2. Getting ready : So I hope you are ready and let's get started. You're going to create texture paper first. I'm going to tap Plus enough to add plus change from pixels to inches and either at 10 by 10 inches. And as you see, keeping in mind, DPI should be 300 and a maximum layers that you can have is 55 and up to Type create enough to the original layer. Next, obese, I'm going to go and download our texture. Paper prompts a folder Downloads. Once again, how can we get all my freebies, all my brushes? You need to go to the projects and sources section. This is just one of the sections in my class and in the right corner and is a headline sources, you will get all my freebies and the guys in order to them on all my freebies, you need to be in a browser, knows in a Skillshare app. Because when you are in the Skillshare app, some opposite free this mostly previous Zai might not be visible. So you can go opens it in Safari in wrong and download all of them. So after that I will go and add, press, Add to press, insert the file. Okay, after tech Fichte's screen and just go and move Suarez to the edges. Now, all areas field is our texture paper nafta set, duplicate it, move one layer to Linear Burn and another one to color burn. After said, You need to duplicate it one time and one time colorbar after the merchant together and merge together. Our next step is either love or SAP positive. 50 percent group set, neck thin, just rename them guys, we need to create a couple of new layers. And as I mentioned in introduction, we're going to create today for different cupcakes. And I already prepared for your brush set color palette. And today we have no sketches. Requests, all the sketches that you need in our precious. So once against this, our color palette, which is called cupcakes. And speaking about brush set, I created for you a lot of your brushes. You might see them here. So we have lots of stem brushes, patterns that we're going to use today in our illustration. I created for your six different cakes. So you will have an option to choose reach cupcake you like most. I even have unicorn cupcake and I haven't played was actually going to create some composition. And I created stars. Also some simple steps that will help us to add beautiful decoration elements. That as a theme is via go bubbles, temp, and cross hatch. And this is very important. Today. I will change our style it a little bit. So we're going to use pencil a lot. And it's the same time we will use watercolor. I'll also have this flower stem, which is also pretty nice ways. Ixy let this brush will help us with our shadings, wood texture. This is for all cupcakes and put kit. Also pretty lovely and we will use it for our declarations. Also, I added one of my new brushes, which is called full Kinsey's. This brush is nice because it has very rough alliance, the rough edges you see him here. I will exit. But watercolor backgrounds, it will help us to add some beautiful splashes. And by crowned, a lot of these two brushes from Procreate, Tara layer and mercury brush. So I hope you're ready. Let's move to our first cupcake.
3. Painting 1st cupcake : Well, I think we're ready to start and I will go and create and grab bouquet K5, pretty 1101 and idle over South isotope, our Caixa and I will go and grab kinda what a color. And I have different colors here. Once again, it's fine if you will go beyond the lions. I actually want to keep it all over LED pins and will help us to add the Laplacian to our picture. On keyhole. After that, I will create a new layer because I'm going to paint everything on different layers. Because later I'm going to go and add some textures to our cupcakes. After that, I will call in-group yellow colored. Increase the size. Once again, you can overlap. So let's just beans at top half our cupcake in yellow. Just color set. Create a new layer. I know it's like typical for me to paint everything on different layers. But today we have a little bit different class. Cause I'm gonna show you another technique said, I recently discovered and I actually like the way how, how to paint. So once again, you can pay in 20 top and it will help us. You can press harder and in this way you will have more pigment. And same here you see we have some, I think it's some kind of candies. And also you can paint candies in different colors. Like it can be blue up to grep differentiates and color. Sam. Our next step is what I told you, we need to concrete of transparency. And this way we need to duplicate our layer. And if you replicate it, you see you make it more saturated and I likes away how it looks. So I will move South Pacific or fight off the layer to 50 percent that the eyeball merge it together. I'm going to just say m is all layers, 50 percent and after merge together. And the firsthand merge together. After that, Let's return to our cupcake, to the bottom of our cupcake, go to lower layer. Says Adjustments, press hue, saturation and brightness and tap layer. After that, turn your brightness into maximum. And now I only have white layer. Let's duplicate it three times and nafta merge it together. So now our cupcake is not transparent anymore. What does it mean? I will show you, for example, here you see we have VCs agreed beyond the lines, but in our paint in here in our cupcake and this part, we don't see also cc always is greet. And let's just say in these oscillators, I will duplicate our yellow layer, go to the Adjustments Hue, Saturation, Brightness and press layer. After said, Torno brightness to maximum. Duplicated three times. Merge together and merge together. Saved without Candice, Adjustments, Hue Saturation, Brightness, layer, turn brightness into maximum. Three times, merge together and merge together. Now the array