How to Draw CHIBIS! in Procreate

1. Intro: Hello and welcome back to draw with bulbar and this tutorial we'll be learning how to sketch, ink and finally, paint your own Chevy stickers. Follow along to learn today. 2. Sketching: Hello, every illustration starts with the kid base. So we're going to use the blue color to start our sketch that you want to go into your sketching pellet and find a good pencil to sketch with. So I'm gonna be using the HB pencil today. Says wherever you're doing your TV version of Duik GU or can actually start plotting out the major forms, pretty much the head, body size and stuff. So to start, we're having to do the head size. We're going to start with the big, really good big size circle. Right in the center of the page above. You wanted to leave a little bit of room on the bottom for the body for the parties, since it's a Chevy, let's do a little cube body goalpost like say gum drop. Let's do some legs to seize tubes for the legs and then for the shoe. Let's just plot them out. With these almost like shoe boxes. To make it easier. For perspective, we're just going to draw these two big shoe boxes. And for the poles, Let's just match the pose of the illustration on the left. Just so we have her somewhere to play with. I'm going to add a circle right here for the Kula bar code. It goes towards the body. Excel. So we have one arm right there, the other arm, Let's draw the circle for the other fish. Go out back. And so the body does look a little big. So I'm going to take your lasso tool on the top-left. We actually increase the size of the body. Just so it's a little cuter. Maybe almost like the head is half the size or meet the head is twice the size of the body. So this is a foundation sketch looking pretty good. And as he could, as you know, this is pretty much primary shapes. There's no details anyway. We're going to separate the head into clouds just so we have a little bit easier to work with. So once you have your pose of shapes, good, scale this up so we have more room to work with Excel. I'm going to add another layer on top of it. We're getting to lighten the sketch layer. We're gonna do another sketch layer, but this time we're going to go into more detail with their foundations and the foundations. The same blue, we're going to start marking out some details of deck. You will get a markup of mouth right around here. We're just going to add us oval. I think that should match up the left side, right here. The mouth. We can change the expression later if we don't like it, but for now, let's match the expression gave him two big eyes, almost circular. I'm either side of the center line. Let's give him a little bit bigger eyes than the left because he's a trippy. I'm going to highlight circle. I should go treat the mouth a little bit because it does look a little bit too round. So I'm just going to use the flat brush that the eraser erase it. I'm going to choose a mouth-feel cute. Her mouth too. Just had his tooth on the top. So let's plot how the two eyebrows. When you're doing the sketching phase, you don't have to be perfect with the details. As you can see, I'm doing multiple marks, just going to erase the ones that don't want to keep the ones I like with face almost blocked. And let's just shape of the face a little bit more. I'm going to draw a line on the side right here. The curve it out just for a little cheek. Again to darken this just so you can see it. Good. Go down their face, little out for the cheek and on this side, get it in the face around this point. Start pull out of your ear, the ear, we can simplify just a curve of the two lines like that. That's looking good. Now we can focus on dequeues, hair. Simplify a little bit. Let's just draw in as much detail as we can, but follow the concept on the side. We're just going to go through. For in as much as 30 tells us we care. I mean, you can sketch a lightly the shape of the hair just so we have some follow. Not too much, not too little. It's looking good. Let's continue to add these wild little spikes all around Michigan and move him just a little lower. I'm just going to combine the two layers. Mealtime a little lower so we have more room for the hair. I didn't notice how big his hair was going to be. We continue to sketch his hair around. It's starting to look more like dequeue. It is a little creepy because we don't have the color. But just freshly process with two growing. Just have just looked creepy, wicked, always like either erase and start over again. That's looking good. Once the face ID here, and we can start focusing on the outfit. Hello, we're going to use sketching out the body forms. Now we're going to keep it simple because it is a chubby. So we're going to go out and start on the outfit First. Let's go with the gloves shape. Let's go a little darker. Let's give him that globe shape and then maybe simplify his club a little little thumb on the side for her repeat the same thing on the other side. Second glove. We need to add the details, this block detail than the little mask. Let's add that in here. Think that's all the details we really need for the top place to make it look like deg q. Now let's work on the belt. The belt we're given its size up the pocket just a little bit, just so you can see it. The sides, rope, belt buckle and go to lines to finish it off. And then for the boots, we're going to simplify it the same way as the gloves. We're just going to go simple and only add the details that we need. I think it's looking good. There's a lot of details or has been outfit. We have to simplify to get it in. So we're just going to add just a little bit of area. We're just going to color that red, black to indicate that that's gonna be the detail over there. And she's still feel like the queue because we have the other details in just going around detail in just a little bit more. If I do the line work, tell where to draw these details. One