Find Your Style - In Procreate

1. 1. Welcome: Hi and welcome to this Skillshare class. My name is Avraham and I'm a digital Illustrator. In this class. I'm going to take you through my process of drawing this cute girl using two different coloring styles, using Procreate during the same piece of art in different styles is an excellent method for exploring different learning styles and getting skills in various methods of illustration. We'll start off by going over the sketching process, where I show how to block in the shapes. Because we build our scene. Then we'll get into the line work as you start to transform our rough sketch into a final drawing. After that, we'll use two different drawing methods to add color and texture to our drawings. At the end, we'll have two very cute drawings. I can't wait to get started. I look forward to seeing you in the class. 2. 2. Setting up your canvas: The first thing we're going to do is separate Canvas. And to do that, we're going to click on the wrench icon and then the Canvas button, crop and resize. And we can click on settings and see the dimensions. Right now, these dimensions are 4,000 by 3,000 pixels. If I'm making to a square, that's good enough. The Thousand and then type in 4,000. De Perez already at 300. But if I need to change that, I would click on that as well and then type the new number when I'm ready. That done, and we have our new canvas size. Next thing is to pick a rush for a drink. Initial sketching. I like to use a brush that I got called a sketch brush. But with Procreate, there's a sketching section. And if you go there, you can see a lot of good pencils. And I really recommend the six B pencil to do the same type of drawing that we're gonna do. It really doesn't matter so much because definitely a sketch, just a rough idea of what's going to happen. And afterwards we're going to draw over it anyway. So pick whatever brush you want. I'm going to use this enemy basic sketch brush. And then we can start. 3. 3. Rough sketch and inking: The first thing we're gonna do is sketch out the basic shapes. It doesn't have to be very precise. Just start drawing and sketching out the shapes. To launch the neck. We can have a body, shoulders and the torso. Some ovals to represent where the arms are going to be, a hand raised in the air. So let's put some lines there to represent where the hand is, where the arm is, showing some really rough fingers. And it's a little bit large for I want to get her feet into her legs into it. So let's go ahead and reduce the size of this a little bit. Move it up a little bit. So some room for the legs. Drop in the legs here. Actually want more staying standing on one leg. So if we do that and give one leg most of the majority of the weight on one leg. And we'll sketch the other leg out at an angle. In some shoes. Shoes and here's who we tip toeing, angling, once you down, touching the ground with their toe. Still just roughly sketching and things behind one leg. We're going to have this cute little animal peeking out, drawing in the head, ears. Putting the pause. So grabbing around her leg. Then adding in a tail. Just roughly sketching out what's going to look like. Work in more details later. Back to our main subject, the girl. I think her nose. Some representation where the eyes are gonna be. Eyebrows. And all important is the mouth of the hairstyle. Let's go with it. Straight cut like this. Heading and just the general outline of the shape of the hair frames her head. And slowly, slowly, you see that we're actually building a picture. It's coming together just like that. A few lines here, few lines there, and we're storing, get a feel for who this girl is. Definitely needs to be reworked. We refined the hand is definitely a problem. But looking cute so far and just keep going with it. Let's go give her a head band with some flowers in it. How they go across her head. Now that we have the basic idea, There's a basic sketch. Won't go now and start to refine it a little bit by adding more details, darkening the lines that I'm liking to say, I want to keep these. Almost forgot. Let's have her holding a bouquet of flowers. So here this could be coming from around the back, is that we don't have to really worry about drawing yet another hand because hands are a little bit hard. So we'll just show the flowers coming out from behind her back. Make sure the arm, we represent this as an arm that's going behind. Here are some shoulders. Still do some more changes later. See some lines where the crease in the shirt and defined where the end of this year and the pants meet. Here and on the other side. Just making darker lines as we are fully finalizing the overall shape of how she's going to look. This is still going to our broth and then we're gonna go for it yet again, really carefully. But right now we're just getting a feel and bring their characters to life. Can't forget the season on the ground. Alright, so let's go ahead and a little bit of a ground for her. Very something very simple. Hill hint up some grass, blades of grass here and there. Now that we have, and I think this is a good enough start for our little girl. Everything seems to be more or less defined. Like we have a general reference for most of the things that we think we need. So let's consider this done, and let's go and create a second layer. On that layer, we're going to make our recovery find out my second