Learn Infinite Painter in a Day: Beginner's Guide to Digital Art

1. Intro: Hello, my name is teoh and I'm an artist, graphic designer, and urban sketcher who enjoy sketching on location. I use a variety of tools to create Art. I use both traditional as well as digital tools. In this course, I'm going to teach you how to create digital Art using Infinite Painter, which is an app that's available on the iPad, Android tablets. Infinite Painter is the capable and versatile drawing app, and it's quite easy to learn, believe it or not, I'm gonna teach you Infinite Painter, the Digital Art workflow, the basic tools in a Day. Follow along with this course, I recommend you use a tablet that supports an active stylus that supports tilt, prejudice, sensitivity, and palm rejection. While it is possible to use a tablet that does not support an active stylus. Though user experience while drawing is not going to be ideal. And of course you will need the app Infinite Painter, which is not free, but this app is not expensive. This app is just us $10 for a one-time purchase, so it's really worth the money. Let's look at Art projects we will create for this course. This course is for beginners and I will teach you how to draw with shapes. I'll teach you how to color and what we've layers. I will teach you the basic Digital Art workflow. We will learn how to create Line Art. We will learn masking tools, and we will learn how you can create patterns using the app that you have created for the final project, we will draw a simple chair using Line Art, and I will teach you how to import pattern that you have created onto the fabric for this Chair. I will teach you how to add shadows to the chair, how to create variations. For this Chair, we will learn to use serveral digital tools to complete our Art projects. And I will show you how to create shortcuts so that you can work more productively. I will teach you how to backup your artworks so that in the event that you're Tablet is damaged or is gone for whatever reason, there is a way to restore Your Art after you have learned a basic techniques to creating digital Art and completed Your Art projects. Do share them with me because I would love to have a look, see what you have drawn and maybe give you some suggestions on how to improve. And if you have any questions along the way to write them down so that you can contact me and I will gladly answer those questions. To get more drawing practice, you can download the extra reference images that I have provided. Now in the next lesson, I will talk a bit more about the hardware and software requirements. But before we hit over to the first lesson, I have a favor to ask of you if you enjoyed this course and if you find is cost useful to live this course and review so they can help other students discover this course 2. Hardware and Software Requirement: This lesson, I want to talk briefly about the hardware you need in order to follow along with the upcoming drawing exercises. Infinite Painter is available on Android and Apple devices. Infinite Painter can run on phones as well as on tablets. The brand of the device that you use is not important. What is most important is whether your device supports an active stylus. An active stylus is a digital pen that can be recognized, in this case by a tablet. An active stylus will have pressure sensitivity, so you can press down harder to get those thicker lines. And there is palm rejection so you can raise your hand or your palm on the display while you draw and you will not introduce any stray strokes. And if you use a finger to draw, in this case it's just going to move the canvas. You will not introduce any strange strokes. If you're tablet does not support an active stylus, and if you're Tablet cannot differentiate the difference between a pen and your finger, you may have to use those rubber tip or this tip stylus. You can still draw with the rubber tip. This tip stylus is just that. There is no pressure sensitivity and there is no palm rejection. So if you have your palm on the display or finger on your display, you will introduce straight strokes. The drawing experience with a rubber tip, this tip stylus will not be ideal. You can still follow along with the lessons. For Infinite Painter. You will definitely need to get a paid version of the average is a one-time payment of $10. The free version only has eight tools out of the 50 over tools that are available. And it is not possible to complete the Art projects with this aid tools. In this course, I will be drawing with an Android tablet. In this case, this is the Samsung Galaxy tablet that supports such as pen, which is an active stylus. If you are using an iPad with the Apple pencil, you can use that as well. Alright, in the next lesson we will take a look at User Interface of Infinite Painter 3. Gallery User Interface: Once you have open infinite Painter, This is the User Interface you will see. So this is the gallery page where you can see all your artworks. So this is the gallery page for our recent artworks. So if you have any features you want to search for, you can open the user menu as such for the feature using the search box at the top right corner. And there are some news and artists features here as well. To create a new file or artwork, you can tap on blank canvas. You can also create a new artwork based on an image that you have saved on your tablet. And you can create a pattern as well, which I will show you later on. Tap and hold on. An artwork that you have here in this menu will appear to let you Rename, duplicate, share, restore, or delete the file. If you select restore, this will allow you to restore Your Art to an earlier version. Now all these versions are saved automatically, but you can save them manually as well. So this is the current version that I have with the strawberries and blueberries. If I scroll back to the past, you can see this version without the blueberries. So I can choose to restore this if I want to. Before you restore your Art, I recommend you duplicate your Art first so that after you restore, you can have the current version and the restored version to compare with. The first gallery page shows the recent files and the second gallery page shows all the files and photos that you may create. There is one folder here called line test. So if I open this, there's only one fall in it. So let me just go back here. I can select one of the artworks here. In this case, the light has and drag it into the folder. So now when I open a folder, I can see to false here. And if I want to move this fall out of the folder, just tap and hold and ungroup it. Once you have filled up your gallery with your artworks, I'm very sure you will feel satisfied and accomplished. The next lesson we will look at a Settings to use when creating a new file 4. Canvas Settings: Create a new file and see what other settings available tours. So tap on blank canvas. If you want to work from an image that you have on your tablet, you can tap here and choose to import it from your photo gallery or from the folders. Or you can even take a photo with your tablets, cameras, and important that onto the canvas. And this is where you can choose to create a pattern file. So let's move down under Dimensions. Now, there are some pre-program presets that you can choose from. Just tap on the word presets, which obviously does not look like a button. And this drop-down menu of presets will appear. There are standard photograph sizes for print. We have a two to eight. And here we have the social media sizes for Instagram, which is the square format, for stories, which is the vertical format, and for banner, which is the web format. When you select the preset, size will be updated automatically for you, or you can choose to input size or dimensions here to change the units you can tap here and select from pixels, inches, millimeters, and centimeters. If you select pixels, you can adjust a width and height. This is the maximum number of layers you can create with this dimension. The maximum number of layers you can creep. It will depend on how much RAM you have on your tablet. If you want to create from inches, millimeters or centimeters, or as go with this, you can adjust the width, the height, as well as the DPI, which is the resolution. And if you want to work with this, I recommend you go with at least 300 DPI to make your artworks look sharp enough. So for our projects, we will go with pixels. So when I switch from centimeters to pixels, the dimensions will shift slightly due to some conversion. So let me just switch back to the number earlier, which is 2160, which is the Instagram square format. So notice as I type the numbers for the width, the height will also change accordingly. That's because this lock icon is now locking the numbers to this aspect ratio, which is one-to-one, which is the square format. If you want to enter the numbers separately, inches tab here to remove the lock. And now you can change the numbers separately. And now I can see the aspect ratio is five to four. So if you like this aspect ratio, you can lock this aspect ratio and enter some other number. And again to height will be updated automatically after you have input the dimensions, you will see the aspect ratio of two canvas update instantly. So this is landscape format. And if you want to change this to portrait or vertical orientation, you can tap here to switch between the two. It is possible to change the color of the canvas. To do so, just enable the paper option here and tab here to co-op the color wheel. So now you can choose any color you want. All you can tap here on the Settings to input a very specific color. And if you want to create a texture for the canvas, you can tap here and choose from the pre-program textures. There are many graphics and patterns you can choose from to create your paper textures. For all lessons, we will just use the white canvas. So let's select white and turn this off. Under rendering, we have the color mode and there are many options to choose from. So I'm just going to go with standard. If you're working with print, you may want to choose CMYK. I'm going to leave gamma correction disabled. And if you want to, you can record a time-lapse of your drawing process just by enabling this recording option here. So once you have the dimensions you want to work with, you can tap here to create. This blank canvas will be created. So this is the drawing User Interface, which I will talk more about in the next lesson. 