last thing I'm going to do is draw in the helmet or the cowl from the bank. So we're just gonna do it like that. That's looking good. 3. Ink and Outline: I want to combine all the sketch layer and lower the opacity, want it to be low enough so you can see the sketch still, but you don't want it to be dark enough. They'll overtake the declines. And we're going to switch to an EQ Metzler. In inking. Let's see if we go find a good one. Let's try out a few with Bullock and make sure you add a new layer above. This looks good, but that there is some lightness into it. I don't like pretty dark in corn. Syrup looks pretty good actually. So we're gonna use syrup from the menu to dry a little bit of thickness, but not too much. It is a chubby, so it could be a little thicker. Doesn't have to be paper thin. Now we're ready to start inking. Then this part, you just want to take your time, do What's step at a time and then erase it. You need to or do you need to? But we're just going to go throughout using the lens we have free for us for reference. Just try see how I missed this spot right here. We could just use the eraser, erase that in, or you just undo it and go back. Clean things up. It doesn't have to be perfect. You just want to get as clean as you can, but doesn't have to be perfect. It should look good regardless. But the ears, I'm just going to simplify it. I don't want to draw it in too much detail, so that looks good enough. For the hair. We can actually do a little bit to the style of my hero by drawing in maybe some black outlines. Let's try this out real quick to draw the inner black details. Fill it in with black to see what might be missing some space you want to fill in the negative space. This to work. That's looking good. So we're gonna do a little bit more of that site. Not all styles have this. So if your stickers or your character has this tail, you're trying to mimic it. Keeping it simple. Just a little more right here. And I think we're good to go. Move on. I'll leave the rest a little bit blank because I was wearing a green. Let's just draw in the rest of that. She be a little thinner, a little thick. There's gonna be some overlapping with his hand and his face. So we're going to draw it in the hands first before we draw the face. Before I do that, I'm going to miss, I miss their breath. So let's just draw those in really quick. So for the glove, let's do the clip real quick. Soak up the fingers. Feel too much like a pause. So I'm going to prefix that, maybe draw a line right here. I think it doesn't actually need the actual fingers. It could just be electrical up like thing, you know, feel a little bit more chewy. Like using little cute mittens. Little dry in the fingers that we need it. Good. Actually liked the little mittens on this right side. So I'm going to just write, feels good. Actually do the other main justice here. It looks just as good. Good now we have room to work with the face D2. So, and then let's draw in the rest of the details just going through with our sketch and just cleaning it up. I'm zooming in and out a lot just so I could see the details of the reference. A lot more. References are definitely good to double-check your work. Especially if your sketches a little vague, but if you're confident in your design or sketch, you could just double-check. Yes, ma'am. Needs a little detail rigor. And then this one, spectrum disorder, just the drug, other speculum, this side. Athens cow on the back. And let's just get in this little detail. Shirt fold line. Let's work on the lower body and we're almost done. But you try all data, you don't really need the sketch lines in America actually turn off the sketch. And then this phase, we can just use some areas, some lines, just sorry, clarity. For example, the arm overlapping the rest of the body should be a little thicker. So it stands out in front of everything. Same for here. Lecture outline a little bit. This just so it feels like it stands out. Now you can go in with a lighter touch and then detail anything you want. Just make sure to keep the lines then just so we have a lot of variety of thickness to work with. I think that's good for the ink. And now we're ready to move to color. 4. Color and Final: In the next phase we're going to be coloring in the thing. So make sure your files ready for that. We're going to add a new layer right below here. We can use this to color. And then we're going to split all the colors that are too flat colors. Every layer should have its own color. I'll go through the example real quick. So let's first say for his hair to green, we can actually just select it with a reference. Let's just color in this Eric Green. Let's try to check first to see if it works. We're going to go into our layers to the inking layer, change it to a reference. Let's say we just use this to pour in and it seemed to work perfectly fine for the hair, your hair done. We're not going to use this green and another place, so we're gonna use another layer for the next color. So let's use the alphabet color. That's looking good. And then let's just fill in as much as we can without breaking. See, this could be greenhouse, so The boatload got caught up a little bit of it should be fine though. We're going to add a red rover it. Once you're done using their color, Let's go and move on to the next. Couldn't be this grayish color. I'm going to go to the lasso tool and quick colorful, automatic. And we're just going to go in and fill in really quick. These other areas, which is use the pen to fill in the little lingering spots. Another layer and let's do the colo color. I'm just going to fill the whole globe and then will split and add blue. And the next, I miss a little bit of a gray. So according to the gray layer, fill in this. Finally read. Propose actually black, so we need to go back in for that. Let's add that same color down here. Finally, the feast, low-power. So