About This Class

This course is excellent for artists that want to level up their game when it comes to sketching out concepts for resin artwork, whether that be for personal use, or client work. Streamline your process and easily make adjustments to your designs. Represent actual stone accents, glitters, details and colors in your concept, helping you and your clients envision the artwork you set out to create!

This class will touch on the features in Procreate you need to know to sketch out your concepts without getting bogged down with learning every tool available. Procreate has gone through some updated versions since the creation of this class, but the general work experience remains the same. To use procreate you will need an iPad running iOS 16.3 or later with Apple Pencil. It is possible to use Procreate with your finger but an Apple Pencil is highly recommended.

1. Introduction - How to Use Procreate to Plan Resin Artwork: Hey, there. My name is Katie Kroll and I'm the artist behind West End Resin. This class will teach you how to use the app Procreate to help design concepts for your resin paintings to share with your clients or just to give you a good reference point to start your next piece. Procreate is an app that is only compatible with IOS, so you will need an iPad. I also recommend using an Apple pencil with this app, but if you can't get your hands on one, you can also just draw with your finger. I started using Procreate from my resin concepts because I needed a better way to easily manipulate and make changes to my layout ideas. I know a lot of artists just sketch their concepts on paper and even use colored pencil or marker to add color. And that's great, but I like to be able to change things around easier, edit colors and change layouts without having to completely restart the entire concept. Procreate allows you to get your ideas out in a way that's easily adjustable if your client comes back and wants the colors edited, for instance, or if you're working on a larger piece and aren't sure what you want your next move to be, I like to take a picture of my artwork and import that into Procreate and then draw over the top of that so I can be competent in my next moves. Procreate also allows you to incorporate actual imagery of glitters, stones, and textures to really give your clients an accurate idea of how you plan to create with the material you plan on using. This app has so many features and capabilities, and I don't want to overwhelm anyone who isn't familiar with it, so I'm only going to be going over the tools and features I use most to help create my concepts. Alright, let's get started. 2. Familiarize Yourself With Procreate: All right. So when you first download Procreate, and you open it up, you're going to see your gallery page. So this is where your artworks are all going to live. You can have them individually listed, or you can stack them in groups like these are. This is kind of where I keep all of my resin stuff right now, but you can stack these more organized, like, within certain clients. Certain client work or certain projects, you can kind of group those together as well. I think Procreate comes with three artworks already in it so that you can open those up and just kind of see how they were created. But so within the gallery section, you have some options here. You're able to import, select certain things to delete. So if I were to select this one and I didn't want this anymore, you could just delete it. You could duplicate it if you wanted to make changes to an artwork but not lose the original. You can also share it by exporting it or previewing it this way. So I'm just going to X out so that I'm deselecting that again and go over this other button, which is the plus icon. This is going to let you create a canvas. So it comes with some popular sizes already. And this little button is going to allow you to create a specific size. And when I make my projects, I typically like to make them the same ratio that my artwork is going to be so if I'm creating a super large piece, that's like three feet by four feet. I'm not going to make that exact size here. I'm going to scale that down and just make sure that the proportions are the same. I typically will only need to print this on, like, an 8.5 by 11, so no bigger than that is typically typically what I work with. It doesn't need to be huge. I just needs to be big enough for you to see what you're doing and not get a super pixeli project. I just wanted to go over kind of the interface of the app before we get started drawing. So this is basically the interface. Once you go and create a project size, you're able to pinch to zoom or zoom out and kind of rotate your canvas however you want to. We've got some icons over here for preferences and kind of action type icons. And then these over here represent kind of your creative icons or kind of the wheelhouse behind creating a piece is kind of more so over here. Just to quickly give you an overview of what these are before we kind of dive into each one, we have the gallery on this side, which brings you