5. Drawing Tools: Explore the drawing user interface. This interface that you see here may differ from what you have on your tablet because some parts of the user interface can be moved around. For example, here I have the toolbar. This is where I can select the brushes, the smudge tool eraser, or select the colors. This tuba can be moved around, just tap here and hold down the toolbar and you can move it to the left side with docket. Move it to the top two docket to the top. If you want the vertical toolbar, you move into the site so that it changes to the vertical to bar. At the top-left. That's the home button. And you can go back to the gallery pitch whip that. Here you can see one row of icons at the bottom. This is from the Samsung tablet that I'm using. At the top right, you have more tools, if I remember correctly, with the default user interface, there is one button here called tools, another button called layers. And this additional button, which is also Tools, was added with the settings which I will show you later on. This additional buttons here are actually shortcut tools that I have added. If you tap on the Tools button, you will see many tools. There are two pages of twos. This is page number one. And if you swipe at this top area here, you will see page number to each role has one for tools, and some of the tools are actually hidden of the pitch. Tools that are hidden will have this little arrow by the side. So this tells me there are more tools on the right side, photos that you use frequently. I recommend you create shortcuts for them on the screen so that you can select them and use them very quickly. To do so is easy. Just have one 2s to show all the tools available and tap and hold onto to that. You want to create a shortcut for, that's create a shortcut for the field bucket tool. Tap and hold, and drag it to the area that you want. So I'm going to put it here. So I highly recommend you go into the tools here to select audit tools that we are going to use later. So that would be filled bucket, save, Transform, lasso, magic one. Let's take a closer look at the toolbar and what you can do with it. So if you tap on the brush icon, you will see all the brushes that are available to you. You can create new brushes. You can select your favorite brushes and put them into a folder like what I've done here. You can create a folder of brushes. You can download brushes that you find online, or you can change the default brushes that are available here. So what I want you to do now is to go into the fields brush category. So under fuels category, select solid fuel and put this little hot. And select the other brush, which is called dab breeze, feel and put a little hot there as well. So once you have added a hot day will appear in the Favorites folder. So right now I have six brushes in the Favorites folder and this other brushes that we will be using for the drawing exercises later on. So what I want you to do now is to go into the Patterns folder and look for manga inker and cost incurred at those two brushes to the Favorites folder. Next, go into the sprayers folder or category and add flicks and water splitter to the favorites folder. And you can look around at other brushes that you may want to use as well and add them to the Favorites folder. After you have added the brushes to the Favorites folder, let's test them out. So inside a Favorites folder, choose the manga ink brush. After the brushes selector, you can write or draw something on. Can we change the color? Tap on this button, which is the second button from the bottom, and this will call up the color palette. So select a color from the color palette and just write or draw something. If you find allies too thin, you can tap here and this will increase the brush size. So now this is very thick. This last button here will adjust the opacity or transparency. So if you want to reduce the transparency of the color, just drag it down. And now this is at, for example, 20 per cent. And you can overlay this row times to get the hundred percent colour or to increase this to 100%, just dragging all the way up. You can use two fingers for the basic navigation gestures such as pen, x2 and rotate. And you can add more finger gesture shortcuts with the Settings here at the top right corner. Next we'll look at smash tool. So tap on this second icon here, which is a smart or blend to tap on it again. And you can choose the different brushes you may want to use for the smudge tool. I'm going to choose sprayers, a soft airbrush. And now if I drive over the tax, you can see it will are all smashed. Tax to undo, use two fingers to tap. And you can do this several times. An eraser is that the icon here? Type on it. Again, you can choose the different brushes to use, S, the eraser. So let's choose a pen Among got inker that I wanted to use. Ask that you raise her. So now we can erase this. If you find is too slow, you can increase the size of the eraser. All you can choose another eraser. I'm going to use the fields, solid field, which is a eraser that I like to use. And I can just draw over an area just to cut out everything. There is actually a color picker or eyedropper tool hidden in the toolbar. So let me show you how to use that. Let's select a brush. I select hunger incurred again, Let's choose a different color. Now the one which is blue, to use the eyedropper and just drag from this color button here onto the color you want, which is on the canvas. So now it's red. Let's switch to this green. Just drag again from the color button to the color you want. And now we can switch colors or pick colors very easily. This color wheel is based on hitch S V, which is hue, saturation and color. So hue is this circle here that allows you to select the color as is the saturation. So on the left side, we have the pastel light or dark colors. On the right side, we have to saturate the colors. And V represents value. So at the top we have the lighter values and at the bottom we have the darker values. You can choose a color, you can choose how saturated it is and how dark it is. Using this color wheel, you can choose from a preset color here and adjusts from the color wheel later on. If you need to input precise and values, you can tab here under Settings to input precise color that you need. If you find tedious to co-op, the color will repeat the lead. Just to change colors, you can crop the color, will use two fingers and drag this onto the canvas. And if you don't want this, you can just drag it to the center to where the cross is to remove it. Next, let's look at their layers palette, which you can find by tapping on the list button at the top right corner. The layers palette is small to make this bigger, just have on a first layer and swipe it out. Now you can see more layer tools. The name of the layer, the visibility icon, which is designed like an eyeball and you can tap on it to enable or disable the visibility of that layer. And you can also see their paper layer where you can change to cut off the paper or the texture of the paper. So when it comes to creating digital ad, we will work with layers. So we can create layers by tapping on this plus button here. And now we have Molly years. We can create Line Art on one layer, maybe at colors on another layer, maybe draw something else on another layer. And this will allow us to work more productively. I'll show you how later on. This button here is the adjustment controls where we can change how the layer or the colors look. This folder button will collect the layers into a folder to help us organize the layers. This layer, but then will control the rendering, which is also going to control how your artwork will look. Will have more hands-on with the tools and layers palette with the upcoming drawing exercises. In this lesson, I just want to show you that this 2s exists and where you can find them. In the next lesson, we will look at useful Settings that can make your drawing workflow more productive. 6. Useful Settings: Welcome back. In this lesson we will look at the settings that can help us improve our workflow when drawing. So tap on the three dots button at the corner to open the options panel and tap on Settings. So this is the Settings page. You can choose to sign into your Infinite Painter account if you want to, but there are no advantages to doing so. So my User Interface is black. And if you want to, you can change the color. I'll just go with black. And this is where you can select different color wheels. You can choose your preferred color wheel from the six provided. The one that I prefer is this color wheel with the square insight because there is an actual will and this square is easier to use when it comes to picking colors, because you can think of the corners as zero or 100 per cent of the hue saturation or brightness. Next, you can change the scale of the texts if you want to. For height navigation been able this, this will hide the navigation bar at the bottom, which will vary depending on which. You can change the size of the EU and the tax with this slider here. Next area is this height navigation option. So when you enable this, this will hide the navigation bar at the bottom, which will vary depending on which Tablet you are using. This split tools setup is important. I want you to enable this with a split tools enable, you will have two buttons here instead of one button. So if there is just one button, you will have to swipe left and right for the two pages of tools. Now with the two buttons, each button represents one pitch of tools. There are too many Settings for me to go through one-by-one, so I'll just show you the ones that we'll be using. And workflow will take canvas enabled that because we will want to rotate the canvas while we are drawing. You can leave rendering options as default. Now, under saving, this is where you can choose how many versions you want to save. So let's say if you save maybe ten versions in the home gallery, you can choose to restore which version you prefer. So tomorrow version is you have the better and how many version is you can save will depend on how much RAM you have. We feel tablet under gestures, these other finger gestures. So I have set double-tap to fit into canvas on the screen. And for a long press, which is tap and hold on the screen, we will have to eyedropper. If you prefer to see the cursor while you move your pen on the