1. Welcome! :): Hi, my name is Christine
and welcome to this lovely and easy
Procreate course. This course will teach you
how to create a drawing of a beautiful baby
sleeping on a bed of leaves embracing a little buddy. You will learn how to
create diversity by using just one element in combination
with color harmony, this course does not require any prior knowledge
of illustration. You will get detailed
step-by-step guidance. All you need for this
course is the iPad, the Apple pencil, and
the procreate app. If you are ready to have a wonderful time making
this beautiful baby. Welcome to this course.
2. Background: For this wonderful and
simple illustration, you will firstly want to
create a new canvas that has 4 thousand by
4 thousand pixels. This will give you a
lot of space for you to create many
layers of foliage. The color palette you will
use for this illustration is the coffee time color
palette that can be found in the resource
page of the course. The brushes you will need are the textured brush and
the inking album brush. These are two very
beautiful brushes that can be found in the resource
page of the course. For the beginning,
you will want to go to the layers and set
the background color. Let's start this
illustration with a beautiful brown
colored background that stands for a ground color. This color will be
great to give the illustration a very
comforting and safe look. Now going on the first layer, you will want to create
some textures to create a bit of plasticity
to your background. For that, you'll want to grab the textured brush
and from the colors, the dark green from
the top-left side. Now you will increase the size of the brush
so you can easily create something
like a little hole in the middle of the background. This will make a great place for the little boy to lay on
the leaves and feel safe. Let's give a little
bit more color to this little hole in the
background so you can grab the brown from the
bottom left side of the palette and apply
it over the dark green. Use circular motions
to be sure you give a beautiful round shape to
the middle of the background. Now let's rise a little
bit the level of the ground from the sides and bring a bit of
light to the ground. It is very easy to
create these textures. Let's make sure each
of the corners of the canvas gets a little bit of this lighter
neon's of the ground. Just a hint of color
on the sides as well. And now you can lower
the size of the brush and accentuate the
light in the corners. Just little bit will be enough. As you can see, it
is very simple to create a focus point
for the composition. Now the surface of
the background is much less intimidating and it is much easier to imagine how you will display
the next elements. Now that the background is, then you can move
to the next step.
3. Red Leaves: In this step you will create some beautiful red
oak leaves with some very curvy and nice shapes. You can make all sorts of
leaf shapes if you want. You don't have to stick
with the oak leaf shape. So let us start creating
the first leaf for that, you will want to firstly
create a new layer for these leaves and then
pick from the color palette, the beautiful burgundy color
from the middle of it. Then you will want to
pick from the brushes, the elegant Armand brush. Let's increase the
flow to maximum and decreased a little bit of
the size of the brush. Now let's go to the middle and draw a simple vertical line. It doesn't need to be
perfectly straight. Then leaving from near
the bottom of the line, you'll want to move
to the left side and create some beautiful
curves going up, making them larger as
they reach the tape, then you can descend and close the shape with some small
leaflets on the bottom. Now that the shape is closed, let's grab the color from the
corner and fill the shape. After this, you will want to create some highlights
on this leaf. For that, you will pick
from the color palette, the beautiful orange from
the bottom left side, and then picking up the textured kiwi
brushed, round brushes. You will firstly
make a selection of the leaf using the
selection tool. And then you can apply some of these beautiful orange on
the left side of the leaf. Let's increase the flow
and decrease the size to have a stronger contrast
of light on this leaf. Now let's create some
veins for this leaf. For that you will pick from
the brushes, the brush. Now, still having
the leaf selected, you will draw beautiful line
on the middle of the leaf. And now you can create on the sides of the
middle line some little ones that go towards
each leaflet of the edge. Nothing too complicated,
but much more decorative. And with that, you've
finished the first leaf of the illustration in no time, you will have many more of them. So unless firstly, make
a selection of the leaf, dragging the pen to the right until all the selection is made. Now you will press
the Copy and Paste button from the bottom
middle of the panel. After this, with the
move tool selected, you will drag the new leaf on the side so it can be feasible. Now once more you can make another selection
of the new leaf, dragging the pan to the right. This timeless drag the next
leaf on the left side. These duplications
are very easy to do. Now that the three
leaves are duplicated, you'll use the Move tool to make them different
from each other. So starting with the lift
from the right side, Let's set the warp tool
and then you can play with the shape of the
leaf as much as you want, dragging from the corners until it's a bit different
from the others. Now let's see in which
position it could stay. And now you can pick from
the panel the uniform Option and drag it to the
top-left side of the canvas. Let's tilt it a bit more towards the center and drag
it from the edge. Now you will move to the
next beautiful leaf. So you will select the
next leaf from the layers and then you can drag it
so it can be visible. Now as before, let's use the warp tool to change
the shape of it, dragging the lower part inside as well as the
one from the top. Now let's try to
make it look wider. So you will make the base of it narrower and the sides why they're after you are satisfied
with the modifications, you can set the uniform and then pressing the little green
bottom, Let's flip it. And now let's drag it to
the bottom right corner. So it can seem like it's coming outside the little
pouch from the ground. Now let us go to
the last leaf from the layers and now
set on uniform. Let's flip it horizontally. And then let's once more use the warp tool to
play with the shape, making it much more
wider than before, dragging the sides of the
leaf outside the shape. After the leaf is shaped, you can grab it with uniform and rotate it upside down with
the little green button. And then you can drag it
to the lower-left corner. And let's maybe make it a bit smaller and drag it a
bit more to the right. Now that the three
leaves are done, you will want to go
to the layers and merge down the layers
of the three leaves, starting with the
one from the top. And now that all the three
leaves are on the same layer, you will want to duplicate this new layer that
contains all the leaves. Now having one of
the layers selected, you will want to use the
move tool to rotate it. Let's rotate this
layer until they seem to fit a bit more
of this blank space. Now let's drag these
leaves and find them and cozy place to stay a
bit more to the right. And now let's make
them a bit smaller than the others and
less recenter them. As you can see, they create a very nice sense of
diversity through form. Let's change them even more. So you will go to Adjustments, Hue Saturation and Brightness. And you will lower
the saturation and bring down the brightness as well to make these leaves
look much more interesting. Now let's make them a bit
more towards colder nuance. And now the first set
of leaves is finished. Look at how nice
they look together, how beautifully the red leaves integrate into the background. Now let's move to the
next step and create some more of these
beautiful oak leaves.
