1. Introduction: Hi, everyone. It's FSketcher Skillshare class, and I am Aliya. This class is dedicated to drawing a fashion figure in which we're going to use at Procreate, which is a very powerful and easy to use iPad application. We're going to learn how to draw a face scheme, which will let you draw so many different faces. We will also learn how to draw a body scheme that will let to draw different fashion poses. We'll draw a face and body features, learn how to make a clean line work, and eventually we'll learn how to color the body and draw basics swimwear. This class is designed for anyone who's interested in fashion illustration, fashion design students, and actual fashion designers. I tried to break this course so it's clear and easy to follow. If you have any questions, you can always ask in the discussion boards. I will be very happy to see your final works, and let's create something beautiful together. 2. Lesson 1: FACE SCHEME: To draw a face, I need to draw a face schema. For that, I'm picking A4 size paper and HB pencil that you can find in the painting tools. Just pick some dark gray. Let's start drawing a circle. If you draw any circle and just tap your screen, you'll get a perfect circle. Then go to Actions menu and in Canvas, pick drawing guide and pick Edit Drawing Guide to customize your grid. So I pick 2D Grid, and in the grid size instead of 111, I'm picking 124. Next I'm going to use transformation tool and just increase my circle, decrease it depending on how you drew it, so it's five squares in width and length. Next, draw a vertical line, and if you just hold your pen on the screen, then it become straight. I have it exactly in the center of my circle and I'm dividing this area inside of the circle by three, and drawing this horizontal line across this lower division. Next, pick the selections tools and exactly freehand selection, and just select this upper segment above the horizontal line inside the circle. Next, go to Actions Menu, and in the Add section, select Copy. Then go to the same Actions Menu, add and then paste. We have the segment duplicated. I'm dropping it below this horizontal line, and then going to layer's, picking that, inserted image and merging it down so we have everything on one layer. I can now take the eraser and just get rid of this part of the line. The lower division is going to be our chin. Next division at the bottom of the circle is nose. Next division was the horizontal line is for the eyes. Next, what we need to do is to draw two vertical lines on both sides to make our head flatter on the sides. This distance between two vertical lines, I'm going to divide it by two. Two halves on both sides of its, I'm dividing by two as well and making this dots. Please repeat the process on the other side as well. Next, I'm going to label these dots. You don't have to do that. I'm doing it for the sake of explanation. We have dot number one, and dot number two, those are the corners of the eyes. I need to draw the inner corner of the eye a bit below this horizontal line. I'm doing the same on the other side just a little bit. I'm going to erase those numbers. We don't need them. You can just shorten that division for the center of the eye. Next let's draw her nose. Nose looks like an upside down triangle with rounded corners, I'll draw the bigger version. It's a little bit like a cat nose. Next, please divide the distance between her nose and chin by three, and we need this upper division, that's opening of the mouth. I'm drawing her nose bridge. Imagine that you want to draw a heart starting from her nose bridge, I'm going up. Then I'm trying to reach this intersection between the vertical line and the circle and trying to be as close as possible to the circle, and just try to reach her mouth. Then I'm drawing this diagonal line. It has very subtle slope, and then we have these turn at the level of her mouth. This is how we show her jaw line, like really sloped line, you can see it, and just connecting it with the chin. Now, I'm picking the eraser. I'm going to erase everything on the left side. Then go to selections, pick the free hand selection tool, select the half of the face, go to Actions Menu, copy, paste, and then we have this flip horizontally tool or action and just flip that half and align it. Then merge that inserted layer with the layer below it. We have everything on one layer. Our face scheme is ready and we're going to draw facial features in the next lesson. 3. Lesson 2: FACE DRAWING: In this lesson, we're going to draw facial features. Let's call this layer face scheme with which we can draw so many different faces. Let's decrease the opacity. I'm just clicking on that N letter and then making opacity around 40. Swipe the layer to the left and lock it so we don't draw anything accidentally on top of it and create a new layer. I'm picking studio pen. You can pick actually any pen or pencil that you like because this is a draft. We'll have line-work later. I'm connecting out the corner of the eye with the inner corner of the eye. Pay attention to the curvature on the lines. You can use a reference image. For example, here you can see that we have different lines, different shapes depending on the eye that we want to draw. You can just follow me, and we can draw some similar model, and then you'll experiment with different reference images. Now I'm drawing her eyebrow following that heart shape. You don't need to draw specific hair right now. We'll draw all of the textures later. Just define the thickness of the eyebrow and the general shape of it. Adding some eyeliner. I think eyeliner makes it pretty. I'm creating extra layer for the nodes, you don't need it. Pay attention to these lines. Quite flat diagonal, and it reaches the center of your eye. Then it becomes curved and just connects to the outer corner of the eye. Then we have one more diagonal line, but it doesn't reach the center. It's quite short. Then we have these flat wave that is stretched to the inner corner of the eye. This is specific for this eye that I'm drawing. I'm deactivating the nodes, and let's start drawing her nose. For that, I'm just following the line below that triangle and then adding nostrils on the sides. In some way, it just looks like a handle of a bicycle. If you have a problem with the symmetry, you can copy one-half, past it, and flip it horizontally. Here you can also see that you can use a reference image, draw different nostrils, and also draw your triangle based on the shape of the nose. It can be a bit taller or it can be flatter depending on the nose that you want to draw. Next, I'm drawing this line between her lips as a wave and then the shape of her lips. I want to make it more rounded without sharp corners. The lower lip usually a bit thicker than the upper lip. The heart shape is dictating me how to draw the cheekbones. If you don't want too prominent cheekbones, you can draw them a bit flatter. The ears, I'm start drawing them at the eyebrow level and finish approximately at her nose level. For her jawline and her skull, you can just follow the shape of that face scheme. Now I want to change lightly that line between her lips, make it a bit flatter, and add some details to her