screen, you can choose to enable the Draw cursor. For Shape Detection. This will automatically change your lines into a certain shape if the software, things that you're trying to draw a shape. For example, if you're trying to draw a circle and you want it to be an actual circle. Just enable that option here. This is where it can change the pressure sensitivity for the pressure velocity and 2D. And for volume keys, you can actually use your volume keys on your tablet as shortcuts as well. I don't do that, so I'll just leave that as not being. If you want to disable back, which can be quite useful, you can enable here. What this does is when you swipe from the left and right off the Android Tablet, sometimes they will go back to the previous page or to the previous app. And if you don't want that to happen, enabled this. And under stylus, this is where you will need to choose to move the canvas with your finger because otherwise your finger will actually draw on Canvas. So will this enabled? Now we can use your finger to move to Canvas. Folder stylus, Front button. I have set it to Eyedropper because I'm using a pen with a set button here. If there is, if you're using a pen with another button or with a back button, you can set a shortcut here as well from the options panel, which you can assess from the three dots button, you can choose to create a new file, Burn a file, save your file, import images, adjust the time lapse recording settings if you do not do so while you are setting up your Canvas, you can export your file for sharing online. You get checkout, the artworks created by the community and you can check our other tutorials right now that I have introduced you to the User Interface and Settings. In the next lesson, we will draw 7. Let's Draw a Tree with Shapes: For our first drawing exercise, we will draw some things simple. We will draw a coconut tree. Since we all know how a coconut tree looks, we don't even need to use a reference. So let's go to the home gallery and create a blank canvas and select from the presets, the Instagram canvas. Because I feel like drawing on a square canvas and scroll down to the bottom to disable time-lapse because we will not record a time-lapse this tab here to create eight. So first thing to do for me when it comes to drawing is to create a few layers. If you cannot see the layers palette tab here on the layers. But if this is too small, just swipe this out. So tap on the Plus button to create a few layers and tap here in the middle to rename the layer. This will be the tree trunk layer. Next, select a brush. I'm going to select solid fuel brush. If you cannot find this brush, it's actually under the feels category, which I have saved into the Favorites folder. Next, let's select a color and I'm going to select this brown color for the tree trunk. Let's Draw the tree trunk from the bottom left to the top right. We're going to have the top smaller and the bottom thicker. Hair K. This looks fine. So this is the solid fuel brush, which you can use to draw Shapes very easily. If you want to undo, use two fingers to do. Alright, so these colour seems to be too dark for me. So I don't think this tree trunk lighter to do that. Just tap on the tree trunk layer and tap here to create an Alpha Lock. So now select the color that is lighter by selecting the color dyes on the lambda site of the color will. And draw over this area here. So now we have a lighter tree trunk. Let's see, the light source is coming from the left side. So that's something darker on the shadow side. So open up the color wheel again and select a color that is on the right side. And we can draw half of the tree trunk in shade. And I'm going to open up the color wheel again to select an even darker color for the darker shadows. And you can also choose to add textures if you want to, under a tree trunk. Now for the textures, I'm going to create all credit textures on a separate layer, which I will call the texture layer. That's quite textures. Okay? So if you draw the textures now you may notice the textures. We will go out of the tree trunk, which is what we do not want. We wanna do is to create a selection based on this tree trunk so that we can draw with thin a Tree trying to do that, select the tree trunk layer, tap on it again on this Select button, and a selection will be created for you. Now under textures layer, when you draw, all the lines will be within we would drawing with thin selection and my lines are too thick. So let me just draw the thinner lines. This looks good. Now the line should be curved because we are looking at this tree from the bottom. So let's make the lines curve. Okay? As the lines curve up, the lines will be thinner and thinner. So we can see some parallel lines, which means we are still in the selection mode. We're still drawing within the selection. So to get out of this mode, just tap here on this button and we're back to the canvas because we have the textures on its own layer. If you do not like the textures, you can turn off the visibility of the textures or you can just delete this layer. Remember the double-tap shortcut we have from the Settings, you can double-tap on a canvas to zoom in, to have the canvas feed that tablet size, right? Let's Draw the leaves. Let's rename the layer beneath the tree trunk leaves. And use the same feel. Brush, solid fuel, brush, select the green color. I'm going to use this green and draw the leaves. So as you are drawing the leaves, try and figure out how the field brush Works because this view brush is actually quite convenient when it comes to drawing and also feeling shapes. Next, we may want to add some color variation to the leaves. So once again, I'm going to create an alpha mask, tap on the leaves layer, tap on the Alpha Lock button and select the color that is closer to yellow and just draw paint onto the leaves. Yeah. Okay. It is looks good. I'm going to paint yellow onto the leaves that outer edges. If you make any mistakes, you can always use two fingers to undo. Let's just add some yellow, that's enough. And next I want to add the darker greens. Because when we look at a Tree, the leaves on the underside is usually quite dark, sometimes lack. So I'm going to select this green using the eyedropper. If you have customized the eyedropper to the side button, you can tap on the site button to co-op the eyedropper and now that color is selected. The other way to use the eyedropper is to tap here, tap and hold, and drag it to the color that you want. Now the color is selected. So using this color, I'm going to select a darker version of this color. I'm going to select the color that is tau here. And alpha lock is due on. So when we draw or paint, we will be painting within shapes, within the pixels that are already on the canvas. So I'm gonna make this area a bit darker. Now when we are drawing, we should always think of contrast. How we can create contrast with values, light versus dark. Dark versus light. We can create contrast with colors. Are colors versus saturated colors. We can create contrast with details. More details versus less details. So what is Pat? I actually want to draw the leaves outside onto this white area, but I cannot do so because the alpha lock is due to Draw Outside. Let me just tell on this layer and unlock the Alpha Lock. So now I can draw outside here. So once in awhile you should zoom out and have a look at your drawing and see how it actually looks. Oops, I actually drew on the wrong layer. Always make sure you are drawing on the correct layer. Okay, This looks great. I like this. I like how this looks. Next, let's draw some coconuts. Coconuts will be on top of the tree trunk. I'm going to place the coconuts here. I'm going to draw it at the top layer. Let me just rename this layer routes. So the light source is coming from the left side. So let me just choose a color, Florida coconut. I'm going to choose maybe this light brown color. Let's see how it looks. Make sure you are 21 to current layer. Okay, this looks alright. That's have one here, one here, and maybe one here, maybe another one here. Okay? So this style is very stylized. I wanted to YouTube draw this because we don't have to worry too much about accuracy. I just want you to get familiar with the 2's data available to us. So now that we have the coconuts, Let's Draw the shadow side. So let's select the color palette. Select a darker version of this coconut color and just draw. Now, if you draw outside and you don't want to Draw site, you can always create an alpha lock so that you can draw inside like this. Okay? So this Coconuts are actually under the leaves. So much of the coconut is gonna be like just darker. Okay. And we will go back to the tree trunk layer to color this part, this part darker. And I want to use this color. So I'll just call up the eyedropper again just to color this part. And I also wanted to add some little details here. Okay, so this looks pretty good to me so far. Next we will add the sky. To add a sky, we will use the layer at the bottom because the sky has to be beneath everything that we have just drawn. So select that layer and select First page of the tools. Choose the few Gradient tool and choose the linear option here. And drag the pen from the bottom left to the top right to create that gradient. Now, if this is the color that you'd like, great, but chances are heart is not a color that you like. So tap here on the color, but then, and this color palette will appear. I'm going to choose me be a lighter color. At the bottom. We will see how it looks. And taps here, add a color button at the top or at the anode, a slider, and choose a different toddler. See whether or not you liked the color. So I'm going to maybe have this guy lighter and autumn here, darker. Yeah, maybe that's have this guy right there so as to create contrast. And for this blue, I think this blue looks nicer. Okay, Let's tap here on the tick to apply the gradient. Alright, so this looks nice to me. If you don't like this guy. Again, you can either delete this layer or just disable the visibility of this layer. One good thing about working with layers is if you don't like what you see, you can turn off the visibility of that layer and try a different variation. So I'm going to try another variation for this guy. I'm going to create a new layer here for the seconds guy. I'm going to select a blue. Maybe it is blue here. And I'm going to select a solid fuel to again. So let me