back to your main gallery, and then just tapping back into your project. We have this wrench icon is your Actions menu. Then we have the adjustments menu, the selection tool, and the Transform tool. And then on this side, we've got a brush, a smudge, an eraser. This is your layers panel, and then this is where you select your color. Over here on this side, I have mindset to be over here, but you can change this to be over here if that's better for your left or right handedness. This is your brush size slider. This controls the size of your brush, and this controls the opacity. This over here is your quick actions menu that is programmable to be whatever kind of buttons you think you would use most. And then this is your undo and redo button. But also there are quick actions that will give you the same thing. If you tap once with two fingers, it will undo. And if you tap once with three fingers, it will redo. So that's typically what I use. When I'm creating it's just a little bit faster in my workflow. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and use the Brush tool just to get some things on the canvas that I can show you more about what these tools do. So if you tap the brush, you're met with the brush panel window, and this library has so many great brushes that are custom programmed into Procreate already. I have downloaded some other brush packs from artists, but you don't need anything else that Procreate gives you initially. And I typically only use a handful of brushes anyway when I'm creating this it's nothing fancy. So typically, the sketching area, I might use some sort of pencil to kind of lay out a sketch initially. I also like this inking brush the most. I just prefer one that doesn't have a lot of texture to it. That's pretty smooth, so that's kind of one of my favorites. But there's many choices. And then painting, I use this round brush quite a lot because it gives me some of the transparency effects that resin also kind of emulates at time, so I really like this brush to use. And then lastly, we have airbrushing. And I typically use one of these softer brushes that just has a really feathered edge and gives me a nice kind of soft color application. So we're going to just choose this inking brush and go over and pick a color. So in this color wheel, this is typically the one that I use the most. It's the disc wheel. And you can just kind of drag your cursor over the outer ring to get a color, and then the inside is where you choose the value of that color. So if you want it to be more black or more white, if you were to double tap near the edges, it's going to snap to that purest color that you're kind of hovering over. You can switch it up to be either a classic view and get more of these sliders. Harmony, which is kind of nice. If you want, you know, complimentary colors, it's going to show you the complimentary on the color wheel. There's also value, but I typically just stick with the disc one. And then down here, you have your color palettes. So this is where you would add colors if you want to make sure that you can easily go back to them. Like if you're creating a piece that you know, you want specific colors in, you can kind of save them down here so that you're not having to go back in and kind of refigure out what color you had. So you can simply tap an empty square here, and it will add what color whatever color you've selected will be added down here. You can also override these if you don't want them anymore. Okay, so we're going to just start drawing some stuff in here so that I can show you kind of what these tools do. So in the layers palette, here's where you can kind of see where all of the things that you're drawing are ending up. So right now, we have everything created on one layer. It's layer one. And if we were to make a new layer, all we have to do is select this plus icon, and that creates a new layer on top, and we can then draw on that layer. And now we can see that whatever layer is on top is going to be on top of all of the artwork. So that's how it works. It kind of stacks and order. Whatever is on top is most visible. And if we wanted to rearrange these layers, all we have to do is press and hold and drag that underneath. And now this layer is underneath the kind of red squares, and that's how that kind of layer order works. Let's create some more layers here with other colors. We can kind of see some more effects here. I'm going to use a different brush. You can really see the transparency of this one, which is one of my favorite brushes to use. Okay, and let's do one more layer. Let's do a different color. And then let's just show you this other brush with the soft edges. And this one is just really feathered edge. Just like that. And then, again, here is where you control the size of your brush and then the opacity. Okay, so back to this layers palette. So now we can see we have artwork on all of these layers, and we're able to rearrange them like I demonstrated. And you'll notice these checkbox over here, these indicate whether the layer is visible or not. So if you uncheck