4. Cold Green Leaves: In this next step, you will create multiple layers of some bluish green leaves. These will make the bed
of leaves seem much more dancer and nicer. For that. Let's create a new layer
on top of the others. After this, let's go to
the colors hand-picked these beautiful middle green
from the top left side. Now, grabbing the album
brush from Inking, you will create a new
shape of oak leaf, starting with the main vein that indicates the
direction of the leaf. And now as before, Let's go to the
bottom left side of the line and create
those curves going up, making a big, beautiful
curved line on top and a couple of
more on the right side. After this, let's fill the shape of the leaf with this
beautiful green. Now as before, you will want to make some beautiful veins. So you will firstly
grab from the colors, the dark green from
the top-left side, and then make a
selection of the leaf. After that makes sure
the brush is ready. And now you are ready to
place that middle vein and some very delicate
shorter lines that leave from the middle line towards
each of the lethal leaflets. Now you will want to
harmonize the color of the leaf with the rest
of the illustration. You will want to grab the
textured keeping brush and then using the beautiful orange from the bottom left
side of the palette, you will place a beautiful light on the left side of the leaf, gradually building the textures
more on the left side. Now let's make the edge from
the right a bit more faded. So you will grab
the beautiful brand from the color palette and you will integrate the edge of the leaf more into
the composition. Just a few passes will
be enough to give it a much more
softer appearance. A bit more of this middle, orange in the middle. And after this, the leaf
is ready to be duplicated. Let's use the Move tool and move this beautiful leaf to
one side of the canvas. Now using the selection tool, you will click on the leaf
and then you can copy and paste the leaf and drag the
new one on the left side. It is so easy to
use these tools, they make the creative process
much easier and relaxing. Now let's use the warp tool to modify the shape
of the last leaf. And then you can
drag the middle of the leaf to the right
to make it wider. This will be a beautiful
and wide leaf. After you are satisfied
with the shape, you can use the free foreign
to make it quite smaller. Now let's tilt it
a bit to the left. Third can sit nicely between the red and the dark
leaves from the top. Now that the second
leaf is placed, you will want to
go to layers and select the layer
of the first leaf. After this, you will go
to the selection tool and right at the bottom copy and
paste the beautiful leaf. And then you can drag it
down so it can be visible. Now let's rotate it
maybe three times. And after that you can flip
it horizontally so you can find a very nice place for it on the lower left
side of the canvas. Let's maybe make it a
bit smaller so it can be different in size from the
red leaf from the left. And this will be the
perfect place for it. Now you have two more
leaves to place. So let's firstly go
to the first leaf. And now using the
selection tool, you can copy and paste once
more the beautiful leaf. Let us drag it to the left
side so it can be visible. Let's make it quite smaller. And now let's use the warp tool to make it much why they're a nicer looking at how cute it looks between
the other leaves. Let's make it nice and
straight and uniform. And now using the
uniform to less red the top of the leaf to
the right to tilt it, let's drag it to the corner
over the beautiful red leaf. And now it's time for the
first leaf to find this place. So let's use the move tool on uniform and drag it lower and place it diagonally so we can indicate towards the
middle of the canvas. Let's make it a bit
smaller and place it right here between
the two dark leaves. Look at how nice and
diverse they live together. It is time to make the bed
of leaves even cause here. So you will firstly go to layers and merge down the layers
of the green leaves. After they are altogether
in one single layer, you will duplicate this layer, so many beautiful leaves. Now let's use the Move tool
and drag the new layer a bit on one side so it
can be more visible. Now let's rotate it
to about 90 degrees, maybe a bit more. And now let's drag this layer to find a nice place
for the leaves. As you can see, if the layer has a greater
number of elements, it can be a bit more difficult
to find that sweet spot. So let's maybe make them a bit smaller and drag
them to the center. Now let's tell them
more to the left. And this could be a very
good place for them. It looks like a good
rhythm of color. After this, you will
go to Adjustments, Hue, Saturation and Brightness. And let's shift
just a little bit the color balance in making
the layer a bit more cold, more saturated, and more dark, this leaves will look
great as a bottom layer. So let's go to the layers
and drag this layer between the two layers
of red heat leaves. Now it feels like the edge of the canvas is still very empty. And more and more leaves are
crowding into the middle. So let's add some more of these beautiful dark green
leaves on the edges. For that, you will need
to go to the layers and duplicate the
original layer. Now you will use the move tool to drag the leaves to the sides. Now let's drag the leaves from
the corners and make them bigger so they can occupy
more of the background. You can tilt them to the right and find the position
for the leaves. Let's drag them a bit more to the center so the leaves can seem like they emerged from the same little
hole in the ground. Now that you have found
the good position for these leaves that will be placed in the back
of the others. Let's go to adjustments, hue, saturation and brightness, and play a little bit
with the brightness, making them a bit more
dark and maybe make them less saturated to
faith in the background. Now, after the color of
the leaves is changed, you can go to Adjustments,
gaussian blur, and now sliding the
pencil to the right, you will blurred these
leaves so they don't attract so much attention
from the center. Just a little bit will be enough to lose a
bit of the focus. Now you will go to the
layers and drag the layer of the last blurred leaves just above the layer of the
background textures. Now after you've put the
leaves on the background, you are ready for the
next beautiful step.
