About This Class

Procreate reignited my love for drawing! What I love most about it is even developing artist who have never picked up  an Apple pencil before can create beautiful works with just a few tips and tricks. My name is Travis A. Thompson, I’m a former Art teacher but now I’m a full-time illustrator

In this class, I’m going to share some simple techniques I used to draw a cute Easter Bunny. We’ll take everything step by step from defining the shape of our character to shading and adding highlights to give it life! The great thing about this lesson is it is applicable to all cartoon characters. These skills can be used in Procreate no matter what your subject or skill level is.

Transcripts

1. Introduction: My name is Travis a. Thompson. I'm an illustrator and former teacher. I'm so glad that you've joined me today for my first digital drawing course. Today we're gonna be learning how to draw the Easter Bunny using the iOS app, Procreate using your iPad and your Apple pencil, or maybe just a sheet of paper. It won't be exactly the same, but I think you can still get the hang of it. Let's get started. 2. Procreate Basics: Alright, so I wanted to start you off by actually getting a look at the bunny. Don't gotta be drawing today we're gonna be drawn the Easter Bunny and gonna be something very simple, very easy, and very quick. I think, I think this would be a nice Beginners lesson to kinda understand my process for how I use Procreate. Like I said before, more than likely these just gonna be called. This is how I do. It, may not be the easiest way, the best way, but this is how I do it and I always, I'm able to achieve the results that I want. So this is the bunny that we're going to draw today. I'm gonna be using my iPad Pro Course 12.9, second-generation Apple pencil, which I absolutely love. Alright, so we're gonna go back to my gallery. We're going to start a new canvas. When you look and open up Procreate, you can see all your different stacks. I'm an illustrator. I do different books, I do stuff for myself, and these are different things that I'm working on. But we're going to start up with a brand new canvas. So we're going to tap the plus sign in the top right corner, and we're going to choose the small black box right there. This is going to allow us to create a canvas that is exactly the size that we want it to be, not a predetermined size, if you will. All right. I'd like to draw my pictures usually in like a ten inch by ten inch canvas with a higher than 300 DPI because I just liked the opportunity to be able to scale it up or scale it noun. It's not a vector, but I feel like that's a good place to do your sketches it. So we're going to make sure that we choose inches down here at the bottom. We're going to make our width and a height, both 10 " 1010. My DPI is currently 400, DPI is dots per inch. So if you were to look at the screen, you have 400 dots for every inch that you have. They're not really dusted like little tiny squares, but pixels, whatever. Alright. Note, I'm an illustrator of children's books. A quick thing you can always do if you're illustrating for print, meaning it's going to be printed out with some kind of printer. You want to change the color profile. Over here on the left-hand side, we were in dimensions just now. But if you go down the color profile, you can change the color profile being used. Currently, we're sketching on an iPad and we're going to use this for a tablet or a phone or something like that. So we will leave it at RGB, which is red, green, and blue. Because when you think about how light is created in colors are created on a device, it's using red, green, and blue light. When you mix red, green and blue light together, you get white. However, if you're creating something that's going to be printed out, you do not need to sketch it and draw it in RGB. I learned the hard way that the colors do not transfer poles very well. You want to choose CMYK if this is something that you know, you're going to print out what those do. And I Easter Bunny, if you think this is gonna be something you've got to have printed out in a book of some sort and go ahead and choose CMYK that cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Because when you're thinking about inc, Those are the five colors of ink that are used in most printers. So you will want to use CMYK. I'm not going to be printed out or anything. So I'm going to leave mine at RGB with the display a P3. Again, height and width, both 10 ", we're doing 400 DPI is gonna give us a maximum layers of 37. We're just gonna be a great number of layers to be able to utilize when not going to use all of them. But we're probably going to use moles and we got to go into Cree, hit Create. 3. Procreate Tips: The great thing about this lesson is you can pause it, rewind and fast-forward, muted if you only want to hear what I'm saying. But that'll be the good thing. This is my first lesson that I'm ever doing. I'm so excited to be able to test out the waters of teaching online. I've been a teacher in schools for so long, but now we're doing this, doing it this way. A couple of things in a way that I use my Procreate app. Today, I'm gonna do my best to only use brushes that are standard with procreate. There are so many brushes that are out there for you to use. Just gotta go out there and find them some you can pay for. Some are free, but I'm going to use what comes standard on the app. Okay? The first pencil, the first brush that I'm going to start off with, there's gonna be a six B pencil. In this section right here you have your different categories, categories of your brushes. So we're going to get ours from the sketching category, and we're going to choose the six B pencil. Like I said, I have so many extra one. So you may see mine and have different sections and things that you may not see on yours. It's because I've been downloading free stuff because I'm not about to pay for it. Alright, so again, we're gonna use a sketching pencil. We're using six B. Then I'm going to tap the brush tool again to get rid of it. Over here, determines the size brush that we're going to use. This first ladder is how big the brush is going to be. I'm going to use my six B pencil at 100%. And then this determines the opacity. And I'm going to use this at 100%. When I do my sketches, I like to sketch in a color. I don't really like sketch it in black and white because I think is boring. So I'm just going to choose, I'm going to leave it at this teal color that I have. Nobody's going to see. This is going to get turned off when we get to the end of drawn-out Easter Bunny, but yeah, pick whatever color you want to use. We're going to change it. 4. Sketching: Alright, first thing we're gonna do is we're going to draw an oval for our Easter bunnies head. So I'm used to being able to turn my tablet. So this is still a learning curve for me of being able to only draw with the app here sitting in one place. And I'm trying to make sure I don't shake the table too much because I realized in my last video my camera was shaking a lot, but I'm going to start off with an oval. I like to do a whole bunch of lines. This now I taught my students. I draw a whole bunch of lines and then I can erase away what I don't need. If you were drawing this on a real piece of paper, I what I would tell you draw lightly. You're all really lightly. Draw really lightly that way you can easily erase anything you messed up. Alright, so boom, there's the head of our Easter Bunny. Yours could have been a circle, could have been an oval. It's up to you. One way to make an oval really simple, simply rather I should say, is to draw an oval. Go back to my pencil is to draw an oval and hold the pencil down on the tablet. Watch this. I draw it, hold it, boom. And it will create a perfect oval. I'm not trying to go for perfection right now. I like mine and look a little, little rough. And you may have noticed just now, I tap the screen, that's one of the gestures you'll always see me use it is if you tap the screen with two fingers or my nails are dirty but oh well, who cares? If you tap the screen with two fingers, it will erase the last thing you did. If you tap the screen with three fingers, it will redo. You just undo it. So just keep that in mind. I'm going to use it a whole lot. I'm going to try to show you some different tips and tricks that I use in my drawing