Illustrative Oil Painting Effect in Procreate + Free Brushes

1. Introduction: Welcome to illustrate if oil painting in procreate. Now, when we think about illustrating, most people right away think about watercolor, perhaps ink, some pastel colored pencils. But old painting you can also use to create beautiful illustrations. And that is what this class is about. We're gonna create an illustration together. We're going to create a winter scene in a forest, some snow falling down. Just a nice scene to create together. But we're not going to create ultra realistic scene. No, we're gonna create illustration where you can clearly recognize everything. But you just could put this illustration right into a children's book or magazine or whatever you want to put it in that way. In this class, we want to do two challenges. The first one is create an illustration that is lifelike, not realistic, but also not like the cute cuddly figures. It'll keep it somewhat realistic. So that's the first challenge. The second challenge we want to do is use the bare essentials of procreate to create this illustration. Not confuse with the tricks, lights, tricks, special brushes. We're going to keep it all to a minimum. Just use some brushes and our supplies. I have a sketch ready. What you can also use your own sketch if you wanted to. And there's a color palette. That's it. We're gonna just simulate old painting together as if we were all painting. What we're doing it on digital or five on her iPad in Procreate to challenges, create a semi realistic illustration and mimicking or painting in procreate. Alright, well, I don't know what's USA more. I think I'm gonna stop him fingers just to dive into the next lesson, we're gonna have some fun illustrating together with oil paint in Procreate. 2. Using the Supplies: Before we start the lessons, let me walk you through the resources that I've attached to this lesson. And to find them, you go to Skillshare and do it in your Safari browser. That's the best on your iPad. And find this class, of course, illustrative oil painting and tap on the project and resources on the video, scroll a little bit down and you see resources five of them as a brush, as a swatch. That's the sketch. There's a photo of a deer and there's the finished projects. Now if you know how to get this into Procreate, I would say just skip this lesson and continue with the first lesson. If you want to sketch yourself though, then here's a photo of the dip. There also is the finished painting for a reference, when you're painting yourself. To get the brushes in Procreate, you just tap on the ABB or brush set. Now you get a new window. It asks you to download. Download it. Wait for a little while, he see little arrow. It's just made an animation press on the arrow. And there you will see the brush set. And what you're gonna do is tap on it, then it brings you to your iPad files. And what you can do best IS tip on tap on that little square up there so that you get all these things here and you see files recent press on it. There's the brush set and what you do here is click on it. It is automatically import it to Procreate. And if you go to your brushes, the top one now should be an ABB oil set and I got a couple of them, but that should be on the top. That's for the brushes. Let me go back to Safari. Safari, there it is. And let's do the same with the swatches. What you're gonna do, tap on it. And it brings you to New down to new window. It says, do you want to download? Yes, I do want to download. You wait for the animation to stop. Press on it. You see here went to illustration oil. And then the swatches just click on it. It takes you again to your files, click on recent, and there you have the winter illustration. Swatches. You press on it, it imports it automatically. To find this, you press on the column, go to your palate. So if you're in the disk, go to the palace and go all the way down. Depending on how many you have. And there you see these swatches and what you can do is tap on the three arrows set as default. And now you're set and ready to paint. All right, Let's get the reference into Procreate. Again, we'll go back to the Skillshare page, illustration, oil dot Procreate. You click on that one. It asks you if you want to download. Yes, you do want to download. You wait for the animation to be ready. And now we see it here. Just tap on it. It's importing it. Go to your gallery. And now the first one should be this new drawing, just my sketch. Alright. Let's go to the, if you want to download, let's say these two would be going the same. So I'm doing the reference for you. You tap on the reference. It asked you to download a few. Now I choose few. You could download it, but I will just choose to choose few. Then you get too few it what you can do now, you just take your finger, you press on it. There's little menu and it says add to photos. And now it should be in your gallery. And if you go to your gallery, the newest picture should be this their picture. Alright, that's it. That's how to get resources into procreate. If you need that there, that exactly goes the same. You just press on it. It asks you if you want to download a few, I prefer to feud. And there's the photo of the deer and you do exactly the same press on it and say add to photos and your set. All right, that's it. Now you've got all the resources in procreate, and you can move to the first lesson. We're gonna start painting together. 3. Creating the Underpainting: Since I've made the sketch already for this painting, we can dive in it right away. Now if you want to make the sketch yourself, of course you can do so. That's why I included the reference of the dip and I'll show you how to get that reference into your Procreate first. All right, Now minus here of course already the day. But if you want to draw yourself, what you can do is you can tap the wrench. You can go to Canvas and you can say reference. That will bring the reference of the whole picture. But instead we want an image. You click on image. You say import image. It brings you to your camera, your photos, and you just look for the DA that you have downloaded from the reference photos. Now if you press slide here, that corner, you can enlarge it. You can zoom in, zoom out, and you could draw now the Deir yourself. All right, Now I'm gonna hide that again because I don't need it. I've got the day here. Now. You've only got a sketch. That's all we have. And what are we gonna do? I'm gonna do a new layer, but I want this sketch layer. I want it on top of everything. I'm going to move it on top by holding it and then moving it. And we want to lock it. For locking. I'm going to slide to the left. We're gonna say Lock. Now that helps me to prevent to draw, to paint in this case actually, for excellent, on this day. I've got this new layer now, I don't want this to be layered. So I'm going to tap on it. I'm gonna say Rename. I'm going to call this layer the deer on the painting. And I'm giving it numbers. Let me give it a number, let me call it one. And that is on the painting. There you go. It's recognizes the word on the painting. That's where I'm gonna start. Now. To start, we've got all these brushes and if it was all as well, you have this ABB oil brushes that you need that and you see a number of brushes in it. And we're going to limit ourselves to a couple of brushes. We're only going to use a few brushes. We're going to start with simply with the round brush. With the round