just zoom down and I'm going to draw over the hello area. And I can see the contrast is not that great. So let me just make the top part and lighter. Okay, this looks good on this can be this can be Clouds. Let me make this even lighter. Yeah, this can definitely be clouds. So when you're drawing, always think of contrast. Remember the double-tap shortcut that we sat in a Settings earlier. You can use that to scale or zoom into Your Art. So let's look at the two variations. I do prefer the second variation, so I'm going to keep this. The last thing I want you to do is to select them manga income brush, select a different color on his case, I'm going to select a darker blue and just write the date. So today's the aid of August 2023. And before you close this file, I'll save this file. Tap on the plus button again to create an empty layer. This is the protective layers. So in the future, if you opened a file and you accidentally add some lines on a file, that protective layer is there. So you can just delete that protective layer and Your Art will be back to the original state, right? Just to recap, this drawing was drawn with the solid fuel brush. So we were just drawing with shapes and will learn how to select colors, will learn how to apply the gradient for the sky. We create a multiple layers and we know how the layers work. We also learn how to use the alpha mask to draw with thin the shapes. In the next lesson, we will learn how to create Art with Line Art and learn more techniques 8. Let's Draw Animals with Line Art: Welcome back. Our next project will require more time to calm late because I have many techniques and workflow is to show you. So to make this project more manageable, I have split lessons into shorter lessons so that you can follow along easily. So let's see what we will learn. We will learn how to create the Line Art for this Chair. We will add colors below the Line Art. We will then add shadows to make this look more dimensional. And if we do don't like the colors, we will create a variation for the Chair and we will be drawing some, and in moles. We will draw it Animals and we will create a pattern using the Animals and then we will import that pattern onto the cushion, the fabric of this Chair. So this will be our completed project. Let's create our new file. Because we want to create a pattern. We will tap here to create that. Let's tap on presets to choose a preset, I'm going to choose Instagram, which will help me create this square format canvas and disable time-lapse because we will not be recording any time elapsed for this artwork. So let's tap create it to create this file. So you can see two squares on the canvas. We will be drawing on the smaller square. And the next thing I want to do is to create a few layers. Now, if your layer palette is not visible under layers button here to show it. And Tim has swipe it out so that this is beaker. We will want to add a few more layers. So just have on the Plus button there. And that's import some reference photos or images to help us draw with reference. Tap on the Options button at the top right corner, and choose to import. And you can choose to import from a gallery, from your tablets camera off from your folders. I'm going to choose to import from the gallery, look for the images that you have downloaded. So for this artwork, I will import pictures for this zebra Elephant, Angie rough. So I'm going to import the zebra first, import it as the reference instead of a year. And with the reference on the canvas, you can use two fingers to move it around. You can also rotate this if you want to and resize it. I'm going to place this here. So do the same for the other two images as well. So I've already imported the three images and I'm going to have to go on top so that I can see that picture more clearly. Now the difference between importing this images as a reference versus layer is with this references, you can move around. Your canvas will take pen and X2, and your references will not be affected. If you import these images as a layer, this images will scale, rotate depending on the canvas. Gestures because they are actually your artwork. But right now if they are references, alright, Let's Draw, select one of the layers on the right side. Choose a brush. I'm gonna choose manga inker, and I'm going to choose a color from the color picker. I'm going to choose lack. Let's Draw Maybe the elephant first. Don't worry too much about drawing exactly what you will see. You can draw our cartoony version of this elephant. What I want you to take away from this lesson is to get familiar with the 2s. Get familiar with switching between the 2s. Okay, So let's see how big our brush is. This is kinda thick. So maybe I wrote one to reduce the brush size by tapping and dragging here. Alright, so that's draw. If you need to undo, just use two fingers, tap on the canvas to undo this. To draw more confidently, you can draw faster so they allies are smoother. Okay, So we have the legs, one leg after another link here. And we have to hind leg and other link here. Oops, dislike is too long. So to erased, select the eraser and choose which eraser you want, and erase the longer leg. So you can use the eraser to fix mistakes and switch back to the brush to continue drawing. So now we have an elephant and we will want to draw the task Here in front as well. So I'm going to give this elephant a big task. This looks fine. And I'm going to switch to the eraser to erase this part here. And here. Try to erase properly so that you drawing looks good. I always shot here slightly. Okay, Let's see what we have. I think it looks fine. Let me erase this part as well. So just zoom out and have a look at your elephant and see whether or not you need to do any corrections. You raise any lines that overshoot when you zoom out. And now you can see the elephant drawing being repeated elsewhere. So this is the pattern that you will create it. And I can see that I may need to erase the leg here to redraw this leg so that lake is actually on the row. So let me just redraw this. Okay. Too big, too big. Let me just undo this and redraw it. Okay, Now it looks slightly better. Next thing I wanna do is to rename the layers. I'm going to tap on this layer three, tap on the new model layer and rename this layer. I'm gonna call this Line Art. If you are working on a very complex artwork, it's good to rename your layers so that you can know which layer you're working from. And it's just better for organizing layers. Now I'm going to colour this elephant. I'm going to select the layer beneath a Line, Art. Tap on debt. Renamed is the your color. And tap away. Now to add color beneath the Line Art, select the color layer which is beneath. And Line Art. Always make sure you have the correct layer selected before you draw or colour. So I'm going to select a brush. Nope, I'm going to use the fill bucket to fill this drawing. And I'm going to fill this Line Art with this gray color. Okay? So go into the tools palette and select Fill. If you have not track the field shortcut here. So I'm going to select bill and I'm going to tap here to fill this drawing. Okay, so what happened here? So what happened here is the field bucket actually sample the color layer which has nothing on it. So if feel the color onto the whole liter, what you want to do is to have the fill bucket sample or the layers. So another options here, the sample all layers. You have to tap on this button here which shows one layer right now. So tap on it and now you can see another layer being added. Once you have sample all layers selected, I want you to undo using two fingers to tap on the screen. And now you can use the fill bucket to, to tap within this shape to fill this with color. Once again, make sure that you are filling on to the color layer. And once you're done, you can tap here on that check box. Now you for some reason when you are filling the elephant with colour and how Canvas is still gray, equal mean you did not close up your lines for some all. Let me just draw something on this lineup layer. So I have this circle here which is not close up, and I have another circle which is closed up. So now when I tried to feel the color for this, let me select a simple all the years selection. So now if I fill this, you can see the color is filled. Insight is enclosed shape. Lady, if I tap here to fill it, you can see that the color actually leaks out from GAP. So when you're creating your Line, Art, makes sure to close up the gaps, do not leave any open gaps for the colors to leak out. Once you are done with your field bucket, just tap on Check button, button here. The next Animals that I want to draw is the Giraph, which is now hidden behind elephants. So let me use two fingers to move the reference on top of the elephant. And I'm going to choose the manga inker brush again. And I will choose this route handler for orange color for the Giraph. Let me test a line. Okay, this looks good. Let me select a Line Art layer to make sure that I'm drawing on the Line Art layer. And I'm going to Draw cartoony version of this Giraph as well. Hey, we need a NAK to be much longer. So this is not that long. That's draw a longer neck. As zoom-out. Have a look. Okay. Let's make sure that leaks are thicker at the bottom here. Here, here, and we have another loop here. Okay? Once again, make sure you close up all your gaps. Make sure you're Line Art does not have any gaps. Okay, Let's have to tell at a bag. Now, this looks alright. And now we can add the patterns on the giraffe. So remember, this pattern is going on top of the fabric on the cushion. So we will want to draw the pattern here on the giraffe and bigger sizes so that when this is scaled down later on we can still see the pattern K. So this is that you rough with the pet, then I think it looks nice. 9. Let's Draw Animals with Shapes: What I think I shall put one eye on the elephant as well because it looks without the eye. So make sure you select the Line Art layer and draw the eye on the Line Art layer. And I will be on top here, just above the task, right? So now this elephant looks so nice. Next we will draw the zebra, and I'm going to keep the body of the zebra young white. It's difficult to draw white on a white canvas. So to help me, I'm going to tap on this paper layer here, on this little symbol here, and change the color of the paper to something else. It can be any color white. So tap away and now go to the