process. So we're going to add on the ears. I'm just gonna put a line right here. And I'm gonna put a line right here, but we're gonna kinda cheat this time. We're not going to draw both ears just to make life a little bit simple, but we at least have where we're going to put both ears at. As always, you can do this your own way. You can do exactly the same thing that I'm doing. So I'm gonna start with this air on this side, gonna kinda draw two diagonals that come out of the hair just like that and make it a little bit longer. And then I'm going to draw like a stretched out oval-shaped here because I want the ear to be folded over a little bit. There we go, right there. All right, so we have our two lines and we have our oval. Now, instead of drawing this exact same ear again over here, we're just going to copy and paste it. That's the easiest way. Most cartoons are kind of symmetrical for the most part. So this makes things a whole lot easier. In my opinion. The way we're going to copy and paste it is up here in the top left corner. We have our gallery. If we tap that, it's going to take us back to what you saw on my pitches at the wrench is all different actions. We'll use those in a little bit. Adjustments. This is the lasso and this is the selection tool. You see when you're on the Selection tool, you can move your drawing around on your screen wherever you want it to be. We're gonna go to the lasso tool. So you're going to tap on the Lasso tool. You want to make sure free hand is chosen down here at the bottom. And that is still says Add. And I'm going to zoom into my ear and I'm going to draw, you see, when you start joining, you get this dashed line, dashed line, dotted line have you want to call it. And we're going to draw it right around the ear. Watch me right around the ear. And I'm going to end where I started. So I started at the little gray dot and I'm going to end up the Great died. And the cool thing is with the lasso. It's the same thing like with the pencil. If you mess up and you kinda drew it in a place you don't want it at. You just tap with two fingers and it goes back or you tap with three fingers and it comes back. After we've drawn it. We're gonna come over here to this icon right here. This is gonna be our layers. And we're going to tap on this right now. Everybody should be on layer one because we haven't named any of our layers or anything like that. Layer one is gonna be highlighted. I'm going to tap layer one. I'm going to choose, not that. I'm going to tap layer one, I'm going to choose Copy. Now copied it. Then I'm gonna come over here to the wrench for the actions. I'm gonna go to add. I'm going to come all the way down. I'm going to tap Paste. And now you see I have two ears on my canvas. So instead of me having to draw that one, I just pasted it. But the thing is, the IRR is not based in the correct direction. Here's your cheat sheet down here, because what you do, you just flip it horizontally. If you flip it vertically up and down, horizontally side-to-side. So we want to make sure that it's flipped horizontally once. And then I can use the green dot right here. I don't know the name of much anything on his app. I just call it what I call it the green dot. We take the green dot and we rotate the ear where we want it to be. So I'm going to kind of get it lined up towards that line was originally I'm going to place it right there. Once your object is placed where you want it to be, you can reach tap the selection tool. And now simplest good thing is if you happen to see it wasn't where you want it to be, you can just read, tap the selection tool, and move it back to where you wanted it to go. Now, I want all of my stuff to be on the same layer. The image that we pasted in which would that right ear is under inserted image. But on what all of this to be on the same layer. So I'm going to tap on inserted image and I'm going to choose merge down. And now my bunny's head is on the same layer. Alright, now we have the bunny's head. Now let's move on to his body. You're not going to see the majority of the Easter bunnies body. So we're just going to draw an oval just as a placeholder so we know exactly where the body is. Very quick and simple. Alright, let's come back over here to our layers. We're on layer one right now. We're going to add a layer by tapping on that plus sign, which is gonna give us layer two. And I'm gonna change my color because now we're going to draw the egg. So I'm going to choose maybe like a purple, purplish blue or something like that. I don't want to choose a color that's close to whatever color you started with trying to choose something that's a little bit different. And we're going to draw a half and egg because our Easter Bunny is gonna be sitting in the egg. I'm just gonna kinda go back and forth just like this to create upside down arch. Same thing with the old one, like I showed you earlier. If you draw an oval and held it down, you will get a perfect. Oh, well you can do the same thing for this. You can just draw that, hold it down. Boom, gives you that perfect shape, but I don't really want perfect right now. I want rough. Alright? You'll see these little marks will get rid of all of those a little bit later. So right now you should have your bunny ears, oval body, and this arch right here. Now we're going to draw a skinny oval in-between because we still want to give a little bit of three-dimension two. This is not going to be my YOU popping in it. It's not going to be a completely 3D picture per se, but we are gonna do shadows and those kinds of details. We're just going to make it look 3D. Alright. Now, it looks a little realistic. So if I turn my bunny off, you'll see that I have pretty much an egg shape just like that. And we're going to draw one more oval on the inside to make it a little bit easier for the next part. So I'm just going to draw an oval, another oval. Now this gave me one. I'm right handed, so I'm going to wait and try to go to the left. That's looking really confused and let me start over. Show you what I mean. This doesn't need to be perfect even. Alright, so there we have our egg with another line. The reason we're doing that is because we're going to draw it cracked and want to try to keep it consistent with how we're drawing those on the cracks. But if you want to make yours, you know, kinda different, hey, that's cool as well. I'm going to choose a different color to make it easier for you all to see on the screen about what I'm doing in-between here, I'm just going to draw a zigzag line that goes from this corner right here. And it's going to end in this corner right here because that's pretty much the corner of the egg. And this is the first corner where I'm going to start. Starting here. He's gonna go down, up, down, down, up, down. And I want to make sure I'm ending going up into this corner. Alright, so that's the front of the egg. Now I need to do the back of the egg. I still want to start at that dot. So I'm gonna go down back here just like this. In-between that section down and see the part that got a little messed up or this. Let's try this again. You want to, you can always do that because nobody's going to see this part right here and you can go down on this side and have them meet later. Just like that. And now we have now it's a whole lot of stuff going on, on the screen right now. So let's start erasing some of this out. The eraser tool is right here. We've been using the brush tool this whole time. The finger is the smudge. This is the eraser. Now when we tap on the eraser, I'm gonna be using the airbrush category with the soft brush. This is standard. It comes with your procreate. I'm using airbrushing and I'm using the soft brush, and I'm going to have mine around maybe like 32 to 3%. I'm going to zoom in. I'm going to erase away what I don't need all of this. I don't need that line we drew at the beginning. I don't need it because I want a cracked open looking egg shape. And then I can erase away this part of it to any of that. And then back at the back, erase that. And then finally that top part. Erase that as well. Again, this is just your rough sketch layer. Nobody is going to see this is gonna be perfected later. I'm going to erase away these little marks that got on the screen somehow. And I can erase away some of these dots so it doesn't look like actual.in the corner. All right, there's