ears. Now with the freehand selection tool, I'm picking everything except for her nose because I drew her nose for both sides. Then go into Actions menu, Copy and then Paste. Flipping horizontally and aligning with the right side. Since the left side is copied and pasted, let's merge it down so it's on one layer with the face drawing. Now we have everything on one layer. One hand detecting to check the symmetry of your face, just go to transform tool and flip your face horizontally. I have obvious problem with the symmetry of her nose. I'm going to erase nostrils and just redraw them a bit differently. I don't want perfectly symmetrical nose, so I'm just very softly fixing it and erasing a bit the bottom of her nose so it's not that dark. But at this step, it's not really important really. Next, I'm activating the face scheme and drawing her pupils and iris. As you can see, one-third of the pupil and iris is hidden under her upper eyelid. Let's take a look. I like it so far. There is one extra very useful tool. We go to adjustments menu, and it's called liquify. Just pick the size of the brush that works for you, and you can reshape anything, basically. You're pushing pixels. For example, I want to make the top of the head a bit longer and the sides of the head a bit narrower so her head is not too wide in the upper half. You can also change the shape of your lips, eyes, anything. It's really handy tool, so you don't have to redraw everything to maybe get the exact shape of the jawline or ears as you want. We have our facial features ready. I'll delete this layer, and let's call this layer face base. In the next lesson, we're going to learn how to build the body scheme, and after that, we'll draw the actual body. 4. Lesson 3: BODY SCHEME: [MUSIC] I have the same project from the previous lesson, head scheme and head base. Let's go to the gallery and select this project and duplicate it. We have one file saved with a face scheme. I'm using this copy and I'm going to delete face scheme because I need only face right now. Now go to actions menu and activate the drawing guide. I'm going to use the same grid of 124 pixels. I'm increasing the opacity just to make it clearly visible for you. You don't need it that dark if you don't want to. Select Transform tool and pick the Uniform transformation, so it's exactly three squares. I'm placing it in the middle, so It has these line dividing the face in two. I'm creating extra layer for the nodes. You don't need it. I'm going to use it to explain the proportions. In this course, I've decided to talk about proportions of the body in terms of units instead of heads, as very often it's done. I don't know why in fashion figure because head is an ellipse and it's huge. It's not very convenient for the measurement. If we use this exact grid, we have 26 squares. Each square is equal to one centimeter in lens or a 0.4 inches if you want to draw this figure on actual A4 paper. Twenty six squares means that midpoint is 13 squares. But where going to have the crotch at 12, which means that the upper body is a bit short. If you are not so much into all these measurements, you can just draw the legs longer than the upper body. Let's create our first layer. I'm peaking HB pencil of dark gray. At five squares. I'm going to draw these hole that we have at the base are our neck, juggler points. I'm connecting two diagonal lines to it, stretching them from that approximately center of the jaw line, creating extra layer. Now I'm drawing a trapezium. On the top, we're going to have five square in length. Then the height is going to be fours squares. The bottom, we're going to have three squares in length. Next, create one more layer. I'm drawing upside down trapezium, the same one, but the only difference is that the height is going to be only three squares. We have now three on the top and five at the bottom. It's important to know which side is going to have the front leg. Let's say on our right side is going to be our stepping front leg and on the left side is going to be our back leg. It means that the hip is going to be higher on the side of the front leg, we will have this inclination of the slope. The hip is a bit higher than the crotch. The shoulders will be just opposite version of the hip line with a very similar slope. We're drawing it a bit higher than that hole that we drew in the beginning. I want just to make this one more inclined and, let's define the center to find the crotch. The crotch will be on the side of the front leg, in relation to that central line. Also let's draw that central line at the bottom to locate her from foot. The front foot will be exactly in the center. That's how we draw it. Taking the upper trapezium and locating it so its center is aligned with the center of that juggler point. Then taking this bottom trapezium and aligning it with the crotch. Taking this upper one and make sure that you have these free-form transformation, because we want only to change the height. I want to just have some distance between your ribs and your pelvic bone here. I want to rotate it a little bit. Just so everything is positioned well in relation to each other. I'm coming back to notes and just i want to erase everything that is not necessary anymore. Creating one more layer and drawing your spine, just make very smooth curve that connects your neck with your crotch. One more layer. I'm creating this point at her pelvis and connecting it do with your foot. This is our front leg. Our knee on the straight leg is going to be at 17 squares, creating one more layer and drawing. Now the knee that is going to be lower because is just bent, is positioned lower. Drawing your foot. Now I'm just erasing all my notes. That's how it looks without side notes. This is how it looks without the drawing guide. Let's select all these layers by swiping them to the right and group them. Then duplicate that group and then just flatten the first group. We have our scheme ready on one layer. Let's call it body scheme. Deactivate this one. Let's come back to our new group that we made. I made all these parts separately with a purpose because now I want to manipulate them. I deactivated your spine because you can just delete it. We don't need a curve. Now she's going to stand straight. I am putting all these trapezium shapes, so they are just straight. Now I see that my front foot is actually on the layer with my back leg. Let's just merge down the two layers that are made for the legs and erase the back leg and rotating this leg. I also don't need that crotch. Let's position it properly. Then I'm going to Actions menu, copying it, pasting, and then flipping it horizontally. Let's just rotate both legs a little bit. When you draw legs like this, with this scheme, you'll have some space between her legs and it looks more, I don't know. I think it looks nicer. Rather than drawing your as a soldier. In the next lesson we're going to draw the actual body shape for the walking figure. But you will be able to draw standing figure as well. I will also provide some references in the materials for this class. We are actually very close to building and finishing our model. [MUSIC] 5. Lesson 4: BODY DRAWING: We're starting drawing her