them, you're basically hiding the layer without deleting it. And then this letter right here symbolizes the blending mode that the layer is in. So if you see the N, that symbolizes normal. And you can go in here and kind of experiment with all the different blending modes that there are. There's quite a few. Typically, don't use these too much for resin concepts, but they're there if you want to experiment. And then this slider up here is just the opacity, which lets you control that if you wanted to. Tap to close. And then on the left side, we can also tap this thumbnail of the layer and get some more options. So here we're able to do quite a bit more. Usually, what I'll do a lot is utilizing Alpha lock, which basically, if you notice, there's now a checkered pattern behind this layer artwork, and that basically means that it's transparent. So whatever I was to draw on this layer now would only show up within the boundaries of whatever artwork is already on there. So just to demonstrate that, I'm going to bring this brush size a little bit. So now if I paint on this layer, you're noticing it's only showing up within this red square outline. If I were to turn that off, now it's just a regular layer, and if I paint on it, it's gonna show up outside of that area as well. Another feature is the mask option, which allows you to make changes to this artwork without committing to them. So you're not destroying the artwork. You're just hiding it basically. White symbolizes revealing the artwork, and black symbolizes hiding the artwork. So if I were to paint over this with black, it's basically erasing it, but it's not actually erasing it. It's just doing that within this masked layer. So if you were to turn that off, we can see that the artwork is still actually there. Ever wanted to delete a layer or an effect on a layer, all you have to do is swipe left and you can delete that. Other options, let's go over to clipping mask. Clipping mask is one that I use probably most often. And this basically clips whatever this artwork is, I will clip it to whatever is below it. So you can see it's only clipping to this yellow blob here and a very small portion of it. And you can see that it's denoted by this little arrow that's sort of telling you that it's clipping to the bottom layer, and it's always going to clip to whatever is directly below it. And you can still move this around if you wanted to, and now it basically undoes that clipping mask because you've moved it. So if you wanted to reapply that, we'd have to go back in and select clipping mask, and now you can see that it's clipping to this green area. I use this a lot when I'm adding, like, textures or glitters or special stones, and I want them to only show up in a certain area that I've drawn, I'll use typically a clipping mask to do that. You can also create multiple layers within that clipping mask. Everything that you create underneath this sort of arrowed layer will be included in the mask. And again, you can move layers around just by pressing and holding. And then if you wanted to delete anything, just swiping left gives you that option. You can also duplicate that layer. If you've maybe imported a picture of crystals and you don't want to have to keep importing the same photo. You can just duplicate that layer simply, and then that's kind of an easier way to do that. If you wanted to let's get rid of this. Select multiple layers. You can just swipe right, and that will select multiple layers, and you can then delete all of them or group them. Grouping them is basically putting them into a folder. It helps to kind of organize your layers if you get kind of out of control with a bunch of bunch of layers. It helps to just organize them that way. Um, what else do I want to show you? That's basically all the effects that I tend to use there. Let's move on to these other icons. So obviously, we have the brush over here, and then this is the eraser. Eraser also has all of the same brushes that the brush library has. And if you want to erase with the same brush that you were using to paint with, all you have to do is press and hold, and then it will erase with whatever current brush that you have. But remember, it's only going to erase the layer that you're selecting. So I was trying to erase for a second that yellow blob, but that's not gonna happen because I'm selecting this blue layer, so I can only erase this blue layer. Smudge tool is basically smudging the colors within that layer. I like to also smudge with the same brush that I typically paint with, but smudging is pretty let's see. I'm going to do this green layer. Smudging is basically like just smudging. It's moving the color around that's on that layer. I like to use this one because it does help to kind of emulate how resin colors mix together along the edges sometimes. So I might use this for effect. Or if I want to simulate sort of like a dirty pore, I might use the smudge to kind of blend the colors together and make it look like it's a dirty poor. Alright, so let's move on to oh, I forgot to show you a couple of things. So if you wanted