Draw Anything - 5 Exercises To Beat The Blank Page

1. Introduction: Do you know that feeling when you crave creating and have that internal calling? But you open up your sketchbook or your iPad and you are like, Now what? This is what we are beating today in this class. Hi, I'm Alexandra, A KAD artmer. I'm an artist, illustrator, online educator, and a forever beginner. This means that I return to this feeling and this moment frequently, mainly when I fall off of my creative practice. So I know that I can paint, I can draw. I have the skills, but I still have that fear of the blank page. But over the years, I created some starters that get me going every time. And this is what I'm going to share with you today. So we are going to go through five simple exercises that will spark your creativity. You know, it will turn on your creative brain, your imagination, your muscle memory, and well, you know, just get you into that mood filled with motivation and confidence. We will scribble and make invisible things seem. We will play with having constraints. We will flex our shading skills. We will use time as our guide, and we are going to play with some random prompt mashup. It will be super fun, I promise. All these exercises will teach you something different. But mainly we'll bring more awareness to your box and to what actually sparks your creativity. And we will go one step further. We are going to grab one little sketch and turn it into a full illustration. This class is really for anyone because you can follow it using a sketchbook or paper and pencil or with any software where you can draw and most importantly, procreate. By the end of this class, you will be packed with ideas, tiny sketches, and the skill to beat that blank page. I hope this sounds exciting for you. If, yes, grab your tools, and let's get started. 2. About The Class: Oh, you're here. I'm so happy that you joined me. In this video, I'm going to talk to you about the class structure, the class project, and the class resources. So the class can be done traditionally, okay? So on a paper with pencil. And you don't need anything special, okay? Printing paper is just enough and whatever pencil you have at home. This is why I say that this class is really for everyone. You can follow the class on your iPad, as well. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to use my iPad and Procreate to do the exercises. And you are totally free to jump between the two. So do one exercise on paper and do the other in Procreate, whatever feels right for you. I love to jump between the two because traditional feels sometimes more relaxing and sometimes we just need time off the screen. So the class has two main parts. The first one is the main part is the core of the class where we are going to do the five exercises to spark your creativity, or imagination. And you know to be that moment that you have when you open the sketchbook and you are the blank page and you I don't know what to draw. I just want to draw, right? So this is our point to get through that moment because usually it can be so disappointing that we just, you know, close this sketchbook, turn off the iPad, and just do something that we are sure of that will give us the feeling of success. But these starter exercises will get you going, will help you to put those first lines on paper and turn on the switch and get you into flow state and, you know, just do something creative and satisfy that craving of creation. Second part of the class is mostly for those who are in Procreate, but you are totally free to watch that part as well. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to grab one of my little drawings that turn out during the process and turn it into a full illustration. It will not be complex. It will be simple, cute, and magical, and I will just grab you know those creative ideas that turn up for me during the whole process. And put them basically together. So I'm going to work in Procreate, but you are free to complete an illustration on your own in your media, traditionally, with markers, watercolors or whatever. The class resources are mostly for those who are following me in the second part for illustrating in Procreate. So there will be my usual brushset, color palette, and my sketch and my original file for reference. So this is for very beginners. So if nothing turns out well for you during the process, it can happen, okay? You can just get my sketch, and you can just use the step by step video guidance to complete the illustration. But I really encourage you to put something from yourself into that. So use your own colors, change something on the base sketch, and yeah, enjoy your artistic freedom. Our class project is basically to enjoy the process. But what you are going to upload into the class project section is your sketches, and you can just choose those that turned out well for you or you can include everything, or that would be the best if you would also include the artwork that you create at the end, if it turns out for you. But that's just optional, okay? Our point here is to enjoy the process, to learn these starters, to get going and to spur the creativity so that you are, you know, set up for beating that moment of freezing in front of the blank page. All these five exercises are designed to teach you something new and to enjoy your freedom with the help of rules because rules are there to break them. That's one, but also