5. Yellow and Green Leaves: In this step, you will create more diversity in
color by adding some beautiful
yellow leaves that will brighten up the look
of the illustration. Let's start by going
to the layers and hide the layers of the
leaf for the moment. So you can have a bit more
space to play with the leaves. After the layers are
not visible anymore, you will pick from the colors, the beautiful orange from
the bottom left corner, and the L against our mom brush. Now let's go to the
Layers and create a new layer for this
wonderful leaves. As before, you will start with a vertical line that goes up. It doesn't need to be
perfectly straight. Now let's leave from the
bottom left side with a line that creates
three beautiful curves. And then you will
add a white one on top and two more
on the right side. Let's make the bass
nice and smooth. And now let's go to the color palette and
pick the brown to create some beautiful veins across the middle and the sides. Let's get a bit closer. And firstly, make a
selection of the leaf. Now let's create
the middle line. And now since smaller
lines going to the little curves of
the edge of the leaf, Let's move to the right
side and do the same. Now you can zoom out and
make some adjustments. Maybe let's make the
line on the top a bit longer and add two
more little lines on the sides of the leaf. It doesn't have to loop
perfectly symmetrical. Now you will create some
beautiful textures, shadows on the right
side of the leaf. So let's grab the light
brown from the bottom left side and the texture
brush from the textures. Now with a medium flow and size, let's slightly apply on
the right side this shadow just a little bit to make the edges a bit more
sweetened, delicate. Just a few passes
will be enough to create a beautiful
gradient look to the leaf. Now you will move to the
left side of the leaf. And with this clean light
that you will apply the Likud light so you can bring a little bit of
luminosity to leave. Just a little bit
will be enough. After this is done,
you can under the selection and
going to the layers, you will reveal all the
other layers of the leaves. As you can see, this yellow leaf will brighten up quite a lot. The look of the illustration. Let's create three of
these leaves so you can play around with their
shapes and position. Now you'll want to make a selection of the
leaf and then you can press the copy and paste bottom from the
middle of the panel. Now let's drag the new leaf on the left side so
it can be visible. Now let's once more make a
selection of the new leaf and press Copy and Paste and drag the new leaf
to the left side. Now that you have the three
beautiful yellow leaves, you can start to play
with their shapes. Let's start with the last one. And using the Move
tool set on warp, you will give this leaf a totally different loop by playing with the
position of the edges, dragging them so the leaf can
look much more different. Now let's flip it
horizontally so the light can come from a
different side of the canvas. After this, you
will drag it with uniform to the right
corner of the canvas. Place it at 45
degrees and then you can hide it a little bit
under the right corner. You can see how nicely it
blends into the background. Now let's go to layers and
drag this layer underneath the other leaf layers just
over the texture background. As you can see, it gives
a nice finished to the corner without making the composition
feel too crowded. Now you will place the second
beautiful yellow leaf. So let's select the layer
and now let's rotate it vertically so it can fit in
the lower side of the canvas. Now let's drag it
with uniform between the two beautiful
bluish green leaves and make it smaller so it can
fit nicely between them. And that covered too much from there, nicely curved edges. And now is the time
for the last leaf. So let's go to the layers and select the layer of the
last and place leaf. After this, let's
use the move tool on uniform to turn it
at about 30 degrees. And then let's make
it a bit smaller and place it nicely just
between these leaves. Just to cover a little
bit of the background, but not create too much
contrast by overlaying beliefs. And now that the
last leaf is placed, you will want to
go to the layers and merge down the last leaf. You can have the last
two yellow leaves on one single layer. After layer of the two
leaves is created. You'll want to
duplicate this layer. After that, you will grab the last layer and
using the move tool, you can rotate the
newly created leaves until they are
displaced upside down. Now let's make them
quite smaller and drag them closer to the center
of the composition. After you have
successfully placed them, you will want to make them of a slightly different neurons. So you will go to adjustments, hue saturation and
brightness and increase the saturation
of these leaves, as well as make them
slightly darker. This will make the composition a bit more diverse and
much more colored. Let's play a little
bit more with the position of the leaves
over the green ones. And now let's use
the warp tool to make them a tiny
bit more different. Look at how beautiful you've
placed them in the middle. Now let's create some more
for this cozy bed of leaves. So let's go to the layers and
duplicate the last layer. After this, let's
grab the leaves with the uniform tool and
move them to the left, rotate them to the right, flip them horizontally,
and try to hide some more of the empty spaces
from between the leaves. Let's use once more the
warp tool to fit them nicely and align them with
the rest of the leaves. As you can see, the leaf colors create a very beautiful rhythm, very creative and harmonious. Now after you found them
on nice place to stay, you will go to adjustments once more and play with
the hue of the layer, bringing the hue to about 60% so the leaves
can appear now green, a very warm and delicate green, not too intense as the
other nuances of green. It looks like these green
leaves compliment a lot, the rest of the colors and the overall look of
the illustration. You will want to multiply
once more than less layer, the one of the green leaves. After the layer is duplicated, you'll use the move tool
to grab the new leads away from the original ones
using the uniform tool, Let's flip them upside down
and make them quite bigger. You'll want to find the place
for these leaves to create the tiny bit of balance
with other green leaves. Now you will go to Layers
and grab the layer between the other ones
because it seems like they cover away too
much from the others. And with this, as you can see, the bed of leaves in much more welcoming and
pleasant to the eye. A little bit of contrast
and color harmony. Let's now move to
the next step and create the main
lines for the child.
