1. Introduction : [MUSIC] Hi guys, hello everyone. Welcome back to my class. Today, during my class
we're going to paint lovely illustrations
in gouache style. We're going to paint florals in different pots, vases, cups. I hope people likes it. Guys you might use all your imagination,
all your creativity. It's not necessary you need to follow all my steps
that I am doing, but I hope that my
technique would be useful. Of course I would
be happy to see all your artworks that
you are creating. You might leave them in
projects and sources section. If you're ready, grab your iPad, Apple pencil, and
let's paint together. Hi guys, I'm in Gary
freelance illustrator. Welcome back to my
class and let's dive into botanical
illustration and paint altogether
beautiful florals in pots in gouache style. At the end of my class
you will learn more about Procreate and composition, especially how to use layers, clipping mask, Alpha
lock selection tool, and how to add texture, volume, and color variations
to your picture. Most importantly, you will learn how to paint gouache
illustrations with botanicals in a simple way in your painting technique. You can use illustration you create for posting on Instagram, add it to a portfolio
or sell it on Etsy, GameRoad and so on. Or just share it with someone
whom you really like. I'm sure they will
be so happy to get an illustration that
is created by you. Today, I want to show
you that gouache is so simple and it's a real fun. In the end of my
class, you can see it. Today, I will teach you how
to create texture paper, how to create artwork
from the sketch. What is composition? How to create traditional gouache illustration
in Procreate. How to paint picture
from reference picture. How to use my end
default Procreate brushes for painting
in gouache style. How to apply my new
painting technique. What does in nuances
you need to know if you want to create
gouache illustration? How to use Alpha lock
and clipping mask, how to add texture
to your artwork. I will also show you how to
add shades and highlights. I'll show you my
whole process from the start to finish
and as a bonus, I will share with you
my textured paper, custom brush set, color
palette sketch that I created. I will also add file of
my pictures that I drew. Feel free to use it for
your own art projects. This class is great for
intermediate level, also can be useful
for beginners. If you watched my
previous classes and experienced artists, probably here you can
find an inspiration in new ways how to paint botanical illustrations
in gouache style. Your class project will be next. Paint illustration
with botanicals using the tips and brushes
that I gave you today. I will use Procreate. For this class we use
iPads and Apple Pencil. If you have it or some other drawing pads or
just regular paper and paints, please join our
class. Good luck.
2. Creating Paper: [MUSIC] I think we are ready. Guys, we need to grab
our Apple pencil. First of all, I want to show
you how to create paper. We need to tap plus and
after that tap plus again. After, I 12, parent nine inches. As you see, if you have
300 DPI resolution, and maximum layers that
we can have is 51. Tap Create. This is
our today's paper. As you see, this is almost
the size of our iPad. Why I changed the size of our
paper a little bit today, because I want to place more botanicals on a paper and create some
lovely composition. What we should do, we'll create a couple of new layers
and after that, our next step, we need to export all our freebies
into the Procreate. How to do, guys, when you open my class, please do it in browser. It can be Chrome
or Safari because if you open my class
in Skill share app, my freebies might
not be visible. The next step where you
can find all my freebies, in Projects and
Sources section in the right corner under
the headline Resources, you can see all my freebies. You download them. After that you can find them in Downloads folder in
your files app on iPad. Now let's export our paper. You need to tap Action button, tap Add, and tap Insert a file. After that you go
to Downloads folder and you will find
our papers there. This is our gouache paper. I will rotate it and I
will press Fit to screen. But you see, because the size is a little bit too
big of our canvas, we need to move our paper
to the edges like this. Next step, let's
duplicate our layer and blend in layer mode to
linear burn and color burn. After that, we need to
duplicate linear burn one time and merge it together. After that, duplicate color burn and merge
it together as well. Next, lower the linear
burn mode to a 50 percent like this, maybe even 55. Great and don't
change the opacity in our color burn mode,
it's totally fine. Next, you select two layers
and you press Group. After that, we
need to rename it. We can write Paper. Next, we will rename one of the layers and we will
write to Paint here. Now, let's duplicate this
layer a couple of times. Perfect. Great. Then, now the paper is created. Guys, once again, pay attention when you
create your artwork. When you paint, please do it underneath our
paper layer group. Now I want to show
you how to export our sketches into the Procreate. Great. As you see, you split the screen, you place this Procreate app in the right corner and Files
tab in the left corner. Now I have another folder because I created
those sketches, but all your sketches will
be in Downloads folder. What you should do next, you will just go and tap, drag, and drop the sketch
here into the Procreate. You might see it here. That will create one more layer, turn off this one. I want to drag and
drop all the sketches into the Procreate because later we're going to
create lowly composition. Same, you will do with
this color palette here, and same you will do
with our brushes. You just need to
drag and drop it into the Procreate
and it will be in M on color palettes and it will be M on your brush sets. You see, this is a
brush set. That's it. Now, if you don't
