Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hi, I'm flow. You might know me from my easy to follow. You can draw this video tutorials at YouTube. But I also have classes here at Skillshare. During this class, I will show you how you can easily create a vector style portrait and procreate. The techniques are really easy and you don't need a lot of experience with Procreate or drawing to get this type of result. During this class, you will learn how you can trace a reference image, how you can use different layer blending modes, clipping mask, alpha lock, layer masks, and more. For the class project, you will be creating your own vector style portrait. Or you can just follow along grabbed the photo I'll be using and create this portrait. The class resources include a brush fact color palette and the photo that I'm using for the demonstration. So you can get started right away. I'm looking forward to creating a vector style portrait together. Go grab your iPad and Apple Pencil, and let's get started. 2. Setting up Your Canvas: Before we can get started creating a vector style portrait, of course, you need to set up your Canvas. Perhaps you'll be using the same photo as I'll be using, or maybe you have found a photo of your own that you want to use. It's good to note that during this tutorial, I'll be using a canvas that is 2300 pixels by 3 thousand pixels. So only if you are using that same canvas size, the brush sizes will match. If you are working on a smaller campus, you'll need to make the brushes a little bit smaller. And if you're working on a bigger Canvas, you will need to make them brushes bigger. Once you have setup your Canvas, you can add a photo to it by going to the wrench here in the upper-left corner. Then go to Add. And then you can use insert a photo and they can just navigate to the photo that you want to use, an insert it onto your Canvas. I have already inserted the photo that we'll be using for this class. And before we get started with drawing, we need to change the opacity of this layer a little bit. You can do it by going to two little squares here and tab the n and lower the opacity by using the slider. You can set it at 35%, for instance, and then tap the plus For a new layer. And on that new layer we're going to start drawing. 3. Tracing Facial Features: Like I said in the introduction of this class, I have created a little brush pack with some brushes that we'll be using Fordist vector style portrait. You can download the brush pack and the resources section. And we're going to start by using the liner brush. And I have also added a color palette to the resources section in case you wanted to use the same colors as I'm using during this class. Just keep in mind that I have the color profile of my canvas said to sRGB. And the first color we'll be using is this first one in the first row. It's near black, and the opacity of the brush is at a 100% and size. We'll set that to 7%. Are first we're going to create the lines for the facial features. So the eyes, the nose and the mouth, and the eyebrows. Let's start with the eyes. You can easily just zoom in by spreading your fingers on the screen. Let's start in the corner of the eye. Follow that lower line to the corner of the eye. Let's also followed at the top line, adding a little bit of thickness to this line. And then you can drag in a color like this to fill that line, my knee to fill some of these gaps. Let's follow this lower line all the way to the corner of the eye. Then we'll follow that crease. Start here and make a swooping line. Rotate your canvas. Let's follow that circle of the iris. Then we'll start creating the eyelashes. Curved lines, short strokes. Follow the little lines that you see on the photo. You don't have to follow them exactly. This art will swap to the other side. Wraps another one here. Let's also add the pupil that's a little oval over here. For the lower eyelashes, we'll make these short little strokes. Just a few. Don't let them touch that black line or almost black line that we have created for the lower eyelid. Then let's zoom out and let's do the other eye so we'll zoom back in. Now let's start in the corner of the eye again, followed a lower line, then that outer line, giving it a little bit of volume. Let's connect these two here. Dragging a color to fill it. Fix this a little bit. And then we'll create a line for the lower eyelid. Start here. Make a curvy line and not touch that corner of the eye. Leave that open. Now let's create the iris and the pupil, little oval here. Then a curve over here. Then again, we're going to create the eyelashes. So look at the photo that is showing through. Make the short swooping curves to the outside of the face. Over here we'll make some short strokes again. Forties lower eyelashes. As you can see, you can take some freedom. You don't have to follow the photo Exactly. How do we have the eyes? Let's move on to the eyebrows. Let's first draw the lines of two-channel sheep. Start here. Make a curved line like that, then go up here. Make another curved line. Fill that. Then we can