body, please log the body scheme layer. Also, decrease its opacity to around 40 and create new layer above it. Ignore all those layers that I have in this project because I just showed this video before. For now, you need only face base, body scheme, and this new layer for the body drawing. We're starting with the jugular point, that hole at the base of the neck and then I'm drawing her collarbone. You can see it's at the angle and then we use our freehand selection tool, I'm selecting that collarbone, go into Actions menu copying and pasting, and then flipping it horizontally and then aligning it with relation to this trapezium. Then merging down this collarbone, with the layer of a buddy drawing, starting drawing your neck and we have this curve. This is how shoulders look like at those corners. Imagine that you are drawing top of her body. We're just cutting her shoulders and drawing this ribcage that's close to your waistline and your pelvis, and then it's close to your hips. Pay attention to this protrusion. It's not just rounded, it has this prominent part. I'm creating extra layer and drawing circles. You can draw a circle of any size for your breasts. Pay attention to the distance from her collarbones bones to your breasts. Your breasts are not too high, then I'm duplicating that layer and positioning it on the left. I'm merging down this layer and the breast with the body drawing as well. Taking the eraser tool and getting rid of everything that I don't need anymore. We're going to have the line work, so don't worry about being very clean, this is sort of a draft. Drawing the side of your breasts, showing your armpits and doing the same on the left side. I want to make your ribcage a bit narrower so I'm erasing it and redrawing. This body scheme is a guide. You can make certain body parts wider on there, where as you want. This is how it looks without body scheme, I like it so far, but I want to drop your breast, left side breast a little bit, maybe like this. Then I'm drawing these lines from the edge of your pelvic bone to your crotch, then around her knee, I'm drawing one line that looks like a bracket and the outline that is just flat. I need to connect her hips with her knees. You can see that keeps our curved on the top and flat at the bottom. I'm drawing the inner line of her thighs, that looks like a wave. I'm adding this nodes just to make it clear, and here you can see the upper half is curved and the lower half is flat. Let's draw the part of her leg below her knee. First I'm drawing her bone then the outline you can see it's quite curved and then we have a flatter inner line. Let's make her knee more prominent on the inside. If we divide this part of her leg in two, you can see that upper half is curved and the lower half is flat, just as in the case of your thigh. It works in the same way for your inner line. We have these bones at the ankle and the inner bone is higher than the outer bone. I'm just continuing that bone line. The inner line of her foot is parallel to it and the outer line is almost vertical. Let's get rid of all of these structure lines. Adding details to your knee, and let's draw your back leg. We're drawing the thigh in the same way. I'm drawing the bone of your lower leg. Since we're looking at your bent leg at the ankle, it will be a bit distorted. It will be still more curved in the upper half and flat in the lower half if we're talking about this outer line but it will be more curved. The foot also will have a bit different shape, it will be longer because we're looking at your foot from the top. Just like in this example, you can see, we have one foot with the top view and one foot with the front view. Getting rid of everything that is unnecessary and creating extra layer for the arm structure. Take a look at this image. On the right side, the leg is at the front, but your arm is at the back and is much closer to your body. Whereas on the sides with the back leg which is bent, the arm is in the front and it's positioned further to the side from the body. We have our front leg on the right side and I'm drawing your arm at the back and closer to your body. Her elbow will be a bit lower than your waist and your wrist will be at 13 squares just in the middle of your body. I'm duplicating the layer with this arm structure and flipping it horizontally. Now let's rotate it, because this arm is located a bit further to the side from her body. I'm merging this layer with the previous one. We have arm structure on one layer, and I'm decreasing the opacity of it and creating extra layer on the top, so we start actually drawing the arms. I'll start from the lower half of your arms because it has very easy shape of a carrot. Just want to reshape it a bit, then duplicate this layer with the transform tool, a little bit horizontally and align it with that bone structure on the right. I'm erasing everything that is behind your hips, merging down those layers with carrots, connecting shoulders with this elbow part. You can see that area was below the shoulders, see it's a bit prominent, and then arm becomes narrower and then it becomes wider at your elbow. With a freehand selection tool I'm selecting this part of the arm and then in the Actions menu, I'm copying it and then pasting. In digital fashion drawing, it's that easy. I need just to position it correctly. I'm merging down the layers with the arms, with body drawing, and you can delete the arm structure layer, we don't need it anymore. Create extra layer for the structure of your hands, and I'm drawing a tetragon. Just of the shape that you see that is one square in height and adding structure for your fingers. Please pay attention to the land and proportions in relation to those squares. In total, the hand occupies two squares or two centimeters or 0.8 inches on the paper and you can see that one square is palm, one square goes to fingers. I'm decreasing the opacity of that layer with the hand structure, creating extra layer above it, and drawing fingers around that structure. Just follow me. Next I'm deactivating that structure layer and then with a freehand selection tool, I'm selecting the hand and then copying and pasting it. Flip it horizontally and position it on the right side. I'm erasing everything that is behind, now I'm merging all the layers that have the body drawing. I don't need anything with a structure. I have arms, hands, and the body, everything in one layer. Perfect, so getting rid of everything unnecessary. This is how our body looks with a drawing guide deactivated. In the next lesson, we're going to create clean, nice linework before starting coloring our body. Let's call this layer body base and jump into the next lesson, we're almost there. 