color layer because we wanted to draw the shape of the zebra. So select the color layer. Select maybe a brush that's used manga inker again, which is very useful. Select white as your colour. So this is the colour we have and Let's Draw the zebra. Me just resize that. And I'm going to draw the head here. With the years. The head. Body hopes. Does this look good? Okay, We have two legs. We have another link here, the system body. The body is curved slightly, okay. We have to lag behind. Another. Notice here. If their legs are not obvious, you may want to make them more obvious. So I'm going to be the delete this link that is supposed to be behind you raised that way and draw the ADA ligament, this so that it's very clear that this giraffe zebra has four legs and you may want to add the tail as well. Okay, so now I can use the, let me erase this part here first. So now I can use the field. Get again to fill this shape. Make sure there are no open gaps and tap inside. So now you can see this problem that I have here, because CDA feel bucket did not fill up the ship complete. So what we wanna do is to use another way to color this in an a method. So go into the, let me tap on this, check a set button first. So select the magic one tool, which you can find here. If you have it here, I'll go into the 2s pitch and look for magic one. It's on page two in the first row. So once you select magic one, you will see it is parallel diagonal stripe appear. So right now nothing is selected. I want you to tap in this area here. So once you time in this area, you can see the little matching ends up here. I want you to tap here to add selection. Once you select that, you can add more selections. So now I can tap here for the feed or the link behind here as well. So I've added this to selection, to the mean selection. The next thing I'm gonna do is to expand a selection. So that selection actually goes over the white lines. So look at the options below, and there are many options and look for Ben. And there's this slider, that book here. So just drag a slider so that selection expense slightly into the white area. Once you're done, just hit the step button to take their and press again. So now you have this selection. Next, we can use the fill brush, the solid fuel brush, and draw over this area here like this. And once you're done, tap here on the wrist sub-goal to exit out from the selection. Now go and have a look at your zebra. See if you have colored everything correctly. If not, you can use the brush to add colors back Okay, Obviously the other way to color this is to just use the brush to do this. Let me show you. Select a manga incur. Just do this. Colour like this. If the area is small, you can use these coloring method, but if the area is big, you may want to use the Selection matter. So again, there are just many ways you can go about it comes to coloring K. So now I'm using the manga incur to touch up this drawing, using the eraser to erase some shapes. And I want to have the hair of the Zebra as well. So I'm going to use manga inker again to draw the shape of the hair. Okay. So next I want to draw the stripes. So how do I Draw the stripes are, Let's select manga inker again. Select black. Now, if you are going to draw the stripes like this, Your strikes me. Go out of the zebra, which is what we do not want. So why do we want to do is to draw within this shape. And to do that you can tap on the color layer, just tap on it. And there will be, it is option here to lock this layer. And this is actually the Alpha Lock feature. So tap on that lock button. And now you have created an alpha lock. So what this does now is this allows you to draw within the talent areas, within the pixels that you have already painted onto the canvas. So now we can draw the black lines, make sure you are using the correct brush. So as you draw it and see if you draw out on the zebra, the lines we will not go out of the zebra, which is very nice. So now you can add your pattern. This is too close. So this is to close-ups. Yeah, correct. Let me just erase. Let me just paint with the wider story. Remember the paper color is this color right now. So if you raise the white, you are going to see that paper color, which is this color. I'm going to paint back the white. This part here. For the hat here. Let's have the parallel lines. Make sure you put in the eye at a correct location which is here. I think that is too big, but it's okay because this is a cartoony version of the zebra. So erase all the stray marks that you may see occasionally. All right, so now we have G, sorry, the zebra. I think it looks alright. It looks fine. Maybe I need to stretch it slightly because mine is kinda. So now I'm going to make my zebra wider. To do that, I'm going to use the lasso tool to make a selection around a zebra and then make it wider. So go into page two of the tools and look for the lasso tool. Make sure you select a zebra that's on the color layer. If there is a selection which is a really creative for you for some reason, you can tap here to clear that selection so that you can draw your on selection. Now that you have this selection that you like, tap here on the tick to receptors and go into pitch two of the tools again to look for the Transform to the basic Transform to. Once you have selected basic transform, this grid will appear and you can use this to adjust your drawing, to transform your drawing. So I'm gonna make this zebra wider. Okay? Yeah, so let's make this zebra wider. This, okay, so now I think it looks fine when it's wider. So let's zoom down and have a look at what we have. Okay, I will need to colour the task. So let's select brush I need and the color that I need and colour the task here. Make it white. It's important to colour this wide. If you move down to the Jira, you can see through the Line Art onto the paper which is currently it is colour. So let's colour the body white. You can either use the fill bucket tool or you can use the Selection tool, make a selection for the space between the shapes and fill into colour with the solid field. Or in this case, I'm just going to select A solid fuel brush, select white and just color this hopes. Make sure you are working on the correct layer. Make sure you're coloring on layered beneath the Line Art. So with this feel brush, I can feel this Giraph with white as well. So there are many ways for to achieve the same results. So notice that I have actually colour it out of the lines. Yeah. So notice I call it out of the lines here, doesn't matter. Select the eraser to, I'm going to select a solid fuel to erase this part here like this, I will want to make the zeros molar because the elephant should be bigger. Or I can make the elephant eager. Who make the elephant bigger, will use the Lasso tool to select the elephant. You should see parallel lines. If you don't see the parallel lines after you enter the selection tool tab here to clear the selection. So use the lasso tool, make sure it's lasso deselect that. Select the elephant. If you'd like to selection a septa selection. And now I want to transform this sort. I can skew it. So tap on the Transform, the basic Transform Tool. And you will also want to select Line Art. So right now I'm selecting the color. I want to select a Line Art as well. So tap on everything you want to transform and scale this up. Oops, why are there is not moving. So then it looks like a glitch to me. So I'm going to go out to the home gallery and come in again. And I'm gonna do the same thing again. Select this other fern, a septa selection, select a basic Transform Tool. And I can see the selection is just over the elephant. And I wonder Transform to apply on both the Line Art and the color layer. So I need to select a Line Art and the color layer. And now I can scale this up. You may want to choose basic instead of this thought. Yeah. So once you have basic selected, it will still this uniformly and you can move this around as well. So I'm going to move this elephant down to this area here where it has most bees. And yeah, so you can move this Giraph up. I'm going to move this Giraph up. I'm going to use the selection tool. Select this giraffe and set the selection. Select basic Transform to move this up. Oops, I did not select the Line Art. Make sure to select the Line Art and the color. And move this up. I may move down to have a look. I think this looks fine, although the transform box is a bit weird due to a glitch. I think this looks fine. Yeah, this looks fine. Next I want to add some greenery, some bush on the ground. So I'm going to select a monk or inker brush again, select a green, maybe a darker green, and just draw us. Just draw some bush on the ground. If you don't like the Line Art, you can switch to the solid fill and maybe draw this and switch to a different color, maybe a lighter color. Yeah. This looks fine. Let me erase the bottom part here. Correct. So now we have little bush here. This drawing is now complete. Now you may want to move the animals around, maybe have them face different direction. I think the zebra will look better if it faces the face into the pitch, into the canvas. So what I wanna do is to the zebra is on this color layer, I want to use the selection tool to select this zebra, a subnet selection. Select the basic Transform tool and tap here, this flip button here to flip it to the other side and maybe move it inside here. Alright, so that's a step. And lastly, let's make the paper white gain. Okay? You may not see the shape of the zebra right now. But later on when we import this onto the fabric, onto the cushion, you will see why this works. And now let's tap on the reference button here to hide the reference for those so that we can zoom out and have a look at our repeated pattern. Now, if you feel like there is not a lot of space between the Animals, you can, again go and select a Animals and skilled and down so that there is more breathing space between the Animals, which I am actually going to do. So I've just used a selection and Transform to, to make up the Animals smaller and also positioned further apart from one another. And I have also moved Bushehr down to the level that the elephant is walking on. By the way, Infinite Painter will save your artwork automatically, but you can also choose to save your artwork manually. And whenever you tap on the Save button here or from the options panel, you will create a version of that file that you can refer back