6. Drawing of The Baby: In this step, you will create the main lines and the
contours of the child. At first you will create some very simple
shapes, the guide you. So let's go to the
layers and merge the last three layers
so you can have a little more space
for the next ones, these three layers of leaves
from the top we'll sit just perfect together
in one single layer. Let's now go to the top and create a new layer
over the others. Now, before starting
the drawing, you will want to hide all the layers of the
lease so they don't attract too much attention from the drawing you will create. Just leave the background
and the textures. After this, you are ready
to create the drawing. You will firstly grabbed
from the color palette, the dark green from
the top-left side. And now let's grab the
inking our mom brush. For the beginning, you will draw a circle on the top middle side and then an oval on the bottom left side of the
circle, much bigger. Now let's create the circle that stands for the
head of the child. Hold the pencil down until the contour of the
circle is smooth. Now for the body of the child, let's create the oval on
the bottom left side trying to fit it inside the little
hole in the background. You will live from
inside the circle, descend on the left side, and then let's go back on the right side and
close the shape on top. Hold the pencil down until
the shape is formed. And with this, you've created the main shape of the
head and the body. Now, on the right
side over the oval, you will place another
beautiful circle, almost the size
of the other one. Try to make half of this
circle over the oval. This will be the main shape for the bunny from
the baby's hands. So let's move on and
draw the two arms and hands of the child wrapped
around the circle. Let us start with the
one from the outside, creating a curved line over the circle leaving from the
right side of the head. Now let's close the shape
of the hand on the edge of the circle and draw the big thump and the
rest of the hand. Nothing too complicated
for the hands. Let's create the end of the clothing over the
rest of the hand. And now let's grab
the eraser and get rid of the line from
the contour of the bunny. With that, the right arm and
the right hand are finished. Let's move to the inside
of the oval and shape the second arm with two beautiful curves going towards the bottom
of the circle, getting the lines a bit
closer on the bottom. After the arm is done, let's create a little
angle in the back of the head that stands for
the shoulder of the child. Next, on from the
shoulder of the child, you will move them
with the bottom and the front leg of the child. So let's go down with a line, getting outside on the bottom
left side of the oval. Now you will create the
top of the leg on which the bunny and the hands
of the child will rest. So you will live with a curved
line from the bottom side of the oval and then
you will climb up with a wide curve touching the bottom of the
circle and then continue them with
a line half of the distance to the
bottom of the oval. And now let's create
the back of the leg. So you will cut with a
short line the bottom right side of the oval and
link it with the pattern. Now let's continue with
the top of the foot, drawing the straight line
that goes to the right. And then you will go inside
with the sole of the foot. Now you will create
the rest of the leg making a tight angle
with the last one. And now you will create the
second leg from the back, living down from
below the circle, very similar to the other one, starting with a shortening and ending with a
small pointy foot. And with this, you have finished creating the legs of the child. Now you will move
closer to the hand from the left and draw a curved line that
goes behind the knee. After this, let's draw a
line across the curve and the small finger and another little finger for
the other hand. Now, it's time to create
the hair of the child. You will begin with the hairline on the top-left
side of the circle. This line should be half
inside and have outside. From the inside you will live to the bottom
left side with a curved line that
will stand for the hair that goes
around the ear. Next, let's create a C-shape for the little ear of the child. Then from behind the
ear you will live with a curved line that goes up and meets the back
of the hairline. Now you will move
to the right side of the hairline and draw across the forehead of the channeled some short
little hair locks. You can change the direction of the hair lakhs to make
them seem more natural. And now let's close the
shape of the hair on top, living from the end
of the hairline, going along the shape of
the head with a spiky line that closes on the middle
right side of the circle. And now you will
create the features of the little child that you
will firstly wants to grab the eraser and get read on the top of the oval
from inside the circle. Now let's once more grabbed the Amon brush and
create the curved line, leaving from the
bottom of the circle and going up to the top. After this, you will draw another curved line leaving from the back of the
head and going to the middle right of the circle. These lines will help you easily place the
features of the child. Now from below the
intersection of the two lines, you will draw a
V-shape indicating to the right that stands
for the little nows. Now you will create one more
line near the right edge of the circle directed upwards and another one on
the opposite side. These two lines will stand for the eyebrows and
now for the eyes. Let's draw two lines curved down on each side
of the segments. Another line curve
down on the bottom of the vertical line to
signal the little mouth. And with this, you have finished creating the main
lines of the drawing. After this, you will continue with a quick drawing
of the bunny, and you will prepare the
drawing for the colors.