need this Files app, so just move it a little bit. Here already, I have
for you sketches. As you see here, we
have our sketches, that I already created. We have some variations
and options here, but once again, I'll
also show you how to actually create and I'll show you the reference
how to create a sketch. That's pretty simple. Also, I will show you the brushes. Let me show it to you. Here we have a pretty
small brush set. Actually, I created for
you three new brushes and this is one native
Procreate brush. For today's class we just need four brushes and that's it. Native Procreate
brush Inka brush, I do like to use
it as a sketcher. There's a liner, it's perfect. Next, boo gouache brush. I'll increase the size. This brush is amazing
because it can show you some color variations and it creates very authentic feeling. Next boo gouache blender. This brush you might
use as a blender or you can use it as
a brush as well. Last one, boo grainy. This is some shader. It will help you to add some texture to your
gouache artwork. I'll show you later
how it works. You will see it. It's very cool, if you wanted some grains. Let's clear it. Now, speaking about color palette, we're going to use
this color palette for our today's class. I showed you everything. I explained you how to
create texture paper. Now, let's jump into our next part where
I'll show you how to create sketches and how to
use reference pictures. /
3. Creating Sketch: We are ready to move
to the next part. Here, I'll show you how to use reference picture and how to use my sketches that I
already created. First of all, we need to export our reference picture into the
Procreate. How to do that. You need to go to action button, go to canvas, and after that tap reference. I have to then go
to Image and you may go to your camera
roll or you can import the image from the downloads folder
and export it here. This is our reference
picture for today's class. First of all, guys, I'll show you how to create a sketch and how to
use reference picture. We will go to Inka brush. We will create one more
layer underneath this one. First of all, I'II show you
how to use our sketches, how to use our
reference pictures. I like this reference
and I'm going to use it for our today's sketch.
Which should we do? Of course, you can take
this reference picture, export it to the layers, lower the opacity, and after just trace it. But if you want to practice
your painted skills, you want to try to
paint yourself, that's great option, great idea. I'll show you how to do that. We already have
reference picture. Next thing that we should do, you have two options. First of all, if
you paint waists or something that is
very symmetrical, you will go to Actions button, you go to canvas and
after you go and press Drawing Guide and have to press Edit Drawing Guide,
and write symmetry. Perfect. After that, go
to options and be sure that assisted drawing is turned on, that's
very important. After that tap
"Done", after that, you see when you
paint from one side, you also paint automatically from another side side as well. You see it's easier to paint the waist or whatever
your paint or pot. If you don't like it, you might go to liquefy
tool, grab, push, and push it a little
bit like this, low versus size and push this. Now, Perfect. Next we
need to paint the rope, I think it's called
rope, like this. Now, our aim is to turn
off our drawing guide. What we're going to do
it, you go to Canvas, turn off our drawing guide. But you see it's still
working. What should we do? In this way you
might go and press Drawing Assist turned off
and now wherever you paint, it's just for one side. Our next step, we need
to paint this label. So try to paint rectangle. You also use Inka
brush as an eraser. Control the size eraser, don't use too big an eraser. Next here, you need to paint
the rope from this side. Erase some overlap
and that's important. Here you can paint whatever
like basil or you can just paint to my friend or my love. Here, you can paint a heart. We're done with this our pot. Now let's paint flower. You can paint any
floral you like, you can just imitate
the same floral here. We need to draw the stem. After that go and
paint some leaves. You might just use
your imagination and draw something like add some florals or
whatever you like. This is the first one and I want to draw the second
stem over there. Voila, we have our
sketch based on a reference and once again,
you didn't trace it. But this is also a good
option, but once again, if you don't feel confident
while painting botanicals, if you want to practice, you might just use a
reference picture and look at the picture and just try
to paint a similar one. Once again, it's not important. It's not necessarily you will
paint exact one, botanical. You might add some variations, you might change the style, you might change
the shape of a pot. Anything you want,
It's your artwork, it's your imagination and you are free to do
whatever you want. We've done with this part. We still have our
reference picture. Let it be because we're
going to use some colors. You want to check how to use, what to paint and so on. I like this lovely sketch. I will turn it off. If you want, we can use it, we can paint as well. It's up to us. Our next step is we're going to create
lovely compositions. As you see I created, I paint some botanicals
separately from the pots. The pots are here and our
aim is to choose a pot that we like and we're going
to create some composition. We're going to combine
pots and flowers together and have to place it
here on our paper. I think for flowers
would be pretty enough. I paint six pots and
plenty of flowers. More than six for sure. Let's start with pots. I think it's a good idea. If you decide to draw this
plant, we already have it. I'm going to use it and I'll
make it slightly smaller. I place one here. Second pot, press
copy and paste, and place it here. Now, let's think
which flowery want to use for this pot.