or restore to. You are at home gallery 10. Let's Draw a Chair: Welcome back. In this lesson we are going to Draw a Chair and import is repeat a pattern onto the chair. So let's create a new blank canvas. Let's create a new file. I'm going to use the same square format again. And I'm going to create a few years and rename this layer in the middle line up. Next, I want to import the reference photo of the Chair type two options panel here and import from the category. That's import that file as a reference and position it here on the left side. Let's Draw what to select monger inker brush. Or maybe I prefer to cause inker brush, which has texture lines, and this is how thick that brush is. Let me just increase the brush size. I think this looks fine. Let's Draw the cushion first. Let's Draw the cushion and make it three dimensionally. If you can. Just erase the ops, this is the airbrush eraser. So let me select the eraser and select the brush for the eraser, I'm going to use the solid fuel eraser. We have a little cushion here. And we have another question here. Okay, Looks good. I will not be drawing that orange cushion at a top. Okay. Next I wanted to draw the wooden frame of the Chair. For it wouldn't frame. I'm going to draw on the layer above to Line Art. So select that layer first, select your brush and draw the wooden frame. We have the handle that comes out here, the mid section here. Hopes. Okay, and we have leaks somewhere. There is a wooden pot here. So that looks will actually end row here due to the perspective. So i'm, I'm going to start by drawing here and joint to the arms there. Okay. I find easier to do it this way. Okay. So the reason why I have the arms or the wooden part on top of the cushion, is that if I need to erase the cushion, I can erase easily. I can select a cushion layer and erase this very easily. So sometimes when you are drawing, you may want to think in advance on how you meet one to the sequence of how to create Your Art that can actually help you save some time. As for this part here, this is actually on the same layer, so we will have to erase this carefully. Okay, it's fine. It looks fine so far. Let's go back to drawing the frame. Have this part that goes all the way it would, will maybe N here. This is the wooden part. And we have to Lake step here. Let me draw the legs down like this. Okay. Maybe give them some thickness. And again, I can erase the back. Or you can choose to Draw the Line Art. Order Line Art on the same layer is really up to you. Let's Draw the, the arm which will end here. Let me just rotate this. Draw it. This. Let's have more thickness to the arm here. And this will go down at the same angle. Okay. Looks fine. And we have the lakes here. This should be at an angle. I just noticed that in the photo on this front part here is actually flush to the to the lakes. But for my chair you can see that my leg is actually behind a bottom piece. So let's just put with that. Okay. This looks, or write to me, this looks fine. I just need to maybe much does to layers now. Select the layer on top, my name, and tap and select much. So this will match with Line Art. And now I'm going to use the basic Transform Tool to move this Chair in to, to center on you until you can scale this slightly. So let's tap a step. I mean, need to tuck shop this pot here at the back because right now it's not obvious that this shape, how to ship actually looks. I think this looks fine. Next we'll add colors to the chair. So select the layer beneath, renamed that layer color. So by now, the workflow should be familiar to you because we have drawn many animals here. So let's select, Let's fill this with the field bucket to. So I'm going to use the fill bucket. Where is it? Okay, it's here. Feel bucket to remember to select or sample all the layers. And you can choose a color for the field bucket here I'm going to choose is orange color for the wooden frame and just tapping into the area. And we can go into check to see whether the colors have been filled properly. Because this is a texture brush, we need to make sure the colors actually few into the iris here. So you can see a little bit of white here. That's fine. But if the field bucket is not able to fill into the white areas, you may have to use the selection to select areas you want to colour, expand the selection and fill it with a few brush instead of the fill bucket. Okay, So I managed to colour this really quickly. Let's accept this. And I wanted to select this brush again to color this part here you can see it's not colored properly. Next, R1 to select another later. And this layer will be called the cushion the year because this is the cushion colour the year. Okay. Same thing. I'm going to use the fill bucket to maybe fill this with gray. Select sample. All layers, change the color to gray and just tap on the cushion to fill the colors. Okay. So I want to add some shadows to this drawing because now it looks kinda flat. So for the shadows, I'm going to select a layer on top of the Line Art and renamed the year shadows. And now I select maybe are darker gray. Should I use to fill all shall use to fill brush. I'm deciding whether to use the fill bucket or the field brush to add my shadows. I shall use the fill brush. Let's select the brush here, so that's solid fill. And select dark gray color. I'm going to select maybe 40 per cent of 50% gray. And I'm going to tap on the shadows layer here. Set the blending mode to Multiply and tap away. Once you have selected the multiply blend mode that a little weren't multiply will be visible here on this shadow layer. So now when I use the fill brush to draw on this layer, the color will be multiplied on top of the other colors. So I can actually use this to add shadows. Okay? This part here, Let's say that light source is coming from this from the right side. So I need to make sure we have the shadows on the left side of the Chair You may want to use the fill bucket or instead, because I just realized that this is not as far as compared to coloring with the field brush is not as fast compared to coloring with the fill bucket to. But I'm just showing you different ways of working. Hey, we have shadows here as well. And we have shadows here as well. And also on this side, the left-hand side of the here. Okay? If the shadows are not obvious, in this case you can see the shadows are actually kinda pale. Contrast is not there. Why do you can do is tap here on the layer. Select Alpha Lock. Select a darker shadow and draw over the chair. What alpha lock stars is, you are just went over as this thing pixels. So you can use these to adjust how much shadow, how dark the shadow. It's. Okay. I think this looks good enough. And I may also want to add some shadows on the ground. So that's used solid fuel again to add shadows on the ground. Ops. Notice nothing happens. That's because we need to unlock the Alpha Lock. So now we can draw the shadows on the grill or you can switch to a different color. May be, I'll use a pale version of this chair's colour. Maybe this will make the shadow look more interesting. And that's erase this part here. Oops. We need to add the shadow back here. Let's use gray again. This is not the correct color of the shadow earlier. So what we need to do is to remove the amine Chair colour, use this eyedropper and select a same color again to colour back the shadow that we accidentally removed earlier. And now we can add the armchair collared back. The nice thing about working with layers is let's say you want to change the color of the cushion. You can do so very easily. Just select cushion layer, select Alpha Lock, and choose a different color you can choose. Let's choose maybe this very bright color. Select the solid fuel brush and just draw over it. And when you draw over it, you will notice that the shadows have been retained because the shadows are actually on a separate layer and the shadow is multiplied onto the cushion colors. So you can actually change the cushion to which app or colour you prefer and you will retain the shadow. You can do the same for the arms as well, because the arms are on their own layer. That's hide the reference because we don't need that anymore or you can use the trash button here to trash it. Let me just hide 11. Using Patterns and the Transform Tool: Okay, so now let's import the pattern that we have created onto the cushion. So open your pattern file tab here on the Options panel and tap or select Export. I'm going to rename this fall as any moles. I'm going to choose the format PNG because this format allows me to save the background as a transparent background. And I'm going to disable this background here. If you choose to save this with a background, the background will be white. But I don't want a white background. I wonder transparent background. So let me disable that and Export this into your gallery. If you go into the folder that you have saved, fall to, you can see this file will look like this. And the background is black because it's supposed to be transparent and now it's white. Let's go back to the drawing with the chair to create a new empty layer and select that layer and select the fill tool, select the peptide that I have created earlier. And that's create the pattern again. This time I'm going to have like way more Animals. Okay? Once you're done, tap on the tick here to apply the pattern. So now if you, Let's tab on to take care to apply the pattern as well. So now you can see this repeated pattern which you can actually skill by selecting the Transform basic tool. So now I can scale this pattern here. Now that the pattern has been important and Resize, we need to apply onto the cushion. And we may need to do this for backup in case things go wrong. So let's duplicate this as a backup and high the Backup. Remember earlier I saved artworks with transparent background. That is why we can see that transparent transparency here. So if I change the color of the cushion, if I select here to change the color up the cushion. Now you can see I have to transparent background. I can change the color of cushion very easily. Let me just undo that. So now I want to select the layer with a pattern, select the Transform tool, and change the Transform tool from basic to this thought. So that I can distort this transformation to make sure that the perspective matches the perspective of the Chair. And once you liked transformation that you see tap on the tick here to apply. Okay? So