brush, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna give the deer and underpainting. When your own painting, the underpainting that shows fruit through the rest, that is the base of where you're painting on. This will be the base color. Now normally what you would do in oil painting, you would do the whole canvas, give it a color, but we're going to do that slightly different. We're gonna do this in stages. We're gonna do today the trees, and then we're gonna do the background. That is because these brushes are a little bit transparent, so a little bit not totally opaque, so you see what's under it, coming through it again. So that is why we want to start this slightly different because we are going to use a dark background and I don't want it to come through the trees and the deer. We do it a little bit different. We start with the deer on the painting. For that we need a color, of course, we have to winter illustration in O. That is the palette we're going to use. I'm gonna say disk, and here's all these colors. Now what I've done, I've arranged them nicely and colors. This for there, the trees, and then for the background and some extra colors and rest screen just to get them nicely into rows, I'm going to just start with the first column. That's what Is it, a bit of an umber color. I'm going to paint the whole day, But notice is notice endless or his staghorn, depending on what you want to call it. Alright, now let's start with this book or stack, whatever you call it. I'm just keep on calling it Idiom. All right. I've got my opacity on a 100%, I've got the science on, let's say 5%. And let's see if that works well for this. Works well for the heads and I'm just going to paint in the whole head as this spot, they're just give some color. Now I see I've gone a little bit outside of it, so I'm gonna make use of eraser. Now, in oil painting, you can actually erase your oil, but it's gonna be a smelly process with cloths and smelly stuff in procreate. This is a lot easier. All right, I'm going to enlarge the brush a bit to about 7%. I'm gonna do the rest of the body with this oil brushes. If I press really firm, you get a really strong color. And if I then press lightly, you can spread it around. Like that. So I'm not pressing really firm, I'm just pressing this lightly. I want a nice column. And I don't really care if this is an even color or a bit messy. That's fine. Since we're going to paint over it. If you have it a little bit, some nuances in column that comes through later on. And it looks pretty nice to, let me do it here. Do the legs. There we go a little bit there. Let's check here. It's nice a bit outside. Erase that. Alright, do the back-end of pressing a little bit harder and then spreading my paint out. This is just the underpainting. We're just going to block in what they call each area so that we know exactly where are we going to paint on later on. I'm picking a light color on purpose because that saves me later on some work with adding highlights. So whatever we're going to paint on, this will be darker. And if we don't paint on certain areas, we just preserve this light color and have our highlights right away. Make it ourselves a bit easy. Well, I've done there. Let's do it is going back to my color palette and we're going to pick the second color, that gray color. And I'm using this gray color for it. I want to go back to that 5, 4%. You go, That's one ear. Second ear. Then I'm gonna do its antlers or the staghorn, same round brush. But I'm picking the third column. Let me just go in color by color up the third color. I'm going to lower this brush to about 2% because these endless aren't. Fig, that's large S. The rest is. And I'm gonna paint that in lightly. There we go. Let me start it just at the top. If I need to do a small spot like this, I'm just pressing a little bit less firm. That will be there. If I hide the sketch, you get the deer already see that is that is really a dear, let me get this sketch back. All right, That's the first step. The next step we're gonna do, we're gonna do these trees. We do the front teeth. The bacteria is giving them both, each their own layer so that we don't mess up. Alright, let's do that. Now I've got these in a nice layer. I don't want to miss this layer up, so I'm going to add a layer. I'm going to add a layer above it, and I'm starting with the front trees. So let me call this layer too. I'm calling this just trees. The painting. Let me spell that right. And there you go. Trees on the painting. The front trees, so these go in front of the deer. I'm keeping this layer above the deer so that it actually goes in front. The front trees are the stream, this tree and the stream. Now as you noticed on this front trees, there's actually some snow on the little one in the site. To stump is some snow. The victory has some snow on it to what we're gonna do. We're actually not going to paint the snow. We're going to paint all around it, filled it all in with color. And then by itself, the snow will appear. There's a term for that and that is called negative painting. By painting all around it and not the subject itself. You paint actually the negative part, they call it the positive part from parts, what you want to really show that appears by itself. All right, The three, we're gonna pick the same brush. We're going to stick with the round brush. We're going to get a different color. We're going to start with the highlight, picking really bright yellow. What we're going to do with the bright yellow. Now the stream, let's pretend I light comes from this side. So that would mean that this side is yellow, this side and a little bit not here. Do you Bright would be the snow, but around here that will be a little bit of light. I'm starting with this one. What do I have sizes too small? Let's go to about 5%. That's good. I'm painting in yellow, just around the edge where I want it. There you go. Can go a little bit over the deer. That is not a problem. And the same here. I'm going to add that yellow right there, but not too much outside. I'm going to do that with the street to give it some nice yellow. There you go. And the width doesn't really matter. You could feel redo the whole tree if you wanted to, but we're not gonna do that. This part two here, I want some yellow right there. Alright. I'm gonna go back to the color. I want to pick the next color, that light brown. I'm going to use this for the front trees. The under painting color might want to go slightly larger, seven per cent. To save some time. At the end. Away from the light, you can press a little bit harder, but then the rest, hardly pressing very lightly. And I'm blending in the yellow a little bit. As you can see, with that other color. Get a nice transition from the darker to lighter. A little bit here. And there you go. I was almost the same color as that. There are still slightly different. Let's do this one too. Now here I got to pay attention. I actually don't want to paint on my snow. And if they do that a little bit, Um, I just erase it a little bit again. I want to have some stronger colors here. And then I'm gonna go lighter here, blending that yellow a little bit. There we go. Good little bit around here. And now we're gonna do this part pressing firm at the beginning and then easing of the pressure and letting this all blend in nicely. There we go. A little bit of widest snowing. Snowing. Yeah, it is going to snow, but not yet. A little bit of white is still showing through. That is not a problem since it is