What do we have? This is very lovely. We have plenty of flowers and sometimes it's
so hard to choose. I think I wanted to use this
one, it's very unusual. If you're going to use
just three branches, but they look amazing, Copy and Paste as
well. Turn it off. Turn on our Ways. You're going to use a Free
Form and try to fit it in, and have to just try to
erase the parts that you don't need, like this. Go to our Ways and erase
overlapping, like that. You're going to
combine it together. Later we're going to
place it on our paper, so we already have
two lovely florals. Be careful use Uniform
for this time. If you want, we can extend the
size of our paper, if it's not enough space. Turn off, turn off. Let's move to next port. I think I want to use this one. I'll press Copy and Paste. I want to paint
sunflowers, stay here. Next, grab Eraser, go to our pot, or you can grab Selection Tool, Freehand, and
select Overlapping. Cool. We already
have more flowers. Let's place them together, merge together and
place them here. Yeah, probably we will need to change the size of our paper. But it's pretty simple
to do, I'll show you. You're going go
to Action button, tap Canvas and tap
Crop and Resize. Now just move it a
little bit to this part. It can be, you can
go to Settings, you see it to a block 13 per 9, not 12 per 9. Don't worry about the paper, you also can fix it. You're going to go to Paper, go to choose the Selection tool and just move it a little bit. Perfect. We need
one more floral, let's think what it might be. Turn off, turn off, turn off. Let's going to pot, and I think wants it to be like, maybe this lovely pot, and press Copy and Paste. Now, I think about the flowers, we have so many options. Now let's paint
this Monstera leaf, press Copy and Paste,
then remove overlappings. I created one more leaf. Now, merge it together. Great. When we rotate the paper, we do have more space for
our lovely art works, for our lovely plants. I think this plant is too
simple for our illustration, so I want to make it
a little bit more complicated. What I should do? I want to change this plant, I want to use this pot, and I want to change this plant into another
plant because I think we need to
add more flowers. What are we going to do?
I will select this plant, also press Copy and
Paste, turn it off. Now let us return
to our layer where I merged together
all our plants. I'll go grab Free hand and I will delete the plant and
switch it to another one. Three fingers down
and I'll press Cut. Perfect. Next step, I'll go to our
plants that I like, and I do like source florals. I think it would be so
beautiful to paint it, and a little bit
more complicated. Let's try to challenge ourselves and try to use more
complicated plants. After that press Copy and Paste. Turn it off. Here, let's rotate our plant. Be careful, go to Uniform tool. Also be careful with
the proportions, it should be very organic and erase overlapping,
like that. Now as you see some
of the plants, they are very close
to each other, so we can switch the places. What I will do is, I will merge together
this plant with the pot, three fingers down and
press Cut and Paste. Do same, select this plant, use Selection tool and
just move it to the top. Lovely. Now we have
our lovely Monstera, place it a little bit lower, merge together, and
a little bit lower. Our sketch is ready. Guys, I hope now you understand how to use the
sketches that I created, how to create
sketch by yourself, and let's move to the next
part where we're going to paint all those
plants one by one, all together. Let's go.
4. Creating 1st Illustration: Gouache: [MUSIC] As I had told you at the
beginning of our class, we're going to use some stylish variations
of coarse style. That means that I've a paint in just solid coarse style and I won't to mix
colors too much. The other way is that I will combine gouache
and ink together. Also, I will just try to mix
the colors and it will be a coarse style where
we're going to blend a lot. Let's get started. I think we are ready. I will start with our first
illustration, this one. We're going to use this
pot as an example. Let's get started. I'll create one more
layer that is underneath. Guys, also you can
lock the sketch. But before that, I want to lower the opacity a little bit. I will lock the sketch and set. Can help us to avoid
painting on it. After that, we create one more
layer that is underneath. We're going to grab
boo gouache brush. Now, we can decide which
color we like most. Maybe this is beige
color, like brick color. If you want, you can lower
the opacity and color will not be set bright. Also control the size. A little bit
brighter color here. Also remember, like I told you, that when you lift your upper
pencil from the screen, you will have some
variations of the color. Next, darker color. Here we show some shape. Also as a blending tool, you can use boo gouache blender and you can blend
it a little bit. Now we need to slightly brighter
color and also blend it. The same as this part as well. Some bright color here. We also need to paint
the rope later. Slightly lighter. Now blend it too. I like how it blends,
it's so organic. Like that. Next, we need to paint the tag. I'm going to use this
bright blue color. Later, I'm also going
to use some shades. Also what I like about the