layer, drag it below the first layer and reduce the opacity of the first layer. Two, it's barely see it. Now we're going to pick a new brush to do our actual inking. And I really like to use a modified version of the mercury brush in the inking brush library. And then link to that in the resources section so you can download it. It's, it's really, I like the texture of the brush and use that for almost all my inking, my liner snipped. We have that brush. We're going to go over again. Majors, go over the lines that I want to be actual or final art. I missing our rough sketch as a rough sketch, I'm not exactly following to a T. It's more important for me that the lines be fluid. Strokes. Everything is I tried to make it once when simple line quick and let the dynamics of the brush smooth out for me. If I go to slowly, then you'll see that you'll see shakiness in the brush stroke lines and I don't want that. So I tried to go quick quick fluid motions. If I need to, I'll just undo and redo until I have a line. Another option is to use a shape assist by holding at the end of the line and laying the turning to Azure Arc. And then I have a fluid line that week as well. The next line, you'll see here I'm doing a lighter touch, so it's a little bit thinner. That gives a sense of depth or importance to the head. The neck is a little more delicate. Let's do a little more for the hair. I'm not worrying about connecting all the lines together with the shoulder. I dropped one line shoulder line and now I'm doing other fluid line for the arm. I'm not so happy with this arm right now. I think I'm not filling the arm as being so we'll just seems to offer it now, let's go just switch to the torso. Once we have an alignment like there, then we can go back and add in the arms so it looks realistic 3D. Folding behind. It's little hard to draw an arm behind a body without the body yet. So let's go draw our torso, the shirt. So once we have that, then we can go back and do the arm. This arm is looking good. That looks very realistic. Arm is going up a little bit so I can get a little bit more accurate. You should see my details little more I'm doing over here by the hand and you see I'm already I'm already not being exactly are the making the hand extended a little bit more than in the sketch? And draw the fingers here. I want to make the fingers more reasonable size for this cute little girl. I'm not working. I'm not trying to make the hand so realistic. Just so it looks something reasonable. I like the fingers but a little bit wide, like not enough room for the pinkie. So I'm going to go to the selection tool. Let's turn off the color fill and make sure we're on free form. So I can just do width-wise and not affect also the height. And I have a little more room for the finger, a little more room for that pinky. Let's try to draw a pinky in here that looks, again, reasonably real, or shape and size your pinky. Now let's go down and work on her pets. Fluid motions. Single lines is so swiftly it out and start flow down and try for something that looks like a nice, confident looking like. It helps that her legs pretty straight as well. So do that. Don't be afraid to undo. Undo is your friend and just keep going till you get the line that you'd like after time it comes pretty becoming faster. Even though you see here, I'm still struggled from time to time. Okay, so I think we finished. One gets legged, go to the other one, will erase where the cat is later. But right now we're just going to pretend that's not there and draw I can draw through it to her right shoe. Upside. Little more challenging. So I'm trying to meet up in the middle. There are details on our shoe. Now for our cat, make things easier, we're going to use layers. A layer that would do the cat is going to be on specifically. And that we can draw, not worrying about the pants leg because when we erase it will be able to erase very easily. I'm still gonna try drawing accurately, but you don't have to worry about I don't have to worry about later if I go over or anything that nice big news. Some cute little eyes, putting the eyes very close to noise as the acuteness little tip there. Of course, a cat needs some whiskers. Here's the paw reaching around one side of the leg. The other side. The little arms. Keep playing with it until you have some shape that you're looking at. Things like work on the tail. Stiffened good overall. Now that we have our cut, we can erase the parts of the leg that the cat is covering up. Now, I could merge the layer with the girl right now. But since I want to add in her flowers in her hair and that's also going to require some erasing. Let's just stay on the cut layer and add in those flowers. Junction little ovals here. We'll talk about her hair behind because we'll just erase it like we did with the cat and the pencil line. So let's give her, give her flowers with a few petals. And some will have four or five just to fill up the space. Trying to make them so they don't all lining up exactly. So it will be five causes slightly harder, but we'll try to put up being a slightly different angle. It's moving along the side and just moving along her hair. We get to the side. You see I'm not really following the flowers that are beneath it all. So I do now is make another layer of flowers. Here we're going to lower the opacity of the current layer so it doesn't confuse us of what's on each layer. And