to guide us, okay, and not restrict us. I will be talking about this a lot during the process. So in the first lesson, we are going to do some scribbles and make invisible things seem. In the second one, we are going to have limits or constraints and enjoy our freedom within it, and then we are going to relax our imagination and just use our skills to relax our nervous system and our brain, which is very important. Satisfies basically sometimes this craving to create, then we are going to have time limits to create, and that can help us to look at the big picture and not focus on details that much. And lastly, we will play with prompts and create something unexpected and unique, and that will, you know, spark our brain to solve problems because sometimes our logical brain just interrupts our creative process and we can use it into our advantage. So I'm so excited. I hope that you are, too. So let's just get started and see you in the first video. 3. The Scribble: Alright, so welcome to the first lesson. Our goal in this class is to beat that blank page. So what we are going to do is to create a completely empty canvas. You don't need anything else. So click the Plus button and open a screen sized canvas. If you decide to follow me, traditionally, just grab your sketchbook and your pencil and you can totally follow along. So in the first exercise, you are going to scribble If you have been with me for a while, you might have done this exercise before. Um, so what the point of scribble is that, you know, in the moment when we are in front of a blank page and we don't really know what we want to do, we just need to turn on that creativity, okay, to push through that fear. So we are going to create blobs of lines and use our creativity to see something in them. When you are scribbling, it is really good to give yourself a limit because you can overdo it. You can totally overdo it, okay? So we are going to count to five and just let our hands do its job. And I don't really want you to look at the page. You don't need to go for blind drawing, but the point is that you are not intentionally creating the lines. Okay? So you are not having something in your mind to draw something. You are just drawing, okay? So let's just do that. So let's count to five, choose black color, and from the Brush Library choose the six B pencil from the sketching brushset that comes with Procreate. Of course, you are totally free to use whatever your favorite brush is, okay? It should be a pencil brush. That's the only limit, I think. So let's do this. One, two, three, four, five. Second one. One, two, three, four, five. We are going to go for three. Again, one, two, three, four, five. Okay, so let me just show you how would this look like for those who are following me with, you know, traditional media. So I have a sketchbook here, and I'm just getting whatever pencil. It doesn't necessarily has to be very, you know, soft. I love to do lines with freebie. So freebie pencils. So one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five. So I have my free blobs here. And what our mind can do, it is really fun and it is so freeing it is looking for familiar things. Now, if I say to you different things, like, see something in this one, see another thing in this one, you can find it, okay? So in this first exercise, we are going to see different things to different blobs, but you can do this with character design. So if you are looking for, you know, specific things for a frog, in this and this and this, you will see different frogs in these blobs, okay? So let's do in the first one, let's go for a house. In the second one, let's go for an animal, let it be a bird. And for the third one, let it be a plant, whatever plant. So I'm going to lower the opacity and create another layer on top. You're going to, you know, draw over these blobs and let them guide us. Now, if you are traditionally here, for enhancing the lines, you can just use a micro pen or any sharpie, you can use an acrylic marker. So or even a darker softer pencil. This is 13 B. This is the softest pencil I've ever seen. I'm just saying that pencil like this exists, but I usually use eight B. If you are working with the lines, you can just enhance them like this. What I also wanted to say is that you can add lines. You don't need to use only these lines, okay? So a house I can see a house here. Okay. So I can I can see a house here. I can add this. I can see mushroom. So this is going to be the lower part. And can you see this hat? So let's just add it. This is going to be a mushroom house with a hat. Okay. I can go like this and like this, I can work with this line better like this, maybe. Okay. It looks cute. Alright. And this shape can be a window. So maybe I will add a circle in the middle that is going to be a window, and I can add a little door. I can add the smaller window here. I can add, you know, these circles up here. And my creativity immediately kicked in, okay? So I can add these lines here, and I can develop this idea further, and I can add the chimney, probably. And I have my house, and I can create an illustration from this, and I already have a rough sketch, and I have spent on it like 2 minutes. So cool. Let's go for a bird. Okay. This looks like a head. I can actually see a Buddha in this blob. But let's go for bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, a bird. Okay, I have a curve here that I can add as a head. This