we're going to move on really quick to see how far we didn't do one for white, for the eyes and the teeth. Good Eyes. We may have to outline it first. Just color it in. I use the red layer to do that instead of mouth, so we're not using too many layers and what's cool? Little darker, just a little lighter for the tongue. That's looking good. I think we just need a little bit of that dark blue area here. Brighten it up just a little bit more. Let's see, we could fill over the weight here. And here. Really good. Now, we could go and add the shadows. The shadows should be fairly easy. We need, if we need to address, colors would kit like adjusted. Based on the chubby. To bump this a little bit brighter. Just says it's not so dark even I do like the Corinne of this heritage has to be a little bit more saturated. So it pops up a little bit more. For shadows is really easy. You're just carrying go with each layer alpha, lock it so we can color outside of it. Actually we're going to try clipping mask. So for clicking message Cooper, pretty easy. I'll show you how to do it really easily. So you see the green right here, this layer, we're going to add a layer above it and we're going to do clipping mask. Now, anything we paint is just going to stay in that layer mask. So we're going to use this to do really clean shadows. Just go Select a little darker blue color and maybe shifted a little bit. And let's just how far do with the shadows. Using the shadows, the bottom of areas you'd think would be a shadow. This is almost like your mid tone. And don't worry about coloring outside the lines because of the clipping mask process, this should contain it all. But that later, don't forget to just move on to the next one. So the next layer, clipping masks and do the same thing. Go a little darker. Just kidding, add in the shadow areas because they're the same preference. We're a little too dark. Should be pretty dark. So switch director, you notice I went to a purple color sometimes like to do that. Just put a shadow color just to keep it interesting that I'm just going to a darker red, I just add some color. And the nice thing is if we do that as a clipping mask, we can go in here and then change up to we don't let it purple. You could go. Little bit more blue, red, feels a little purple, so they turn it to a little bit red. A movie. Just as food, burger. We're pretty much almost done. Like we can add some filter effects, but let's try some stuff out. I'm going to turn off the background layer trial, turn off the reference layer. When I shake, copy this image by copying Canvas and we're going to go paste. This should have us. This should give us pretty much our whole image in one layer so that we can play around with, without messing up or file. Move this towards the top and we can add a few things. Before we do that, let's see if we could turn off the rest of things by grouping them. So we're going to just use two fingers combined together. It actually combined it. So let's just leave it as is and see if we can turn them off. Just go and turn off the layers. Turn them back on. If we need to ever edit the file using the main file, we're going to actually move into the middle. So good play around with them. So let's see what we could do. We could try the filters. Let's do a halftone. Does, oh, this makes it look like a comic. That's pretty cool, pretty nice style. They could utilize this to make some other looks almost like pixellated look or like the comic look. Let's see what other filters doesn't undo these. See what chromatic does. It makes it look a little bit cooler. It almost has a little bit more depth with their aberration. I just can't do a little bit of it. Kinda like that. Has a little bit more vibrancy to it. And then another trick we could do is to try to make a pretty much a white outline for him. So it can be used for stickers. I permanently like to make stickers. So this could be a perfect example. We're going to duplicate that image. The morning I go close up one, we're actually going to go here. You charged for brightness pure white. And then we're going to use this and we're gonna go cause them blur. You want to get it just wide enough. Now let's see if this works. We're gonna do a select Automatic. Select it from the inside. I didn't see what. Let's expand it out. We're actually going to turn on the layer and see that looks a little too wide. So we're going to turn that off. Go back to this top layer turned on, but make sure you're selected on the bottom layer. And we're going to turn just color to white. Then we're going to select Pin variety, the bottom layer with the selection tool, automatic color fill. Selected just so it has enough of a distance. And that's a pretty good border. I think we could do it one better. We're going to delete this loop will keep this again, turn this off brightness. And the reason why it felt a little bit like not detailed. It's because I I think I blurred it a little too much that we're getting blurry, but not too much. So we have some detail to the left and let's see if that works. Attorney the acts, that selection tool. And then as you can see, it's closer to the pretty much the little details. You can see some of the details on the hair or less a perfect amount. That's our sticker. I'm going to show that the black background so you can see the contrast a little bit more. There you have it achieved, we dequeue drawing and the process on how to do it. The homework assignment, it's going to be selecting your own character and should be fighting it. I wanted you to get as far as the current process. You don't have to make a sticker design yet, but getting into this stage as being a perfect example. Thank you so much for watching. Maybe have any questions. Please feel free to comment down in the video description or in your assignment. I'll be sure to answer them to the following week. And I'll see you in the next one.