we'll start drawing again. And this is B. Maybe the flowers I'll be behind. I'm turns around this phase is to fill the gaps between the flowers in the previous layer. Now another finish the flowers, I can start erasing them. Based on what the layer beneath. The other layer, the primary layer flowers. So these small flowers will appear to be behind. The larger flowers. Will have an alternate. Sunflowers be in front and sometimes we'd behind. Since we have the flowers, There's a different passage. It's very easy to see which ones were dealing with. Make sure using a small brush, you can get the accuracy that you're looking for. Now that we have them all finished, increase the opacity again. So they're both full opacity. Okay? Okay, so I think all the flowers are done. So now let's just go back to the layer with the girl and erase the hair. Whether it should be behind the flowers. Let's go ahead and color for a shirt. And I think, I think we're good with that. We can merge the layers. We can merge all of these layers together and make a new layer which we'll use for our backgrounds. Remember that grass in the background. The way to do just a nice arc actually is turn on our layer that we did our sketch so we can see how we did the ground. Oh, wait a second. Here. I see. We forgot to do her bouquets. Let's go do that. So that's pretty important. Adding in a few flowers here and there. I think we needed to keep another layer because the flowers are going to overlap. So let's create another layer and start drawing some petals on that one as well. And again, the word the layer opacity. So we can tell which flowers on which later because it can get confusing really quickly. We have the flowers. Let's get our brush really small too, so we can go and you can reach the pedals behind the other petals and see the flowers in a more understandable fashion. And now that we've done that, we can bring the opacity back up and merge these layers. One thing we still need to draw, though, besides the flower petals, are the leaves. We're going to add in a few larger leaf shapes here. And once we're happy with that, he can emerge. There's together. Turn off our sketch layer and look how it is. And just one last little touch-up to do is to just need to erase the ground that is showing up through her shoes. So let's go and let's do a little bit of erasing here. Now that that's done, we can merge those layers together. So put the girl on the background, and now we're ready to start coloring it in. 4. 4. Brush painting style: So to start off with, let's create a new layer and put it nice and put it underneath. The other two will switch to the acrylic brush, which is in the painting brush set. It gives a really good texture. I'll click. And now we'll go pick a color for the shirt, which will be something in the red family. And now we'll start painting this, layering it in with the wet acrylic is that every new pink stroke is going to be layered on the previous one. So I tried to do as one continuous stroke. I'm not lifting my pen as much as possible. If I do, then I could always use the smudge tool and blend in where those join happens is because it gives it a nice, good, natural textured look in some unpredictability, which is sort of cool. Here finishing up the sleeve. I'm not worrying about if I go over some of the other parts because if I go over her hair, like it, according to recent later, add in a little bit more darker texture where I wanted to show us to be going over with the same brush. I'm gonna go back and pick another, another color, a little bit on the lighter side. And I'm doing this because I see there's a little bit too much of the weight of the background showing through. So I just want to add any more color. We're going to fill up the shirt so that there's more color here and less of the white background. Also buy chicken prepping in different colors. So it's going to add a little more color variation won't be so flat. So I'm just going over here, going over the different parts of the shirt and seeing how it looks. I think it looks pretty good. That's a good start. So now let's go to the pens. We're going to pick a lightest blue color. Start filling in the pants. I'm doing this all on the same layer. We could do it on separate layers as well. It might be a little safer if you're nervous. Just fine separate layers and you can always erase if they happen in crossover. Like here, it's actually going into the cat's paw, which I'll erase later. Put it e.g. with boot to go over her shirts. That a little more problematic because I would erase the blue. It also be erasing the red. So if you wanted to in two separate layers, I can totally relate. And sometimes they do that myself. The paths are going to have these holes, stripes. So let's see. I'm putting in long lines here. Going over again with the same brush, smaller but the same exact brush and going over again, it just makes it more intense and dark. We get these stripes on her pants legs. Try to follow the contour of the leg that's straight is easy enough, but the one that has a little bit of a curve, I want to follow the curve. Try them, keep them more or less equally spaced. Now that I finished the wider lines, I want to just add a little bit more depth to it by putting smaller, darker blues. So doing darker blue, smaller brush, and going over the same lines we did before. Not linked for exact precision here. But it