add a little bit more detail. We can add some loose hairs, some hairs that are sticking out at the top, but follow that curve. That eyebrow can also rotate your canvas a little bit. Follow that line, follow that curve. It makes short strokes that you stick out a little bit. Some here. Bottom. It looks a bit like this. And then you can move on to the other eyebrow first again, make the general shape curve line. Then fill that shape. Then start adding those loose hairs again. Again, follow that curve. The eyebrow. Make some hairs sticking out over here. Perhaps a few over here. Let's move on to the nose. Let's start with this hole over here. Follow this curve and go back up. May go like this, almost like a bean shape. Fill that shape and then add a little line here around the nostril little line over here. And then we'll make a curve along the nose up here. Might need a couple of tries. It's hard to make a smooth sweeping motion like this. Don't worry. There is always the undo button or you can tap two fingers on the screen to undo and take as many times as you need. Let's move on to the mouth. Let's start here with a line and then follow the underside of the lip. Followed a curve For side of the upper lip. As you can see, I'm not touching that corner of the mouth. You can leave some gaps. Do want to make it touch over here TO then let's follow this curve. We can make the lines touch for that inside of the mouth, but for the outside of the lips, you can leave some gaps. Let me rotate. Let's start here. Let me get swooping line like this. Let's move on to the teeth. Just make a little line going up here. Because we get that nice taper of the line. Depth thin. And now we can fill these areas to make that dark. Zoom out. We can see that we have lines for all of the facial features. So it's time to move on. 4. Blocking in Colors: Now it's time to do some color blocking. We're going to block in the colors for the different parts of the face. The face as a whole, the neck, the hair, but also the eyes and the lips and teeth. We're going to do that on separate layers. And those layers shoot be underneath our lines layer. First tap the photo layer and then tap the plus for a new layer, afford a brush, we're going to grab the monoline brush, which is part of the calligraphy brushes. But I have also put it in the special brush pack that is attached in the resource section. Effort of color, I'll be using this third color in the second row. The opacity of this brush is at a 100% and the size is at 18%. I'll zoom in and color in the iris. Just make an outline and then dragging the color to fill that shape. Then do the same thing on this side. Now let's also create the white of the eye. Let's do that on a layer underneath this one. So first tap the photo layered and tap the Plus for a new layer and then grab this second color and the second row. As you can see, it's not entirely white. If you are using a different photo in Egypt, pick a color for the white of the eye. Make sure that you don't pick a 100% white. It should be a little bit grayish. Eater like yellowish grayish or bluish, grayish. Just not white. Now let's color in those areas. You can either just do it by hand like this, fill it in. You can make an outline. Then drag in the color. I'm sorry, go all along the edges. This side. We're going to add some white of the eye here. Then fill this area, dragging the color on the same layer and with the same color. Let's also color the teeth because teeth aren't pure white either. This is a nice color for the teeth. Dragging the color to fill the shape. We can actually color the lips on the same layer as the irises. So let's go to layer three. Then grab this first color and the second row. Now let's go and color these lips. Going to follow the edges all the way to this area, to the corner. Dragging the color. Then let's do to lower lip curve all the way to the corner. I'm sure you don't go over the teeth and then dragging the color to fill it. Next, we're going to block in the colors for the, for the entire face, for the hair and the neck. We're going to start with the hair and we'll start with the hair in front of the face. Let's make a new layer on top of this one, tap to plus four color. We're going to grab this color to first color and the third row. And now let's grab the liner brush again. Let's make it nice and big. Let's grab. Let's make it 45%. Start here. Make a curved line down. Make something of a basic shape. Dragging the color to fill it. Let's add a little bit more over here. Fill that as well. Now let's make the brush a little bit smaller. Let's set it to 15%. Let's add a little bit of lines here to make it blend a bit more with the face. As if the hair is coming out of this area. These diagonal lines, short strokes. Let's also blend it a little bit over here. Let's make the brush big again, Forty-five percent. Let's make very short strokes. That is not a crisp line, but it has these little hairs sticking out. Suggestion of hair. In any case. You are about this point. Now let's move on to color the face. We will do that on a new