we need to erase or hide the animals that are outside of the cushion. To do that is very simple. We will use a Layer Mask. To use a Layer Mask, we will select the cushion layer, tap on a cushion layers name and tap here to select a selection will be created based on that layer, that cushion layer. And now on the layer with the pattern, tap on the name and tap on the Mask button. Once you select that mask button, the pattern will be pasted into that mosque. Or should I say, the Animals outside will be masked away. Now, if you want to make adjustments to it, Patterns odd, you can still do so. Just select the layer with the pattern Art, which I'm going to rename right now to bet on Kushan. Okay? So once you have selected that layer, you can use Transform Tool to move this around. And notice if you move it around, it doesn't look right. So let me just undo hopes, do and do. Okay. Let me apply here. So what you need to do is to tap on the layer mask here and tap here to unlink. So once you unlink, you can select the pattern again. I've to Transform Tool and you can move the Art around. You can also skew the Art. If you want to. Let me use the basic. Yeah. You can also skew the artwork, the pattern that you want to rotate it to whichever angle you like and just reposition this onto the chair. And once you like this, just have one does seven button. I notice there is something weird happening here. Oh, okay. This is actually the elephants, but One thing to note is the perspective for this part here is not exactly correct. So what you have to do is duplicate the Backup pattern layer again. Let me just duplicate it. And you have to mask out this area here. Select the mask. And I'm going to use the brush. And I'm going to use black. Yeah. So once you use black on the mask layer, you will mask out all those Animals. I'm going to mask out this part here because this is the perspective that is wrong. The perspective here is correct because this perspective matches just perspective. Yeah, so let me just must this out. And now let's make the pattern for this cushion visible. Just tap here on the eyeball. And if you find is too complicated, you may want to hide the other textures. So let's transform this again, make sure you select the correct layer and tap on this thought. And now, oops, now you can distort this to the correct perspective. Okay, just try and get that perspective right. If you need to move it around, change the Transform Tool to basic, and move it around. Okay, I think this looks good. So let's apply. Once again, we need to create a mask for this. So we'll use the cushion layer again. Select cushion layer, tap on the Select button and tap on this pattern layer, tap on it again and select Mask. And now if this mask, we will remove the textures here. So I'm going to use solid feel black to remove this part because we already have the pattern for this year, which we, which we will enable by tapping here. We need to erase this part as well. Okay, so let's have a look. Now. This looks alright, uh, to me. The perspective of the Animals on a cushion looks alright to me. After I zoom out to look at a Chair, I'm not sure if Greg, colour for the fabric. Actually, it looks nice. So I'm going to create a variation for the fabric color. I'm going to duplicate this gray fabric layer, duplicate, hide the original fabric layer, the cushion layer. And on the new cushion layer, I'm going to tap here to create an Alpha Lock. So now I want to use the solid fuel brush. I'm gonna use this shadow colors here and maybe lightened shadow color. Today's color. And I'm going to draw over the fabric. So I think this works. All looks bad. Anyway. Now I have two versions to compare. So you can create as many variation for the fabric as you like. Next, I want to tap on the new cushion layer to rename this cushion as quiet cushion H. And for the other layer I'm going to call it, I'm going to rename it again and call it cushion gray. When you look at your layers palette now you can see many layers. To help organize your layers. You can create a group or layer folder for all these layers. And in this case I have the Line Art and colors and shadows for a Chair. So it makes sense to group all this together. There are two ways to group the layers. The first way is to use this pinching action to pinch the layers together. Now the layers are in this group, group one, and you can rename the group later. The second way is to select one of the layers and tap here to add group. The second layer to creating layer groups is more suitable if you have layers all over the place. So now that I have this layer selected, I'm going to tap here to add group. I'm going to add Line Art into the group. Just drag and drop that layer into the group and arrange the layer accordingly because somebody who has have to be above, as some have to be below, the sequence is actually important. So take your time to arrange the layers after DR. insight group. And now you can make this long list of layers shorter by collapsing this folder. Just tap here on the Folder icon and this will collapse into the group. Remember to rename the group, I'm going to call it is Chair. Okay, and the last thing I want to do is to tap on the top most layer to create an empty layer to protect my artwork. And that's it for this project. 12. Crop, Resize and Export Your Art: In this lesson, I want to show you how you can export your artworks so that you can share them online on your social media pages or on your blog. The first thing I want you to do is to duplicate an artwork. It can be any artwork and opened a duplicate. So in case anything goes wrong, you have your original to fall back on. So we have the chair again. Let's open up the Tools menu. And on the second page, I want you to look at the canvas options crop lets you remove unwanted or unused space on your Canvas. Resize, Let's see, Resize the resolution of your artwork. Street turn allows you to rotate your canvas so that everything looks right. And panels allows you to draw comic panels. Let's see what you can do with the straighten tool. So select the straighten tool. And now you can drag left or right to rotate your canvas. And once you like what you see, once you get the correction right, you can tap here to accept. And if you need to undo, you can always tap here to undo or use two fingers. To do. The other way to rotate your artwork is to select all the elements and use the basic Transform tool to rotate, in which case you will only rotate your artwork but not the canvas. Next we'll look at the Resize tool, which lets you do two things. You can either resize the resolution of your artwork or you can add more canvas base. In this case, it will add more whitespace around a Chair. So let's see how you can do that. Select the Resize tool, and depending on which mode you use. And you can change the mode by tapping on this lock button here. It will either change the resolution AKI, few more canvas space. So just tap on the lock button there and we will see what it does. So this allows you to add more canvas space, and that's increased a canvas space by this much per help. And tap here to a set. You may notice there are some artworks here from the Animals. Artwork. That's because after you Resize, you will notice that this area here is not masked out. So if you want to mask out this area, you will have to create a new a new mask. You have to apply the mask over that area. So I'm going to select the mask and I'm going to draw over this area here. And okay, now it's done. So now that is gone. Now you have more space to work with. Should you want to add more elements to your artworks? Let's go into the Resize to again this time I want to change the resolution. So tab here and tap on the lock again. So right now the resolution is 2555. When you tap on the law and you Resize, now, you will see the resolution will update instantly. So this will allow you to Resize the resolution to whichever resolution you want. And should you want a very precise resolution? You can tap on the number here and enter the number. Right now as I scale, the aspect ratio is locked to this square format. If you want to unlock the aspect ratio, you can do so just have on the link button and now you can unlock it. But in this case it just transforms or scale the image which I do not want. So let me just do and tap here to a set. So let's say you have a lot of whitespace now that you do not need. What can you do? And that's where you can use the crop tool. So tap on the crop tool and the same grid will appear. So now you can adjust the crop to the, to remove the whitespace. And notice as I adjust the crop, the aspect ratio is not a lot. So if you want to lock the aspect ratio, tap on the link button. But now it's too late to tap on the link. But then because I have already moved crop, so let me just cross to cancer and go into crop mode again and tap on the link. But then, first. And this will lock the aspect ratio in this case to the square format. And let me crop with a square format. If you want to crop this to a rectangle, just tap here to unlink and adjust, adjusted crop to the rectangle. And once you'd like what you see, tap a set. So this is composition doesn't look good. So I'm going to undo and I'm going to crop this using the link. But then here, crop it back to that school web format. Alright, so now I have an image that I like. And to export this, I can tap here on the Options button and type here to export each file format here has its pros and cons. With P and G, you will get the highest image quality, but the file size will be quite big for sharing online. One nice thing about P&G is you can choose to save a transparent background. The next format is JPEG, which is a very common format. And this gives you the option to compress your artwork to a smaller file size. And usually I will go with 60 To 70%. So one downside of Infinite Painter when it comes to exploiting files is as you track compressions slider here, you cannot see your artwork update instantly. So after you Export, you have to check your artwork to see whether you liked the image quality that you see. If you don't like that, you have to come back to the Export page again to choose a different compressional limit or quality and Export again and check. The next file format is Google's web P, which gives you a compression options, as well as the ability to save a transparent background. The fourth option is Photoshop file, PSD. So