snowy scene. Now here the dark part will be here where the snow is casting a shadow onto the tree. And the rest were gonna do lighter again, blended in a little bit. And there you go. That would be from trees. Now we're gonna do the bacteria is to add another layer. I'm going to call that still trees. I'm gonna give that number. Free. Trees on the painting. Got to give that actually the same name. But I want this under the deer. Because the deer is of course, in front of those trees. We're going to start here the same. I'm going to pick that yellow. I'm gonna do it where there is the light, but I got it. Go a little bit thinner to free percent. I'm gonna come for two per cent. This first trees here, this tree and this tree, this tree is in front of this three overlapping it. So there will be no highlight here. But there is highlight on this one. I'm going to go for free percent. That makes it a bit easier and quicker. There you go. I'm only gonna do that one tree and the two trees that are overlapping each other. At least I'm gonna talk you food apart the rest of speeding up because you just don't want me to see me paint every tree most likely. And you can do that yourself. Principle is the same. Start at the highlight and the darker parts. Alright, let me do demonstrate that one tree. While actually free trees, I've got my highlight in for the first three. The next color, I'm going to pick the first color that is that dark color for the tree. So the second row, the third column. And that is my dark traditions trees are in the back and I want them dark. And getting some dark trees. I'm going to create some nice contrast. And what I'm doing is basically the same as with the auditory. I'm pressing hard at the end. And then I'm just easing of the pressure and blending in the highlight nicely. We go close up a little bit. Undermine. Do another line. Behind this day you go. That's my back of the trees. Blend this in a little bit nicer so that I don't have too many white gaps in this one. There you go. Now seeing that looks already like a nice tree. See simple scene. What we're going to add of course more with now these two here, what I'm gonna do with the vector 31 is overshadowed by the other one because its in France. I'm gonna do this one really dark. There you go. The one in front. I'm actually gonna do slightly lighter with lighter pressure painting. I want to blend them in a little bit. Actually, no whites. There you go. That's what I'm gonna do with these trees. Now the rest of the trees, I'm gonna do exactly the same, but I'm gonna speak that part up. We've got this. As you can see, you need to pay a little bit of tension where the trees go, where they don't go. I made some mistakes, so I had to erase that. But it's all nice Now here also there whether there is don't go through today but may create it like this. Now let's hide that sketch again. And what we're getting is this nice back painting. We're going to check it and as you can see, some of the snow here. And this is NO2. It's already actually appearing a little bit. I just want to check on these where it's behind the stack. And just a little bit on these edges there get a nice smooth transition where I don't want these white spots. So between the deer and the trees, I'm just painting in that a little bit here to getting a nicer transition here to a little bit. There, a little bit. See here. Careful that I don't go too much behind it there. If I go behind the DRC, you're getting that all through it. You seeing that very strong because the DEA color is quite light. But there you go. There it is Good. We're gonna do, I'm gonna do the same with the ears. So I'm going to go back to the deer. I'm going back to that gray color. I'm going to just blend this in a little bit with the head here to there you go, so that these don't seem separated from the rest. And we might do the same with the endless too little bit. They're blended in a little. While this one is quite nice, right? We're just going to keep it like this. Maybe do while I'm on the dare. Get that first light dear color. Added a little bit right there. So that's, you don't have that white spot there either. Now click, that looks nicely and that already starts to look like a painting. We're not going to fill in the background. So for that I'm going to add a new layer. And I'm going to slide that layer totally on the bottom. And I'm going to call that layer. That's number four then. And that is just gonna be the background. And I don't need on the painting background is fine. For the background unwanted my sketch back. I want to see too about where I'm gonna do the background. For the background, I'm going to pick a different brush. I'm going to pick the oil depth one, this brush. I want to pick a different column. And that is that first color on the third row. That's blueish. It's still blue, pretty much darker blue color. And I'm going to paint the background. Now, if I'm going to paint it just lets me put that on large. We can show them on the right layer. And if I'm going to paint like this, you see what happens. The whole deer and the trees get that same color. I don't want that. I don't want to spend erasing all the time. So I'm just going to paint that in really nicely. Not that big. There we go. If I go under the dark part of the tree, I don't mind, but I don't want to go under the highlight of the tree. I want to make sure I'm not painting on my snow. There you go. There you go. And the rest. That is okay, good. That is what I'm gonna do with all of these. I'm just going to fill in all these parts. And then once I'm done with that, I'll be back. Yeah. I'm gonna speak that part up because that is obvious what I'm gonna do. All right. I'm speeding this part up to That's my background. Let me hide my sketch for a moment and let's see how it looks. It looks pretty nice, it doesn't it? Let's see here some whites. Let's make sure we go. They're a little bit just correcting a little bit of my mistakes here a little bit carefully down that I'm not messing up my whites, whites know my highlights here a little bit under it to very lightly. I don't want to have these white parts, although later on we can correct that though with the paint we're going to put over it. But for the rest, I'm pretty happy with this little bit here. Indefinitely. Little bit there too. There we go. Now, that's what my painting so far. It looks like now leaving that background quite rough as it is. And you now already can see the nice contrast between the background to really back the trees and the trees in front and a little bit of the deer. Now when we're going to paint in the rest and gift these different colors, the DA will stand out more than it does now. Of course, as you can see, of course now the snow already, pretty much without even painting anything of snow, we really cut that hint of snow already. Okay, well, that's it for this lesson. We've got our background ready. In the next lesson, we're going to paint that they're created really nicely. Make it a nice day with nice colors, give him his eyes, and so on. Just create a beautiful stack. All right, I'll see you in the next lesson. 