7. Drawing of The Bunny: Now that I've finished grading
the drawing of the kids, let's create a quick
drawing of the Pawnee. This will be very simple to
do and will take no time. So let's get a bit
closer and let's firstly draw the two
ears of the bunny. Let's leave with a top
side of the first year, from the middle left side of
the circle upwards touching the cheek and then closing the shape back inside the head. And now you will create the
second ear on the bottom. After you have finished
creating the ears, you will want to suggest
the head of the bunnies. So you will draw the
cheek of the bunny below the ear from
the right side. And then you will link
the cheek with the ear. Now you will get a bit
closer to the head of the bunny and you will place
a beautiful tiny little, I just like for the kid. Now you will draw under the head a little line that stands
for the front leg. And from below this one, you will create a wide line curved down to signal
the top of the backlog. And with this, the
bunny is almost done. Let's place a tiny beautiful
tail on the bottom side, like a curve going
out the circle. And the drawing of the bunny is finished as well as you can see, the drawing is describing
very nicely the shape of the forums so you can get rid of the lines that are
not useful anymore. So let's start with
the lines from the top of the bunny
from the ears, making that inside of
the ear nice and clean. Then you can move to
the next ear and erase those lines that they serve
the look of the main shapes. Let's get closer to the
lower side of the bunny and the erase the line that
goes across the back leg. And now let's erase the
rest of the line that goes upward in the
back of the ears. Look at how beautiful
that bunny looks without all those
construction lines. Now let's move to the lower
side and erase what's left from the bottom of the circle that is
not needed anymore. Let's move lower
and erase the curve of the oval that
intersect with the leg. Now you can get a little
closer and erase the line from the title little corner going on the bottom and erasing the
line from below the leg. Now you will erase the line
of the oval from inside the shape going on the bottom and the raising the little
line from below the leg. And now you will erase the line of the oval from
inside the shape. And after this, you
can move to the top and start erasing the
lines from the hair, starting with the hair
from the left side. Now you can move
to the right side and the race the
top of the circle. Now let's get inside
the head and erase the two lines that intersect
in the middle of the face. You will clear the forehead and the lines from the
sides of the right eye. Let's erase the line
from underneath the nose and the one
that crosses the ear. Now look at how far
you've come and how beautiful your
drawing looks. Let's get into the next step and create the beautiful
clothes of the child.
8. Green Clothes: In this lab you will create the clothes of the little boy. This is a very simple step. All you need to do is to follow
the drawing from before. So let's start by creating on top of the drawing
another beautiful layer. Then from the colors
you will grab the beautiful middle green
from the top-left side. Now let's get closer
to the shoulder of the child and start
tracing the clothes. Let's place a beautiful
curve for the shoulder. And now you will move lower and retrace the contour of the hand, starting with the top side, adding a small line
at the end and now creating a beautiful line
over the bottom of the arm. Now let's move the
canvas so it can be easier to create the
line of the back. And then let's move once again the canvas and continue
with the bottom of the leg. Now you will move
further and draw the top of the leg with
a beautiful white curve. Now let's draw the back of
the leg and the front of it, closing the shape of the leg with a beautiful V-shaped foot. Now let's create the
contour of the second leg, drawing the sole of the
foot and then the top. Now you will have to
be careful to close the shape of the leg around
the shape of the bunny. So let's give closer
and make sure that shape is nicely
closed on top. After this is done, Let's move higher and create the drawing of the left arm closing the
rectangle like shape on top, right where it meets
the ear of the bunny. After this, let's once more
makes short the shape of the close is close on the chest and the round
the head as well. Make sure all the
contour is closed. After all the counter is done and the shape of the
clouds is closed, you can go to the
color palette and pick the beautiful light green
from the top left corner. Now you can grab the color from the corner and fill the
shape of the beautiful body, feeling the food and the
arm from the right as well. After the shape of the
clothes are filled, you will want to create some highlights over the
left side of the body. For that, you will want to firstly make a selection of it. Then let's grab the beautiful
Kimmy brush from textures, from the color palette, the beautiful light gray
from the bottom right side. Now let's put the size and the flow to the
middle of the slide, or maybe making
the size smaller. And now you will start to build some beautiful highlights on the left side of the
body over the back. And now let's move
to the shoulder and gradually create some light
on the left side of the arm. Being careful not to
get outside the shape. You can stick with the middle of the highlight to accentuate
this luminosity. Now let us move
lower and accentuate the light from the back
just a little bit. And now let's place a beautiful highlight
on the top of the leg. Trying to stick with
the shape of the leg, making the highlight
why they're on the bottom and thinner as
it goes up on the leg, closer to the knee. Let's move higher once more. And the century the light from the shoulder and make
it much more uniform. And with this, the main color of the clothes and the first
highlights are finished. Let's move to the
next step and create some beautiful gradient
shadows over the clothes.