6. Lesson 5: CLEAN LINEWORK: [MUSIC] When creating line work, avoid using just your wrist. Instead, try to use your whole arm. If you do so, you will get loose and more dynamic strokes. You can see these strokes they have certain directionality. There is a difference in the pressure, in the thickness of line, and it makes just more interesting drawing. Also, when you create line work, just keep rotating and zooming your drawing, so it's more convenient for you to create those dynamic lines. You can always tap the screen with two fingers to redo something. Actually, when your work on the linework, you redo those lines many times, and it's okay. These are the layers that we're going to have in this lesson. We already have body base and face base to reduce the opacity of those layers to 40 percent, and we have a new layer for the linework. I showed those layers because, again, in this project, I have some unnecessary layers. Please ignore them. You will need to lock the body base and face base just in case so we don't spoil those layers. Now, I'm working on the layer for the linework, and I'm using the technical pen. [MUSIC] When drawing eye, start from the roots, from the bottom, and make these strokes, so the upper edges of hair look thinner. [MUSIC] When I was editing this video, I had to cut out all my trials with the lines, just to make the video shorter. But as I told you before, you will constantly tap the screen was two fingers to redo the lines, and it's absolutely normal. Don't worry, try to enjoy the process. With time, your arm will become more agile, and you'll do it much faster. [MUSIC] I'm repeating the process for the eyebrows on the other side. You can always just copy one eyebrow and just flip it horizontally. But I like when facial features are not very symmetrical. Showing the corners of the mouth, trying not to make too thick lines for the lips. Showing that eyeliner on both sides. [MUSIC] Also, try to make quick lines. Usually, quick lines are dynamic ones. Because if you tried to control precisely all that pressure you actually will make it worse. Is better to make maybe 10 or 20 trials making quick strokes than having two, three trials, just making it slowly because they will look fake in the end, and you practice more. You create these fast, loose strokes. You get used to it. You get used to this movement. Then if it feels unnatural for you to work from your shoulder, later it will be normal for you. [MUSIC] You can also choose the thickness of the pen and type of painting tool, as well because maybe you prefer some textured pencil strokes rather than ink. You can experiment with different tools. [MUSIC] You can also break your line work if you have the really thin subtle line work, and certain fragments might even have no line visible. Usually, if the lighter parts area that is super lite can have really thin or no line work at all. Or the objects that are located further and the parts in the shadow or objects located closer, I usually have thicker outline. [MUSIC] We have thinner lines for the details, like those lines on her knee. [MUSIC] Here is what we have, and now I'm adding some fine lines to show the details on her body. We're almost done. All clean. My linework is ready. In the next lesson, we're going to run the skin and add some life to our fashion figure. See you there. [MUSIC] 7. Lesson 6: FACE COLORING: This is the project that we had in our previous lesson. Let's go to gallery duplicate it and open the copy. Next, I'm unlocking body base and face base and then deleting all those layers except for line work. Next, I'm duplicating the line work, deactivating one of them, then picking the new one and alpha locking it. Next, I'm picking hard brush and then selecting color that is a bit darker than the intended skin tone. Then just coloring all that line work. This option is for those of you who likes more subtle outline without that much of contrast, because the black outline is very common for comic style drawing. If you want less contrast, you can just color it with something that is very close to the skin tone. Maybe just a little bit darker. I didn't touch eyebrows, eyes, and nostrils. I'm renaming this layer, just line work color. Anything. Creating extra layer and it should be below our line work. I'm calling it face base, but in this case, there's going to be the base color for the skin. Now I'm going to my palette, and here I made the two palettes, one for the dark skin and one for the light skin. Our base color is the second coloring in this order. The first one the lightest is the color for the highlights, third one for the shadows, fourth one for the pencil strokes, when we'll make the touch-ups we'll use it. Then last two colors are for the lips, one is base color, and one is for the shadows. We have these new layer for the face base. I'm using studio pen. First I want to transfer all those colors to my layer. I can use a color pick tool to easily access all of these hues without going all the time to the pellet. I'm picking the second color. Using studio pen is really important that you have 100 percent opacity. Now you can see I'm starting from your right here just going along the outline. It's important that you have no space between the outline and your stroke and that you're also don't go beyond the outline. Don't worry that when we zoom in our image is a bit pixelated, it's normal because we're not drawing a portrait, this head is going to be really small and on our scale it will the good. Next I'm selecting the color in the upper right corner, clicking on it and dragging it to the area that I want to fill in and then just releasing. In the color panel pick the classic and choose light gray. With that light gray fill in the area of the eye; there should be white. It's not that visible because the value of that gray is similar to the value of the skin. But it's really important that you don't fill in that the area with pure white. Next, for blue eyes, I'm picking desaturated blue. The same goes for green. Just try not to choose two saturated bright colors because that doesn't look natural if it's not some contacts. Next, I'm picking base color for the lips, creating extra layer. Calling it lips. Filling in the area of the lips. Create a layer above lips, clip it to the layer below by activating clipping mask. Then decrease the opacity of your brush. Let's add the shadows. Picking the darker value and adding some extra shadows between your lips on the sides, at the bottom. With a color picker, choosing color between light and dark area and adding it in between, then merging down the shadows with the lips. We have everything for the lips on one layer, creating extra layer above the face base and calling it soft highlights. Clipping it to the face base, so it should be above face base. Then picking our first color, the one that is for highlights. Picking soft brush. Then increasing a bit the size and starting from your forehead. You can see that there is not much of a contrast. It's just a little bit lighter than her skin tone. Whenever you add highlights, try to push more in the central part of that highlighted area and less on the sides so there is a transition. I added highlights on the tip of her nose, then now showing here a nose breach. Pushing less as I go up, then adding highlights below here in a corner of the eye on the right side. I'll be constantly changing the size of my brush. I'll work you on the left side and then adding highlights on the right side cheekbone. On the left side cheekbone, decreasing the size of the brush. Adding highlights below the outer edge of the eyebrow and the same on the other side. Highlights on the chin. Now going up connecting the highlighted