is the neck, okay? Um, I need to erase this one. This can be the body shape of the bird. Okay. Here I have the beak, here I have the wing, and this can be water around. And I don't know. This can be the sun. So cool. It looks really nice. And, you know, in this exercise, it is really cool that you don't need to do something beautiful. These are just concepts, okay? Ugly drawing is still good because it just pushes you, okay? So the next one is a plant. I'm looking for this thing, you know, a pot. Probably. Um it can be here and like this. And this can be a little tree, maybe like this, and these stings are coming off of it. And I will add little leaves. And you don't need to use all the lines. And again, you don't need to follow. This is really just to guide you and turn that fear off and read the blank page. Okay. And this can be a really nice plant. Okay, so I already have three concepts, how great it looks like, right? If I would choose a concept to develop to an illustration, it would be definitely this house. It looks so cute. I just love it. Okay, so this was our scribble exercise where you learned that you can look for familiar things in random things, and it will just help you to, you know, push through. All right, so see you in the next video where we are going to do something called constraint drawing. See you there. 4. Constraint Drawing: All right, so in this second exercise, we are going to beat the blank page again with the method called constraint drawing. Let's create another screen size canvas. Now, with a constraint drawing, we are giving ourselves limits, okay? So in the first challenge, we are going to go for ten Lines. No more, okay? And no curved lines, no circles, no triangles and stuff. You will have just ten lines to do something, whatever. And if I say, Go, you have just ten lines. What would you do? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And I will just complete it. And yeah, this is where our comfort zones usually come out and we are drawing familiar things, and it is totally okay because, um, to go out of your comfort zone, you need to at first be in your comfort zone. So it looks cool. It's a really nice house. You can just, again, I don't know what I have with houses today. But you can just add again, a chimney and develop it further. But let's just go to the next constraint. And now we are not going to go for constraint in quantity, but we are going to go for a shape, plus a subject. Let's just choose circles plus a tree. So you are not allowed to draw anything else that circles. You cannot outline the tree, only work with circles, smaller ones, bigger ones. So let's just go with the trunk and I am going to just fill up the spaces that I would usually draw with circles, smaller ones. It is okay if you just leave out some spaces and let's just go for branches. Okay. There's going to be a bigger one. This is so much fun. And I will throw a bigger branch here with some Oh, it looks cool. Okay. And I can add some bigger, you know, circles here and there to add that part of the tree. Okay, I think it looks so cool. It is something new I haven't done before, and I would totally do an illustration from this one. I think it looks super cool. Okay. So the third thing is going to be on you. You need to create constraints for yourself, so limits. Okay? So maybe you choose, like you can do Here's going to be okay. We'll write your own. So you can do I don't know. Seven triangles. Just seven triangles with no subject, or you can do, I don't know a car, so there's a subject, plus I don't know, um squares. Et cetera, you don't need to do these ones. I want you to come up for yourself with one and create a little sketch and include it in your class project so that you practice it. Okay? It is little challenges for yourself and you will see that when you start doing this, you will come up with all different kinds of constraints for yourself, and it will be totally fun. All right. So in the next lesson, we are going to have some shading fun. See you there. 5. Shading Fun: Okay, so there are times when you don't really know what you want to draw. And yes, you have this calling to create, but maybe you are burnt out, maybe nothing is in your head, you know, and uh still, you want to create you want to flex your skills, and what you can do as an artist, draw lines and shade, let's just create a new screen size canvas and we are going to do an alternative version of the first one. We are going to create one scribble and we are going to shade it. So let's do a more complex scribble. Let it be for 7 seconds. Let's just count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Cool. Now let me do a little reminder on how we are shading. When we have a round object, we are shading alongside the shape and we are doing gradation. Going from darker to lighter. This is a time when you can practice your shading skills, but you don't need to be very strict with it. When we are shading objects with edges, where there are straight lines, we are going from one side to the other creating a smooth gradation. And what we are going to do is that we are going to go through this whole random shape and simply shade it. And it is going to be meditative, okay? So it is just, you know, relaxing your brain and it just simply fulfills your need for creating, flexing your skills and, you know, practicing. So I'm just going to Oops. I'm just going to go on the edges darker, and