will, the extra darker blue, we'll add just a little bit extra depth and volume. Now go to the other leg. Adding in lines. Going back a little bit to see how it looks good. Now as promised, let's go and clean up those cat parks or zoom in. Go to the eraser tool and just erase out the parts of the pause that have that blue on it. Similarly, by the shirt, we have a little bit of places where this shirt is overlapping, places that should be other colors. So we'll just going to clean that area up. And I notice here also I forgot the flowers are overlapping. There's a line for short that we need to clean up as well. So let's go and fix that. Let's go and fix that careful operation here. It's easier if you catch these beforehand, but yeah, it's not so bad. I think we're doing okay here. And by the color, there shouldn't be, we don't want to have the red color over here. We're going to put a different color. Let's clean that up. Then where the acrylic is going past the ends of the sleeves. So it will fix that up as well with a little bit of erasing. What else? By the hair. Let's go and clean up the hair. Now, it's actually time to put in color for hair. So we're gonna go to our color picker, pick a brownish color, like brown for the hair. I think Brian works well for her for her hair. So let's go and do that. Let's pick the brown color and start painting in. Again. I'm doing I'm going up and down strokes to fall. The direction of the hair, strands of hair would be. And that helps look more realistic as well. So just doing various ups and downs and switching to a lighter color and a smaller brush to add in a bit of a highlight. Actually switched, let's switch to a thicker brush and do this, have a very thick highlights and then we'll go in back and subtract them out by going to picking a darker color and then brushing over them. So that way it's going to hide some of the highlights while adding in darker strands as well. Putting more strokes like that. And I went to the banks of her hair. I'm trying to stay within the lines and I go over to where her face is. Of course, because those erase those out. And for sure by the flowers I'm going to have to erase those. But the more accurate could be at the beginning, the less touch-up to do later. So why not try to do it correctly the first time, at least by the hair where it meets her face. By the flowers. No way. Because again, I'm trying to do a few straight up and down strokes for the straight up and down strokes. And so for that, it's a little bit of momentum. Okay, so now I'm into other side of her hair and we're going to do some more lines over here and filled us, fill this side in with my pen comes up and I started again. So it adds a lot more of these texture, little darker lines that makes it look less flat and more natural. I'm really liking how this is coming out here. The lines are almost now horizontal because that's how the hair would be falling on the top of her head. Camera on either side, trying to match the level of darkness so that her hair, it looks uniform all across. Of course, there are highlights and shadows, but in general, the hair should look like one cohesive unit. And now it's time to add in some highlights. So we're going to add in some smaller, brighter strokes. Jumping back to the darker brown and putting in are bringing our shadows. Just having fun experimenting. You know, hair has a mind of its own. And you can just tease out how you want the hair to look. Give it some character, some depth. You think you put too many darks and some add some lights. If you had two lights, add some shadows. And overall, the more you switch back and forth, the more realistic and depth is going to be the hair is pulled back and see how this looks. I think it's time we can start on the face. So we'll make a new layer, because here I want to not worry about having to erase with the hair and risk compress rather hard. So it'll be mostly uniform because for the face and the skin, you definitely want to be a smooth ER doc. And so if you were to do a light touch with the acrylic, you're going to end up with those streaks. And we really don't want that for her nice girlish face. So I'm pressing harder and trying to get a more even look for the placing the color. I'm not just fill it, but I don't want to fill it in to have exactly a uniform color all around. I do want this brush look stumps, so I'm still filling it in by hand. So we're gonna pick a slightly later version of the skin tone and paint over. That way the two different colors will mix together. So it's not a flat tone. And also by putting together, it does. We'll fill in all the little pieces was worth the wait of the background is showing through and smooth things out even more for her face. I'm doing the second strokes and form an angle diagonal lines because I wanted to sort of blend out that the colors will be more uniform color here. Going back. Going back and picking a little bit of a warmer red color because we want to add in some lovely cheeks for this girl. I'm doing very light pressure. So that's subtle hint of the pinkish cheeks. Another chicks are gone. That's actually go and clean up that hair that we saw before and erase all the different places where the skin tones are overlapping the hair. Let's also clean up a little bit where her the skin tones are falling below her face. Switching back to our flesh color and going the size of our brush