my egg and I'm going to turn my bunny back on. We turn layers on and off by hitting the checkmark. I don't think I said that earlier. Still learning go. We're going to turn the bunny back on and then we're going to, I'm gonna move my bunny down into my egg a little bit more. Oops. So remember I can choose the selection tool. I'm just going to bring him down more into the egg. And now I want to draw some hands for the bunny to be on top of the egg. And I'm going to choose the color that I originally used for the bay. And I do that by when you hold your finger down on the screen, whatever color is underneath your finger. On the bottom is the color you currently have. On the top is the color you're about to switch to. So if I release my finger is now switch to white. But if I hold it down and I make sure I'm over, the green is now switch to green. And I'm just going to draw a circle just like this. And then we're going to start erasing away where we do not need. Alright, so I'm going to start erasing away some of the egg. So we're gonna go back to the egg layer, choose the eraser. I'm going to erase where the egg is inside the hand. Erased that on both sides. And then on the bunny layer, I'm going to erase inside the hand again, as well as the body that's below the opening of the egg. Because we don't need that at all. Alright, oh, I need to do this part of the egg to erase the egg out of the bunny's head. Alright, so there you have your basic shape for your egg and your buddy. And I'm going to erase these straight lines that I had earlier in the bunnies ears because I don't know. All alright, we're done laying down the basic shapes for our Easter Bunny and our egg. Next, we're going to be refining this and adding the details. 5. Refining The Sketch: We've just been laying in our bunny inside of our egg. Now we want to start refining this sketch a little bit more. First thing I'm gonna do is now that I have the size of my bunny and it's, and it's not going any smaller, any bigger. I'm gonna go ahead and make this bigger on my actual canvas. I'm gonna do that by grouping these two layers together. And let me show you how to do that. This is really good if you want to change the size of something without putting everything on the same layer. So in your layers, when you lasers probably already selected, we only show only have two, the one with the bunny on it and the one with the a. And I'm going to swipe to the right to also select layer two. So again, when you tap on a layer, you're only getting that one layer. If you swipe to the left, you have the option to lock the layer, duplicate it, or delete it. But when you swipe to the right, it highlights it. Can then we're going to select Group. Now, my bunny and my egg or its own group. I can turn this group on and off by tapping the check mark beside the word new group. I can also choose the selection tool and move it. But you have to make sure you have new group highlighted. E.g. if I just have layer-2 highlighted and I select the selection tool, the only thing that's going to change is the egg. You need to make sure that you have new group highlighted. Select the selection tool, and then you can make it as large as you want to. You can also rotate it. Just like this. Fill up the Canvas just like that. Boom. Now we can move on to adding more details to our bunny. I, let's go back to the bunny. I'm still using the same green. I'm going to zoom in because now we're going to work on the bunny space and some other little details. I'm gonna put a little line, go back to my pencil. I'm going to put a little line down the middle, helped me keep in mind with the middle is. And I'm going to draw like a circular, oval type shape right in here for the rabbits muzzle. You know, something just like that. Again, this is just a rough sketch. Alright. I'm gonna do two oval eyes. And again, you can just draw the oval, hold it down and get a perfect oval. But I want my oldest kind of slanted in. I don't want them perfectly straight. Have them slanted in, and I have them sitting right on the muzzle. And then I'm going to have a nose. Remember you can make yours whatever shape you want it to be. It does not have to look exactly like mine. Let's see. I want my eyes to be sitting on the muzzle. Okay. Now right here on the outside, I'm going to draw a curved line. Because what about the job is smile. And I'm gonna kinda follow the curve of the muzzle shape. So let me change the color just to make it little bit easier to see and go back. I'm going to change the color just to make it easier. I'm drawing a curved line here on the outside and a curved line here on the outside. And I'm following shape of the muzzle on, but the mother goes all the way down here. I'm not going all the way down there. I just kinda cut across and I don't know if I showed you all that gesture of just tapping twice on the pencil. If you don't want to have to keep going back-and-forth between choosing the pencil and choosing the eraser. You just tap twice. Every time you tap twice on your Apple pencil, it has to be the second-generation. No. It'll toggle between the pencil and eraser. And now I'm back to the paint. And now I'm back to the pencil. Alright, I want the muzzle. Top of the muzzle, their course ahead. No, I'm changing the color because I thought it might be too hard to see it all what they're being green. And then I want the eyes to sit right on top of the muscle. And of course we want to change. What we need to change later. Alright, look at our bunny. Bunny is looking so cute. I'm gonna get some eyebrows up here. So I'm going to make my, my bunny a boy. So my brain is going to wear bow time, but if you want so you can make yours a binding. What about up here? With just a hairball? Make it as cool as you want to, as unique as you want him. Right here, I'm gonna give my bunny some little fors. So we're just going to draw some like this that I've been having a little bit of. First, just like that. Remember, pause when you need to rewind, when you need to come back. Right in front of the ears. I'm going to give us some more of this. Almost kinda be like a little heart-shaped. See, in this stage is when you work in through your idea, working through how do you want it to look. So that's a nice space. I like that. We're going to keep going. I'm going to add two lines inside the ears. Because since the ear is folded over, if the ear was sticking straight up, we will see the inside of the ear, but we can't see it since the ears folded over. Alright. Alright, now we're gonna go down. We're gonna give them one big book to rely on in the milling, not a classic cartoon. And we can draw a little line here for a bottom lip. All right, so we had the shape of the hair and I think now is a good place for us to stop. And I think I know what I'm gonna do next. I probably should await it before I did all these designs, but it's okay, it's no big deal. Let's go to our groups, our layers. We're going to tap on new group. And we're going to hit the plus sign is going to give us what's probably should be layer for, for you. And we're going to take both layer two and layer one and we're going to lower the opacity. I realize I started adding on my details on my layer one and I really should have added on later for, but it's no big deal. So what layer one, we're going to lower the opacity by tapping on the end. And we're going to drop it down to maybe about 50% or so. Same thing for the egg layer. Tap the end, drop it down to about 50%. And now I'm just going to redraw those details. I just did as far as the eyes, the nose, the muzzle, all of that because it's going to make this a whole lot easier to understand. And I'm gonna change the color. So I'm gonna go to a purple, I'm going to make it almost black. Alright, so let's start off with the nose. Steel rough sketches. Steel rough sketches on purpose. I'm not taking a whole lot of time trying to make it pretty I'm just going over all my details. Hits in hand. I mean, the, the cheap, the smile. Trace all of this too. I think their eyebrow, I'm brown. Going over what I just drew the inside of the ear. Alright, now I can continue moving forward. What I was gonna do, I don't want this line to be a continuous circle like this. So I'm gonna take it from here. You see I'm not going all the way back to up here where we started our overlap. I'm going to start just pass there