gouache brush is that it doesn't have any transparency. You don't need to
duplicate the layer a few times and after try
to delete the transparency, remove it, no. It's great because
if you need to paint some color on top of previous
color, you can do it. Now slightly lighter color. Here, white color. Blend in too like that. Now rope, yellowish color. Brighter color and
some dark yellow. Be careful, don't use
dark color because it would be the same
color with our pot. My love, if you like you can create
one more there above. Grab bluish color, grab inker brush,
maybe dark blue, and you can write my
love here like that. Next we have some plant. Let's return to our layer. Now, our aim is to
mix some colors. Boo gouache brush, mix
some shades together. This is interesting because
we can't use just one solid, like one green color,
of course, no. We need to add some
color variations. Some of the leaves
we'll paint with one shade and other leaves we'll try to use another color. This brush brushes
sensitive, which is cool. If you press harder you
will have thicker shade. Now I want to change the color and grab
this greenish one. You see I changed the shade
of, let's say, green color. Be careful here. Let's return and grab
darker shade and paints the leaves that is
behind the rest. You can paint also leaves layer by layer on different layers. That would be easier because
you can avoid overlapping. I want to challenge myself. [LAUGHTER] I want to try
to paint everything on a new layer or I want to paint
everything on one layer. Done. You see,
it's so beautiful. Now flowers. So the flowers will be blueish. I'm going to paint the
base which is here. Now slightly darker color
because behind we have [inaudible] I need to return to green color and
add more stems, like that. Lighter color, boo
gouache brush. Perfect and done with his part. Now I want to create
one more layer underneath and I want
to add some background. I'll increase the size. I want to paint a rectangle. I think I want to
experiment with the colors. Go to adjustments, press
hue saturation brightness. Increase the brightness,
improve the saturation. It looks amazing. Like that. Now this is not the end, we need to add some details. How to that. Let's
return to our layer. Create one layer above
and we will clip it. Next, let's return to the sketch and lower
the opacity even more, like this. Lock it again. Let's return to the
layer that we clipped. I want to add some
color variations. The next step,
you're going to grab boo gouache blender,
grab bluish color. I want to add some shades. We need to add some volume. Now, white-color. Next, grabbed boo gouache
brush, lower the size. I want to add some dots. Now lighter ones. Now darker, like that. It's very artistic. Next, I will go to inker brush. I want to add some tiny bit of shades and I want to separate the vase from
the plant of course. Same as the plant. Cool. We separated
it a little bit. Now, we still need
to add some shades. How to do that? I'll merged it together to create
one more layer. Also clip it, will not change the
blending layer mode. Grab boo gouache brush. It's totally normal if
it's a little bit too dark because later I'll just lowers the opacity of the mode. Likes that. Do the
same with leaves like this. Now let's lower the opacity a little
bit. I like it. Merge that together. We've done with our
first painting. Now we have three more. Let's do it step-by-step.
5. Creating 2nd Illustration: Gouache and Ink: Well, guys, we have done is our first
illustration and now we can move everything
to one group. I select all the layers
and out press "Group". Now write first illustration. Now if you go to the layer
underneath and guys pay attention for our second
layer if you're going to keep our inking layer. What should we do next? We unlocked our sketch. Great. Now I need to
go to the layer where we have the sketch
grab selection tool. Grab freehand and select
our sketch after that, press "Copy & Paste". Perfect. Now we need to
lock our sketch again, move our selection, our sketch, and paint on the layer that is underneath our sketching layer. If you're going to keep
this selection and I do like the way it looks,
it's brilliant. This is a second way how we can paint our lovely
illustration. Next, what we're going to do is we grab our book wash brush. Grabs this yellowish color. Perfect. Control the size. It's fine. You can
color our petals it's okay because we
can overlap later. This brush is not
semi-transparent so we can paint above
this color later. Wonderful. Next
what I'm going to do is I've grabbed
slightly darker color. I want to put it here. Wonderful. As you
remember is this is sunflowers and you need to
have our reference picture, Canvas, and reference picture. This one. This is our
reference that we made. We have a basket and we have the sunflowers and
as you might see we have the brown color here
as well. Let's do it. Once again why are these brushes
cool because as you see, you might have different
color variations while using just one brush. This amazing. I won't blend it. I like the way how it looks now. Next, I'll create one
more layer above. That's very important, and I'll start with bright orange color. Here you need to be
careful because you won't remove the sketch layers. It means that you need
to be very accurate. Once again, if it's