just a little bit because there's fingers are small. So let's make sure that our brush will fit within those inside her fingers and not go outside so we don't have to erase more than we need to. We'll just color in her hand. Same idea. Now that we've made our first color of flesh tones, we're going go and make a slightly warmer one, a slightly lighter one, and go back over it. Here. It's hard to not do straight up and down. So I'm trying to do a little bit circular, circular stroke or slightly to the side. And that way it will hopefully smooth out the tones on her skin. Touch up with the eraser. Very small brush to get between those fingers. And it's looking, It's coming together. Now it's time. Let's finish off this shirt and put a color on it. Let's go for a, we'll pick a color that's right between orange and yellow. Make our brush really small because we have a small area to work in here. And since we made the Bristow small, I'm going to go back to the same layer as the shirt. Same thing by the sleeve had in her cuffs. This will clean up her cuffs where her hand color is also there. So let's go to that layer and erase that. Now let's go work on her flowers in her hair. So making a white flowers. So let's pick a white color. We attach it with a touch of yellow. Make your brush really small and start coloring in. Well, this, these flowers a little bit too similar to the background right now. It's hard to see them exactly. So let's go create a new layer, put it behind everything, switched to a blue color, and drop it in. So now we have a clear separation between her in the background. Not exactly sure about that blue. Let's try another one. Third time. One more time. Alright, yes, that's a nice blue. Back to our flowers. So let's go back to the layer that we were drawing the flowers on and then start filling in our flowers. I am not actually bothering to erase the hair beneath because I'm pressing very hard with this brush. It basically covers up anything that would be underneath it. Actually see them. I have to go over in a little bit more because sometimes it wasn't as white as I'd like it to be. So let's go and just put another layer over here. I see that her We're her hair and her face meet some of the background that's showing through. So we'll have to take care of that also in the future. But let's continue with our flowers. Almost there. Let's finish up the second side of her of her head band now. Last flower. Okay. So I like that wasn't the last flower is less overhead, but let's go and how adding flowers to her okay. That she was holding, that she's falling behind her back. We still have a flower petal color selected. And we'll just keep going here, filling in more these flowers. Remember which of the flowers and which are the leaves. But they're only few of them. I think I remember which ones they were. Actually I might never remember which ones they were, but they will go in and fix that up. So make room for them now. Picking a nice green color for the leaves, and then go back in and fill them in by having the background color already placed. We can also have a better sense of how well we're covering these flowers and the leaves. Good representation or some of the background is showing through. Pull back and get an overview. Onto the cat. So let's take a grayish, slightly blue color. I want to have as a pure gray because that'd be a little bit boring. So I'm adding a little bit of blue in to keep it a little bit of color. Interests. Start by coloring in the head. And now on to the ear. I'm doing the e-tron separate just because I want to keep the strokes flowing in certain directions. So the paws I'm doing in circular motions to the face was a circular motion. Here was a triangular motion and a pause circular motion switches its own circles. It really isn't, really don't want you to face and upon the same stroke. So that's why we're doing each section by itself. Add in a little bit of a brighter color to add in some highlights. On the cat's face. A little bit on the pause. It just adds a little more interests and makes it not so flat. Tails, a little tricky, but we'll get that in. Last bit of this cat is its nose. So take a nice deep, darker color and I couldn't completely black, but I'm getting pretty close. Normally I would leave a little bit of a highlight by not covering everything in, but the way we do this as color completely in black and then go back for a highlight color to put in there a little bit of a touch of a highlight. For the shoes. We're going to choose pure white by double tapping on the color wheel. Now increase our brush just a little bit because it's a larger area than the cat. And now we can start coloring in her shoes. So here I'm going with the shape of the shoe. Slightly rounded lines, nothing straight across to follow the contours for their shoe. A little bit easier because of the angle. So we'll just do these parked lines back and forth. For the shoe tops we're going to choose are very dark blue. And even though I could do this on the same layer, but since I want these strong lines went back-and-forth. So let's create a new layer and do that on this new layer so that we don't have to worry about going beyond the boundaries and just clean up the edges afterwards. So here I have no problem going off the edges now because that's really what I want to have. Solid lines are solid color all the way to the edges. Forgot about