to merge group merge layers together, all you have to do is pinch them. So whatever you're pinching will merge together. So if I wanted these all three to be merged, all I have to do is pinch to merge them. And then if I wanted to undo that, remember, two taps or a tap with two fingers undoes. So now we can see the layers are back. A tap with three fingers redoes, but I have to unselect that. So now it redid that because I had three taps. It's kind of hard to see with that. So let me just do quickly some marks here, and then we can do two taps to undo and three taps to redo. So that's really kind of a handy thing to kind of remember so that you don't have to keep reaching back for these buttons to undo and redo. Okay, and then one more thing I forgot to say. So in this color wheel, instead of color picking here, once you get drawing, you can also select any color that you've already painted by just pressing and holding with your finger. And that will allow you to drag your finger across and pick up any color that you see here, which is really handy. I do this a lot when I'm working. It's just a quicker workflow for me if I don't have to keep going into here to grab colors. I can just simply Whoops, hold it. See, I didn't want to erase, so I can double tap to undo that. And then my pencil is set up to double tap to switch between brush and eraser, which sometimes I do that accidentally, and it can be kind of annoying, but the preference can be changed in your preferences window, as well. Okay, so let's move on here to these other actions over here. So we already went through the gallery, and this wrench icon is your actions menu. Within here, you're able to do quite a lot of changes to the app itself and also some other actions. So in the preferences area is where you can change the interface color and right handed or left handedness and some other aspects. Video shows you your time lapse replay, which can be kind of handy for social media purposes. Um, you can also turn this off if you want to conserve space on your iPad. The sharing lets you export your creation. Canvas is for resizing and cropping your canvas and making other small adjustments. And then the add button lets you insert a photo is usually what I use the most. I like to insert pictures of like I mentioned glass, glitter, crystals, gems, quartz, actual things into here to help give it a more realistic look. And so we can insert a photo of, say, this gold glitter, and we'll bring that to the top. And I'll usually try to erase kind of the parts that I don't need. So the hand and the kind of outskirts. So I just want the glitter. It doesn't have to be perfect. And then maybe I want to clip this to this area right here. I'm going to move that down because I want to clip onto this area, and we'll do clipping mask. And now we can move it with the selection tool and have that be right over the top of this. So it's also partly over here because in this layer, artwork is also it's including the green in that layer. So just to give you an idea of what the insert photo does and the clipping mask, that's typically how I use that, but we'll get into that more when I create the concept. Okay, also over here, I think we did all of this. Okay, so next is the adjustments menu. Typically, I just use the hue saturation, maybe some color balance, just to kind of edit whatever layer might be in there. If the color isn't quite right, or maybe the brightness isn't right. I just want to make some small adjustments or maybe if I've taken a photo of my artwork and the lighting wasn't quite right, so I'll need to kind of adjust that in post in the app. And then next to this one is the little S icon, which is the selection tool. This one I don't use a whole lot, but it is handy to sort of cut out crystals or cut out areas to move around. So let's just demonstrate that with this orange layer. And we will notice at the bottom, we have a couple selections. We can do an automatic selection, free hand rectangle or ellipse or circle. Typically, I'll just use free hand and you're able to kind of draw freely with your pencil or you can lift up and just tap to get straight lines. And then when you're done with your shape, all you have to do is tap this circle to close it. Now you'll hopefully be able to notice maybe not too well on camera, but there are faint diagonal lines kind of along the entire canvas, except for where we made our selection. That's just symbolizing that nothing is selected except this area. So then what we can do is we can color fill that area by tapping this icon down here, and it's going to color fill with whatever color we have selected. If we undo that, we can also invert that, which means if we invert it, now we're going to be selecting instead of this shape, we're going to be selecting everything except this shape. And then copy and paste is usually one that I use quite a bit for inserting photos of, like, crystals and things if I wanted to copy a certain area of it and just duplicate it and put it everywhere. I'll copy and paste. And then what that does is it copies that selection from