and I'm going to redraw the ear. Steel drum rough, which is root refining, refining the shapes and stop there like that. And same thing on the other side. You can copy and paste if you want to. I'm gonna go ahead and draw it out. Here. Come all the way out. Alright, now I want to connect this little piece of hair that I drew two here. I'm just going to draw a little bit of zigzag mines. Yes. Column zigzag lines and give them a rabbit, a little bit of hairiness. And I'm specially gonna do it through here. I don't want to draw his head just so nice and smooth like that. You can do that if you want to. Your rabbit can be q, but I'm gonna give it a little bit of variety, just doing this on the outside, on that side and then same thing on this side. So I didn't go all the way in because we're going to ask some more stuff. So now you see if I turn off the rabbit layer, I pretty much have his hair fully fleshed out as far as what his design is going to look like. But I'm going to turn this back on for right now. We're gonna go down to his body up. We're gonna give him I'm gonna give him a bow tie right here. So I'm going to draw a circle right up under that bottom lip. I'm gonna give them a bow tie. This is why I didn't draw the head all the way to the mouth because I knew my bow tie will be kind of big. Remember yours can look how ever you want it to look. And then once you have the bolt hadron, then you can draw the rest of the head to the Botox. All right. Next up, we're going to draw the hands. The hands are going to be in front of the Botox. So some of this will get deleted off. Just a real simple curved line right here. Curved line on that side. Curved line here. And then I'm gonna give it a little bit more of that fuzziness. Alright, now I'm going to switch to my eraser, and I'm going to erase part of that bow tie out of the hand. Still using that soft brush eraser. Because the hands are holding the egg and the rabbit is inside the egg. So it wouldn't make sense that his bow tie is in front of the hands. Alright. We're going to draw a line over here just to represent the arm coming over on this side and on this side. And we're gonna give them a little bit right here. It's going to come over and down. And then maybe that something, maybe some buttons or something, you know, you can make it as fancy as you want to. He has a shirt on. You don't do that. Make whatever decisions you feel are best for you and your bunny. See our bunny is pretty much drawing now. And now I can go through and I can draw the egg. I'm just going to fill in all the places for the eggs that are not drawn. All this is on the same layer. This is still rough. Not anything fancy. Now, you probably would see this part right here. So I'm just going to come down and keep that going right there. Just for continuity purposes. Same thing over here. I'm just going to take it up right there. Now. Here is where I can do just a single line and hold it for the egg. I'm going to follow this all around here. I don't know what that random on this, I'm going to stop and do it again. Hold it. And now I have the egg shape, now I can make it bigger and all of that, but I want it to be right there. All right. I now have drawn all of this on layer four. So I'm going to turn off this group. And now I have, now I have my Easter Bunny drawn inside of the egg. You're creating like the Easter coloring book or something. You could have drawn this with a thicker line and you could have been done here. Of course you want to add your details onto the egg. You can do that have you want to. But if you're drawing like a coloring books, that's all you have to do. The your rough sketch first, and then you go in and refine it and boom, it's done. Next, we're going to add our color to RAM. And I mean, not a coach or a dark color to the whole thing. 6. Adding Base Colors Pt. 1: Now there is one step, but some artists do when they are using Procreate and that is to even redefine this even more. I'll just show you quickly what they're gonna do. I'm not going to do the whole thing, but this is just to show you an example. They'll then go in, they'll turn the opacity down on this layer. Go in with the new layer with a thicker brush. Maybe inking like a studio pen or something like that. Then they'll redefine this all over again. So they'll do this. Now. If you were doing a coloring book for real, this is kind of the brush that you want to use for your coloring book. We're not gonna do that today. We're going to skip that step because it's just not necessary for the result. We're trying to get to them. All right? Right now, in your layers, you had your layer one with your bunny on it, your layer two with your egg on it, which is in one group called The New Group. We hadn't layer four, which is this. So now we're going to start adding color. We do not need new group layer to layer one anymore. So right on new group, I'm going to swipe it to the left and I'm going to hit delete. I don't need it anymore. I like to draw my colors on different layers. Every layer of this bunny is gonna be on a different layer for the most part, because that makes shading so much easier. Hold on one moment, happiness of water. All right. Now it's time to add our color, right in your layers, we're going to add another layer, is going to show up as layer two. And we're going to drop layer to underlayer four. Keep in mind, layer four is where our outline is. We have the opacity turned down. I'm going to turn it in modest down to like 20 per cent. You choose where you want it, you know, for you. But we're gonna start on layer two. This is where you can decide what color you want your bunny to be. In the picture that I originally did, my bunny was like a tan colors. I'm going to continue with that. So I'm going to go into the orange and yellow area. I'm going to find like a nice tan color. And then I need to change the brush. Now I want to use a brush that I had downloaded already. But I think for this we'll just stick with the studio pen so you want to go down to inking? And yeah, we're gonna do Studio Pen. We're going to use studio pen to do our color. Look out there for some great brushes that have different textures to the outside of them. The studio pen has a very, very smooth look to it. But because it's a rabbit wanted to have a little bit of texture, I don't know if there's another brush that came. I'm pretty sure there is a brush that came with it. Maybe you can do charcoal. Let's do charcoal. Change the planes. This time we're going to do it with charcoal, the button. So I want you to go down to the charcoal section. And let's choose charcoal black charcoal block as you see, that has some texture to the outside of it. Okay. I'm going to bring down the size. The size that you need is going to depend on how big your bunny is on your screen. First thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to pretty much thought with West End the furthest. What spurred this back when it comes to my rabbit. And so for me, what's furthest back on the rabbit as far as if the further rabbit is going to be this part of the ear. I'm going to scroll in, Zoom in red. I'm going to this part, we can just color it in. We don't need to color dropping. So just that part right there. And then I'm gonna do that on the other side. And this will all make sense later while I'm only doing it like this. Okay? Now, we're going to add another layer. On layer two. We're going to tap. That's gonna give us layer three. And layer three. I am going to do the entire rabbits head. And what's left with either we're going to color drop this instead of coloring this whole thing in. So to make this easier to see, Let's turn off layer two so nobody gets confused on layer three and we're about to draw an outline around the whole rabbits head for the most part. I start here. Here. Come all the way around. It. It's okay if it's not perfect. You see how really don't always follow my lines. Really personal preference or I can go back and erase it. I'm not going to worry about this little tough to hear. I'm not going to worry about these little tough. So here we're gonna put those on their own layer. I'm gonna go straight across to this ear. Alright, now, from where we ended on the right ear and the left ear, we're just going to cut straight across to the side of the hip. Just like that. I have all of these little lumps right here. So I'm