the middle part of her shoe and her shoe, recalling this layer that's not the same as pants, legs, so it's very easy to erase afterwards. Any overlap? I see for the bottom half of that shoe I was not as it doesn't go all the edges much as I'd like. So what we can do, we can go to the adjustments options and choose liquefy. And from liquefy, almost use the push fairly small size and just slightly move that bottom half of the shoe. So that's now going all the way to the black line. And then just erase anything that we need to shoe is done. Time to add in our graphs that we're picking a green color, making our brush much wider. And in broad strokes laying out the grassy hill that she's beyond. Now going to a yellow color to add a little bit more color variation, lowering the opacity. So the green shows through more. Going for a darker green for a third color here. That one area, it looks a little bit too prominent. So let's go back to our orangey yellow and covered up to blend it in some more. And that will go pick a slightly darker green to add shadows where her feet are touching the grass. I'm doing this directly on the same layer as the grass. We could directly have made another layer between the grass and her shoes to color in there. Now for the final touch, we're going to go for a white vignette look. So we're going to make sure our Eraser tool is nuts as a wet acrylic as well. And they can pretty large. Let's go around and start to erase some of the background. Let's go and give it sort of a circular, erasing a circular fashion, pressing harder on the outside to make more of white. And then for the weight and the blue meet in the middle, we're going to the blur tool. We're going to blur that out so that it's more of a subtle, gradual effect for the two parts. Meet and repeat that for the base as well. First-class, erase the bottom for the most part and then go to Blur Tool and blur it back in to have a little bit more of the blue being the transparent in the background. I think we'll call that done. I think that's really good. And so here we've made this girl just using the one wet acrylic brush. Next, we're going to do this using a completely different style when that happened to like very much and it's going to come up really cool. Already. Look forward to seeing you in the next video. 5. 5. Flat art style: To start us off with this next version of coloring in this cute girl. I've made a copy of the first version and put it aside so we have easy access to different colors we'll be using. So let's go in and use our color picker to pick the color we'll use for our shirt. Going to selection tool and free hand selected and Color Fill. Make sure I'm on a new layer. And now we're going to start outlining the shirt. Make sure we go around the border. Selecting the whole area that we want to be colored, it would be possible to do a color drop. However, some of these lines don't go all the edges and so it wouldn't work exactly. So that's why I'm drawing using the selection tool to draw the whole area. And since we have color fill selected, as soon as we finished the selection, it will automatically fill it in with the color we selected. Now onto the pants, Let's go select our pants color from the reference photo and repeat the process with the selection tool. Start filling in the pants. If you make this mistake with the selection tool, too much or too little. So don't worry, we can fix that later. The pants are done. We're going to do the face. We're doing right now is laying the base color for different areas of the scroll. And then afterwards we're going to add in some shadows and highlights onto her hand. And now the colors and the shirt cuff in colors. I see here I missed a little bit of her neck. Sudden WHO and select the skin color and fill that in, pressing holding to get the red color and then in the red and a little bit more so for the color. Now by the hand, just checking over here and the sleeve. Anyplace else. I think we got it all. So now let's start and then grab the gray color from a reference photo to use for the cat. Go back to our selection tool and start outlining the left half of the cat. After you fill that in, we'll go to the other side and circling and make a selection to fill in the other side of the cat. Next up our shoes. So we'll get that dark bluish gray color. Shoes. Next to wait part of her shoes. And after we do the shoes, now it's time to do her hair. So let's grab a brown color for hair and start to outline that area. I'm not going to worry about going around to buy her flowers are we're going to select the flowers leader anyway, and it will cover up whatever is beneath it. When you zoom in here to get a little bit more precision as we go around the banks of her hair, there's a lot of little details. And when we finish this selection of a hair, it automatically fills in again. Let's go and just touch up those areas I missed. I'm doing this all on one layer. But if you want, you can make each color on its own layer. Things. There's just little areas peeking out here and there. So we're going to add some color submitted as hair, some as her skin color. Whatever makes sense. I'm just doing color picking and painting in based on which area I think should be your hair, your skin, until I don't see any more blue background. Moving on to her had been the flowers. So let's make a new layer. Sample the color with white for the petals. And