area but I'm pushing very softly so you can hardly see that highlighted area, but it is there. It is just the flat area of the face. Creating layer above soft highlights and calling it shadows. Click on that and let's make it multiply. Now we need to create the shadow brush. Open Brush Library and click on the plus icon. I'm creating it into the drawn category. Then change the spacing in Stroke Path to 25 percent. Go to taper. Then move those handles, change the size to 64 percent, change the Opacity from non to 44 percent, and the tip to 17 percent. Go to Shape and change the count jitter from non to 71 percent. In the Grain in the upper-right corner of the right triangle, you see the edit. Click on it, click on "Import" and source library, peak the bonobo, and click "Done". Change the grains killed to 11 percent. The last step about this brush, you can call it just click on that untitled brush and you can call it shadow brush. Then click "Done". Now we have our brush ready and I'm going to use it to create shadows. I'm picking the third color. Using it, now adding shadows between here nostrils. Showing her nostrils. Again, changes are very subtle, so please pay attention to my narrative. Adding shadows around those highlights on the tip of her nose, showing cure lower eyelids on the right side, and then on the left side. Then adding shadows along her upper eyelids on the left side. Just along that black line and then on the right side. Increasing the size of my brush and adding shadows below here, cheekbones. Adding shadows, at her temples. Then as I approach the highlighted area, I push less and less. I get this nice gradient. Top of her head, cheekbones. Coming up closer to the highlighted area, draws her chin and repeating the process on the other side. Her jawline, chin, pushing less and less, the auto color of her eyes. Beat more, and then temples. Let's make this layer also clipped. I'm clicking on the clipping mask, adding extra shadows on the left side of her head and inside of her ears in the upper half. Next, open the Actions menu, and then in Canvas activate the Drawing Guide and Edit Drawing Guide. Peak the symmetry. On the top, we have a slider. Select the color that is well visible and then locate this line with the blue handle in the middle of your face and then click "Done". Now you can see that the layer with shadows is assisted. Whatever I draw on the right side of this line is mirrored on the left side. Is very handy, especially when you draw something like a nose breach, and I try not to use it for anything on her face except for the nose bridge. We don't get artificial's training. Increasing the size of the brush, adding shadows on the sides of her nose, and then deactivating the drawing guide. It's important that you go to the shadows layer and deactivate the Drawing Assist. In the next lesson, we'll add the tie chops and finish our face. 8. Lesson 7: FACE TOUCHUPS: Now create a new layer above shadows layer. Here you can see I still have shadows layer assisted. You should deactivate Drawing Assist, I'm showing in the previous lesson at the end of it. Activate clipping mask for the new layer. Pick our fourth color that is made for pencil and choose Procreate pencil in painting tools. Now I'm starting from the inner corner of your eye. Let's make this new layer multiply by clicking on that N letter and changing the mode. I'm just drawing along that eyelid and coloring two sides of the eyelid. In smudging tool pick soft brush and smudging a little bit. Whenever you get too harsh pencil strokes, you can smudge them very lightly. Working with the eyelids on the other side. With a bit bigger brush and lower opacity, I'm adding strokes below your right side cheekbone, very lightly. Then doing the same on the left side. Showing your nose bridge on the right side, and then on the left side. You can deliberately make the strokes more visible, stronger if you want. Working with left side lower eyelid, and then with the right side lower eyelid, making them stronger. Adding shadows between your nostrils, showing your nostrils as well. Adding extra strokes along your nose bridge on the right side. Next, with a smudging tool and soft brush, I'm softening some of those strokes. Adding strokes on your right side cheek bone. You see they are very light so it's hard to recognize, so follow me. Next, picking a bit darker color, a bit grayish brown, and adding shadows onto your nose very softly. Don't push too much, and some shadows above your cupid's bow. Let's call this layer pencil strokes. Then create a new layer and call it touch ups. Now I'm taking technical pen, picking that black of your eyeliner and drawing your eyelashes. This is the overall shape. Try to draw multiple ones together. So there should be the dynamic lines that are thicker at the roots and thinner at the ends. I'm just drawing few of them of different length. Then picking white or something that is close to pure white and covering that black outline. Again, we're working in touch ups layer, so don't mess your line work. Then picking darker skin tone on your eyelid and covering the rest of that black line that is still visible. After finishing with previous black, I'm drawing lower eyelashes. A bit on the side. Picking some darker colors along your upper eyelid and doing the same, I want to just thin a little bit that line. Doing the same on the left side, just making it not that strong. Here, let's pick this one. You can even break that line. Then drawing your eyelashes. Then picking dark color on your lower eyelid, covering the black line, picking some white, covering the rest, and drawing the eyelashes. You can draw thinner, soft eyelashes if you want. Let's draw those inner corners of your eyes. Next with black, I want to make those outer corners a bit narrow. Picking pure white and adding highlights to your pupils. Also adding highlights on that gray area, and basically the whites of the eyes to show this, the wetness of your eyes. Next, adding this white on the tip of your nose, and then on your nose bridge. Next, adding highlights on your lips. I'm adding some tiny dots on your right side cheekbone. It's optional. I like some glitter and doing the same on the left side. Adding some glitter on the outer edge of your eyebrow as well, and the same on the other side. Adding some highlights on the top of your ears. Go into shadows layer, picking some neat value of gray, picking soft brush. I'm filling in the area between the hair of your eyebrows, very, very softly. Darkening your eyelids a little bit. With the same brush, adding shadows under your upper eyelid inside of your eyes. Go to your line work layer and then with the freehand selection tool, select your nostrils. Then go to adjustments, pick hue saturation and brightness, and increase a little bit the brightness, just to give a softer look to your nose. Then I come back to pencil strokes layer and smudge a little bit those strokes under your cheekbone. Going to line work layer, selecting your eyebrows. Again, going to adjustments, use saturation and brightness and increasing the brightness a bit. Our face is ready. In the next lesson, we'll start working on your body. See you there. 