4. Painting the Deer: Ready for the next lesson? Well, I am, so let's get right into this lesson. We're going to paint the deer. Now, what we're doing, we're creating an illustration or a painting, painted illustration, illustrator for the paint. However you want to say that I'm going to go super accurate. We don't want to have a realistic while, we do want to have a semi realistic scene, but it isn't illustration. You leave some 2D imagination. You don't fill in every detail. Just got to be a nice representation of the snow in the forest. All right, but we're gonna work on a dare. For that. We're going to a new layer and we're going to do that above the underpainting. The underpainting is under it. So we're going to paint above it. We're going to do go to layers, add a new layer. I'm gonna give this a new name. I think we're on number five. Yes, we are. Five would be simply the dare stack or the book, whatever you want to call it. We're going to paint this dear. We're going to start with the body duty is do the answers. Let's see. What we're gonna do is we're going to stay with that round brush. We're going to go back to the round brush, the paint round brush. I've kept that one. The color. What do we need? We're going to work with two colors. We're going to work with a light column and a dark color. Those colors, we've used these first three color, the deer, the ear, and the endless. We're going to use this color first, sort of fourth column, lighter brown. And then we're going to add a dark brown, more to which the umber kind of color. But we're gonna start with this brown. We're just going to paint the deer again, but we're going to make sure we keep the highlights a little bit where we want them. The first thing I'm gonna do is bring back the sketch so I can really see what I'm gonna do and we'll start with the head. Let's see, I'm going to go through about 5%. And I want to start at this side, press quite hard here, and then ease of the pressure and paint this in nicely. It creates those tones as I'm doing here. Now you get already right away. You can see this idea, light to dark, lighter here, darker down. Around here, it's pretty dark. So I'm going to blend that in dark. The top part here, little bit less dark under here. I want some color but not too dark. And later on we're going to fill that in with different colors. I'm just painting this part in. I might go slightly larger for this part, about 8%. Pressing a bit harder around their blending it in nicely. I get this nice deep color that stands out from the rest and then they'll stand down, doesn't it? Let's see. Careful with that big brush around here. I'm gonna do the back first here. That is nice and dark. And then when I'm getting away from tree to tree will cost, of course, its shadow onto the deer. Around here. I'm gonna go the pressure riddle with might go darker here. Later on I'm gonna worry about adding these highlights now, not the highlights, but adding these shadow parts. You can go quite rough with this. I want to smear it out a little bit to get a nice blends, a nice texture. We're gonna go for 4%. Want to go paint down here, slightly darker there. Around the edge, a little bit. There. I want to do dislike to the two legs. Here we go. That's that first part now. A little bit more in his neck there. See, I've got some white there. Want to get rid of that? Alright, his ears. I'm going to do basically the same. I'm going to touch this part and I'm going to try not to touch the other part, but this painting in a little bit of that same color, but not really pressing hot, just like that. Get a little hint of brown in it here to spreading it nicely out. There you go. Okay, so that's the first layer of my color on the day or the next thing we're gonna do is I'm going to mix in the dark color. We're going to mix in a second color with the team. And for that, we're going to pick that fifth color. That brown to which the gray, we're going to change brushes to oil, gosh, I want to set it to, what is it done? 14, Thirteen, 14%. That's nice. I'm going to just add some spots here and there. And do this really roughly. Create a little bit of the texture in the Deir with the darker parts where it is dare to, on the hair. On the hair too a little bit. Maybe around this leg a little bit. Just create some interesting texture with this color. I'm gonna do that with the ears to smaller to around 5%. A little bit at the darker parts. And a little bit there too. With this same brush, we're going back to that fourth color. At first color I put on there. Well, not the light color, but the brown. And I'm going to just need a bigger against 14, 15%. And I'm going to do that, mixed it in a little bit nicer, and create a little bit of texture here and there you go. Alright? Now I've gone outside of the, there you go, that's better. Okay. I'm gonna leave it like this. I'm going to go for the next thing. I'm going to add some of the light colors. Notice deer has some light paths around the tail there, there, around the tip of his two. And around here is light and around his mouth there's some lighter parts to you in his eyes. I'm going to bring those in. I might just use the same brush. I'm gonna pick that lightest color first. Later on we're gonna work with white, but for now, let's pick this color 7%. And I'm going to add that not as too big. Let's go for 5, 4%. That's good. We're going to add that light color there. I want to add that light color here and around his mouth there. And around his eyes. I want that color to there to there. Around the bottom of the tail to. The next thing we're gonna do is we're going to work on these atlas, the stack horns. Let's do that. I'm going back to the round brush, I need some control. This dish is nice, gives me a light texture, but not really much control. So I'm going back to the round brush. I'm going to use that same darker color. I used. The deer. Want to make sure this is two per cent. Yeah, that is good and I'm going to add in let's do big, Let's go to the one-percent for this one. I'm gonna go at the dark side and then I'm gonna submit it into the light side. There you go. Here too. At the bottom. Smeared it in nicely to get that nice color blended in a little bit. Her2 might do that around here. And let us do that. Ground here to the bottom. Smear it out a little bit. Let's go with stronger there too. All right, that's looking nice now we need it here to create a nice transition there. This needs to be darker. This is part of the hormone that goes in front of the rest. But still want a little bit of color more right there. But this, I want to be darker. We go blend that a little bit. Nice thing about these brushes. The pressure, and you can blend in really nicely, press hard. You get a nice color. All right, I want this edge to be slightly stronger. Later on we're going to add a really dark color to be most of it. Let's see a little bit around here still. All right. I'm happy with this. Well, we're getting there. We're almost done. We're gonna do next is we're going to add the shadow parts and we're going to add those really white parts around his eyes and where the tail parts are. We gonna do that now? Now normally what you would do for the darker parts and the highlights, you would add another layer. I can multiply layer for shadows and overlay or one of these light layers for the Lightboard, we're not gonna do that. We're simulating oil painting without adding all these tricks. Now we're working in layers. That's what you do with all play into. You put down a layer, you wait till it's dry and then you can put in a nice layer above it and it doesn't influence the layer below it. With watercolor, that's a different matter. If you put down a layer, put it on the next layer, that will influence, but with oil paints, because it's dry, it will not do that. So we're making use of