now we can start coloring in here. I'm not going to be using the selection tool. I'm just going to paint it in the same way we did in the previous, previous version. And if anything goes outside the lines. So that's why it's a new layer because so we can erase and get things back to the precision that we're looking for. We'll use the same color for the petals that are on the books that she's holding. And grabbing the green to use for the leaves. I realize I forgot to color into the cat's nose. So let's go grab that color. And while we're at it, roll, just merge those layers for the flowers back with the rest of the colors here because I think we're good with that now. Here we are. We have our basic colors, the flat colors for this little girl. So we're going to do now is add in our shadows and highlights. Let's begin by creating a new layer. But before we actually start on the shadows, I rise with scope in L&D stripes on her pants legs. So let's go to our reference picture and color. Pick the darker blue because I want the thickness of the lines to be consistent all the way through. I'm going to make a new layer. That way when I draw these lines, I can overshoot the ends of her pants legs and then erase them later. Moving on to other parents. This side of the stripes, Let's go switch to our eraser tool. Remove all the parts that extend past the pants. That looks good. So let's merge those layers together so we can go back to original plan of adding the shadows. Let's go back to the layer that was when your bird and choose a shadowy color, which I tried to pick something in the purple area. Taking your brush. I'm drawing in some of them where the folds of the shirt are going to be. When it comes to adding in shadow lines. Rule is less, is more. Adding in too many will make your shirt look quickly and rumble. And that's not the look we're looking for. Now let's add in secondary shadow so that we're going to create another layer. Color. Pick her, ready for sure, go to the color sliders. We're going to break this down a little bit and bump up the saturation, touch, the touch. And that'll be the color will be painting in for our secondary shapes. Let's move on to the neck. So we're first going to debit colorful faces and color picker and then pull down the brightness. A little bit of saturation like before by the shirt and draw in a line to represent the shadow of the neck. For the shadows on her pants leg. Let's go. Blue color for the camps and we're going to darken it as well. Add a new layer, change the blending layer to multiply or put down some test code, see how it's looking, and then change the opacity to an intensity that looks good for me. And we'll use that for our shading, for our accounts. First of my block out the area that they want to shade the side of the pants, then fill that in. Then for their side following the contour of her pants leg and then hinting at some at the bottom. And while we're at it, let's add another cuff on the other side. A little bit of shadow them to. Let's just turn off that new shadow layer for a second because I realized that I didn't erase completely the stripes were the overlap and the capsule, this is cool, fixed it at first and erase their turn back on our shadow layer and erase there as well. Now the cat is just gray and that leaves blue stripes. I want to try doing a little lighter shadow on the left side. So erase that and put just a smaller line. Not so intense. It's all to your taste. And you can decide how much shadows you want to put into things. Go add some highlights to the girl's shirt. So let's go back to normal layer. Here. We're going to reverse. We're going to increase the brightness and decrease saturation. And then add in some code rim lighting exactly, but we're adding some small hints of light when it hits the edge of her shirt. Moving onto her hair. First, add in some darker lines. Long part of her hair and also by the bangs. Not to forget the top. Never been in highlights by increasing the brightness and decreasing saturation. Adding just a few highlights here and there. Yeah, let's give them a little bit of shadow and highlight treatment. Will give him a few shadows under his arms. Also hint toward the paws would be cute little shadow for his ear. Moving on to the shoe, we'll color pick the color of the white part of the shoe and darken it a bit. And then add in a little area where the shoe curves to show where the shoe is curving. I think the last little Touch Bar and Grill here is to give her some cheeks. Let's go Color Picker. She color we have from our original drawing. And then using the wet acrylic brush, we can get in a few cheeks for her. Now we're going to add in grass. So we're going back to our original picture using the color picker. And I knew there would just start adding in some graphs. We're going to go back to the selection tool and freehand and colorful and a little area of the amount of grass. And then go to our eraser tool and blended it a little bit with the background so it's a solid edge at the bottom. Lastly, let's add in a few shadows. The brightness and increasing the saturation. Going back to our mercury brush. And drawing in some darker shadows for her shoes are touching the ground. And maybe also a small hint of shadows where the grass might be casting shadows on the ground. Highlight as well. There we go. Let's take a cell for drawing the girl with flowers. 6. 6.