9. Clothes Highlights and Shadows: In this step you will create
some beautiful highlights and some delicate shadows over the blue
clothes of the baby. So let us start this step by placing some beautiful shadows. For that, you will use
the selection tool set on free hand to isolate the places where you
want to create shadows. The first place starts from where the light
ends on the thigh, and then it goes
on the contour of the two legs carefully
surrounding them. This will help you
keep the shadow only inside the shape you
are drawing with your pen. At the end, you can
close the shape in the same place and
move to the next one. This will be placed
on the belly of the child between the arm
and the leg from the bottom. So try to select this shape, keeping the contours outside
the shape you are selecting. Now moving to the
chest of the child, you will create a new
selection like a trapeze going down on the arm and then surrounding
the head of the bunny. And after this, you can
close the shape on top. Now that all these
selections are done, you will use the
beautifully textured brush and the dark green
from the top left side to create some very soft
and beautiful textures over the two legs of the child. Using a very low flow. Just a few passes
will be enough to create some beautiful
and delicate shadows. Now going from inside the
belly to the outside, you will build some of these beautiful dark textures creating more on the
right side of it. Now, moving to the chest, you will create another shadow, making it a bit more intense as it moves
to the right side. A little bit more of this beautiful texture
on the two legs. And now we're getting closer to the arm from the right side. You will firstly want to
make a selection of it. Now let's create some beautiful dark textures on this arm, not too dark, just
like the other ones. After this, you will
under the selection and make a selection of the
whole shape of the clothes. Now let's grab from the brushes, the beautiful and
elegant our mom brush. And after this using
the same color but with a very low
flow to about 15%, you will start from
the bottom width, the same very delicate shadow
without lifting the pen. So let's create the first, following the shape
of the leg and then descending on
the rest of the legs. Don't forget, don't
lift the pen. Now moving to the
chest as default, not lifting the pen, you will start creating the
shadow from the edge with a hand and then beautifully filling the rest of the chest. Let's add over the arm from the right some of these
beautiful shadow. And after this you will move lower and without
lifting the pen, you will create another
shadow over the leg from the back to accentuate the shadow on that
part of the body. Now, being careful not
to cross the contours, you will place a little
shadow on the right side of the belly and another
smaller shadow over the chest of the child. And after this, the
shadows are done. Let's now create some
beautiful light spots over the left side of the body. So you will firstly go
to the color palette and pick the clean y's
from the top right side. Now, let's lower the
flow a little bit more and getting closer to the
left side of the baby, you will add a beautiful
highlight over the arm, maybe twice, making sure you
don't go over the contours. Now, you will create a
beautiful white light over the back and the thigh of the kids without
lifting the pen, Let's start creating
this transparent light, leaving some of the
green-blue from underneath, still visible on the right side. And now let's carefully move to the right side and create
an oval highlight, leaving a stripe of
the green from before, distant from the shadows. Now you have three
beautiful new answers of this wonderful
blue from underneath. Now you can move
to the next step and create the hair
of the little boy.
10. Hair of The Baby: In this beautiful
and simple step, you will create the
hair of the boy. So let's firstly unselect
the clothes of the boy and now grabbing the brown from the bottom
of the color palette, you will get closer to the head. This hair will be located on the same layer
as the clothes. Now using the brush and
setting the flow to 100% and lowering the
size of the brush, you can start to outline
the shape of the hair, starting with the left side
on the back of the hair. Now let's move to
the front and create a little zigzag for
some hair locks. And now leaving
from the hairline, you will go towards the ear
with some delicate locks of hair just to create a little bit of structure over the
surface of the hair. After the left side of
the Harris finished, you can move to the
right side of it and create a beautiful outline
on the top of the hair. Let's move the canvas to create the ones from the
forehead as well, making that zigzag line that reminds of some
beautiful hair locks. Let's add two more
beautiful lines at the base of the hair. And after this, you can
move the canvas and create some beautiful lines
across the hair of the boy. You will make these lines
living from the hairline and expanding outside
the shape of the hair, giving them a curvy looks. So the hurricane seem
like it has volume. Now let's proceed and
close the shape of the hair on top with
another zigzag line. Now the outline of
the hair is finished. You will now want to give it a different color than outlines. So let's pick these
beautiful light brown from next to the other one. And now let's drag the
color from the corner and fill the inside of
the shape of the hair. Look at how beautiful it looks now that you have filled
the entire shape. Now that the shape is filled, you will want to make a
selection of the hair. So let's use the selection tool and grab the shape of the hair. Now to create some
beautiful shadows, you will once more grabbed
the brown from before, decreasing the flow to about twenty-five percent and increasing the size
of the maximum, you will create some
beautiful curved shadows on the right side of the hair, starting with a white one and
then adding one more over the other and in front of it and another one on
the right side. Very easy to give a feeling of volume using transparencies. Now you will move
to the left side over the little hairs
and do the same. This time may be making the shadows a bit
smaller and restrained. As you can see, there
is a little spot of light over the
hairline of the boy. So let's accentuate that
beautiful luminosity. Let's grab from the
color palette the beautiful or in front of
the bottom left side. And increasingly little
bit of the flow of the brush and decreasing
the size you will leave from the hairline with
some highlights over the hair locks covering just a little bit of the
top of the hair locks, just a little bit of this
orange will be enough to make the hair seem
much more shiny and nice. With that, this step
is done as well. Look at how beautiful
those hair locks loop just with a couple of
simple transparencies. Let's move to the
next beautiful step.