going to do each of those individually as a method to the madness. There's a reason why I'm doing everything on a different layer. Because we're going to start Alpha locking all of these layers here, going straight across. I'm going to come around with bright fair? Now, I'm going to purposely leave this open right here. What we're gonna do next is we're going to drag, we're going to drag this circle of color and we're going to drop it onto the rabbit. But if you have anywhere where your color does not connect, It's like if you pour painting here, the paint is just going to spill out to the whole campus just like this. And that's not what we want. We want the color to be contained inside the shape. I'm going to close this off. Now I'm going to start moving first, drag and drop. Now. It's still filling up the whole paper. That's not what we want here. The trick, when you drag it onto here, keep your pencil touching the screen and slowly start moving your pencil to the left. This is going to change the threshold of color. Feel 100 per cent brush, brush, whole field is all the way to the right. Zero per cent is always two all the way to the left. But you don't wanna do 0% because you see that right there. When you don't fill it in all the way, you get this line all around your shape and you don't want them. So you have to determine where you are going to feel. And if you can't move your pencil any further, that means you undo it, zoom out, and you do it again until you get a field. And I like to fill it in right before it takes over the whole Canvas. So my takes over the canvas at about 76%, 64%. Alright, and now the entire rabbit head is filled in. Still have the tub sit here. I remember we had this part turned off. Remember because layer two is turned off. So now we're going to turn off layer three and we're going to add another layer. And this time we're gonna do the hair and another part in just a moment. So go ahead and fill it in. Do the tufts of hair, these and you can kind of just cover me and it's up to you. As the artists. You know, you make the decisions that's easiest for you. All right. Now, I want to do this muzzle. I want to do the muzzle by itself because I want the muscles to be colored differently than everything else. It's what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go across just like this. Then I worried about the nose. The nose will be done in front of the Muslim. I'm going to come all the way over the bottom. Drag and drop. Now moving left to right. 7. Adding Base Colors Pt. 2: Okay, now we can turn the rabbit back on. So now it looks like the entire rabbits head is filled in. I like to take stuff a little bit further some time, but you can kind of decide, you may want to do each of these hairs on its own layer that makes coloring them easier. But for today we'll just do them all on the same layer. Alright, next up, we're going to do the nose. Now. The muzzle is on layer four. So we need to add another layer. I told you at the beginning is going to be a whole lot of layers. You go pick what color you want the nose to be. I'm gonna go with the pink. Just like in the original. I'm going to keep the same brush that I've been using, which is that charcoal brush. I may make the size a little bit smaller. I'm going to fill in the notes. This is why we want to keep this drawing that has a low opacity. Want to keep that at the top of our layer list. Though we always see it as we're coloring because at this layer that had the outline on it was at the bottom, we wouldn't be able to see it. And if you ever need to move a layer, that's all I got to do. Just touch it, hold it, and move it to where you needed to go. All right, next up, we're going to add this to behave. See here's the thing. Our nose is on layer file are muzzle is only a four. We can't see it because all of layer three is turned on. So let's turn off layer three so you can see the muscle. Alright. We need to put the two in between. The layer that has the rabbits head and the layer that has the muzzle. So I'm gonna go to the rabbit head layer, then add a layer. And I'm going to choose white. And I'm going to fill it in. And I see, I can cover up here all day long. You're never going to see it because I'm on the layer that's underneath the muzzle. So when you're thinking about how you're coloring your pitches, you want to think about the order, What is closest to you, what is furthest away, and make sure that you're layering, that you're ordering your layers just like that. All right. The eyes are technically behind the muzzle as well, so they can be on the same layer as the two. I'm gonna do some purple bluish purple eyes. I'm going to use the trick of just drawing it over and hold again. So I get that perfect oval. And then I have that and I can color it in n. Remember earlier where I showed you how to draw a lasso around something, copy and paste it. I'm gonna do that with this. Go to the lasso. It's going to draw right around the, I go to my layer. Go to layer six, Tap it. Copy, go to the wrench, come down to paste. Now I have two eyes, but of course it's facing the wrong direction. So I have to do what? Horizontally flip it. And I'm going to move it behind there. And then of course what? Merge it down? You always want to merge it down so you can keep everything on the same layer. All right, we're coming along. Next up. We're going to move to the bow tie. Now, my bow tie is in front of the head. So that means whatever layer I decide to put it on, I want to make sure that it is in front of the head. I have enough space to do 37 layer. So I'm gonna put the bow tie on his own layer. So I'm, I gotta go, I'm gonna go down to be paid. And another layer, I'm going to make the bot top pink. I'm gonna do the back of the Botox first. Then I'm gonna do the not of the boat out on another layer. Whole bunch of layers for my drawings. Whole bunch of layers that can go across here. It looks funny when you're looking at it this way. But until you have everything at it and it's kinda hard to understand what's going on. We can drag and drop moved that threshold. And you always want to check it up close to make sure that it's not too much. Now I'm going to turn off this bow tie. Add another layer so I can do the dots. But not I mean, I'm just going to cover this morning instead of trying to drag and drop it. Alright. Now behind the bowtie we have his little jacket. I called it a vest. If you want it to be advanced, you would do this one color and do the sleeves and other color. I'm just gonna do it all as one jacket like in my example. And all of this is behind the head. So I'm gonna go down here to this layer where we put that first section of the ears on and add another layer. I'm going to make a teal jacket. Anywhere where I see some overlapping. I want to make sure I split those layers up. So I'm gonna do this side first. Color here, this part of the jacket like that and color this in. Now, I'm going to add another layer and do the right side of the jacket. I can turn this side off so I don't get confused. All my tricks I'm giving away. Covered this in. Then over here. Doesn't have to be perfect because the edges won't be seen. And now we have the jacket. Now you see the hands. The one thing that's in front of everything, so we're not going to worry about the hands right now. Next we're gonna go to the egg. The egg. The egg is behind here and right now our layers, 10.9 of steel behind the head. So I'm going to add another one. My egg is going to be yellow, just like my example, but it's gonna be further away. So I'm going to make it a little bit darker, just a little bit. So I choose yellow, make it dark and I'm just filling in this part. We're just going to be the inside of the egg. Here. Please leave all feedback you have. I know what do you notice? The egg background should be behind the jacket. So I need to go to my layers, hold it down, move it behind the jacket, and being finished on the other side. You can color it in or you can color drop. Name is up to you. Alright, now we're gonna do the front of the egg. The front of the egg is going to be in front of the jacket now, but behind the head. So now I'm gonna go back to the jacket, add another layer. I'm gonna do. This one. I'm going to actually color drop it in. I'm going to cut across the hand. Down. Across the hand again. I remember we're going to just draw a line, curved