too orange for you, you might go and grab
slightly lighter color. Guys I'm going to
speed up the video in order to save time
but once again, for you take the
time that you need that you want,
it's totally fine. The most importantly is you should be satisfied
with your art work. Trying to pay attention to it. The petals from the sunflower we paint on a new layer
because later I'm going to add some shades
to the basket to separate the leaves
from the basket. As you see, I made this
color slightly lighter. It's light yellow color. Same I'm going to do here. As you see, we use the same brush,
the same color bars at three petals so the
next two chatters, they have completely different
hue, which is great. Great. Now grab green color. Also, let's create
one more layer. Grab pretty bright green color. Maybe slightly darker. It is great but I think we need to add a little bit of shades. What I'm going to do is I'll create one more
layer underneath. I want to fill all the areas you see with the green color. Great. Now we need to add
some background picture. How to do that? Actually, we're going to
go to our previous layer. I will duplicate it and
I'll move it underneath. I'm going to move it here. I'm going to keep it that way. Blending tool. Now I want to change the color. For that, we go to hue,
saturation, brightness. Now we play with the hue. I do like this blue color. I'm going to keep
it. Now it's time to add some shades. How to do that? We also will add
some white color because I think it's a
little bit too dark. First of all, we need to
create one more layer above, but underneath our
sketching layer. I will grab boo gouache blender brush and
I'll grab this green color. Now, also pay attention, we need to clip it. Now the layer is in
clipping mask mode. I'm going to add some shades to the green color,
jazz green color. I added shade to the leaves. The next step, what
we're going to do is I want to add some shades to
this green color as well. I'll create one more layer
above this green color. Now I'll press "Clipping Mask." Now I can play with some shades and add
some color variations. It looks more realistic. The next step is, I do like the way how it looks so I'm going to
mask it together. I'll go to our basket
and I'll press "Clipping Mask," like
what we did before. Next, I'll grab this bright
orange color and I'll move the blend in layer mode to multiply so it will help us
to add some kind of shades. I think it's even too
orange as for me, but I do like it. Grab blending tool as a blender. We are going to use Boo
gouache blender brush. You'll blend it a little
bit, just tiny bit. I'm going to add some shades to the black heart of
the sunflower like this and I'm going to
add some shade here. Grab reddish color, blending tool like this. Next step, I'm going
to go and I want to add more color variations. You see on a basket
we have some lines. We need to emphasize them. Don't worry, they shouldn't
be that accurate. Grab blending tool. Increase
the size of the blender, it makes the lines not
that obvious, like this. Great. Later, we're going
to add some highlights. Next, I like the
way how that looks. I'll merge it together. Let's go to petals, multiply, Clipping Mask. Little bit more orange color. As you see, some of the colors
next to the seeds they're very reddish that's
why I want to show it. Of course not everywhere. This brush when you
use it as a brush, it's also a good blender itself. Now I use this
brush as a blender. Flowers' size a little bit. I need to grab
bright yellow color, create one more layer. Why do we need to
create one more layer? Because I don't want to change
the blender layer mode. I want to keep it normal
because if you choose multiply, it will be pretty dark and
we don't need that for now. Now, white color. Now we
need to add some highlights like this. It looks good. Next step, I still want
to add some highlights so I'm going to merge it
together to our leaves. Clip it just a little bit here. Merge it together to same
with our basket. Clip it. Here I'm going to lower the
opacity a little bit later. Because this is highlights, you need to choose an area
where we don't have shades. Now, I will lower the
opacity just a little bit. Now merge it together. Now I want to go to our
sunflowers and I want to change the hue a
little bit because, as for me, it's a
little bit too reddish. I want to change this
for a while and I want to separate it from the basket. I increase the
saturation and I want to make it brighter like this. You also can go to curves
and play with curves, but for me, it's
already pretty good. You can go to basket and make it a little bit darker like this. I want to add a little
bit of highlights here, not too much. I want to add some shades from the sunflower. How to do that? Create a layer, clip
it, move to multiply. If you want to, you can
grab even bluish color. It's totally fine. We've done with our
second illustration. I hope you enjoyed it as well. What we're going to
do, I'll merge it together like this and I want to merge
everything together. Guys, we are ready to move to our third illustration,
this one. I unlock it and make it
a little bit visible. In this illustration, I'm
going to show you how to use blending layer mode
a lot of times how to use blending brush and I hope you will
like it. Let's go.