9. Lesson 8: BODY HIGHLIGHTS: [MUSIC] We have our face ready. Let's go to Layers. We have line work, we have touch ups layer above line work. I'm taking all the layers below line work that belong to her face and grouping them. Let's rename this group and I'm going to call it head, you can call it face it doesn't matter. Just let's make everything clean. Above the head group, I'm creating a new layer and calling it body base. Just like with your face, we're going to use this layer to add the base color. I'm piking Studio Pen, increasing the opacity to 100 percent. Now following the line work of her body without leaving any gap between line-work and your skin and just outlining your body. We're using the second color from our skin palette. I want to fill in first torso and then just fill in the next fragment, and so on. You can outline the whole body and then fill it in with color. I just find it easier to work with fragments because if you have any gap in your outline, you can find it faster. Next I'm working with your thigh, closing this area and filling it in. I filled in all your body, now let's go to Layers and create one more layer above that body base. I'm going to call it soft highlights, just as we did when we worked with your face. I'm activating clipping mask and peaking soft brush in painting tools. Selecting very first color from my palate, starting from your juggler point and stretching this triangle on your neck, then adding also in the shape of a triangle are the highlights above your collarbones, and doing the same on the other side. Adding highlights between your breasts, the center of highlighted area should be stronger you push there more and you push less as you go further to build a nice transition from highlighted area to not highlighted area, so here I push less. Armpits, same on the other side. Shoulders, and here as well. Then stretching highlights along your arm in the middle. Here you see that all those highlighted parts really resemble triangles. Adding highlights on the other arm. Next, decreasing the size of the brush and increasing the opacity. Adding some stronger highlights on your collarbone. Other side, increasing the size of the brush, decreasing the opacity and adding highlights on your breasts. Pushing more in the center, pushing less as I go further. Next, going below your breasts, showing your hips, adding highlights in the middle of your stomach, your belly, stretching highlights up and pushing less. The sides, showing your pelvic bone, this mermaid lines. For your arms, you add highlights in the middle of your arms. Adding highlights in the middle of your front fingers and on the tips of your back fingers, and doing the same on the other side. Now working with your legs, adding highlights on your thighs. Pushing more in the center and pushing less as I go to the sides. You can see I'm not adding highlights on the inner thighs. Working with the other side. Adding highlights on your knees you can push a bit harder here. Then showing the bone of your lower leg. If for thighs we were showing the soft tissues more, for the lower leg, we show bone, it's the most shiny part. The front leg is more highlighted than the back leg because the back leg is bent and it's receiving less of light so I'm adding just a little bit. Next, adding highlights in the middle of your feet. We finished with highlights on your body. In the next lesson, we'll add shadows and touch ups and our body will be ready. See you in the next lesson. [MUSIC] 10. Lesson 9: BODY SHADOWS & TOUCHUPS: Starting from where we finished in the previous lesson, creating extra layer above soft highlights and calling it shadows. Activating clipping mask, and clicking on that N letter, and changing the mode to multiply. Picking our shadow brush in my case it's called untitled brush and I showed in the face coloring lesson how to create this brush. Picking now a third color for the shadows and starting working with shading. You can see the size of the brush and the opacity on the screen. Adding shadows under her jaws. Then above her collarbone. Pushing less as I'm going upper. Making this turn. Working on the other side. Adding extra shadows on the top, under her chin, on the sides along those lines. Adding shadows under her collarbones, between two highlighted areas. Showing the shape of her breasts. Adding more shadows on the sides and in the low part, and as I'm approaching the highlighted area in the center, I push less. It's really important to get a nice gradient from deeper shadows to the highlights. Here I'm pushing, adding shadows at her armpits, defining those muscles on both sides. Then adding shadows on the inner side of your arms showing that cavity on the other side of your elbow. More shadows at her ribs. Adding shadows between the highlights of her belly and highlights of the pelvic bone, ribs on the other side. Showing a bit the abs. Using smudging tool and pick the same brush that we're using for the shadows in the Smudging tool. I'm just smudging all those parts that I feel like ended up being too dark, so they look a bit softer. Then keep working with the painting tool , showing her pelvis. Again we'll have some triangles here on the sides. Here adding shadows on the inner thighs pushing more closer to the outline and less as I'm approaching the highlights. Again, picking Smudging tool and just getting rid of those obvious strokes so the shadows are smoother. Adding shadows on the sides. Next working with your arms. We have highlights in the center and shadows on the sides. Decreasing the size of the brush and adding shadows on her fingers. I'm not showing too many details on her hands. Just adding shadows inside and keeping centers off her fingers highlighted. Working with the other side. Next, increasing the size of the brush, working with inner thighs on the other leg. Showing the shadows under her knee and our bent leg is a bit darker because it's for receiving less light so you can keep just a bit of highlight. Then adding shadows on her back foot and adding shadows on her front leg just on the sides, keeping that bone lit and adding shadows everywhere else. Our shadows are ready, let's create one more layer above Shadows layer and call it Pencil or Pencil Strokes. I'm activating clipping mask and picking, of course, color. Then selecting "Procreate Pencil" and let's make this layer multiply as well. You can see the size of the brush in that opacity, I'm starting again from her neck. Two layers would work, I think. Adding some on the right side between the thinner line and the outline. Above the collarbone on the right side, showing collarbone on the left side. Adding shadows in the jugular points above collarbone. Basically anywhere where we have darker shadows, you can enhance them using these strokes. More above the collarbone on the right and then on the left. Shoulders on the left. Shoulders on the right. Adding shadows below her breasts. You can make darker strongest strokes if you want to. Armpits on the left and then going down along her arms, ribs, then adding shadows inside your hands, leaving the tips of the fingers lit, and adding some details with the pencil strokes. Then some strokes below her right side breast and on her ribs. Then taking