line around and we're going to hold it. And then color drop their lap threshold over bone. Next up we're going to do the hands. The hands are going to be in the very front. So we need to go all the way to the nose layer. It actually can go in the same layer as the nose. You can put on its own layer. I never put stuff on the same layer that's close to each other. But since the nose is up here, in the hands of down here, we can start them on the same layer. I want the hand to be the same color as the face. So I need to grab that color by holding down on face. Now I have the brown color. I'm gonna do the whole shape of the hands. Drag and drop. Same thing on this side. Alright. Only two things we have left on the inside of the ears and the actual shirt of the bunny. And they're gonna go at the very back. So down here at layer two a week, get the behind the ear. First, we're going to add another layer and move it underneath there. And we're going to make the inside of the ear pink. I'm going to do that. Of course you can do yours any color you want to. Just color behind there. And then shirt color. I'm going to make it a really light blue just so I can tell the difference of what's what. And that's going to be right here. And now my bunny is completely colorblind and I can change the background color to whatever color I want to. And you will see that the rabbit is colored in exactly how we want them to be. Sometimes I'm making my background's gray just to make sure everything pops where I want it to be white. It's been wiped this whole time, but you know, it's kinda up to you. We can turn it gray so that we can kinda see our shading a little bit better. But we're now down to the next, to the last step, which is adding the highlights, details and all that fancy stuff. And then we'll outlined at the very end. 8. Highlights and Shadows Pt. 1: Now the reason why I put all of my colors on different layers is because I need to color block and alpha lock all my colors. So I'm gonna go to my layers. Every single layer I need to alpha lock, meaning a tap twice on it. When I get this menu, alpha locket, tap twice alpha lock. I'm going to Alpha lock every single layer except the layer that has the outline on it. Alpha lock is such a great tool because it allows you to kinda color freely to feel something in without overspending. If you have a spray paint is something that you didn't cover everything correctly, you have overspending. So let me show you. We're gonna do the inside of the ears first. We're gonna go down to that layer, which is this first layer right here. That lay at the bottom. I'm going to hold my finger down to grab the pink. Come up to my colors. And we're going to just move it darker a little bit when I going all the way to black, you don't wanna go too far. You want to just move it down a little bit. Now let's change our brush. Let's go back into our options. And let's do a, do the willow or the vine brushes. It's up to you can kind of play and play around with them. I'm going to choose this brush. So we'll just see that I'm doing, I'm going to make the size a little bit bigger. Just right up here at the top. It's gonna kinda lightly do that. And then that helps to see, oh, okay, So this is actually in front of this, but it's not covering it completely. Now we're going to start making this look more realistic. You can go through and you can some color to it and add that. This is where you have the opportunity to kind of be as creative as you want to add how you add your colors. But that's why we alpha lock it because I can color this whole paper, this whole screen. And the only places you will see the colour appeared is in the ear. And if I went down there to the shirt, so I can come down to the shirt, hold down the blue color, bring it down just a little bit. And I'm going to just write up here and make it smaller. And I'm going to a small area just like that. And now we're gonna do that for every single part of this picture. All right, Next up is this part of the ears. I'm going to turn it on and off so you can see exactly which part I'm talking about. So we're going to hold down and get the brown. Then we're going to move it down just a little bit. And because this is behind, should look like that. So that way if I turn off the outline, you already see how cool they're starting to look. So you see up here there's areas where this part of the ear didn't fully get covered. And you can always go back and adjust that later. Alright, let's turn the outline back on. Next part that we're going to start shading in. Let's see, let's do the egg first and best. The next thing, I'm gonna do the back part of the egg. That's why I have that dark yellow color. I'm going to choose that. Bring it down a little bit. I'm gonna make my brush a little bit bigger so I'm covering them bigger area at one time. You see that? Now you can try to elevate how your colors look a little bit. Instead of doing a dark yellow. So the yellow hat, I may slap my slider closer to orange and make it a little bit darker. And then that will add a little more character to how your colors look. You might not be able to tail on camera though. I can maybe go a little bit darker and just do it right here. And we're not going to leave the egg blank. We're going to add and add in a design in a little bit. So we're not going to touch this right now. We're just doing these other parts. And now I'm just going to take my time and go through each section. I'm gonna do the best next, since the next one up. This is the left side. I'm going to choose the teal color. I'm gonna go over towards blue and bring it down a little bit. Adding some shadows. Shadow from the bulb. You want to think about what's around, what it is. It's just shading in. Go to the other side. Shadow from the bot. Shadow for me being inside the egg. Shadow. Here. And then we're going to add some highlights as well. So we're not just gonna do shadows are going to ask some highlights. So I still have some of that pure color right here. Grab that gun on, lighten it up, make our brush smaller. Then we can do this on the edge. I'm not even on that layer. Finished over here first. We'll do it. This way. You can just explore ways to add color. Let me turn off the outline so you can see how it looks. So that's how it's looking right now. Alright, next up we're going to go to the boat. And I'm going to show you a trick that I use sometimes if you're not really sure how you want to add color. This is a great trick to use without messing up your actual color base layer. Let's start with this part of the boat first. Let's say, I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to do this, but I don't want to miss it. This layer, I'm going to add a layer above it. And this layer I'm going to choose clipping mask. So now that means whatever I draw on this layer, I'm just going to choose something random and make it bigger. Anything I draw on this layer, It's going to show up on the bow. But when you look at the layer list is not actually on the bow layer. It's like attached to it. I'm going to clear this off. So anything I do now will show up on the bow, but it's not going to mess up the original bot layer. Choose my pink, drop it down, maybe go towards purple. And I'm going to have some shadows right there down at the bottom. You always want to think about where's your light coming from? My light is coming from I get the light was shining straight down on the rabbit. That's how I'm looking at it. I'm going to add some highlights picked up pink again. Raise that color, make the brush a little bit bigger so it covers a little bit more. See that it really makes a difference when you're doing alpha lock and clipping mask. And I can drop it down and I can do some small areas like that. If you want the bot to really look shiny, you can go even further towards white. Drop the size of the brush down, add just some small areas of highlights. And do the exact same thing. For the not layer. We're going to add an extra layer. And so we're choosing to not going to add an extra layer. And we're going to choose clipping mask. And we're going to start all over, pick the color, drop it down, go towards purple. I'm going to just do some rounded shadows. Pick the color, take it up. Rounded highlights. I'm going to go even further towards white. And then do just like a little. 