6. Creating 3rd Illustration: Blending Technique : Great. We're ready to paint
our third illustration. We're going to grab boo gouache black brush and as you see see the vase is beautiful
and it's so colorful, so artistic, so I hope you will like painting this vase as well. Now, we need to select it all the three layers and
we need to group them. Wonderful. I'll
duplicate the layer. I grab boo gouache brush, pretty bright blue color. Increase the size. Grab darker color. It's fine if you make
some mistakes later, you just can erase it. Let's grab inka
brush as an eraser then gently erase the parts
that went beyond the lines. I already like how it looks. But of course, we need
to add more details. In this illustration,
you're going to blend a lot of times. I changed the style of the vase a little bit to see. I simplified it. Lower brush size
and keep coloring. Okay. Brilliant. Let's create one more layer above and I want to paint a branch of tree. I don't have reference
picture for that but I think you don't need it. Just go ahead and you can just follow my steps or
you can just go and choose any tree branch
you like or you can just choose another flower as a botanicals and
add it to the vase, because for this
illustration vase is the most important today. Because we're going to
learn how to mix colors, how to make our gouache
illustration very realistic. Guys, I'm going to
speed up the video because it will take us some time to finish
our filings of color. Wonderful. Now it's time to
start blending the colors. We're done with this
part now let's return to our ways and let's grab
boo gouache blender. Next step we need to
press Alpha lock. Why do we do that? Because
when we blend here, sometimes some
lines can go beyond the lines beyond our vase
and we don't need that. But when we press Alpha
lock and we start blending, you see we can't go
beyond the lines. We just [inaudible] and
that's what we need. That's very convenient. Now, I want to blend area. Our aim is to make
it more natural. It looks good. I need
to blend anything here. That's great. You can
increase the size. I like this blending. Now next step we need to
start adding some shades. I forgot about this shade
here you see from our vase. We can turn off our
Alpha lock mode. We are on a new layer that
is underneath always. Grab dark blue color, blue gouache brush, increase the size like that. You like it? We also need to add some background
color like we did before. Same, I will duplicate the layer without background
picture mode underneath. Move it actually here. Be careful, don't change the
size because I want to keep the proportions and
make everything same. Blend. Great. Looks wonderful. I want to change the
color, of course. Go to hue, saturation and brightness and think
about the colors. I think this color
would be wonderful. I don't want change
it. Keep it that way. We've done with this part. Let's erase some
overlappings here. Now it's time to start adding
some shades. How to do it? Same what we did
before, remember, when we used clipping mask. Go grab, multiply. This time we will grab
boo gouache brush to add some shades. Let's do it. It's fine if you think
why is it just too dark. It's totally fine.
We're going to lower the opacity later. Let's just pretend
that the source of the light is from
the left side here. That means it's the right
side will be in the shadow. That's what we're
going to show here. That means this part of the tree trunk will
be slightly darker. Be careful. Two objects
are next to each other, we'll also have shades. Again, cool. Now, like I told you, we
will lower the opacity. You see now it's
not that bright, so 50 percent off like this. Now, I want to add more shades and some other color variations. How to do it, create
one more layer here. It's in a clipping mask mode. Let's think which
colors we can add. You already have this color. Maybe we can add
some highlights. Be careful with the highlights, we can't too much of them
because in this way, the lines might not
be that visible. But it's fine. Like I told you, we're going to blend a
lot in this illustration. All the shades and
highlights that we have, later we won't need to blend. The final touch, I'll create one more layer, set it as a clipping mask mode. I won't change the
blending mode, I will grab dark brown color, and I want to show the
shade one more time. Why do everything
on a new layer? Because later I
want to blend it, and if I place everything all in one layer and when I blend it, I might smudge the colors and you will not
see this great end. That's why we would need
to do it step-by-step, in order to keep the
depth of the artwork. Like I told you, in watercolor
and same in gouache, contrast is very important. Our aim is to try to show the
depth of the illustration. It should be dynamic. I'll blend that later. Now I want to add some
shades to our vase. Clip it. Also you see, you might
not see that here, but underneath, our main vase, like the ball, we would have a shade. That's very important.
Don't worry, later I'll blend it. Same here. Inside of the vase, there will be shadow
in this area as well. Here there is a shadow,
and some shade here. Also in this part. Actually clipping mass
is a very similar to the Alpha lock, but the only one difference is when we use
clipping mask mode, we paint on a new layer. But with Alpha look, we paint on the same layer. Now, I'll lower the opacity
to 80 percent. Grab even darker shade, some bright bluish
color like this. Now it's time to
blend everything. We're going to
grab blending tool and just say what we did before, controls the size, it
shouldn't be too big. Try to smudge colors
like naturally. Be careful with this part. We can blend it a little bit, but not too much. It just takes some time here. If it's first time, you can't blend it perfectly, it's fine, it's just
time of practice. You can just paint
a few vases or some other objects and eventually you will
like your artwork. You will like what you
blend, how you blend. I like the vase. If you can add a little
bit of highlights and we can do it now. Clipping mask, same white-color. We also have some
white shades here. Control the size. Lower the size of the blending brush and
blend it carefully here. Very, very careful. Now, I think we'll need
our sketching layer. We have this one, so we
can turn it off like this. It looks very beautiful. Also guys, remember
about the white color. We have some reflections
in this area. It might not be set obvious, but we will have it. A little bit from this
side. You see here. Also what else you
might do, if you want, you can create a layer, clip it, grab gouache blender, use it as a brush and after as a blender and you
can make the shade, not that straight it. If you want, you can play
with opacity like that. Now, let's return to
our tree branches. I'll merge it together and
I'll merge together the vase. Now tree branches, we will go to each of them and
I want to blend it. I'll start with the
brightest color. Our aim is to try to make it
as realistic as possible. It's a sharp lines. But drawings again,
it's up to you guys. I'll just show you the
way and if you like, maybe you want to
keep it that way. You don't want to blend it
but you still can do it. You see it's beautiful, itself
without blending as well. Our next illustration,
I actually will not use blending
tool at all. I will just use solid colors. Now let's move to the next part. I'm going to blend
this part down here and a little bit
of this part and there. Last part. Grab blending tool. Blend some sharpest lines. All is done. I like it. I'll merge it together. Now we can go to our
shade, grab blending tool. If you like, you have an option, you can blend the edges.
