1. Introduction & What You’ll Learn : Hi everyone, my name is Vinita I'm an illustrator and a pattern designer based in Singapore. And in this class, I'm going to show you how I illustrate fruits in procreate. I will start by showing you how I use reference image for my sketching process. Also, I have an example sketch of Pears from start to finish to show you how I go about my sketching process, we will be illustrating six fruits in procreate. In this class, I have attached three sketches in the resource section of this class. So you can download these files and follow along I will be showing you my brushes and Canvas and step-by-step process in procreate each fruit. Even if you're a beginner, you can follow along and I'm going to explain you each step. I have a bonus video to show you how I turn these fruits into a seamless pattern which you can upload on print on demand sites. Also, I have a fun Vedic to show you how these fruits look as stickers. By the end of this class, you will have a lot of tips and tricks on how to draw any fruit of your choice.
2. Reference & Sketching Process: Let's start with our very first step, that reference and sketch. I'll take you through all my source of reference. The first one is Unsplash. I have installed the app on my iPad. This is the most safest and the easiest with a good-quality image. These are all royalty-free images. That means you can use it in any form for sketching reference, or in your project or on your website. Now my second app is Pinterest This is also one of my favorite because you can get plenty of inspiration on illustration or color inspiration. You can find a lot of styles of illustration in here. But yes, this is not royalty free, so you have to be careful when you try to use it as a reference. And one of my most helpful reference that I get are from the library books or some botanical books that I find in the market But again, this is not royalty free and you can only use this as a reference. Like, I love to see the composition like how the leaves and the shape of the fruit are placed Let's move on to the steps I used for sketching. The first step is to sketch, I planned my composition and use my reference images to sketch my fruits. In my next lesson, I am sketching a Pear from scratch and show you how I plan to sketch any fruit. Next is I take a picture from my iPad, imported as a private image in Procreate. Adjust it to my canvas. I'll add a new layer on the top. Reduced opacity of my sketch. And I'll go to my brushes. Under sketching, I'll take my 6B pencil brush and start tracing on the sketch. And if you're comfortable sketching your initial sketch on the iPad directly, you can always skip this step. Once I'm done with my tracing, I'll hide my sketch image. And I'm done with my sketching process.
3. Sketching Pears: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how I planned and sketch any fruit. Now my first step is to make a collage of the images that I want to use as a reference. All these images are from Unsplash. I collect these pictures because like for example, in this image you can see the stem, the, how it is connecting to each other, and how it is attached to the fruit. I can see the shape clearly. Also, I can use these leaves for reference. For example, the falling of the leaves and the shape. This image I took because I like how it is attaching. I can see the attachment and the shape of the leaves here. It's, it's nice and clear. Now this image is for the shape of the Pear. I want my shape of the Pear to be a little roundish like this in the image. And I'll start sketching my Pear I will start with the stem. Like in the image. I'll make a vertical stem. I think reference image helps you and gives you a real good idea about the shape and the details. If you are comfortable sketching your initial sketch on your iPad directly, that's also perfectly fine. You can follow these steps and start sketching on your iPad. I'm almost done with the stem. I'll start adding leaves to these stems. I'm gonna follow this image and add these two leaves at the end. You can also skip these details on the sketchbook. And while you're tracing it on the iPad, you can add the details. I'm using a 300 GSM watercolor paper. Because later, if I want to color this in watercolor or watercolor pencils, it should be on a thick paper Adding more leaves with the reference of the second image. The trick of this type of planning and sketching is in the end you have your favorite shape and your favorite element all in one sketch. Let's move on to drawing some pears I'll move on to my third image. Reference image for the shape I need for the pears. I think the stems is too long I'll make it shorter. I feel while drawing any fruit, if the lines and the shape of the fruit is irregular and not perfect, it looks more natural. This also depends on your illustration style. But if you're aiming for a botanical looking illustration, it doesn't have to be perfect. Moving to the second pair, I'm trying to achieve roundish and bumpy shape for the Pears Adding one more leaf. I'm just taking the reference image and adding another leaf. And I'm done with the sketch of the Pears
4. Resource & Project: You can find your resource under Project and the resource section of this class, you can select project and resource. And you can see three attachment on the right side of this page, When you tap on one of the attachment, it will open in a new tab, tap on download. And it will start downloading. Once it is done, Tap on, open in Procreate. This will directly open the attachment in the procreate app. You can use these sketches to follow along with me in the class and also submit the same in the project section. For the project, you can also illustrate any fruit of your choice and submit in the project section of this class. I cannot wait to see your artworks. Feel free to ask any question or doubt in the discussion section.