the layer principle, but we're not using tricks you would normally use in Procreate. We have to paint in dark parts. All right, now with this one, What's your painting? So the paint is not right. We can nicely blend in a dark color. What we're gonna do for that is, we're gonna go back to that all your dish. We're going to pick that really dark brown almost at the end, not that one. This one is really, really dark, but we're not using this one. I think today. We're going to add some really dark parts. Now let's see how large is the brush for 5%. Nice. Now let's see. Around here. Here would be definitely some shadows. So we're painting some shadow. And now we're blending it in by easing of the pressure nicely. I wanted there to look at now you get some nice dark parts right away. I wanted a little bit here too, not too much. Around here, the tail behind it till I want it to be darker. This is darker. But then I want to blend it in with the rest of easing of the pressure. To get this nice transition, I'm going to do the same here to this dark. But then blend it in really nicely with the rest down here to blend in nicely. Again, I'm not worrying if I skip some parts like here, I skipped the part that just creates a nice tone and a nice texture. I'm not worrying about that too much. Blending this in a little bit more. There you go. Now round here. Back part. I do. That's a little bit blended in. I don't like this plot blended in a little bit more. Now, what a tree is gonna be? A dark line and honest select two. And I'm just blending it in with the rest. Now I might get a bigger brush for this one. Let's go to 10%. Then the blends in nicer down we go. Alright, and add some more. Stronger. There you go. Now you get this nice DRC with nice dark parts. This part will be pretty dark. But up there it will be a lot less dark here too. Now let's go back to the smaller brush, 4%, 3, 4% percent. To do it right there. Now, there's a lag behind it. Let's add that leg to it like that. Now you get two different legs. We're going to add a little bit more shadow there. All right, I want some shadow around this, his color. And let's add blend in a little bit shadow, color, nuance there. To get some interest. That's blend this in. A little bit nicer to. There you go, you get a bit of a color idea. I might do that here too. And definitely back of his neck. Blend this in a little bit nicer. I want the darker color, slightly here to there you go. That's looking nice, doesn't it? Now around his mouth. Might want to add just a little bit of a darker tone. There is, ear is not as high. And I want some little bit there around this part of his eye, not too much. There you go. Let's see. I want this part to be slightly darker and around here, I want some dark tones to, now we're getting a nice blend. Now. I think this is too light, so I'm very lightly adding some color here. Let's see how this looks good, doesn't it? Little bit here. It's randomly. Go down, might go some good. Alright, now his ears, Let's see. Little bit. That's too big. We're going for this brush, but I'm going to 2% this part. I want some shadow there. And I want some shadow there, but makes sure I blend in nicely here to around there. And I want some here. And around there. That's nice since I'm on that I'm going all the way down to 1%. I'm going to add a little bit of a line down here too to make this really stand out from the rest shadow line, just a little bit of a shadow line that will help the endless stand out really nicely. Then you go around here to add a darker color, a little bit. Blended in, nicer. Good. There too. All right, some small random strokes here, and let's not do it here. Let's keep it like this. Alright, that's that, that's the dark part. Now the next thing I'm gonna do, we're gonna go to that white color here. With the same brush, bit larger CO2 above 3%. I'm going to add the white and where I wanted y to be. I want this to be more white but not really wide, wide. So that is why I'm blending that color. Led light brown that is under it, adding some white and then mixing that in to get that nice color. I'm not getting white, white, but I'm still getting a light color. That's what we're gonna do that around the ice to a little bit. Around here to there you go. That is nice, same around the tail. Mixing in a little bit of white to make it a white-tailed deer. Now we've got the species, but it's not really species, is it? Good? What I'm gonna do here? I'm going to add just a little bit around here to get this a little bit more playful. Adding too much just some white spots here and there to make it more interesting. Now let's hide that sketch. Look at the Deir and say Look at that. That looks nice except for this. This doesn't really look really nice. Blend this in a little bit better. Blend this in a little bit better too. There you go. We need to add the eyes and the nose to get some more definition. But this looks pretty nice, nice illustrated painting. We're stopping here in this lesson. Next lesson, I'm going to add a little bit of definition to the d. And then we're gonna add this ice and a nose and do something on the AS2. We welcome that. Alright, do that in the next lesson. If you haven't done this, then create the deer. Once you've done with the dear, I'll see you in the next lesson. 5. Eyes, Ears, Nose and Mouth: Welcome to the next lesson. We're going to work on the ice. Denotes the DEA needs a little bit of a mouth to of course, for the air. If he doesn't have a mouth can't eat in the winter, that's not good for them. But first we're going to add a little bit more definition to the deer itself. And then we're gonna work on that. I own those eyes and the rest. All right, Let's start. Alright, we're gonna do a little bit around here. Go into debts. First color again. This one not the first, not that light, but the first color here. And I'm going to add in here a little bit with debts. Steel cup, the dash, we've set it, set it on 2%. I want a little bit off halfs around here. Just a little bit hint off around the back to just a little hint off, not something that is accurate. So as you can see it, I got rather quick but more a hint off hairs here to a little bit more. Get that to a little bit nicer. All right, There we go. Do that around here a little bit too. But just very lightly, fairly roughly. I'm not going to do anymore. What I want to do is going back to that really dark color. I want to add a little bit of a line here. Still want to do the same here. Slightly darker, the pec off. And I want that too. Now that is much better. Now I like it a lot better. Do that around there too, a little bit. We want to dope. Let's see. Under here, I want to add a little bit of that shape. Let's bring back that sketch, right? And little bit of that head shape Back again. Make that more clear where that goes and whether it doesn't go. I do that here too. There you go. Let's see. That is a little bit better, a little bit shadow in here. I want a little bit there. Let's hide the sketch, right, That's better Now we're getting the shape of the head a lot better. I don't like the part here. I'm going back to the original Cola, that light's going to just blend in a little bit there. Some highlights just a little bit here, around here at the sketch. Now that's better. Now we're getting a little bit for better shape. All right. Well, we've got that there, that there is staring into nothing. So let's add the ice. Let's bring back the sketch. And for that we're going to do a new layer because I don't want that color to mix in with the rest. So now we're pretending that the other layers are dry. I'm going to rename that will be layer six and then I'm going to call that simply ice and the rest, just saving myself some typing. Alright, for that, we're going to use a round brush because I wanted to begin, I want some control. I don't want this to be a mess. I'm picking a round brush. 