You see like this. Because I thought maybe
edges are too sharp. I actually like it. Guys, we're done with
our third illustration. Now, let's move to next part and in our next illustration, I won't use blending
tooling at all. I will just use gouache brush and you'll see what
you'll have in the end.
7. Creating 4th Illustration: Layering Technique: Guys, our last illustration. There is one Tara,
three leaves here. This is different as you
might see and later, I'm going to remove
Zara's kitchen layer. I think we are ready to
start, but before that, I selected all the layers
from our previous painting. I'll group it, rename and write
third illustration. Wonderful. Paint here. One layer underneath and I'll
grow blue gouache brush, grab pretty bright green color. Let's feel all the
leaves with this color. Be careful, because this illustration is
underneath our third one. I'll place it on a top. Guys, I'm going to speed up the video in order to save time. Now I'm going to
show you some trick. If you wanted to save time, if you see that you
have some overlapping, if you went beyond the lines, grab eraser and it's so simple just erase by the
controls the size of the eraser, and erase the parts that you don't need or
where you made a mistake. For me, eraser help
me to save the time, then just like accurately color everything
like leaf by leaf. Let's keep painting, they still have two more leaves. You can use the same way. Same as what we did before grab eraser and erase a part that
should be erased. Like that. Last leaf I'm going to create one
more layer underneath, because later I'm going
to shade it a little bit. Done now we need to return to
previous layer and paint stamps. Wonderful. Now we need to
paint lovely baby plants. I will grab pretty
bright green color. I don't know what is
the name of that, is it tiny baby leaves, or tiny Monstera baby leaves. Speaking about those tiny lines, we can grab inka brush. Okay, done. Now we
can paint our ways. One more layer underneath brown color, boo gouache brush, erase over lipids. Good. Create one
more layer above. Let's think about the color, about our background
color as well. Let me think maybe some
pinkish color or purple. I think pink would
be interesting. I don't have the
reference picture for the leaves because I
took it from my head. It will not be a problem for us because we are going to
color it as a typical cube. We need to find where
the source of the light comes from and after
add some shades. If you don't need to
remove the transparency, that's so convenient,
you can't imagine. But you can imagine of course. Here a little bit brighter, brighter color from this side. I know it's a little
bit too early. But I wanted to show
some to separate. White dots. I'll grab white color. Create one more layer
above boo gouache brush. Guys why I didn't
simply erase it, because later we're going to add some background color
and if I simply erase, so we will have the
background color also here, like in a vase and
I just want to keep it white Beautiful. Now I think we can lower the
opacity of our sketch layer. Deal like seven percent. Lock it again. This side, spots [inaudible] Now I like it. Next part we need to add
some background color. I'll create one more
layer underneath. Remember what we did before? Here. We'll just
go and replicate our layer and move it
on top and put it here. We can flip it like that. Now I want to change
the color of course. I like it. I like
this pink color. It looks so lovely, so tasty you might tell, is it right here. I increase the
saturation a little bit. That will be our
background color. Next step, you see if we
have some gaps in color, so I want to blend it. I'll press "Alpha Lock", grab blending brush
as a blender, boo gouache blender I use and blend this carefully. Once again, why it's cool to use Alpha Lock because I don't
go beyond the lines. Turn off, Alpha lock turn on, Alpha Lock on, and
other two leaves. But guys, as you see here, I just blend the gaps. Doesn't mean that I want
to blend the shades no, like I told you, when
we use the colors, we won't blend it. I just blend some gaps when I add it to color and that's it. Now, in the future if you
want to use blend at the top, if you want to add shades, we will do it by layering, but not by blending. Now let's forget
about blending tool. We don't need it for now. We don't need it at all. At our today's, the
last illustration. Grab boo gouache brush, I think we are ready to
start adding some shades. Well, let's start with a plant. Once again, we have
some reference. I'll create one more
layer and I'll clip it. Grab darker color
and once again, we have some shade
from the leaves. Now grab a lighter color and we need to separate
our stems from the jar. Also, remember where
we have two objects, we have to shade,
greenish color. Same here. I can now from you have shade, onset plant create one
more layer clipping mask because it's next to another
one and for this one, I'll change the plan, to layer mode to
multiply because I wanted to fit there