I always just go lighter to the middle. If you put a lot of effort in this one, you can do totally cool frei random objects. And it's so fun. So like this, what should I do with this one? Let's shade it, too? Like this. And don't worry about the crossing lines and stuff. You know, this is also a time to practice your creative ownership, like you can do what you want, because this is your drawing, right? And that's so cool. And, um, What I love about this exercise is that it really is just, you know, relaxing my mind. Probably in 1 minute, you will hear me in the flow stage just saying random stuff that I'm already doing. It's so fun. Okay. Oh, it looks interesting. It looks like a sausage. Yeah, and sometimes very fun things turn out from an exercise like this. And Okay. And, um, at this part, I will probably go like days. This exercise is more satisfying, I think, with traditional media. So with a pencil, I really love practicing, you know, this pushing thing and drawing in angles. It looks really weird. I don't know what it looks like. At first, I've seen a sausage, but maybe now I see a medusa, but let me show you what I've done. This one looks like a guy that is running, right? He's head, hands, legs, and maybe the path that he's running from. So yeah, Okay, so the shading fun is really fun with real pencils. So I'm just going to create a blob, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And when shading, you know, you til your pencil and just work your way through these shapes just as you would, you know, procreate. And even if you are working in procreate with me, you know, you can just go and grab a pencil and just get off the screen a bit. I love this exercise. It is really fun. Looks cool, right? I hope that you enjoy it. Now, see you in the next exercise where we are going to go with different limits, okay. See you there. 6. One Minute + Shape: In this fourth exercise, we are going to beat the plank page with a time limit. So I'll just create another screen size canvas, and I will leave my phone for a timer. So I'm going to set a timer for 1 minute. Now, what we are going to do is we are going to choose a shape, okay? Just one shape, and then we will have 1 minute to just go with it. So this time limit will give us urgency. Uh, you know, to do something and finish something. So this helps you to focus out of the details and focus on the big picture. So sometimes 1 minute is even a lot, and you will go to very, very little details. I love to play this with my daughter. This is a great exercise to at first, like, bond, okay? And we, you know, draw for 1 minute, and then we just switch papers, and we are drawing at each other's papers. And it is just so fun. So let me just, you know, start the 1 minute. I don't know. Okay. Start, and my shape is going to be an ellipse, okay? I start and I'm just drawing an ellipse. And I I have my comfort objects for this shape. I often draw ks, but it doesn't matter. Now we are not creating masterpieces. We are, you know, beating the blank page. So it can also, you know, spark that creativity, and turn on your imagination. And I already see a spiral here. I will add little stars. I don't know why. And you can do whatever, you know, when, um, you are drawing like this. So it is similar to constraint drawing, but now we are working with time. Okay, free to one, and I'm done. Okay. So this is my 1 minute sketch. Let's do another one. And now let's do a triangle. I haven't worked with a triangle in this class yet. So let's just set the timer start. I have a triangle. Can you hear the urgency in my voice? Um, I don't know what I have a stars now. Okay, this is going to be a gnome for whatever reason. Okay. Oh. I got a Mustache. Maybe it doesn't need. Okay, I cannot erase. You cannot erase in this exercise, okay? So don't waste your time on it. This looks really weird. Whatever. Whatever. Okay, I will add these things here, and I'll continue this spiral. I love this spiral. Can you see that? I just invented a decorative element for my illustration. And 1 minute is over, how quickly that goes, right? I will just put it in a side, and let's do a third one. And can you see that these are oriented like this, but whatever. Let's do a square. So let's start, and I'm doing a square, and I hope not to do a house now. Okay. What is immediately a computer. Okay. I haven't run. This is an old school computer. I remember I played a lot of sims when I was a kid and heroes of Might and magic. I still remember a cheat coat for black dragons. Oh, childhood. I just love these things. Blah, Blah, boba, bam. Maybe. Well, uh, and I don't know. There will be houses there. I cannot get rid of this house thing. Okay, and let's add that spiral here as well. Okay, this is a magical computer, a magical glom and a magical, you know, mug. Coffee. Yeah. Alright, so I have three little beautiful sketches done in a minute. And I can, you know, I already invented this spiral thing that I don't know where it came from. If I would choose a concept to develop, it would be maybe a computer. It looks cute, you know? Maybe I would work on this canal because it just turned out like a weird face, and I love the smug. I really love the smug. So giving yourself time limits and, you know, shape limits and, you know, the point is that freedom, it doesn't come from being able to do everything. It comes from play and curiosity. But, you know, this too much freedom can can block you, paralyze you. And even if you add just a little bit of, you know, limit or a rule, it can expand your creativity. And, you know, rules can limit you, but you can use limits or these rules, you know, for expansion and use as guidance and not as, you know, a box that you put yourself into. This is a perspective change, and I hope that these exercises help you. So let's just see you in the last one where we are going to, uh just do some random things again. See you in the next video. 