layer, underneath this hair layer and underneath the lips and the eyes layer. So first, tap the photo down, tap two plus. And for the color, I have already selected a color, of course, but if you are having trouble picking colors, what you can do is turn up the opacity of the photo to max. You can try picking a middle color. For instance, here on the forehead, grab a color like this with your finger. You can just hold your finger on the screen. You can go to the color wheel. And what I like to do is make the color a little bit more saturated. You can drag the color a little bit to the right, making it more vibrant, which you don't really have to worry about the colors since we are working on separate layers. So if in the end you don't really like the color, you can always change it. You can always tweak it a little bit. So don't worry about committing to a chloride. Now, I'll be using this second color in the first row. I'm going to turn on the opacity, the reference image again, 235%. On this new layer here, I'm going to follow the outline of the face. Let's start here. Follow this curve. We'll go down again over here. Chin. Now we need to make sure that the shape is closed before we start filling it. Otherwise, the paint will spill all over. If we turn off the hair layer, you can see that this shape, it's not closed. Let's make sure that it's attached to the outside of our Canvas. Now it is closed, even though the ends don't touch. Let's turn on the hair layer again and fill the face layer. Now the layer is for the other part of the hair and the neck, they should be all layers underneath this layer. Let's first tap the photo again and tap the Plus for a new layer. And then for the color. Let's grab this third color in the first row. Because we're going to do the neck. Let's start here. Make a curved line that makes sure that it is close behind here. Dragging a color to fill it. And now we can move on to the hair. I want that to be on a layer between the neck layer and the head layer. So let's tap the Plus for a new layer. Let's grab the hair color again, that's the first color. And the third row. Let's follow this line going down. Let's leave that area for now. Let's go over here along the neck and make sure that the shape is closed before you drag in the color. To fill it, all we need is a little background color. So let's make a new layer by tapping the Plus, drag that underneath the others. Let's go and grab this fourth color and the first row, but you can use any color you like. Of course. Let's fill the canvas. 5. Adding Shadows to the Face: Next we are going to add shadows and highlights to our vector style portrait. And we're going to do that by using layers that are set to multiply. Let's just get started with the face layer that's later six that's tapped a plus for a new layer. And to make sure that whatever we paint on here, whatever we draw, that it'll only show up on that layer. We're going to set this layer to clipping mask. And now we're going to change the layer blending mode by tapping the end and setting it to multiply. For our brush, we are going to use the monoline brush for the color. We're going to use the same color that we already used for face. You can actually just tap and hold the screen to pick the color. But before we continue, of course, we need to know where we should add those shadows as handy to have that reference image that we picked to half that at hand. You can either have it on a separate screen or you can open a second window in Procreate. To do that, you can go to the Wrench, then to Canvas and then turn on reference. Now a little window will pop up. Now it'll automatically be set to Canvas, which will show a miniature of your work, a zoomed out version. But if you want to grab the photo to reference photo, you need to go to Image and then import the photo into the screen and you can just move it around. You can make it bigger or smaller. Whatever you like. We're going to keep it pretty small. The corner over here, but this way we can identify the shadow areas. For instance, I can see a shadow area underneath the eyebrow. Let's make a shadow area there. Make it pretty big, follow this curve, then dragging the color. And for now it's looking kind of weird, but it'll work out in the end. Let's also add a shadow area here. We're going to make the shadow areas pretty big. For our first pass of shadows, Let's make it a little shadow here. Because we're going to make multiple layers of shadow. This will be our first shadow layer. Let's also add some shadow on the side of the nose. You can see some shadow there. Let's make a shape like this, dragging the color to fill it. There's also shadow on the underside of the nose dragging the color to fill in some shadow over here. You can see I'm just making these shadows bigger as I go. Add a little bit of shadow to the nose here, and some shadow here in the corner of the mouth. Some over here. Some shadow underneath the lower lip. I can also see a dark area on the side of her face. Let's make a shadow area there as well. Dragging the color to fill