Smudging tool, and in Smudging tool I'm picking Shadow Brush and then smudging those strokes. You can use soft brush as well for smudging. I'm not pushing hard, so I still have pencil strokes, but they don't look like scratches. Showing her abs, smudging them too then adding pencil strokes on her right arm along the inner line and then along the outline. Let's go to a pencil layer of her face and add some strokes there too. I'm adding on the right temple and then on the left temple. Also in the upper half of her ears and then coming back to my body pencil layer, adding pencil strokes on her thigh on the right side, then smudging them. On her thighs, I didn't have a lot of strokes, so it's hard to see. I add strokes and then smudge them. Then let's show her knees on the left, here you can add stronger shadows because her leg is bent and it's dark and below her knees. Again, smudging. You can experiment and try to use some other hues, maybe purple for the pencil strokes. Then adding pencil on the right leg along the outline on her knee. Adding more on her knee. Now I'm selecting all the layers belonging to the body and then grouping them and let's call this group Body. I'm going to Touch ups layer, I will work on the same layer as one that I used for her face, but you can create a new one. Picking Studio Pen and White, and then adding some strong highlights on her collarbones, some glitter. You can see I've added some highlights on her breasts and some tiny dots around to show the glitter. You can add highlights also on her thighs in the middle if you want some shiny legs. Overall, we've finished her body. In the next lesson, we'll learn the hair. You did a great job. See you in the next lesson. 11. Lesson 10: HAIR RENDERING: In this lesson, we'll draw hair, and I'm starting with creating a new layer. Let's call it hair base. Here, we will define a silhouette for our hairstyle and fill it in with a desired color. We will have some classic bald. Again, we're working with dynamic lines, and you can make many, redo these lines until you get ones that you like. I actually have many trials. Again, when I was editing this video, I had to cut them out. This happens when the area is not closed. Here we have the gap. Sometimes I get some accidental dots. I'll keep this one. It looks like a nice mold. Working on the other side, filling in and you can color with your brush any pieces that are left uncolored. Creating extra layer, and let's call it shadows. I'm activating Clipping Mask and picking Syrup. With this brush, you can see the opacity in size and creating strokes starting from parting. I vary length and pressure. All these strokes be different in length and thickness and also in their opacity. In keeping some part of her hair leads in the up half as you can see, then part of your hair is dark especially behind your neck and behind your ears. Working in the same way on the other side, again, I have the highlighted area. It looks a bit like a river. Next, picking Smudging tool and in the Smudging tool, I choose soft brush. Let's decrease the size. I'm not pushing hard, mostly working with edges of these strokes, just smoothing them out a little bit, just a bit. We still want to see that texture. Next, creating a layer above shadows layer and calling it highlights, and also activating Clipping Mask. Working with the same brush and choosing some lighter value. Really thin brush and I'm decreasing significantly the opacity so you can see how my strokes look like. I mostly work in highlighted area but I still cover some strokes that I made for the shadows. Doing the same on the other side, and then increasing the size of the brush and showing the highlights. Again, it resembles a river. Adding some wider strokes, adding some stronger highlights on the front strands. Then with Smudging tool still have soft brush there, I'm just softening those highlights. This is how it looks on the screen. Next, coming back to Shadows and picking darker value. Let's just reduce the size a bit. I think this is too dark picking a bit lighter brown and making strokes. Since we have highlights now, those shadows look stronger. We have more contrast. Here you will feel where is right to add or mostly between those highlights and in the area where you add the shadows. Next, creating a new layer above highlights and calling it touch-ups. With the same dark brown and the smaller size of the brush, let's activate the Clipping Mask. I'm creating similar strokes to the light ones that we made before like thin ones. I'm drawing them on the top of highlights, on the top of shadows to make it resemble hair not like a solid plastic piece. Then was a Smudging tool very lightly I'm touching those strokes, so they are not that harsh. Then creating extra layer above, and I'm not activating Clipping Mask in this case because I need to draw beyond the color base area and I'm picking technical pen. Let's draw some hair pieces that are sticking out from the main silhouette. Some around as well. You can add some more on the top of hair. Just play with the size of the brush opacity. Then going to Luminance on the same layer, picking lighter value, and adding these spots at the highlights. Then picking Smudging tool, decreasing the size. First, I smudge in the direction of those highlights to make them a bit smaller and then I stretch them to the outside. Coming back to the shadows of your face, picking some darker values on your skin. With a shadow brush, I'm adding some shading along your hairline, also add some shadows in your parting. I feel like your forehead looks a bit flat right now so I want to add extra shadows to give it some depth. Adding shadows on the sides on the top of the forehead and with a Smudging tool, just softening the edges and spreading the shadows bit closer to the center. What if you want to change the color of your hair? I combined all the layers or hair into group, and let's duplicate it and then flatten your group and deactivate the one below it. I'm going to Adjustments and in hue saturation brightness, I'm just playing with the hue and picking one that I like. Then changing brightness, in saturation let's desaturate it, so it's not that greenish-yellow. That's what I have. It looks a bit as if it lacks contrast. I created additional layer, I make it multiply, and in Painting tool picking Syrup. Adjust the size and opacity of the brush, and let's pick some hue from your hair. I'm adding some strokes mostly where we have darker ones already just to add that contrast. Of course, it's better to know which color you want to have and start rendering with that in mind, with those specific colors. But this technique is still handy when you want to change the hue within the same value of colors. Now I'm smudging some of those strokes. We're done with your hair. In the next lesson, we'll add some clothing to your body, see you there. 