7. Random Prompt Mashup: Alright, welcome to the last exercise when we are going to create another screen sized canvas. Now, this exercise I call random prompt mashup, where, you know, we are not starting with drawing, but with building up concepts. I really love creating mindmaps mainly before I, you know, do some character design and things like that. So a creative process doesn't necessarily have to start with drawing. Can start with sketches, I can start with all the things we've done. But sometimes it starts with words and ideas. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to create one, two, three, four, five, and one, two, three, four, five, into each column, I'm going to write two different things. Into the first column, there are going to be small things, and in the second one, there are going to be big things. Let's start with small, there can be a duck and a big thing can be a sitti a small thing can be a gnome. Let's work with that one. Oh, okay. Gnome. And the big thing can be the sun. Sun. A small thing can be um a snail and a big thing can be, I don't know, a forest. And then a small thing can be a mug and a big thing can be a rainbow. Let's think about the small thing. Small thing can be a flower. A big thing can be a mountain. We are going to connect this. Let's start with this and let's connect with this. We have a duck plus a mountain. We have a gnome and the rainbow. Oh my God, this is so random. These two gnome plus a rainbow. Snail and the forest. We have a mug plus the sun and the 50 is going to be a flower and the city. I will make this smaller and put it aside. Now I don't want you to work on every concept. Choose one concept, and what I love is the snail and the forest. The point is that we will exchange these two things in size. Okay? So these bigger things are going to be small and these small things are going to be big. So for example, with the snail and the forest, the snail is going to be the big one and the forest is going to be small one, okay? The mug and the sun, the mug is going to be the big one. Sun is going to be maybe the decoration or it is going to be within the mug or in the gnome and the rainbow, and there is going to be a gnome, and it will have a rainbow, for example, in his heads, a duck and a mountain. So maybe there is going to be a small mountain with a giant duck on it. Or, you know, a flower that is bigger than the city. So with this random prompt mashup, the point is to go abstract. So choose one adjective and another one and, you know, list these things and then exchange the qualities. So you can play with that. So let's just work with the snail and the forest. So I'm just going to, you know, create a little bit of a sketch. So here is going to be one eye of my little snail, the other eye Yeah, I will add eyelashes. We always need eyelashes. Okay. And Oops. Oops. Okay, here is here is its house. Okay, like this. And maybe the forest will be here. It's going to be not the most beautiful forest I've ever done, but the point is to create abstractions and spark again solutions, the logical brain of yours. Because sometimes, um, you know, creativity sounds like something superficial or magical or something, and we are we cannot pretend we are not logical beings, you know, and our brain has to solve problems, and creativity can flourish in problem solving. And it is just really a great way to, you know, spark that part of your brain, and maybe there can be a little path, and maybe I can add a little tree here and there too and Okay, well, uh, here is my snail with the forest. And is not perfect. I could spend a little bit more time on working on this concept, but I am sure that I've bitten the blank page today. I hope that you did, too, so in the next video where we are going to talk about your class project. 8. The Class Project: So your class project is to either collect your sketches into one canvas, put them together, and, you know, you can present them, or you can choose one concept and create an illustration from it. It can be whatever. What I'm choosing is this little house. I really love it. So I'm going to create an illustration from it. You can follow me to do that, and you can follow me step by step, if you wish, just for practice. And it's going to be a very simple little illustration. But you are totally free to choose whichever concept that you developed. I really loved this, you know, circle tree. It looks really cool. Yeah, so you can have a final piece to present your artwork. You don't necessarily have to if you have a limiting time, but I really recommend you to do a class project to give the class a full circle. Yeah. All right, so see you in the next video where I'm going to illustrate this little mushroom. 