it. Over here. I can also see some shadow on our forehead. Add some shadow on the underside of her chin for jaw line. I can also see a very subtle shadow beneath those eyebrows. Let's just fill that area as well. Once you have filled in all those shadow areas, you can go to the Layer menu, tap the m, lower the opacity. Let's go for, for instance, twenty-two percent. We're going to make another layer on top by tabbing a plus again, setting this to clipping mask as well and also setting it to multiply. And where are you going to make another layer of shadows. But this time we won't be going over the very subtle areas like that area in-between the eyebrows. We won't be going over there again because that shadow is very subtle. Focus on the areas where we have the darkest shadows like underneath the eyebrow. Dragging the color to fill it underneath the nose is also a pretty dark area. We're going to add another layer of shadow there as well. Here. Also pretty dark. And to identify areas of shadow, it can be handy to squint your eyes as you'll look at your reference image. That way everything will get a little bit blurry, but it'll be easier to identify dark areas and light areas as well. Actually, let's go over to jaw line again. Let's add a little bit more shadow trick. What will make this shape a little bit smaller? Perhaps a little bit more shadow over here. Might be eight small shadow part here. Underneath both lower eyelids. Maybe over here, a little triangular shape. Dragging the color. Now let's lower the opacity again. Tap the M. Go-to, well, let's say 30%. Let's make another layer again, set it to Clipping Mask, set the layer blending mode to multiply. Let's make even more shadows. Let's go over the darkest areas. This really needs to be quite dark. Over here as well. Underneath the nose here. Right now, I'm going to stick with three layers of shadows. You can actually make more and slowly build up areas of shadow for your factual or portrait vectors style portrait. Little bit more underneath the lip here. More underneath the jaw. I'm a smaller shape. Over here. Drag into color. I will again go to the Layer menu, tap the M, scroll to the left. Let's go for 30% again. What you can do to make the shadows a little bit more subtle in some areas is you can go to the layers. For instance, here, layer ten, you can tap that layer and give it a mask. Now on this mask you can paint with black and use the soft brush, for instance. Set it to black by double tapping here at the bottom. And I have the opacity of this brush set to 60%. And let's set the size to twenty-five percent. Going over the areas. You can channel, mask some parts and give it a little bit of a gradient in some areas. You don't have to do this for all the areas. Also make the brush a little bit smaller. Let's go for 3%. For example. I make this area a little bit more subtle. You can create some soft transitions. You can do this for each shadow layer or you can do it for some. Let's stop this one, give it a mask. Let's again go to 25% in size. I make this cheek area a little bit more subtle. Here as well. Working like this with multiple layers of shadows and with the layer masks, you get full control. If you feel like you have masked too much, you can just switch to white paint on the layer mask again and paint some of the shadow back in. Now let's go to the top one. Let's give this one a mask as well. Let's make this a little bit more subtle. To want the shadows around the eyes. I want those to stay pretty crisp. 6. Adding Highlights to the Face: Next we are actually going to repeat this step, but this time we're going to focus on the highlights. So we're going to use the same technique. Let's make a new layer on top. I tap into plus tapping that layer and using clipping mask. But this time we'll set the layer blending mode to screen. We'll still be using the same skin color, and we'll be using the monoline brush again. Now we're going to identify the big areas of light. For instance, I can see a big area of light on her forehead. So let's just make a shape. They're dragging the color to fill it. I can also see a big area of light on her nose dragging a color to fill it. Over here we can see some white her cheek. Definitely see a light on her upper eyelid. Here in the corner. A little bit over here. This side, the upper eyelid is also in the light. A little bit. On the lower eyelid as well. On the cheek. Actually go along the news here. Light there. Little bit of white. Over here. You can imagine the light coming from above hitting these planes. This area over here, the chin area, we can add some light there. Now again, we're going to lower the opacity. So tap the S, scroll to the left. Let's go to twenty-five percent and make a new layer again. Turning on Clipping Mask, setting the layer to screen. I'm adding more highlights. Let's make a smaller shape over here, for instance, just like we did with the cheek. Let's add more lie to the nose. What was it more to the TRC? Making all these shapes a little bit smaller. And the eyelids, of course. Again, let's lower the opacity