12. Lesson 11: ADDING CLOTHES: In this lesson, we'll be adding some clothes on our model here. What we have, we have the whole cloak here ready, and this is what will get at the end of this lesson. Let's go to "Layers" and create one layer above the layer that I've got just by flattening all those layers that we made. On this new layer, I'm using studio pen and I'm drawing the outline of our sweater. Again, I cut out all my trials with these lines. I'm doing everything fast, but it doesn't work this way. If you have to redraw these lines many times, it's absolutely normal. [MUSIC] It's a bit tuck at the waistline, that's why we have some volume over there. In this lesson, we're just testing the rendering of clothing because this class is dedicated to drawing body. We'll learn that in more details all these shading, folds and other details in the other class. I wanted to have this lantern type of sleeves. [MUSIC] Next, I'm making a copy of this outline, going back to the layer below and filling in with some dark gray, creating one more layer above the layer with the color, activating Clipping Mask. Next, I'm taking noise brush and picking some light gray, and adding this noise to give it a bit rough texture. Just going over all these surfaces and because I have Clipping Mask activated, it just covers only the area in the dark gray. Creating one more layer. Again, activating Clipping Mask and making this layer multiply, picking out shadow brush, adjusting the size of the brush, and starting adding the shadows. For those of you who didn't go through all the lessons, I'm showing how to create this shadow brush in the face coloring tutorial. Shown some darker shadows between your sleeves and bodies. We have some wrinkles, clues to her shoulders adding some shadows at the seam that attach her sleeves to her body's then showing those wrinkles. Have your elbows along the outline on the outside of the sleeves then the folds on your collar. Adding shadows along that seam that attaches your collar to the bodice and work on their right shoulder. Then stretching the shadows to your breasts and then below your left side breast, right sides stretching those folds towards your waistline and some shadows between your breasts. Shadows alone are in a line on the right side sleeve. Some wrinkles at your elbow, some wrinkles stretching towards your shoulder, and shadows along the sleeves. Next, I'm picking smudging tool and there I'm picking the same shadow brush and going through all these strokes just to make them softer because after all, it's wool. We try to avoid strong contrasts with the wool. This is our result. I'm creating one more layer just below the shadow layer. Also activating Clipping Mask and picking some much lighter gray and also with the noise brush, I want to add more of the texture just going over the whole sweater. [MUSIC] Next I'm creating one more layer just above all of them because this one will be above the pants and just drawing the outline of your pants. As I told you before, we'll learn about the dynamics of the fabrics, how they fold, how they behave, and how they reflect the light in other classes, so don't worry, let's just have some fun with this last lesson. I'm using the same dynamic lines to make this outline for your pants. Here on her right side, I want to cut out some of your body so I will draw the shape of your pants and later I'll show how to fix this area. Working with the other side, we have some folds because she's bending her leg. Try to draw these folds in the unique different ways. Your right side folds don't resemble too to the left side folds. I'm duplicating this layer with the outline going to the first layer of these two and filled it in with some camel color. Here, I forgot to close that part. I'm going, there and with the same studio pen that I used for the outline. I'm just closing that part and filling in with the camel color of my choice. I'm unlocking the body layer that I previously locked and just erasing that area. You remember where I drew trousers on and now I'm grouping all the layers that belong to your sweater and flattening the group, going to adjustments and became liquefy. Now I can stretch her sleeve, so it goes just behind her pants. Next, let's create one more layer above. I'll call layer, activate clipping mask, and make it multiply. I'm using shadow brush and now I'm going just to add all the shadows for your pants. I'm continuously adjusting the size of my brush and opacity, and it's something more intuitive. You feel like here we have deeper wrinkles, so I want to make them a bit darker. Maybe in some places, you had just soft shadows so you need maybe wider and some lights and shadows. Now I'm showing all these folds that I made because of all the tension between your legs and adding shadows on the side of your hips, on the right side. Stretching those faults here. We have some wrinkles because of this rotation of the fabric around your leg, and the same on the inner side. Adding some wider softer shadows. Also adding more around your crotch, then working with the left side, adding deeper shadows inside those faults around your knee. Adding shadows on your hips on the left and some shadows on the sides at the knee area, at the overlap, and some wrinkles on the fabric just because of this movement. Let's deepen shadows at the overlap, stretching this fault on the right side. Then with the less capacity and wider size of the brush, I'm adding some soft shadows along the outline and just around all these folds to make some transition. Then I'm taking a smudging tool and just softening the shadows. Just smudging. I'm making better transition from shadows to highlight by stretching some of the edges of this shaded area. Being dark gray I'm adding some deeper shadows in certain area that should be darker like in the crotch, in these really deep faults. Here at the overlap between two legs, creating extra layer above shadows layer, also activating clipping mask and then with a noise brush and just dark color value of that camel, I'm adding this texture to give it some juicy texture. Creating extra layer, picking some black and procreate pencil, and drawing the details of your pants. Drawing that sly and then go into shadows layer, picking some mid-gray and shadows brush and shading these opening on the fly. Good. Creating an extra layer above her sweater. This new layer just should be behind your trousers. All of those layers that belong to trousers, because we're working with her shoes. Now I need to draw the full outline of her shoes. Using studio ink, I'm drawing the outline and actually I'm finishing and closing it on the top, but because the shoes are behind, you can't see it. I can fill it in with this dark gray, creating a layer above and making a multiply and activating clipping mask. This one is going to be a shadow slayer, picking our shadow brush and adding the shading on her pants, and showing the overall shape of your shoes. Good. Grouping these two layers and flattening them. Our right side [inaudible] is ready, taking studio pen and I want to draw your other shoe. If I deactivate the color lay of your pants, I can see that it's probable that the tip of your bad shoe is visible. I'm drawing the full outline, it's going to be like two triangles, and then just filling them in with this gray. I will also create a layer for the shadows, adding just tiny bit of shadows and we're done. This is our first look, and I hope that you enjoyed the creation of it. I'm looking forward to seeing your work in the project gallery.