5. Canvas & Brush Setup: Let's talk about Canvas and brushes im going to use in this class. I already have my stack ready with all my fruit sketches. Each canvas has one fruit, will be doing six fruits in this class. It's Peach, Papaya, Pomegranate, Mango, Cherries, and Guava. The dimension of these Canvas, are 4 thousand by 4 thousand pixel and 300 dpi, which gives you 37 layers. Let's move to the brushes. I'll tap on the brush library and make a new folder for the fruits. Tap on the plus sign, and I will rename this as fruits. I'm going to drop the brushes I'm going to use in this class in this folder. My first brush is under Artistic It says Sassafras I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly. I'll duplicate this brush and I'm gonna drop it into the fruit folder. My second brush is under calligraphy. That's Monoline I'll duplicate this brush and I'm gonna drop it into our fruit folder. We are going to use these two brushes for the most part of this class. The first brush gives a very crayon pastel kind of finish. It is very soft and it smudges very well, like if I put dark and a light color and smudge it with the same brush, it gives a nice soft finish. Now again, choosing a brush also depends on the style of your illustration. If you're not very happy with this brush finish, you can go through the default brushes under the procreate library. There are plenty of them and you can try and find your own style brushes. Now the second brush is Monoline, This is basically going to be the base layer of all our fruits. As this is an opaque brush and it also gives a nice crisp finish on the sides Let's move on to our first fruit.
6. Illustrating: Peaches: Let's start with our first fruit, that's Peaches. I'm going to start with the sketch time-lapse of this illustration. Just for your reference, I have this sketch in the resource section of this glass for you to download. You can download and follow along. Now my first step is to import my reference image. I’ll go to action, canvas and reference. I will pull this to the side of the canvas. Now tap on image, import image and import your reference image. Next I'll go to layers. I have this one layer with the sketch on it. I'll add a new layer, and pull this layer below the peach layer, the sketch layer, under brushed library I'm gonna select my Monoline brush and pick up a mid tone from the image, A tone which is not too dark or too light And I'll start drawing my first peach Fill this with the same color. Add a new layer, tap on the layer and tap on clipping mask. Next, I'm going to select my first brush. Select a darker color from the reference image. And I will start adding stroke to this peach Now while you're adding the stroke, you have to follow the shape of the fruit. I'm going to keep adding colors from the image and smudging it with the same brush. While I'm smudging the opacity of the brushes around 70%. I'm going to follow this process for all the peaches. Even after smudging, if you feel you're not happy with the colors, you can keep adding more colors and smudging it. While smudging do follow the shape of the fruit. Let's move on to the second peach. Now, I'm going to take the second peach on a new layer So we'll add a new layer. Select Monoline And I will start with the second peach. Select a different color and tone for every peach. That will give your illustration an interesting look, add a new layer, tab on the layer and tap on clipping mask, and select the first brush. I'm starting with the lighter yellowish color. For this shape of the peach, you have to understand the shadow and the light part I'm going to keep the center line on the darker side. And the curvier part on the lighter side. Now selecting a darker color. If you're not happy with the color you select from the image. You can go to your pallet and, and change the tone to a little darker or lighter, or if you want to add more, red into that color Now adding darker color for the area which will be under shadow. Selecting the smudge tool with the same brush, follow the shape of the fruit while you're smudging. Its little difficult to smudge the shades which are too dark or too light with each other. So you have to make sure you have the tones which are closer to each other. For smudging you have to practice a few times to understand how this whole Smudging works with this brush. While I am smudging, I'm also trying to achieve the shape of the fruit. Let's move on to our third Peach I'm going to add a new layer, select a tone, from our last peach. Select Monoline And I'm gonna draw. And the third peach. And a new layer, tap on the layer and tap on clipping mask. Select our first brush, and I will start adding colors. I'm starting with the lighter color on one side, and I will be adding darker color on the other side. For this, I am not referring to any reference image, but you can always import an image to follow. Smudging with the same brush and following the shape of the fruit. While smudging, I'm trying to push the color and achieve the shape in the center. This will create the depth that peach usually has in the center. You can keep adding more colors and smuggling them on the same layer. Let's move on to the leaves. For the leaves, I'm going to add a new layer.