by tapping the scrolling to the left. Let's go for 25%. Then a final screen layer, tap the Plus, set this layer to clipping mask, tap the N and set it to Screen. Let's add some more light. To the top of these eyelids. To the nose. Perhaps a little bit over here, tiny bit of light, light edge. Some more white in this corner of the mouth. I think this is nice. Let's lower the opacity again. Use the slider, set it to 25%. Now of course again, you can add layer masks to this, to these layers by tapping the layers, adding a mask and using the soft brush set to black. Make everything a bit more subtle. In case you are running into issues with the amount of layers you're using. You can just merge layers that you are happy with. In any case, you can merge the multiply layers and the screen layers with the face layer. But just be sure that you are happy with the layers at that moment. Add a mask on this one as well. You're happy with the layers before you do that because you won't be able to go back. If you are afraid you might regret it, then I would suggest to duplicating your entire project in the gallery and then merging everything, or at least those layers, duplicate project because that way you can always go back to your backup. I've made these layers a little bit more subtle, added a little bit of a gradient. Now I made these layers a little bit more subtle by using those layer masks and adding some sort of a gradient. I am pretty happy with these layers right now. So let me just show you hike emerged them. Let me just pinch them all together from this layer, the base layer to the top screen layer, merge them all together and now everything is on one layer. 7. Shading the Facial Features: Now we're going to apply the same technique that we just did to the neck. Let's add a new layer on top. Cuz clipping mask to clip it to the neck layer. And I'll set this layer to multiply. I want the shadows in the neck to be a little bit darker. So let me use this color instead is the third layer and the third row. Let's not forget to grab the monoline brush. Make a shadow over here. Dragging the color, then lower the opacity. Set it too dark and I see it needs to be a multiply. Where do you opacity to twenty-five percent, then tap the plus for a new layer, set it to clipping mask, then set it to Multiply. Make smaller shadow. Again lower the opacity with this slider, set it to 25%, then another layer by tapping the Plus, set the two clipping mask, the layer blending mode to multiply. And another small shadow. Then lower the opacity again with the slider again, 225%. And there we have the shadow for the neck area. Now let's do the same for the lips. Let's go to the ellipse layer, and it also has the iris on it. Let's tap a plus for a new layer seven to Clipping Mask, turn on, Multiply. Then grabbed and lip color. It's the first color and a second row. We'll use the monoline brush to add a little bit of shadow to the lips. Let's make a shape like this. Close it. Bragging a color. An edge to the bottom here. Dragging the color. A little bit of shadow over here. Drag in a color. Let's also add little edge around the eye. Let's grab this color, the third color in the second row. Let's add a little dark edge around the iris. On both sides. Let's also use the medium brush. Let's grab this color over here to fourth color and the second row. Add a little bit of darkness around the pupil. Then we'll lower the opacity by tapping the m using a slider. Let's set it to 38%. Felt. Make another layer, tap the Plus sedative clipping mask again, set it to multiply. Grab the monoline brush again and the color for the lips. Let's add a smaller shadow shaped at a slightly smaller than the one we just made. One over here. Then dragging the color, fill these areas and I want to grab the eye color, third color, a second row. Just add a little bit more of an edge here. Little bit of shadow. Coming from the top. Follow the curve of the upper eyelid like this. Now let's lower the opacity just slightly. Let's go for 80%. They'll tap the Plus for a new layer. This time we'll make a screen layer first use clipping mask and tap the end, scroll down to screen. And we're just going to use that for the ellipse. Let's grab the ellipse color first color in the second row. Add a little bit of light here. Some over here, drag into color. And we can lower the opacity. It just slightly. Let's go for 60% 8. Detailing the Hair: Alright, now the face is pretty much finished. Let's move on to the hair. Let's zoom out a little bit. You need some space. Once you are happy with these layers, you can actually merge them again to save some space. Merge these neck layers. Now let's move on to the hair in the back first, let's layer eight. Now we won't be using multiply and screen layers here we'll be using a regular layers or you can just work on this layer as well. Instead of a separate layer. What I'll be adding a new one just to, just to be safe, we can always remove it later. And we will be using just a darker and a lighter color. First, let's add the darker color. That's the second color