after said either love or SAP by city, even logged. And now I'm going to tell you how to VLAN some lines. In this way. You need to press Alpha Lock. It means that now we can pay in jazz and our selected area. You go to blending tool and grab Terrell lamp brush. So you see it now we can blend this part is the ASA auction. How can you blend? How can you blend? Everything is I'll leave in the US, He's edges idle. Show you a nicer way to turn off our Alpha Lock mode. And off to say it, you need to press Select and Alice same. We can just spend on all selected area while VIA in a selection mode. And we can do same. So please choose the options that you like most. And just blend it. And also my suggestion don't blend everything entirely, just very sharp lines. And if any of Don, because you're paying ten after that, turn off your selection tool. I like it. So my asset layer, I think I will go and graph this orange color also press Select. After zed UV need to go and grab lyndon tube, main Jacqueline sunlight. Just tiny beat. Okay, done. Do say you select one to make it sets a target Sharp. Same here. Likes at one. For now, I like silly how? Our next part is, I actually want to add some background. And in this way, you might use for watercolor background, you might use book candy. I think I'm going to use for watercolor background first. And they were corrupt this light blue color. And just paint a few layers yet likes it. Grabs selection tool press free hand. Now I want to add some color variations to our background. Press Pfizer, 12 percent adjustments, hue saturation, brightness. You can increase the brightness and make some color variation, some changes, like Sadie likes it. So the things that we need to do, we need to add some stems to create a new layer on top of zed layer and B go to cPanel and press clipping mask. That means that we can pay in jazz on our selected area. Why we are doing says why we don't choose alpha log or selection mode. Because in this way, if you don't like something, if you don't like what you paint, you can just delete the layer. But when you use Alpha Lock or selection tool, your paint on our original layer, you pay in here and you can change your paintings. You can't undo them, you can't delete them. You can delete them, just use your regional layer. Provides very convenient to use clipping mask because if you don't like something, she will just delete the layer. So I'm on the layer that is in Clipping Mask Mode. After that, I will go and I want to grab blue flower stem. Okay, cool. And once again, if you don't like something just to oversell positive. So what I'm planning to do after said, I want to add some color, some texture to the background. In this way, we need to make our background not transparent. You remember, it's very important in order to add shades, we need to make our N of our layers not transparent. Because if you don't use it, you'll There is so transparent and all your shades or your paintings. So to paint on the top in a Clipping Mask Mode will not be visible. So create a new layer on the top of our background picture and press clipping mask. Thank you. Once again, if you don't like all our kids can just removes them there as an option if you want to make change the coloring it to press Select. Now our kits are selected and you tap 2 times 2, so white color and now we have pure white. And after press Fill Layer. So now our cats here all around say are white. If you want to make it more saturated, you need to duplicate it one more time. I liked those kids, say extremely beautiful. So I keep some lake sat and after either create a new layer on the top, I'll move to black color. And after you can go to Sketch and Bart and grab six B pencil, actually, it's better to move to brown color, likes head. And you might just sketch it, use pencil and paint like set. So as you see all my lines, I don't paint just one solid line. I just sketch it. Like if you are painting in a real life, just paint some main lights. Lead three for the lycopene DNS, if you don't like your pencil sketch, you might just lowers our audience. It's, it's enough. So my aim is to reach the maximum authentic, realistic look like when we are using watercolor. And before we start using watercolor, we need to use pencil to pen some sketches. So what I'm gonna do right now, now, the cherry sketch it in this way. Now same quizzes cup or a Spartans at one. And after setting to create a new layer underneath of our sketching layers at one. And I will go and grab new stamp, which is called Bull cross hatching. And now it will help me to add different shades. And you see it's so realistic. Keep in mind, we need to be if you're going to use this layer when you create a new layer and we need to press clipping mask. It means that now I can pay interest here and now but in color and add some shapes. Nice. Create New Layer. So I do legs away how it looks, and let's do it step-by-step. Step-by-step, step-by-step. So merge all your layers altogether with your clipping mask layers. And after it merged together your cupcake. Next step is merge it together. Okay, Our next step is I want to make it a little bit brighter. So I go to Course, press layer enough to sad. I made it a little bit lighter, enough to set a little bit darker. And now it's so bright. The last final detail. What I'm going to do is I will merge it together. I will go to Selection Tool press rectangle. And I'm going to add and select this areas at one. And that's the press copy and paste. So first cup cake is ready. Guys. I hope you enjoyed my first paint in and let's move to the next one. So now you know how it simple to paint different cupcakes. Things to cross head, chin. It means you are combining, Combining worker and actual pencil.