9. The Linework: Alright, so let's just have some fun with this little mushroom house. Where is it? So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to go to the layer of it. If you have followed me with traditional media, you can just redraw a nicer linework of your little sketch and color it in whatever way with markers, war colors, you are free to do so. I'm going to cut this cut and paste, and now create a screen sized canvas, go back to that little thing, hold down its layer. Open the new one and just drop it there. I will make it bigger. Actually, I really love how it is. I don't think I need to do too many things. I will clean up the linework a little bit, so I will lower its opacity, create a new layer, and just spend some time refining it. Okay, so I don't really like how this looks like. I think I will turn this a bit around and make it more, you know, saddled like this. And yeah. And maybe I will add to the hat a bit somehow, you know, um, better shape, probably. Okay, cool. Two. 10. The Illustration: All right, so now we have our clean linework. What I'm going to do is to lower the opacity of the sketch and create another layer below. And I have prepared a little color palette here that you can use. At first, I will just set my background color to a bit darker so I can see what I'm doing. And I will use my clean shaper brush and choose this lighter color for the base. Okay? So what I'm going to do is to fill in the shape. When you are color dropping with this brush, you need to sometimes just check if every pixel is, you know, filled in. And I will lower the opacity a bit more and kind of adjust places where it is just not even. Okay. And on top, I will create another layer and choose the base color, this darker purple to fill in this shape. I will create another layer now below. I think both and at this shape. And for that, I'm going to choose this lighter pink. Um, and now let's do some shading. Oh, okay, I forgot the chimney, so I will just choose this darkest color and at the chimney. We Cool. I will alpha log all three layers and go to this one. I will choose a darker brown or this beach color and choose the shader brush. I will just add a little bit of shading and texture to the whole. I'm going to push my brush at this part a bit more, also at the bottom, at the edges, basically of the shape and then just slightly go over it. This will create a really nice texture. Can you see that color variation? I will choose an even darker one of this brown and just very lightly add the shadows up here. And probably to this down part, just as we did, you know, with the shading foam blobs. This is kind of another shape. And basically, that in that exercise, you can exercise, shading, you know, random blobs. Okay. Looks cool. I will adjust this part a bit. Okay. And I will choose the darkest brown and just at this upper part, I will add an extra layer of shadow, maybe to the bottom as well. Cool. Now, let's add the door. I will create another layer. Keep this dark brown, choose the clean shaper and add the door. And if you are having trouble by extending the base shape, you can just add it as a clipping mask and it will just clip to the shape of the mushroom. And I don't really like the shape, so I will just adjust it. Oh, and I will add the windows as well. I'll just create a circle, hold down, and add this menu, just edit it and make it a circle. It is not going to be even. So I will just even it out a bit. And add these middle things kind of to the middle. Okay, I will create a big circle, hold down, and make it a circle, and now this can guide me to make a nicer frame. Well. Oh. Nice. Okay. I don't like this one. I will rotate it a bit. Okay, it doesn't need to be perfect. I will alpha lock this layer, and I don't have the color here, but I will just add it. It is a lighter orange brown. I will choose my shader and just go through these little frames to add a bit of a texture. Okay. Now I'm going to choose a sketching pencil and choose an even lighter color that I'm going to just add there, and I will create a scribbly wooden effect. I'm just going to go through these little elements and add a bit of texture, basically. Cool. I can add this handle here. Nicely. And I will go through these little elements as well to add some nice things. Okay. Choose a very light blue. I will just add it here and this clean shaper. Let's create a layer below this frame and add the window. But I'm not sure if I like this blue, let's just go to adjustment to saturation brightness and go through the colors. I think a darker color for these windows look good. It can be pinkish. I love how that looks like, but I will go for the orange one. Orange one. Yeah. It kind of fits the white a bit more. I don't like the door either now. I'm just three pleasing things. Okay, so I will just select this door and push it a bit more like this. Okay, let's go to the hat. So I have it off locked. I will choose this darker, um purple. Choose the shader and just shade around that hat a bit at dimension. I will go with the even lighter one at the top. To add some light. But maybe less. So like this and maybe here a bit. Maybe at the edge. Yeah. This looks good like this. And at this part, I will choose that layer, choose this darker purple, and I will add shading there. So I will just go outward and go darker at the middle. And maybe I will go to this very light one and even a bit lighter. And at the edges, I will add a bit of a light here. Super cool. I will create another layer on top and choose the sketching pencil and add these little lines here. And I can go to the blending mode and see if there is another