that layer that we were on without ruining the original layer. So that's kind of handy if you like I said, didn't want to ruin that layer. It just helps you to kind of duplicate things pretty easily. And then this area that I've kind of glossed over a little bit is just the transform tool. And what that does is it allows you to move around layers or selections on your canvas. So you can see the bounding box here has blue circles on the points. And since we have uniform selected, it's going to scale, if I grab one of these points it's going to scale it up and down uniformly, so proportionally. If we were to choose distort, it will only distort and kind of skew it not proportionally. And then warp also has you'll see these lines kind of inside of it. Basically, you're kind of mushing it around with the warp tool. And then free form is basically whatever you want. I usually keep it on uniform, but if I needed to make adjustments, I'll also do distort or free form. And then also down here, there are more selections. You can flip it horizontally or vertically, rotate it a certain degree. So there's many options here, but typically, I'm only using this just to move stuff around in my canvas or to kind of scale up crystal formations or something. Okay, double we'll tap that again to release the bounding box. And, um, let's see. What else do I need to go over? I think that's about it. For the tools, we might have to dive in a little bit deeper once we start drawing, and I can kind of show you a little bit more of the techniques that I use. So let's make a concept and let's get started with that. 3. Find Inspiration and Create Resin Concept: So we're just going to jump right into it. So I'm going to select a color, a dark color, and I'm going to start in with my inking brush, the syrup brush. And I'm going to start in just drawing my crystal formation. So that's typically where I start. It just helps to kind of anchor the piece and just help me build off of that with my colors. So I'm going to start drawing in sort of just a generalized organic crystal shape. And maybe I want this to be cut out in the middle. And we're going to go ahead and fill this shape. So instead of painstakingly kind of coloring it in which you can do, I like to just drag and drop color to fill that area. So I'm going to grab this color wheel gon and just drag that into the space that I want it to fill. And if you have a shape that hasn't been properly closed up, like say, it looks like this where it's just barely not closed, this color wheel is going to fill the whole canvas. So double tap tap once with two fingers to undo that. I'm going to make sure that the shape is closed before I fill it. So that's kind of how that works. Okay, so now we want to add some crystals to this shape that we've created. A lot of people think that maybe I used some certain brush that was like a crystal brush or something, but that's not the case. What I do is I import a photo of crystals and then use clipping masks to clip it to this area. So I basically have a Pintresbard that's full of different images that I've kind of collected that I would use for Procreate. So I have, like, you know, different crystal points, different crushed glass, glitters, just anything that you want to kind of collect and then save to your iPad to import later. So I'm going to go over here to my wrench icon and insert a photo. And from here, I'm just going to choose one of my crystals. And then I like to erase the borders just with this soft blended airbrushing brush just to erase any of that white edge that's in the crystal photo. Okay, and then I'm going to grab my arrow tool and just move that over to cover some of this area. And you can scale up or down, you know, with that arrow tool selected or rotate it however you want to. But I think that's kind of a good size, and then go back up to my layers pallet menu and kind of swipe left to duplicate that. And then I'm just going to keep selecting with my arrow and moving around and duplicating, and I'm just going to keep doing this until I can fill up this whole area with crystals. And as I'm working, I find it handy to just kind of merge as I'm going because I know I want these crystals to all be together and they don't have to be separated out, so I'm just going to pinch to merge those. And we're going to select clipping mask to get them into this shape, and we're just going to keep duplicating until I can fill up this entire shape with crystals. Okay, so now we're going to just merge all of these together. And I'm going to insert another photo of these crystals. And I like to do this to add just more dimension. Maybe if you had, like, amethyst or smoky quartz or like a specialty crystal that you just wanted to plop in there. These are just regular quarts. I'm going to select my selection tool and make sure free hand is selected, and I'm just going to tap to get straight edge points for my selection, and then tap this little circle to close. And now we can see that it's only selecting this crystal. I like to just hit copy and paste. And that brings that selection to