here in the third row, will be using the liner brush. Again. We're going to set the size to 15%. We're going to add these lines for the hair. I'm looking at the dark area on the photo. Adding more of that dark hair over there. Making these swooping motions. You don't eat a lot of individual hairs. It's not like a realism piece. It's a vector style piece. It's okay if it's a little bit stylized, just make the brush a little bit bigger. Forty-five percent. Let's add some more dark strokes here. Goes to the hair, goes to Harris, pretty dark over there. Let's move to the lighter color, that's the third color and the third row. And let's pick 15% in size again. Zoom in a little bit, canal. It's also add these individual hairs that are sticking out. Make some move in this direction. Cover some of these darker hears. Also covered the neck a little bit, have some stray hairs over there. You can also make a brush even smaller 7%. For some of these hairs over here. These wispy hairs flyaway. Something like this is fine. Now let's move on to the hair that is in front of the face. So let's go to that layer, layer five. Let's tap the Plus for a new layer. First, go to the dark hair color again, second color and the third row. Let's set the size to 15%. Let me rotate the canvas a bit. Let's add some dark strokes over here. Go from the outside to the inside because the end of the stroke is nice and thin. Otherwise you'll have that thick part of the stroke near the base of the hair. This way around it looks more natural. Also make some hairs going like this. Perhaps some over here. Our reference image is a little bit in the way. Curved lines towards the forehead. Perhaps a few over here. Let's switch to the lighter color, third color and the third row. Some of that lighter here. And let's also make it a little bit bigger. Forty-five percent over here as well, some bigger strands. Moving from the outside to the inside to get those nice parts. Let's switch to 15% in size. And do the same thing over here. Going from the outside to the inside. More of that hair texture here. Over here. Go over those darker hairs and add more texture with short rounded strokes. Short strokes over here. If I would've used the same technique for the hair as I did with the skin. And I wouldn't have been able to add these individual hairs outside of the hair shape. That's why it's handy to use this technique for the hair. Add some more lighter hairs over here. Perhaps we can use a bit more hairs over here. You can even add more darker hair is more lighter. Harris add even more color variation. Like I said, you can use more shadow and more highlight a layers to build it up even more. And with this technique you have endless, endless possibilities and a lot of freedom and a lot of flexibility. I do realize that the teeth and the white of the eye could use a little shadow. Let's go back to this layer, layer four. Let's tap the Plus for a new layer and add a multiply layer on top set of two clipping mask. And like I said, we have a lot of flexibility. We can just fix it right now Let's go to the monoline brush, 40 eyes. Let's grab the second color. Second row. Now let's first grab this color. It's a reddish color for this corner of the eye. Then let's grab the eye color, second color and the second row. This a little bit of shadow. The top area of the white of the eye here as well. Let's add a little shadow on the top part of the teeth. Now all we need is a little highlight on the eye. Let's make a new layer on top of this one. Tap the Plus. Let's grab white over here to fifth color and the second row, you know what? Let's move that layer to the top of all, of all of the layers so we can actually paint on top of the lines layer. Just add little bit of a highlight here on top, two little dots here as well. 9. Coloring your Lines: And I for a file touch, you can also color the lines layer. To do that, go to the lines layer over here, then slide to the right with two fingers, or just tap the layer and turn on Alpha Lock. Now let's go to the medium brush. For the eyebrows, for example, we can use the hair color to make them more subtle. Let's grab that first color and the third row and go over the eyebrows. We can also make other parts more subtle. Let's make this brush a little bit bigger. 7%. For instance, we can graph this shadow color a little bit brown and go over some of these nose areas. Making those lines stand out a little bit less. You can do the same for an ellipse. Let's grab this dark red and go over the top area of the lips and the lower area as well. Actually, let's do that. That way. You can push these lines back a little bit, making them look more subtle. Let me turn off the reference image by going to the wrench into Canvas and turn off the reference. And there you have your vector style portrait for your class project, it will be great to see your own vector style portraits, use your own photos and apply the techniques that I have showed you during this class. I hope you have enjoyed following this class. Let me know if you did, I would highly appreciate it.