11. Face of The Baby: In easy step, you will grade
the face of the little boy. For that. You will firstly, wanted to get a little
closer and grabbing the beautiful brown from the color palette and
bringing the flow to maximum, you will start to create
the counter of the face. Let's start with the
beautiful air from the left. And now you will move the canvas and create the beautiful
shape of the face. Starting from below the ears, crossing over a little bit
the color of the clothes. Now let's change
the angle and close the shape on the right
side of the face. Moving to the features
of the little boy, you will create the two
little eyebrows of the boy. And now let's create the two beautiful curves that stand in for the
shape of the eyes. Let's now create the nose, making the line from the top
a little longer and curved. And now let's create
the beautiful curve of the mouth as well. Now let's reveal the
beautiful features of the little boy filling the shape of the face with this light nuance of
patch from the bottom. Now you can grab once
more of the brown and make some adjustments
of the drawing. So it can seem a bit more nicer. Take your time to create
these adjustments. After this is done, you will create,
as for the hair, some beautiful shadows on
the right side of the face. For that, you will want to firstly make a
selection of the face. Then using the darker nuance of badge from the top of
the color palette, you will want to
decrease the flow of the brush and increase
the size of the maximum. Now, following the
round shape of the head and not
lifting the pen, you will create a beautiful
shadow on the face. Letting some of the color of
the face on the left side. Let's place one more stripe of this shadow getting
closer to the right side. Now let's place a beautiful
shadow on the left side of the ear and the shadows
of the face are done. Let us now get a bit
closer to the ear, increase the flow of the
brush and decrease the size. Now let's grab the beautiful
dark nuance of badge and place a beautiful curve over
the surface of the ear. After this is done, you will want to make a selection
of the brown contour of the face and the hair so you can play a little bit
with its color. Let's pick the
selection tool and grab the beautiful
features of the kid. And now, after all the features are selected and
the hair counter, you will want to grab
from the color palette, the beautiful dark green, and from the brushes, that beautiful textured brush. Now let's decrease the flow of the brush and increase the size. And now you can play some of these shadow on the
right side of the head, making the contours a
little bit more dark. Just a little bit of
this texture will be enough to increase the
contrast of the features. Now you will want to diminish a little the contrast of
the hair on the left. So you will grab from the color palette,
the beautiful orange. And then you will place just a little bit of this texture over the
left side of the head. And with that, the hair and the face of the little
boy are finished. Look at how beautiful it shines and how peaceful the face looks. And with this, you are ready
to move to the next step.
12. Hands of The Baby: This little step will be
very simple and easy to do. As for the phase, you will have to color the
hands of the little boy. For that, Let's move closer to the two little hands of the boy. And then going through
the color palette, you will pick the beautiful
brown that was used previously for the contours
and choose from the brushes, the elegant and very
useful our mom brush. Let's decrease the size of
the brush a little bit. And now you will go and retrace the outline
of the little hands, making sure you
close the shapes. Let's get closer to the
hand from the left as well. And draw the bottom of the hand. And let's close the
shape of the sleeve. Now you will create
the top as well. Let's not forget
the little lines that describe the fingers. And now the counter of the hands are ready
for the main color. So let's grab from the color palette the
beautiful light patch from the bottom and fill the shape of the right and the
left hand as well. Let's get closer
and fill the shape of the little finger
from right there. Now after the hands
are filled with color, you'll want to make a selection
of the two little hens. And after this,
you can grab from the color palette
the darker nuance of patch from the top. Decreasing the flow of the
brush and increasing the size. You will place on the left hand a little bit of the shadow
on the right side of it, making as for the
phase of the child through or three
passes of this shadow, making a beautiful gradient. And with that, you have finished
grading the little boy. It is time for the creation
of the little bunny as well.
13. White Bunny: In this step, you will create the base color of
the little bunny. For that, you will want to go on the same layer as the boy. Then you will want to pick
from the color palette, the gray from the
bottom right side. Let's get a little
bit closer and increase the flow of
the brush to 100%. Now you will begin to retrace
the features of the bunny, starting with the head
and climbing up on the big ear from the left and contoured the
whole shape of it. Now, let's shave the
beautiful second year. And after this is done, you will get closer to the face and trace the beautiful
cheek of the bunny. And now let's make
sure the shape is closed on the left
side of the head. After this, you will
move lower and create the contour of the bunny with the rest of the
hand of the point. Now let's place a
little line to shape the front leg and the beautiful curve that stands for the top of the backlog. Now you will get a bit closer to the bottom of the bunny
and trace his little tail, making the line of the back a little bit more thicker
on the top side. Then you can move higher and make the contour
of the hand, making sure you leave some of the brown control of the
hands still visible. Try to trace the gray
line along the brown one. Let's now close the whole shape of the bunny on the back of it. And now let's take another
color from the palette. Let's say these brown to signal the little
eye of the bunny. After this is done, you will want to fill with
color the shape of the bunny. For that, Let's grab this
beautiful wild from the top. And now let's drag the
color inside the shape. After this is done, let's maybe grab another
color for the eye, the same beautiful gray
of the counter and drag the color inside
the shape of the eye. Look at how beautiful
they look together. As you may see, the color of the bunny is a little
bit too plain. After you have placed the
main colors of the bunny, you can move on and create some beautiful shadows over it. For that, you will want
to make a selection of the white color of the bunny
and the contour as well. Now, grabbing the Amon brush and the beautiful
gray from the bottom, you'll want to
decrease the flow to about 20% and increase the size. Now as for the clothes
and the face of the boy, you will grade some
overlaid shadows to create a delicate gradient
on the right side of the bunny following
the shape of his body. Let's move up on the two
little ears and make sure you cover with this delicate shadowed the bottom
side of them, moving closer to the face, Let's add one more shadow
on the chick at the end. Let's create two more shadows
over the back of the bunny, making a delicate gradient. A little accent of this color on the two
tips of the ears. And the bunny is done as well. Let's move to the
next step and create some adjustments of the bunny and the body of the little boy.