its own layer without disturbing the original image. So I'm going to go back to that original image, grab the selection tool again, and I'm just going to keep grabbing a couple more of these crystals. Alright, three is probably good. I'm gonna delete the original photo, and then now we can with the arrow tool, select these, scale them down and rotate them and just kind of put them wherever I kind of want them to be. Maybe I've got some really big statement crystals that I want to put in there, or maybe they're smaller. It's really up to you and what you plan on using in your piece. But just for kind of effect, I'll just show you a couple placed in there. Okay, so I've got a crystals in there. Now I want to get started on the coloring. So I'm going to create a new layer with a plus icon again, and I'm going to drag it underneath my crystals and all of that. And we're gonna grab our color wheel and select a color. I think I'm going to go with sort of this dark teal bluish color. Grab my brush. I'm going to use my favorite round brush. Make sure the size is good. And I like this brush because it has some opacity characteristics that I think really emulate how resin actually behaves as far as, like, when it mixes with other colors that are kind of next to it, but, you know, experiment with the brushes and procreate and just find the ones that you like to use. And this doesn't have to be perfect, because I usually go in with the smudge tool, which I'll demonstrate a little bit here as well to kind of fix these edges. Let's go in here, too. And maybe up here. Alright, so I'm going to choose a new blue. I'm going to choose a brighter blue. And you could go in and do all of your colors on a new layer, and that will just give you more opportunity to edit things in the future. If your client comes back and they're like, Oh, I don't like that blue. Could you change it? You could go into that layer the layer of where that color is and either alfock it and then physically paint over it that way, or you could undo that. You could go over here to your adjustments layer and select the hue saturation brightness and just sort of change the hue and saturation brightness that way. But for the demonstration purposes, I'm just going to keep my blues on the same layer. So I'm going to start painting with this one. And I really like to follow the same kind of flow that my crystals have where possible. Okay. So now I want to show you a little bit about what the smudge tool can do. So we're gonna select the smudge tool, and I just have it on the same brush that I painted with. And we're gonna just smudge the edges. I just think that this really kind of emulates what resin kind of looks like when it kind of blends together with the colors next to it. And how this smudge tool works is whatever you put your brush down on is where it's going to smudge from. So if I put it in the blue and I drag out, it's going to bring the blue and smudge it that way. Same with this eye with the white. If I bring it from the white in, it's going to smudge the white. So that's kind of how that smudge tool works. And I just like to kind of finagle it, push and pull that color around, and just get it to where I like it. Let's see. Okay, that looks pretty good. I think I'm going to add some, like, dirty poor area. So I'm going to make a new layer for that, and we're going to select sort of this creamy color with a harder brush. And I'm just gonna I'm not going to be too precious with where I put this color because we're going to use this smudge tool to smudge it together and make it look kind of like a dirty pore. Alright, that's kind of enough for me. Now I want to add some glitter accents. So I'm going to go in and add a new layer on top of my crystals and things. So at the very top, we're just going to make it black and same brush. And I'm just going to do some outlining with intentions of adding glitter there. And this doesn't have to be perfect either. I kind of like it to look a little bit more kind of natural and imperfect. Not that glitter is natural for geodes, but you know what I mean? Just kind of thinking about how I would actually put glitter on this if I was making it in real life. Just kind of adding the glitter up into the stones a little bit. And you could do instead of glitter, you could just do gold by inserting a photo of, like, a gold metallic. That would also work if you didn't want to do glitter, or you could do both up to you. Okay. And then I'm going to make my brush a little bit smaller. And I'm going to also add some glitter line details just to kind of keep all the glitter kind of on the same layer. Okay. So now we're going to add the glitter the same way that we added the crystals. So I'm gonna insert a photo and choose my glitter. And then I'll scale this down a little bit. So I want my glitter flakes to be pretty small. And then we're just going to start filling up the canvas like we did before and, you know, merging as we go just to keep it a little bit more organized and quicker to fill it up. So I'm going to merge these, and then we'll make sure to add this to