as the leaves. Like speaking about the colors, it's fine, don't worry, I will lower the opacity later. We have to shade here. Let's return. Let's create one more layer. Move it to Multiply blended
layer mode and as you see, I started adding shades
to another two leaves. I told you that we will have
shade from both leaves, even though they're lighter. Why we need to do
that on a new layer? Because we can control
the opacity and we can control the intensity
of a color. Now it's time to
control the intensity. You see it might
be not set scary. The intensity might not be so
dark. That's what we need. Like it. Now let's look
at the leaves here. For us, it would be easier just to merge together everything. Now I want to go to baby
plants also clip it, move to multiply. Grab brighter color. I wanted to show the
shades here as well. Under the leaves here
we'll have some shadows. We have two plants next
one to each other. Here we can lower the opacity just
a tiny bit, you see I. Now let's create one
more layer in between. Also, move it to multiply. Now let's look at our leaves. Now lower the opacity. The next step and the
last one we have to multiply and we need to
grab a darker color. In areas such as
the darkest ones, you can show the shade, but of course, don't
do it everywhere. Now lower the opacity
like we did before, but just a little bit,
do same as our leaf. [inaudible] merge it together. Now same as leaves clip
and mask, multiply. Again, remember we don't use blending tool. The light source comes
from the left side, it means that the right side
will be very very in shadow. Now it's time to move
to another leaf, clipping mask, multiply. Now next step we can lower
the opacity a little bit, we can put here. Okay next step we
need to add a little bit off veins to the flower. Merge together, merge together. Be careful these brush
is pressure sensitive, don't press too hard. It looks very cool. I think we don't need our
sketch layer anymore, we can turn it off. It looks great, but we also need to add more shades and
we're going to do it later. Now let's return to our layers. I'll create one more
layer to our dots, press clip and mask, grab Boo gouache brush,
pretty bright color. I think I would like to grab gray color and then you have to show some shades for dots. Because we can't have
just solid white color, of course we will
have some shades. Wonderful, now let's
merge it together. Let's create one more
layer above our vase. Press clip and mask
and move to multiply. Here, don't worry, I will
lower the opacity later. The area around dots will
be a little bit darker. Now shade here, increase the size, this part will be darker. Now we can lower the opacity, like this and keep adding
more shades and highlights. Create one more layer, clip it, move to pretty bright color, grab Boo gouache brush, lower the opacity like this. Grab even darker color, move to multiply, place it on top because I want it to
be pretty pretty dark. If you want, of course,
you can blend it, it would be even more realistic
but for me I like it. Like I told you, we have
shades from the objects. If you want you can also
add some variations, add some reddish
color, it's up to you. You can erase if
you don't like it. For me it looks interesting, but I want to add probably
purplish color, eraser. It looks very interesting. As I promised to you, I want to add some shades
and some highlights to our, so I can merge it together. I forgot to add some
shades to our soil, I'll clip it, multiply, eraser and we have some. Like it. Merge it together, same base our leaves. Create one more layer, clip it, grab almost white color and after that you can lower the opacity and erase the
parts that you don't like. The same with another leaf
clip it, Boo gouache brush. Remember the reflection
is from the left side, the light source you
will have it here. Eraser and lower the opacity. Also, I want to add
more shade a little bit, same layer. Yes, they also have
color variations. We've done with our
last illustration. Now we don't need our
reference picture. As you see, they created four beautiful illustrations
in gouache style. This is actually
opposite style to tie like lost but this is
just my preference. The other option
you might combine your gouache illustration to
look altogether with ink. That also looks amazing. Or you can just blend everything
like what we had here. The last option where
you don't blend at all, you just use gouache brush, actually one gouache brush
and it also looks amazing. I hope you enjoyed our
today's tutorial and you learned something new about gouache painting in procreate. In our next class, I'll show you how to paint palm tree in gouache
and watercolor style. I'm actually going to show
you how to draw them, I hope you will like that. Guys if you have any
questions, suggestions, recommendations you might leave them in discussion section. Let's see each other in
the new class. Bye bye. This is the end of our class, and now you know how to paint lovely florals in gouache
style in different pots. I hope you will
learn something new from my class and you
have lots of inspiration. I wish you luck
with your artworks. Let's see each other in
the new class. Bye bye.