2%, no, one to 2%. Let's keep it on one per cent wouldn't need that black color now, yes, we are going to use the black color. I said we might not use it, but we are going to use it. I'm just going to paint this in a little bit. And then in the middle and we're gonna do stronger so around it. Grayish. And then in the middle of the pupil itself, I'm going to add dark color. Doing the same. Kind of add black in the middle. Going to create that. I now see, there you go. That looks better. Here. We're going to do a little bit of shadow around here too. And on the bottom two, we're going to do exactly the same around here. I might create a little bit of a blank spots there in the middle here too, that you go, going back to that 1%, let's do the mouth. I'm not gonna do to mouth like this much. Drawing in the mouth. Think I'm going to keep it like that. Co2, 2%. And I'm going to draw in them nos. I want them to be nice and dark. There we go. All right, Let's check. That is nice. Look now we are having a deer. Definitely a lot better. Let's go to 1% and make the top of the nose nicer than what it is here. And make denotes a bit wider. Rounder day you go. Let's check these ice raw. Think we're okay with that. All right. There you go. That's how we finish out there. Let's finish it yet, Let's do it a little bit. Now let's pick the white. Go to denote. Want some highlights. Mixing in a little bit of white. They're mixing it up again day you go rounds. Mix it in nicely highlighted part. And I'm going to make some little bit of highlights in the eyes to make them lightly. There you go. Just do that. Bit more here. Two nice mouth. Let me correct that mouth a little bit. Make them wide, larger, free percent, and add definitely some white. Some of these parts day you go to is nice and white. That's good. Except for 2% here, some light. Really at the bottom of the tube, some more white. Now or having a nice deal, I'm going to stop with this deer. My dear is nice, so I'm not gonna touch it anymore. All right. When you like something, just don't touch it anymore. Or what you can do. If you still want to experiment with something, you just add a layer above it, start experimenting. If it all goes wrong. Often lost, you just delete that layer, erase it, and start over again or just abandoned the experiment. All right, That's it. At least that's it for today. Of course, we're going to work on those trees. We'll do that in the next lesson. 6. The Trees: Welcome back. We're gonna work on the trees. Let's start with the front trees first and then do the trees in the back. But we're doing the front, reach to the front trees needs some attention. But we don't want to make them too to details so that they take away from the deer, were bringing a nuance between those front trees and the D. Alright, let's give that a try now. For that we're gonna need, of course, a new layer. We're gonna do that layer above the trees on the painting obviously. And I'm going to rename that, that will be later number seven, I'm just gonna call that front trees. There it is, right? If you added our new layer and let's see what shall we start? Let's start with this one here. What we're gonna do is we're going to use a flat brush for this and that creates some nice texture in it. So the oil paint flat brush, that one. We're going to start with a light brown and then put a dark brown on top of it. Some, add some details. So let's start with that light brown. Let's go to the, not to the brushes. Let's go to the palate. This is the trees. We've used these three, so the light prime Brown would be this color. Let's see how largest mine, 2%, I can tell you that is too small. I wanted a larger. And let's see, we've got 6% now. I could do six per cent, definitely. All right, good. I'm going to start with this one. Now. We're going to paint in this color and I'm gonna do this nice and rough. But I'm going to make sure that of course, I'm keeping my snow. I'm gonna make my strokes and then blend this in a little bit. There we go. And I want this highlights to stay there. I'm gonna do it like this and this. I want to be nice stroke to more angled under the angle going with the tree. Creating those strokes, that would be that one. I'm going to do the same on the street to the back. I'm going to add stock strong strokes. And then what I'm going to the front, I'm going to paint it in nicely, blend it in nicely. Now at the bottom, I want definitely some more to get a nice definition of the Tracy and that works nice here to some strong colors. Then blending it in nicely might keep some of that highlighted color here too. You can do this quite roughly because then the tree gets really nice bark. We're going to add detail. But we're gonna, I'm gonna just leave my tree except for here. Basically nicely like that. There you go. I might just make sure I'll add some strokes, nice long strokes there. Alright, I'm gonna do this tree. This is the easy one. Those strokes ready? Now, I want to ease off my pressure. Blending those strokes. Landed in there a little bit too. As the same as swifter there. If you're happy, you're happy with it. And I'm happy with this. I just don't want to do much on this because I wanted to steer to get the most of the attention. But I still want some nice tree and we're going to bring in some definition with a darker color. For sure. Here. This needs that dark color too. Easy enough right there. I want to make sure I've got the dark color right here to want to keep that highlighted color behind it. Now I'm going to just bring those strokes straight again with long strokes. Having any pressure. Like there we go. I need some here too. Definitely. I did etch here. Long, nice long strokes to create that bark effects, right? I like that. Now. I need some more around this edge. Definitely. There we go. Now I like that. That will be my first step. Let's see what I want here. Probably slightly darker. This one. There you go. I like that a little bit better. Make it a bit more interesting. So it wouldn't be the first step, the second step we're gonna do, we're gonna go to that three dark color, that dark brown. We're going to use the same brush. What are we going to lower it? 2%? Let's give it a try. Now want to bring in some details. With details, what I mean is simply demonstrated on this tree again. Now, the first thing I want, of course, is where the snow is. A little bit of darker brown here too. We're going to add some shadow to it later on, but there you go. And you can see that the snow is really starting to come out. With this one we're gonna do is you're going to add some random strokes like this and create just some definition in the tree. Good. Gonna do the same right here on the back, adding it really dark color and then getting some definition. And I could go with 1% to even get some thinner lines. What I'm liking it like this, I'm doing a stroke and then I'm easing of the pressure and blend it in a little bit better. Very simple way. To create some bark. Get the idea of a buck. You don't need to paint. Every piece of bark, every little shadow, every little piece