14. Bunny Color and Reposition: In that the baby boy and the beautiful bunny her complete, you'll want to create some
delicate adjustments for that. You will need to firstly, make a selection of
the little bunny. After the bunny and selected, you will go to Adjustments, Hue, Saturation and Brightness. And now you will want to
decrease the brightness to about 45% and increase the
saturation to about 65%. This will make the
bunny look much more integrated into
the illustration. Now that the main color of
the bunny is a little darker, it's time to play with some delicate highlights
over it's beautiful for you. We'll grab from
the color palette, the beautiful wide from the top. And now grabbing
the textured brush, you will play some
of these clean white on the top of the head, letting it gradually
built over its left side. You can lower the size of
the brush and start to move some of these highlight over the top of its big ears as well. Try to create a beautiful
and uniform shape for this textured highlight. Now you will use the selection
tool on free hand to draw a beautiful shape
over the top of the backlog surrounding
only the light gray. And now you can
grab the brush and apply some of these
delicate texture highlight. Now, Let's move to the ears and using the same freehand
from the selection tool, you will draw a shape
on top of the ears. Just so it can be
easier to create a clean highlight without
getting the edges messy. After this, the highlights of
the bunny are done as well. Moving on in this step, you will want to play
a little bit with the position of the shape
of the boy and the bunny. For that, you will select the Move tool and then
using the warp tool, you will want to drag
inside the square, playing with the
bottom-left corner and drag outside the left
edge of the square. You will want to
make the back of the little boys
slightly more curved. Let's bring lower the head and drag to the left the
middle of the square. Let's lower the top edge of the rectangle to make the head smaller and maybe make
the bag even more curved. Now let's pull out a little bit more the bottom left corner of the rectangle and bring a little bit more inside
the right edge. As you can see now, the boy and the
little bunny fifth, so much better the round
shape of the composition. Now let's use the move to on uniform to place them
over the middle. And after this, you are
ready for the last step.
15. More Leaves and Shadows: In this last step, you will want to place the little boy on
top of the leaf bed. For that you will play
a little bit more with the layers of the foliage
and with their position. The first thing you will
do is to go to layers and make all the layers of the
beautiful leaves visible. After you have rebuild
all the layers, you will want to fill
the empty spaces from the size of the canvas. For that, you will want
to go to the layers and duplicate the last
layer of the leaves, the one with many
beautiful colors. Now you will use the move
tool to flip the layer horizontally and then
making the canvas smaller, you will want to tell
the layer until you find the position in which the leaves cover more
of the background. It seems like this
position is perfect. Let's go to the layers and drag this layer below all the others. Place it just above the
textured background. After this width,
the layer selected, you will go to Adjustments, Hue, Saturation and Brightness. And now you will want to
read the brightness of the layer to about 40%
and the saturation to about the same as
you can see now the illustration looks much
more complete and decorative. Let's move a step further and duplicate the last
layer you've graded. It seems like there is no more space left
for another layer. So let's go and merge down some of the
leaves from the top. Let's merge these two layers of the dark red leaves
and the green leaves. And now you can go back to the last layer and duplicate it. After the new layer is
created and selected, you will use the move tool to reposition the new
layer in other place. It can cover more
of the background. You will flip it horizontally. And now let's still dispositions or the layer
won't since symmetrical. It looks like this position is covering a good amount
of the background. Now you can use the warp tool to play with the edges
of the layer and drag them outside to get rid of those straight lines left
from the edge of the canvas. And with this, all the leaves are placed and the boy looks very happy surrounded by
so many colorful leaves. For the end, you
will want to create a very important detail that will make the boys stand
out from the leaves. For that you will go to
the layers and merge down the last two layers
to make some space. Now you can move to the
top and delete the drawing of the child because it
is not needed anymore. Now below the layer of the boy, you will create one more layer. On this layer, you will create some beautiful textures
with the brush. Let's grab it and
lower the flow of the brush and increase the size. Now you will pick from
the color palette, the beautiful dark green
from the top-left side. Now with this green, you will create a delicate
shadow underneath the child. Let's increase the
flow of the brush and continue going around and outside the edge of
the boy's body to create the beautiful
shadow underneath him. Look at how much better
the boy looks now, just a little bit more of this dark shadow and the illustration, It's
almost finished. This shadow since
a bit too dark, so you can grab the
brown from the bottom of the palette and apply
it over the dark green. Use circular motions to keep
the shadow nice and uniform. Just a little bit of this
brown over the dark green. Now atlas, you will go back to the first
layer of the textures. And then using the
same beautiful brown, increasing the size
and the flow of it, you will want to make the
background a bit more dark as its colors stands
out a bit too strong. Let's diminish the luminosity
of the corners and focus on making the spots from between the leaves
much more darker. If you want at the end you
can use a little bit of the dark green as well to give a colder ten to the shadows. This will make the
red color of the leaf stand out much more beautifully. With this, the
illustration is finished. Congratulations on
creating your illustration and thank you for
taking the course. If you enjoyed it, make sure you share your
artwork and leave a review. Thank you once more
for your interest in art and see you in
the next course.
