procreate, anything you've done, you could do it two separate layer still, we've now collapse into one. We can play with it in one go, but you can use this on separate layers to, of course, credit maps, right? Handy feature. I think that's it. Yeah. That's it for this one. Yes, we're totally done with that. We've got a really nice paper cut lightbox. Now, what would be fun is to create a real paper cuts light box from this. But that's for another class. I might actually do that as a good idea to do something with this and create the real paper cup light box. That would be fun, but not for this class. This class ends here. Make sure you follow me here so that you get the notification whenever the new class is ready. And there's plenty of other classes I have for you to enjoy. Perhaps you want to check out some more. Thank you for being with me in this class. There was, was fun to create something totally different, but really fun to do. And who knows? I might see you in another class.