you can see here works really well. You get the idea that has some nice bark going on. Now this one is upfront. So what I'm gonna do with this one, I'm going to do it a little bit more and get rid of these spots at the ends, blending them in a little bit. Let that one go all the way up. Another one going all the way up. Get rid of those. Now that is much nicer. Get rid of those points. Okay? This one is nice, this one is nice. Let me do this one. Same principle. We're going to add some dark color at the Edge. By adding the dark color at the edge, you get the idea also that the tree has some shape. It's not straight anymore, but it has some rounded forms. Going to again, some of that definition in the book. Strokes. All right. I think I'll leave it like that. Don't want to go around an edge. So I'm adding some more here. Nice. I'm gonna do the same right here. Let it snow, make it slightly darker. Really simple. There we go. Good enough. Let's do a few small ones. Oddly pressing here, adding some really small ones. Stay, you go under, I don't like this one. I like it better. Now the BOC has the trees get some bark like this. The attention states on the deer also because of the slightly darker color that is used. So we get some nice contrast. Now we need to do the back trees. I want them to be slightly darker. Get a little bit of definition to. I don't want to leave them rough like this. So let's do those trees too. We're going to add a new layer. That of course goes under the underpainting of the trees. No, not under on top of it. I'm adding a new layer saying plus there, I'm renaming it. What am I on? On number eight? Yes. I'm calling that the factories. There you go. That is under the rest. So under the deer, under these trees, but still need to pay attention what I'm doing. I want to do the same. I'm going to use the same brush, the same flat brush. I'm gonna do the vectors, but as you probably notice. It's getting dark here. That's because it actually started to snow here. Not much. Just a light snow. It's going to stay like in this picture, but it is like a little bit of wet snow coming down. And I even see people passing by, the rain coats and everything on. You notice that two probably in the video of slightly darker. I think I've adjusted the light enough so that we can continue. Let's do that. Okay, So we're going to do, do back trees. Now, we've added that new layer. We're going to use exactly the same flat brush. We're going to use the same colors too. We're gonna go for that light color first and paint in a little bit of these trees. I'm going to start right here. I might need a little bit of a 4%, and we're gonna do that lightly. I'm not pressing hard with this one. I want to have that color blending in a little bit. Just want this tree to have a little bit more color than it has now. There you go. I like that. With this tree. I want the color to lightly in it. I wanted to make sure that that base color is still in there. Bottom color, and I'll make sure I'm not gonna go over my snow. Alright, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do these two trees. This tree here demonstrated this tree and the rest. Of course I'm going to speed up again. All right. I've got this trip now. Yes. I'm like, that is the eraser. I don't want that. All right. Let me adjust that some very lightly adding this color in. Want to make sure I keep some of that highlight too, but blended in a little bit more. Now I'm going to the darker color again. And on the back, I'm going to add some of that darker color here at the bottom a little bit. Then at the back a little bit. To get some definition in the trees. There you go. And add some random strokes here and there. And that's all I'm gonna do with this tree. This tree here on front. I'm keeping the color it is, but the back tree. I'm going to add that dark, nice color. Later on we're going to create shadow line to make sure you really see that this is a different tree. Get my eraser back again. Okay. That's it. And I'm gonna do that basically with all of these trees, but I'm gonna speed that process up. I'll see you back when I'm done with this. Pretty much done. Like this part here. Same here. Definition of the tree here too. All right, good. Now I've got these nice three. So we've got some nice trees in the back, some nice trees in the front. And I cut this dear standing out nicely. We're going to work some more on this in the next lesson. In the next lesson we're going to add the final touch you students painting snow at some of the darker shadow to it to in the hole. And then finish this painting together. Alright, I will see you in the next lesson. 7. Adding the final Details: This is gonna be the last lesson. We're going to add our final details. We're going to look a little bit on the snow, add some snow to it, and we're going to add some shadow, brings some darker parts in it. Little bit more definition, simulating more of the light shadow effect and then completing this painting. All right, let's start. Or should I say, that's finish? We've got this now I'm pretty happy with all of it. It looks quite nice, nice illustration. I just wanted to work on that snow for that we're going to have a layer above everything. And I'm going to call that layer surprisingly snow of course. Let's call it 88 will be the snow. What I'm gonna do for that, I'm going to opt traditionally pick that white color. Now most of us know is there already. And only we need some definition later on here we do that with shadow because we're not actually really painting the snow. But let's pick the oldest brush. Let's see, I want this one or that one for that. I've got the white color. I got a layer on top of it and I want to have some snowflakes falling down, but I also want to work a little bit on the edges of the snow and make them slightly more nice. I like this here. I wasn't going to do. Let me see it is unfree percent. Let's see if that is good for this. What I'm gonna do first, a little bit, these edges away, some of the mistakes I made. Now at the bottom here. I want this to go a bit further. And now it starts to look nicely like snow at the bottoms of these trees. I want that snow effect too. And I might just go a little bit launch if 5% and just add just a little bit of an edge of snow. That looks just a bit more natural. My pileup some snow. Careful at the deer layer under it so that this line that I have, that obvious line goes away. Piling it up right there to see. And now you get that nice snow effect. Piling it up a little bit here too. Just a little there. And now it looks way more natural, except for here. We're doing that at the Deir stew. Right now he's very much standing in the snow. And I want to do that on this tree to this tree, I want to do few things. Let's add that snow first. Let's have that snow piling up slightly more. There we go. What I want I want some snow actually on the street. Like that, maybe a little bit around here. There we go. Now we get a more natural look on the fade this out a little bit. Let's add the ash of snow here too. Good. There, just a little bit. This is pretty okay. I would say strongly. There you go. Now that's the snow. I'm happy with that. Happy with this. We're gonna leave it like this. Next thing we're gonna do under the snow, we're going to add a layer of shadow and I'm going to call that shadowed and of course, number nine, shadow. I'm going to stick to the same brushes, should have picked another brush. Now I'm going to go for the dash