9. Highlights and Shadows Pt. 2: Something like that. Now if you don't feel like there's enough differentiation between the bot and the not. We can go back to this layer. We can kinda come into here the purple that we use and we can make this even darker. Just add a little bit there. You see that that's really going to make the bot. That's too much. Just want a little bit. You don't want too much. C, that'll really help the bot to stand out of. Stand off of. It's looking like as it should be a illustration for Easter Bunny work or something. Alright, moving on. So we have is closed. We can worry about the little buttons at the end. We do our last outlines and stuff. Let's move up to his face. Alright, we're gonna go to the next layer up, which is going to be teeth and eyes. For the teeth, I'm not really going to do too much shading, but I just use a little bit of gray to show that the muzzle is in front of the teeth. And you know, just something like this. We don't need to do too much one I Easter Bunny to have nice teeth even though he's giving out candy to everybody. And I may do a little bit of shading like right down the middle. And then we'll add a little line there layer. We don't need a whole lot, but I wouldn't get a little fancy with it. I'm going to go towards here, maybe add a little bit of purple. We want to shade in the same kind of form that the shape is. My e.g. my, my eyes or oval. So I don't want to just shade across but you couldn't listen. They'll look like I shouldn't say you can't. That's just not what I do. Let's see if I shaded across like this. There might be a little cool. That's not too bad. Go towards a little bit more pink. Something like that. I mean, if that's your thing, go for it. But I'm going to stick to the way I normally do it, which is kinda shading, following the shape. It's purple on the edges because I'm going to put a little glare up in the top, towards the end. Go further towards pain. Alright, the layers don't wash. I can add a little bit opposite direction for the highlights. Let's go towards blue. Just a little bit like that. That's cool. I like that. Yeah, I hope I showed on the camera where it looks like. Alright, next that we're heading to the muzzle. You see I'm just working my way from the bottom to the top. Of course, I skipped over the egg and the rabbit head would do those, have to do those at the end? Actually it, Let's go back to the rapid, know nothing about it. So let's finish the rabbit had before we go to the middle, Let's grab the rabbit head. Drop the color down, will make the brush fairly big because it's going to kind of be largely, largely large areas of highlights. Notice the muzzle has a change because the muscle is on a different layer. I can do this up here for the ears. So I wanted to pick a brush that had like some, some texture to it. I rabbit has, for instance, we know that this hair is on a different layer. We can shade a little bit just like that. You see, and that makes it stand out a little bit more just from shading behind it. All right. Now we can grab this color, lighten it up a little bit. You see the difference that makes me just add just a little bit of light and a little bit of shade and color. Really makes a difference. Alright? And that's pretty much done. We may go back and alter some stuff, some more like e.g. like where we have right here, where he'll be smile AND gate. We could actually make that a little bit darker. I'm going to drop that down, dropped my size down. I'm just going to comment. Do that right here. Like that. Much on that side. Too much. Alright. Now let's go back to the muzzle. Grab the color, burn, darken it. We want to make sure that we can see a difference though, between where the modal stops and where the back of the head is. So we may need to go back to the head and darken it up a little bit more. A little bit. Go back to the hair. I'm going back to the rabbit here. I'm going to darken it up, some more. Darken up just below the muzzle though. Just below the most. I don't want to do too much to it. All right. Let's go back to the muzzle. Lighten up the color, choose a muzzle. Red. That's how we want to make sure that we can see that clear definition of the top of the muzzle. Really hope it's called a muzzle. Hope I haven't been calling it the wrong thing this whole time. Make it a little bit lighter. Because ideally if we can make it so that we don't need any highlights. That's what I really liked when I can make it. So there are no highlights, neat and I turn off the outline and see how it looks right now. The goal. Go to the nose. Same thing, grab the pink. It down a little bit. Shading, lighten it up top. And which occurred. And you can go back to the Muslim, do a little bit of shadow right up under the nose to show that the nose is actually protruding off of the muzzle. And these are all decisions that you can make as you're going through the process. Nothing else is really different. It's just a matter of just adding and adding and adding. Remember if you don't want to add exactly onto there, you go in and you add another layer, do a clipping mask is what you do. The hair is also on this layer, so same thing. Go to the hair and the shadow. I liked. My go back to the rabbit head and dark and right there behind. Make sure that here is sticking out a good amount. Yeah, perfect. I might even go back to the very first thing we shaded, which are the ears, and darken it up just a little more. Alright, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and just tackle everything. Same thing with the hands. I want to be able to show that he has these fingers. So this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna add a layer above. And I'm going to shade that outside part of each finger. But then I'm going to erase it. I'm going to take my eraser, I'm going to choose. It can be the airbrush eraser, just make it real small. And I'm going to erase away. And I'm going to turn off the outline layer so you can see exactly why I did that. When you do that, may turn into a clipping mask. Then you can see the fingers without having to do outlines. So many tips and tricks, you can do. So many tips and tricks. I'm going to make it a little bit darker. A bit darker. When I don't mean add some highlights. I go back to the hand layer for this part though. Alright. 10. Final Details: Now that we have added all of the shading, we're gonna go ahead and add our design to the egg. So we're gonna do is when it comes to our layers. Let's start over. I now we're going to add the design to our eggs. We can finish up our picture. But what we're gonna do this is what we just learned about what, which is using a clipping mask. So I'm going to come into my layers. I'm going to go to my egg layer. I'm going to add a layer above it and make it a clipping mask. And I'm going to use the studio pen. So if you go down to your list of brushes, you wanna go to inking and go to studio pen. And you want to pick a color that is going to go well with, you know, whatever color you major egg. I'm gonna go with a lighter blue. And you can just create simple designs. I'm going to make a thicker line here. I'm going to keep it the same color you can make us cannot change it up. It goes from like a reddish tint color. No, I do pink sticker that things turn it this way. Remember, whatever design you want to do on your egg is perfectly fine with you. Repeat that. Yeah, it's going to be like that. Alright, now, I'm going to alpha lock the clipping mask I just did because we're about to add some shading to the egg and below I'm going to add it to our designs as well. So I've got the egg chosen is already alpha locked from earlier. I'm going to go up and choose airbrushing. Go back to that soft brush because the egg is a smooth surface, we're not going to use the same brush we were using for the rabbit and his clothes. So I have picked up the color of the egg, whatever your color is, of course you're going to pick that up. Then I go and I'm going to move it a little bit this way and go down. I'm going to make the brush bigger and I'm gonna put my shadow down here at the bottom. Remember, like I said, I have my, my life for this one is kind of going down this way. So shadows are always opposite of light. So if my light is coming down, my shadow is gonna be down here. Go back to the yellow again. I'm just gonna go straight down to like a darker color. And C, and then