4. Painting 2nd cupcake: That k Now move to black color. And I decided it took pains at one. Against this cupcake is a lovely TOPO can do watercolor brush. And after that, I think this is chocolate. This is some kind of cream berries. Okay, Perfect. Don't forget about shades. I already can add some here. And after set rapid eraser, well versus size and separate our cupcake froms a background. Create a new layer. Red color. Buried. After the chocolate. New layer. I came, I excited. Now it's time to blend all our areas, but before that we need to get rid of transparency. Remember that? So replicate our background code to Adjustments, Hue, Saturation and Brightness. Turn brightest maximal. Duplicated 20 times, merge together and nourished. Same as our cherry lovers that bicipital 50 percent merge together to replicate on what time go to lower layer adjustments, hue saturation and brightness and press layer and turn now brightness to maximum. Merge together and merged together. Same visit cream, 50 percent merge together. They replicate lower layer adjustments, hue saturation and brightness. Turn your practice into maximum. Replicate that Kate merge together and merge together. Add, press select, blending tool and blend some lines. He likes it, the crown like SAT, same here. Press Select, blend at all. It's not entirely like this. I like it here. But some chairs have to set and go to the last layer, press select blending tool, and also blend timing bead, IO create a new layer on top of our cream press clipping mask. I'm going to go and add a little bit of textures. Bull bubble stamp. I don't like this temp, so I'm going to edit likes his. And after sad, if you want to change it and go to Hue Saturation and Brightness layer. And think about, yeah, I went to keep it wide. Once again, you can lovers up. Keep it brighter, lighter. I'll keep it in this way. We need to create one more layer. And this layer we'll do in a Clipping Mask Mode you see because it's between our regional layer and the other layers at taus already in the Clipping Mask Mode. So in this way, high buckle and cripple, little bit darker color. And I need to add some shades for watercolor background. Tiny bead. Save the rest of our paint hits. Clipping mask. Here, brown color. We're going to add more shades here. Shows a chocolate. Have to set red color. Things that I need to show. Dark brown color versus size. Color background, brush. So addToSet, larger together and merge together, interact to give them an hour next to these guys, I'm going to go and merge it together. And I will go and Group Selection Tool press free hand. And I need to show some shade here. Because when two objects are close to each other, breast ad in this area we have shadow and add. Now guys, I want phasor said, I will go to Adjustments pressed, Hue, Saturation and Brightness layer. And I will just add some shapes you see it's so cold. You can make it more saturated, less saturated exits. And I keep it like sad. And now we're going to do same here in this part. The last part I need to show the shadow and in nice cream and press Add. Also want Pfizer said also I have one more shape in this part. Add, press Adjustments, Hue, Saturation, Brightness layer, and lowers uprightness, Lexis. Okay, Lovely. Like sad. After that I will turn off our sketch layer. We don't need it anymore and it looks very, very lovely. Last detail, final one, I will go and grab mercury brush. Grab dark red color. And I want to show separate, merge it together, rectangle. So you remember, we need to show pretty straight lines and press Copy and Paste. I will remove this part, place it to the center. I excited, and adeno is VO1 more cupcake and allow us move to another part.
5. Painting 3rd cupcake : Well now it's time dependent nasa cupcake and I decided to grab a new kick one. And as for me, this is so loudly to slow versus size a little bit. Guys, if you want, you also can use played legs. The swan increases size. Is it's almost perfectly place it like this. And after said, you can erase this part. Left is a paint your cupcake. Like said. And after grab bookended and guys in this cupcake, I'm going to paint the top of it as a unicorn. It should be very loudly. So same. I decided to move to turn this part into let me think. Yeah, this is dark purple color, light brown color. Create one more new layer. And here we're going to paint unicorn. So I just tried to combine differentiates all together. I think it's enough. So after that, create one more layer for our played. But he seemed and forget about background. I'm going to call it grabs his pink color. Okay, Should the predicate. So after that you remember our next step. We need to get rid of transparency. Complicated. Lovely, martyr together duplicate, lower layer hue, saturation and brightness. Turned your brand missing, took maximum, duplicate, merge together. Same is a plate. We KD, lower layer adjustments, hue saturation, brightness. Turning to maximum, merge together. And it had merged together. Now we are ready to blend all our part. And you remember the press Select, Grab, blending tool, increase the size here. Page is planned main parts. I have to say those same ways our plate, Select and Move. So last part, press Select. So my next step is I want to add some patterns to the background.