brush, for the shadows. I'm going to use the dash brush. And I want this color, the last color on the bottom row, that is a nice indigo like color. And I want to add some shadow here. I'm going to stop right here. Let's see, it is on, probably wanted on 2%. What I'm gonna do under the snow, that's too small, Let's go for 4%. That's better. I'm going to add some shadow here. Faded out nicely. There you go. I'm going to start with that. We're gonna do the same here on the street. Snow here. I'm just going to add a little bit of shadow. I'll make this bigger. Let's go for 7%. Let's add some shadow for the tree to. That's good, right? While I'm on, I'm gonna do this snow here. Going back to that 4%, adding a layer of shadow, but making sure fading it out a little bit. There you go. Now you get that nice snow effect C, not doing it under snow, really doing it under the snow in this case. I've cut that. No parts. Let's go for the deer. I want the two. I'm going to about five per cent. Now bigger, Let's go for 78, 8% percent. Painting in a little bit of shadow here. Make sure you faded out. Shadow on this part of the leg. Now do this casting a nice shadow. I want to do the same here. I want some shadow of easily there. All right, I won't this tree here have some more shut-out around the bottom and also a little bit around the back here. But I'm not pressing too hard. So I don't want it to same strength S on the deer. Here in the day of the back leg. I'm going to add that shadow too. And might do a little bit here. Just a hint there. That's too much of a hint. Let's remove that right now. Do I want that here? Perhaps a little bit. I want to sum in the ODE That's too much. I got to lower this brush. Go 4%. I want a little bit in the ear here. I want someone, this handler on the bottom. I want some on the end here too. Let's see where do I want some more? I want some on the face here. Let's go for the back here first. Make sure this is nicely blended in with the rest. And add a little bit of shadow there too. Now I want some on this side of the face. Now we're getting some depth to nice depth. Let's do some on this back leg here that you indeed, the idea There's a leg back there. What will only do the street too? We're adding a shadow line, right? That make a nice definition between dose to transitioning it. And now you have that idea, front and back three, alright. Theoretically you could do a little bit snow, snow shadow, I mean, around here we're going to add snow in a minute. Bec trees, they can use that. Sure. You can see, I'm not really worried about being accurate or not. I want that to be dark or too, that's part of the tree. Here to here too. I want them there. And even there. Good. Now let's make it larger again, 9%. I'm going to do District paint, some shadow on it. Going to do no, that's no good. The same with distri right there. Making sure it's not coming, becoming too dark. So we'll will take away the snow effects. All right, and just want a little bit more. I think that is quite a nice except for this one. As add some shadow on this one too, to enhance the light effect we have here. Let's do much. Bring it back. Nice, Good. There you go. We're almost done. We need some snow, but we also need some shadow on the floor, on the ground to make sure this is starting to look like snow on the ground. Let's do that. Snow on the ground. We need that because now it's looking like one big white thing and it is not 1 third of fish least some shadow. Let's see what do I have here? Let's go for 7%, same brush. Now, the light comes from here. So the D would be casting obviously some shadow and I'm just going to paint some lines in like this. Under this shadow, the tree HER2, around here too. There you go. And now see that already improves that whole bit right away. Let's do just a little bit of random strokes here and there you go. Now it definitely looks like snow see a little bit of touch. That improves the whole thing right away. Might darken this where the actual deer is a little bit. And to strengthen that a little bit more, may want to have some dark on the hair too. There we go. Now, that looks a lot better right away. Okay. Now we just need snow, so we're going to go back to the snow. We're going to use the same pitch brush should we use? Going back to the old depth brush? First of all, we're gonna go back to the white, going to the oil depth brush we've used. Let me see how large is it? I wanted to, I guess 2%. Let's give it a try. I want some snow falling and there you go. Yes. Right. Press slider, press harder. That is not right. Let's go for free percent. For even that's check for is good. We're having some snow falling. Just make sure you keep this a little bit random. We go. That looks nice, doesn't it? Just a little bit more. Now some big flakes. And we go on here a little bit. Yes, we should have some here to get the idea snow is falling and we need some. That tree hopefully forgot that. Happy, happy. I'm happy with it. I'm very happy with it. One thing, the last thing I want to change his handler, I'm going back to the shadow layer, going back to that shadow color, going to the round brush, I would say, make it a smallest possible and add a little bit of a shadow line right here too. Around this edge. Going up here, but also adding shadow line there. Fading this one out a little bit. There we go. I think that is a lot better. I'm gonna do that for the ear to hear. A little bit of a shadow also inside the air to bring just a little bit of like it. They're not that one. Don't want it needs to go right under it. There you go. That too much. That's too much. Let's remove that one. Let's not do that. Wait, studies. I got to blend it in proline. Get the brush back larger, carefully, right? Blended away. Here to blending it in. That's fine, That's better. All right. I think I might just leave it like this. Happy with a line there. That's it. We're gonna stop. We're going to leave it like this. Alright. We're done painting. One more thing left, that is the project. And I'll explain about that in the next lesson. I'll see you in the last lesson. Lesson just discussing the project. See you then. 8. The Project: Welcome to the last video, the projects, it's not really lesson, but the projects, what we're gonna do for the project. Well, I would say paint this illustration. If you want a real challenge, instead of using my sketch, you could do your own sketch of the deer. Even the difference there if you wanted to, are used to want to supply. And then start painting of this, follow the steps. But make sure you're not using the tricks we can use for the snow, you could use a special snow brush. Just dividend in one go. No, just pretend we're really painting with brushes as if we're traditional painting on a digital device. That is the challenge. Challenge, do that. No tricks. Just simply using the basics of procreate and create a beautiful illustration with it. And as you can see, once you get a little bit the hang of these techniques, you can create something really pretty once you're done, post it so that we can all see it and enjoy what you're creating. And thank you for being with me in this class. You may want to follow me because I'm posting more procreate class in the future and there are already more in my profile. So checkout my profile does more to learn, more oil painting, but also illustrating, sketching, some various things you can do in Procreate. Alright, thanks again, and I hope to see you in another class of mine.