that looks like the light is coming down on the egg. But I want the egg to look like it has a little bit of shine to it. So I'm going to grab the main color of the egg again. Dropped my brush a little bit smaller and I'm just going to put just a little bit at the bottom. Just like that way it looks, you know, almost 3D. Now in bilayer for my colors, e.g. the pink color. I'm just going to drop that down a little bit. He just wanted to add it in a couple of places young to too much. For the blue. Doesn't need a whole luck of the blue as close to the top. Now back to the yellow layer for my egg, I'm gonna do the lighter side now. So I have yellow. Go over here. And I do like the size a little bit. Makes it look really shiny, doesn't, that's cool. Maybe up here. Now we have our rabbit's hands are on the aid. There should be some kind of shadow being cast onto the egg. So we're going to take the color. And just behind the rabbit's hands. I'm just going to add a little bit of shadow that we know that these objects are existing in the same place. You don't want to put too much shadow behind it. You kind of play and figure out with how much you want. The shadow will kind of let people know how wide or how big the hands actually work. And I can put some on the inside as well. Alright, so we are almost done. The last two steps we're gonna do is we're going to throw a shadow under it. And then we're going to do some outlining. And we're gonna be finished with my first Procreate online lesson. I'm so happy I have stuck with me thus far as I learned to do all of this. For the shadow, for the egg, we're gonna go down. I'm going to put a layer at the very bottom. So we're going to tap a layer, going to pick it up and bring it all the way down to the bottom. I'm going to pick a color. It's not going to be black. It's gonna be more like a dark gray color. And I'm going to use something that should tell you to avoid having to go back and go to each category and pick a brush. You can go to recent and you will see the recent brushes that we've been using. So all the brushes I've been using this whole time right here. Remember we were outlined with the FBI shading and everything with the vine charcoal and with the charcoal block. So I'm gonna go back to the studio pen. I'm gonna draw an oval right under the egg. Now it's not gonna be a huge oval, just a little skinny oval like that. Going to drop it. And that's gonna be my shadow. Remember, my shadow, my light is coming from up here. So my shadow has to be underneath it. Now, we're gonna go to this tool. We haven't used this today. We're gonna go here. The gallery icon is here. Then we have the wrench tool for the actions. Now we're gonna go to adjustments. We're gonna go down to hue, saturation and brightness. This is where you could change the color of something without having to go up here and re-color it. You can manage saturation here, and you can manage brightness. Over here. We're going to come back to this in just a second, but I just wanted to show you what it was. In the adjustments panel. We're going to go down to Gaussian Blur. I don't know how to say that. I've always said Galatia and is not L in there, but it's alright. So we're gonna pick that. We're going to touch the screen. And when you move your pencil left to right, it determines how much of a blurb areas. Now, we don't want it to be blurred like this because we want to still be able to see the shadow. So we're going to bring the shadow too far off though. The shadow, something about like that. Okay. Then we'll go to the layer and we're going to drop the opacity down somewhere in there. All right, now I think I'm going to move this shadow up a little bit. Now. I would like to add another layer of shadow. So I'm gonna go to this. I'm on the layer 18. I'm not sure what number it is for you at this point. Add another one. Go back to your pencil. I mean your studio pen. And right underneath it, I'm going to draw right up on me. Make it just a little bit darker so I can see it right underneath the egg. And then I'm going to blow that one as well for the Gaussian blue. Alright, now, that's going to make it look a little more realistic. Now, I can probably make this shadow a little bit smaller, bring it in some more. Probably can drop the opacity down a little bit more. So you have to kinda play with it on your tablet and see what works. Alright. 11. Outlinging: Last step is outlining. I want to add outlines to anywhere. I think that'll help mixed up pop out. Granted, I have all these places where I shaded in. I did shadows to help stuff pop out, but some outlines wouldn't hurt. I'm gonna put my outline right underneath the outline layer we had at the beginning. I'm going to put my final outline layer there. I'm going to turn this one off because I don't need it anymore. I'm going to start with the hair. I'm going to grab the skin color. I'm going to drop it down fairly low. And this is where you choose which pen or pencil you want to use. I have a special one that I downloaded. Can't even remember where I got it from. So I'm going to show you how different ones can affect the way the illustration looks. If I were to do this with the studio pen, I'm only going to actually add the outlines where the colors are near each other. I should've started here, went up. So that's how the studio pen would look. If I use that to outline. If I use just the regular pencil we used when we first started sketching. See that it looks a little bit better because it has some texture to it. How the rabbit has some texture and it's not as smooth as the studio pen, but it really is personal preference. And I can add little right here. One there helps show the fold-over. So we know we had the big smile right here. I just picked out where crown, this is where you're going to make the choice that you want to make as far as how you want to outline yours? I can choose to put one here. I think I like my arm without like mom about it. I'm going to put one down here. Put one on fingers anywhere where you see a color beside herself. And you want to be able to show distinction between what square. All right, I'm going to add a darker gray to the teeth. To the tooth rather. Just like that. Get some white for the eyes and the nose. We'll leave it there for now. He's got deleted something and see. And just that little bit of loan starts to really change how your illustration is looking. We're moving to the bow tie. Both sides. One beer. For the shirt. I wanted to go back in and add the buttons. I can just sketch them in on the outlines. My rabbit is done. Let's take a look at it again, see if there's anything I missed. Like up here, I could add some more lines like this to help show for. I wanted to see what it looks like. I don't really like that, so I'm gonna take it off. So you can add that if you wanted on yours. Oh my gosh. He needs eyebrows. He'd had eyebrows. Was lower. This a little bit so I can see what the eyebrows were. Just draw some eyebrows. Most we get. I'm going to copy and paste this eyebrow. Eyebrows can be even. Use my lasso. Same steps we've been doing this entire lesson. Flip it to this side, drop it right there and I'm going to move it down. And our Easter Bunny design is complete. This is nice. I really hope you enjoy following along with me as we did the Easter Bunny. Now you can go in and do all whatever kind of fancy stuff you want to. You can change the background to whatever color you want, and I want it to pop out. One thing that I do that I learned in Procreate is if you add a layer of white light, make the whole thing white above everything. And then you tap on the N and change it to color. This will show you how much how your values are looking. And this can also help you to determine how to do your background. So you see making the background a little bit darker gives a little more contrast to the rabbits as the rabbit is. So light. And then you see the difference that makes, that makes a huge difference in making that rabbit pop off the page. I could this and I can go to the soft brush, get a light version of this color. Just something like that. And then you always want to sign your work. Whites. Didn't use the pencil. No salmon name right over here. Almost spelled my name wrong. Shred this a Thompson. And that is it. I had a lot of fun teaching her how to do this today. I really did. I really, really do. 12.