a clipping mask, and we'll just keep going. Okay, that's pretty much good. We're going to merge those. Alright. So now, I think I'm going to add a little bit more blue accenting over here. And so you don't have to keep going back into your color picker if you don't want to. If you just tap on your screen and hold, you'll notice that your color wheel pops up and you're able to select any color that you've already got painted on your canvas. So that's kind of handy oops. That's the wrong brush. Just little shortcuts really add to speeding up your process workflow. Then we'll smudge this guy out. Okay. All right. Let's create a new layer, and let's make some white detail lines. So now, I like to kind of pinch and rotate my canvas to kind of get it in the best angle for me to draw these lines. And this is, you know, completely up to you and how you like your pieces to look. I'm just showing you how I add certain details. And I like to try to keep my finer details to a minimum, just because I don't like to commit to that right away, and I don't want the client to kind of get their hopes up, like, thinking it's gonna look exactly like this when my details are kind of done in a way that's I don't know. I like to see where the piece is at and just kind of add them where I think they need to go. So sometimes that changes based on how the piece kind of evolves. And maybe you've got different colored markers that you want to use. Okay. So now, sometimes I feel like, actually, let's a one more little line just write here. Okay. Alrighty. So sometimes I feel like the piece is sort of maybe too bare in some spots, and you can definitely just go in and just keep adjusting and just, you know, keep drawing things and seeing maybe I want some more crystals over here, or maybe I want this to be like a German glass glitter. I love adding German glass glitter to my works. So you can just kind of, you know, add that in as you're going and just see what needs to be filled. And we can import maybe some more crystals. So that's pretty much how I use it to create concepts. And then from here, I'll go ahead and start my piece. And then after I pour the first layer, I mean, depending how big it is, or if I just have more, you know, uncertainties about how I want to proceed, I will take a picture of my piece where it stands and bring that into Procreate and just draw over the top of that image. So to show you some examples of that, here's a piece that I took a picture of and imported it into Procreate, just to see kind of what different details might look like if I should add more resin. And so I drew out quite a few things, but settled on something like this. You can see I've added in some more transparency, translucent white resin. I've added in some more gold accenting and more glitter and stones. And that really gave me the confidence to move forward with this piece. And this is kind of what that final piece ended up looking like. So I was able to move forward confidently and kind of finish this piece up. Another piece that I kind of did that for was this one. So I took a picture of this piece, and it doesn't have to be a fancy picture. This is kind of a poor picture, actually, but very messy at this stage. And what I did was just, you know, draw over the top of it. I added some more layers of translucent resin, more stones, and this might look messy to you, but for me, it makes perfect sense, and that's all that really matters is if it makes sense to you and helps clear your mind and give you a clear path forward, then it's doing its job. So this isn't really meant to be shown to the client. In my opinion, I would just rather keep this as part of my creative process and my brain dump kind of thing, and I don't really want to invite third party discussion with moving forward for pieces like this. So it was for me. And this is kind of how this piece turned out. So you can kind of see the progression of the drawing and the actual piece, just an invaluable tool, in my opinion, it really gives you the confidence to move forward. Um, and just know exactly what you want to do and not be second guessing, Oh, I wonder if I should put this here or this there. Try it out and procreate first. Draw over your pieces, see if it'll look good. Another example of duplicating. So this was a concept that I created for a client, and she didn't really vibe on this darker blue, and she wanted more of, like, an ocean type blue, and she wanted some white with, like, a sandy representation. So I duplicated this project and just altered it and basically was able to come up with this, which added some more stones. I changed the blues around a little bit, made it a little bit more brighter. And this ended up being that final piece. So that about wraps up the class. I hope that this was beneficial to you. I hope that you're able to take what you've learned and kind of streamline your process with Procreate and create concepts for your clients that give you the confidence to move forward and the ability to change things quickly and efficiently. So I hope you enjoyed the class, guys. Thanks. Bye.