version that fits there a bit more. Oh, I love this overlay. Okay, let's stay with the overlay. The soft light looks great as well. Okay, soft light. I will keep it at soft light, and I will create another layer, keep this light pink, get the clean shaper or the texture shaper. Let's go for the texture shaper and just add these dots. Cool. And I will do the same. I will go to the blending modes and see if there's one that, you know, fits it a bit more. I think the soft light u works here as well. Soft light. Cool. Let's go to the chimney and I will just probably shade it a bit. I will or lighten it a bit, Lighten. I will go for the slighter pink, the shader brush. It is alpha logged and I will just lighten it a bit. Maybe I can create another layer. And with the sketching pencil, just add, you know, some bricks. There. Really cool. Now, I'm missing something from the windows. So I will just create another layer over the, you know, this back color at the top layer. I will with this dark purple, I will add some curtains. What if I place it behind the window? Let's see. Okay. Uh Oh, it's fine. I made this layer multiply. I will pick up this color and I will need to add some pixels there. I can add some shadows as well about the plant to fill it in a bit more, and I will do the same at this curtain layer. I will just add curtains here as well. Really cute. Alright. It looks great. I can decorate it, and I can add some linework, as well. But what I miss is drop shadow. So I will create another layer below it all, hose black and my drop shadow brush, and I will add a bit of a drop shadow here and gosh and blurred. Like that. And I want some plants in the front so I can create another layer on top. I really love this orange color. So I think oops I will choose my texture shaper and add some plants here and there. Mainly at the bottom. As if it was over the grass. It looks really cool. On top, I think I need some linework. I will actually turn off the sketch and create another layer, choose this dark purple and the sketching pencil and I will just enhance some parts of this top part so that it is more sketching probably. I need some linework at the top. It looks really fun. I love it. And I think it looks beautiful. But it is not finished yet. I will create another layer, choose this very light color and sketching pencil, and I can do some, you know, little decorative, like dots here and there on the body of the mushroom. So nice. And onto the window, I will create another layer and choose the top shadow brush, make it smaller, and I can add a little bit of, you know, light on the glass. Cute. And I'm missing something from the top. So let's go for luminance. I'm looking for the luminous brush, and I have the light pen, and I can, I guess, on a top layer, just add some mushroom lo here and there. And I just want to try something. You remember that at that drawing, where I did this spiral. Maybe it could look good. Let's just try. I will create another layer, choose my sketching pencil, and do this around that little house, and it comes from the chimney. And I'm going to just add little stars. Isn't it an overkill? Maybe I will turn up that luminous. No, I love those. What if I'm just experimenting. I turned up those long luminous things. I'm creating this magical glow around the top. This is where I'm going to add this Yeah. I love it. I love how it turned out. Can you see that? It is beautiful. One thing I want to try is that I'm not sure. I love the top. Okay? So I think I will just experiment a little bit with this hue saturation brightness thing. I will change. So what if I change the top color of this little mushroom? What was the original color? Okay, it was this purple. Maybe more reddish one. I love this blue, turquoise blue color. It fits this orange a bit more. I love also this reddish color. So you can just change the top, okay? I will keep it, as it was as though I don't want to, you know, overdo it. Maybe I would also make it a bit bigger. Because I feel there is a bit of an empty space here. But this was made from a scribble. So I'm pretty pretty, you know, satisfied how it turned out. So I will just keep it this way. But you have so many possibilities, and I really love how it turned out. I hope that you love it, too. And yeah, see you in the next video where we are going to sum it all up. 11. Final Thoughts: Congratulations. You did it. You are at the final video, that means that you went through the whole process, and I'm so proud of you. And I believe you can be proud of yourself, too. So let's just see what we've done in this class. So in this class, we've gone through five different exercises to beat a blank page, to spark your creativity and imagination. We scribbled and made invisible things stem. We were enjoying our freedom in limits in constraints. We flexed our shading skills. And created something beautiful from something pretty random. We used time as our guide to look at the big picture, and we played with random prompt mash up, and we experimented with exchanging the qualities to create something new and unique. I hope that you enjoy the class. It would be so cool if you would leave me a review so that I know what you think about the class and for others to see if it is a great fit for them. Follow me on Skillshare and on my social media to stay updated. And I hope to see you in my other classes, too. It was a pleasure to have you here. See you next time. Oh