I'm trying to keep the sides on the darker shade and the center area on the light decide. This will give around a shape to the fruits Once you're done, adding, the gallows will start smudging with the same brush. Even while you are smudging, try to follow the shape of the fruit. Opacity of my brush is around 70% when I'm smudging. Let's move on to the second guava. I'm going to add a new layer. Select Monoline brush, select a colour from the reference image, and I'll start drawing. The second guava Will this new layer below the first guava layer. You can give both the guava with a different shade of green. That gives the illustration more depth and interesting look at clipping mask to this layer. Add a new layer, tap on layer and tap clipping mask Select our first brush. Select a colour from the reference image, and then start adding on the guava. I'm trying to follow the reference image. Like for example, the area which I feel should be under shadow, I'm keeping it dark. And the area where the light is falling, I'm trying to keep a few layers of greens, lighter shade of greens. Once I'm done adding the colors, I'm gonna smudge it with the same brush. Next, I’ll add a new layer to add detail at the end of this fruit. Selecting a dark brown color from the reference image and selecting the monoline brush. Let's move on to the stem. For the stem again, I'm going to add a new layer, Pull this layer below. Select Monoline brush, select a light brown color from the reference image. And I'll start drawing the stem. Add clipping mask to this layer and a new layer dab on the Leah and tap clipping mask. Select offers brush. Select a lighter brown color from the reference image and start adding on the stamp, smudging it with the same brush. Selecting a darker brown color for the edges and corners. Let's move on to the leaves. I'm going to add a new layer on the top. Select more Nolan brush, select. And then start drawing on the leaves. Adding a new father leave at the back. Also selecting a darker shade of green for this leaf. Add clipping mask to both the leaf layers. Select our first brush and start adding details on these leaves. You can also pull up a reference image. To add these details. Next, merging it with the same brush. Next to add viens on these leaves, I'm going to add a new layer for both the leaf layers and add clipping mask to them. And I'm gonna select my technical pen under inking, say select a lighter color. And I'm gonna start adding weights to these leaves. Next before moving on to the next part of the guava, I'm going to group all the layers off the first guava Let's start with a guava slice. I'm going to start by adding a new layer, pulling it below the sketch. Leah, selecting monoline, selecting a green color from our previous guava. And I'm gonna start join under slice. Add a new layer for the inner area of the guava. Select a color from the reference image, and I'll start drawing Add clipping master this layer. Select aka elephant, the reference image. Select offers trash. And I'll start adding details on this slice. Next to add seeds, I'm gonna use my technical Ben from inking section. Select a yellowish color from the reference image and now start adding seeds on this slice. Next adding clipping mask to the green part of the slice. To add details. I'm gonna select my first crash and follow the same steps. I just feel the red part of the slice feels a little dull So I'm gonna select the detail layer of this slice, go to adjustment curves and layers Now I'm gonna adjust the first option until I feel it's bright and nice. I'm gonna do the same with the seed layer because I can't see them too early. Next, moving on to the second part of to slice. And we're gonna add a new layer. And pull the new layer below the first slice layer And I'm gonna follow the same steps we did for the first slice. And we are done with our sixth fruit, that's guava. Now let's turn these fruits into a seamless Pattern
12. Seamless Fruit Pattern: Let's turn all of these foods into a seamless pattern. My first step is to duplicate the stack. So we have our original saved. I'll rename my full stack as fruit working. So we know which one we are working on. Tap on the stack. Now, I'm going to merge all the layers of each fruit. So we have each fruit on one layer. If you merge all the layers directly that doesn't work. We have to first merge the clipping mask of each part Once you're done merging clipping mask of each part, you can then merge all the layers together. Now we have the whole fruit on just one layer Next I'm going to repeat this for all the fruits. Next I'm going to create a new canvas, which is a little bigger than our fruit canvas. Our fruit canvas is 4 thousand by 4 thousand. But now and create a canvas which is five thousand, five hundred thousand pixel. And I'm going to pick up all the fruits and drop into this canvas. Once you're done dropping all the fruits into this canvas, I'm going to start splitting and arranging them. Once you are ready with your repeat block, create a new canvas much bigger than this, which is 8 thousand by 8 thousand pixel. That gives you six layers. Create this canvas. Go back to the gallery. Tap on your repeat block. Drop this repeat block into the bigger canvas. Make sure you're snapping and magnetic is on and you start blocking them. Next, you can change the background and see what looks better with the fruit. And if you upload this onto soceity6, it looks like this on the products.
13. Fruit Stickers: Let's see how these fruits looks when turned into stickers Now my first step for the stickers was to get all the fruits onto A4 size sheet, hide the background, and create outline with the soft Airbrush. I made a few of them on a transparent material like this guava. If I stick this onto a white base, it looks like this. And few on a white opaque base. For that you have to stick it on a darker base. And that's how these fruits illustrations look as the stickers.