this will save your Infinite Painter file with multiple layers with the layer mask. However, depending on which version of Infinite Painter you use and which version of Photoshop you use. Sometimes you may not get all those layers to come out correctly. But this is definitely the layer or the option to choose. If you want to work with this file on another drawing software. And we have zip format, which will export the layers as multiple PNG files and zip them together into zip file. So inside the zip file, all the layers will be saved as a separate files and you will have to check to see whether the layers have exported correctly. So let me just open this file here. I'm not sure why, but the first image you saw earlier was completely blank. So this looks like the shadow layer. This is the Line Art layer, and this is the color for wood. This is the color for the cushion, and this is also the color for the cushion. The last two file formats are Painter project and template. So if you export your artwork as a Painter project, you can actually open fall using Infinite Painter on another Tablet. And now that you have a separate Painter project file, you can also choose to backup that fall onto external storage. And lastly, there is the template. So you can create a template with Infinite Painter that you can reuse over and over again, especially if you need to work with size that you use quite frequently. So for this fall, we will choose to export it as a JPEG. And I want you to export it at 100% and Export it at 70 per cent. Just to compare the file sizes after you have exported your artwork, will look for your artwork inside your folder or inside your gallery and open one of the files to take a look at the file size and also the image quality. So this phone has a full size of 209 kb, which is, I'll say good enough or sharing online. And the quantity looks pretty good. Let's look at the next file. This file is 766 kb, so this value is more than three times larger in terms of file size compared to this. Far from what I can see, I don't really see any difference in visual quality. So it's actually better to export this file at 70% compression to save on the file size. And this will also mean your artwork will look much faster online. If you'd like to export that artwork, you will see you can now share it on your social media pages or on your luck. 13. How to Backup Your iPad: This lesson, I will show you how to backup your artworks if you use Infinite Painter on an iPad and if you use and Android Tablet, you can skip this lesson and watch the next video in state four, Android tablet users. So having a backup is very important because you really do not want to lose the months and years that you have spent creating the artworks. So on the iPad, there are two backup options. You can choose to backup the Tablet wireless lead to iCloud, which is an online cloud storage service provided by Apple, which is subscription-based. So you have to pay manly, but it's really worth the money because you can backup everything on the tablet. So on the iPad, just have on your username and tap on the icon option here. Now, assuming you have subscribed to iCloud and assuming you have enough storage from your iCloud, you can tap here iCloud backup. So attempt here on this toggle to enable iCloud backup. So after you have enabled the Backup option, you have to type here to Backup now. And the backup process will take a long time. And after you have backed up, your Tablet, backups will appear here. So if for some reason your Tablet is stolen or is damaged beyond repair, you can get a new iPad, sign-in with your Apple ID, enter your password, and everything, including your artworks will be restored. So this is a pretty straightforward Backup option. If you do not want to use iCloud to Backup Your iPad. A second option is to Backup Your iPad to a computer using a cable connection. If you are using a computer that's running Windows, you have to use the app, iTunes. And if you are using a Mac, you can use whereas finder for Backup using the iTunes software on Windows, you first have to select your tablet, then go to the back GFS section and under automatically backup, choose to backup to this computer and click here to Backup Your iPad. And in the future, sure, you need to restore to a new iPad or to a repair iPad. You can tap here, I'll click here to restore backup. If you wanted to Backup Your iPad to a computer and just make sure you have enough storage on your computer if you wanted to Backup Your iPad using iCloud, that's great because the background will happen in the background automatically for you. If you want to Backup Your iPad manually with a compute her, I recommend you set up an alarm with Google Calendar so that you will not forget to Backup Your Tablet Monday so that you can remember to Backup Your tablet regularly. Now, there's one other very important thing you need to know when it comes to backing up. If you want to delete or uninstall Infinite Painter for some reason, maybe the app has some features and you want to reset the app by reading, installing it, and you choose to delete the app. All the artworks within that app will be remove. All the artworks will be lost. If you want to restore Infinite Painter with those artworks, you will have to reset your iPad. You will have to wipe out the iPad and set this up as the new Tablet sign with your Apple ID to restore everything. It's not possible for you to restore just that one app and falls within the app. You have to factory reset your iPad and restore everything using your Apple ID. So that's one very, very important thing you need to remember. As long as you Backup Your iPad regularly, you don't really have to worry about losing your artworks. 14. How to Backup Your Android Tablet: Now let's see how it can Backup and Android Tablet. There are many companies selling Android tablets and backup options provided by those companies may differ. I would highly recommend you Backup Your Tablet using those options provided by the company. But you should also manually backup the fowls a second time. And I'll tell you why. For example, with this Samsung tablet, there are three backup options. You have some, some cloud, Google Drive and backup to external storage. For some reason. Some, some Cloud and Google Drive, not backed up the whole Tablet. More specifically, they do not backup the files saved within the abs. So to backup the whole tablet, to backup everything you have to choose to backup to external storage. So I've connected and external storage to the USB port here, and I'm going to tap here before you Backup, make sure to read up on what's actually being backed up. So here it says it's going to backup everything. So now I can tap nicks and everything will be packed up onto a disk external drive. Now, based on my experience for some reason when I tried to restore the content from this external drive to a new Tablet, not everything was restored over. So some of my artworks from Infinite Painter will not restart over. Which is why earlier I said, you should always create another backup in addition to the one that's provided by the tablet shown on the screen right now is the exact location where the Infinite Painter artworks as taught on the Android Tablet. And this is the folder that you need to backup because this folder has all your artworks. Let me show you where your artworks or more specifically. So open infinite Painter folder. And depending on the fowls app you're using, you may or may not be able to assess the folder. If you cannot assess the folder, you may have to connect Your Android Tablet to a computer to assess your folder from your computer. So let's find where our files are opened. Infinite Painter folder, go into files, Infinite studio into the Painter folder, and go into the projects folder. So this is where all your artworks are. This is the folder that you should backup. And if you use other drawing apps, I would recommend you Backup those folders as well just in case you need them in the future. The app that I'm using here is called soda Explorer and is a software and it's pretty good. So to Backup this folder, just tap on it and tap here to share. And now we can pick this up onto Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive or Dropbox, and from this long list of options here, you can also choose to save that folder onto external storage. If you use the default files app from your Tablet. That false app may not be able to show you the Infinite Painter folder because that folder is hidden somewhere inside the Android system. And you need special permission to see that folder before you can even select a folder for Backup. So that's why I prefer to use this app called solid Explorer. Or you can just connect your tablet to a computer and use your computer to copy the folder. Outfall, backup if you need to delete or uninstall Infinite Painter for some reason, maybe the app has a glitch and one way to solve is to delete an install Infinite Painter. Again, there is one very important thing you need to know. When you tap here to uninstall, a pop-up box will appear asking you whether you want to keep your app data. And yes, you will want to keep your app data because these are your artworks. But before you delete or uninstall Infinite Painter. In addition to this, I want you to Backup Your Infinite Painter folder to an external storage just in case. So these are the steps you have to go through to make sure that you have properly backed up your artworks 15. Your Homework: We will get better at drawing and to help you get more familiar with Infinite Painter, I have provided you with some reference images that I have found online for your practice purposes. So let's take a look at some of them. So this is the Chair from the earlier project. You can try to draw this person who is seated on the chair. You can draw a portrait. You can also draw your desktop or your kitchen tabled Hall. Let me show you that artworks that I have created using the reference images. So this is the person seated on the chair. And I have created this drawing with Line Art and colors beneath. So for the person, I have used black lines and for a Chair I use this orange line and I added the colors beneath. Now for the coloring, I actually painted the shadows on the same layer as the colors. So if I need to change the color of the shirt, it's going to be more tedious because I will have to repaint the **** and add shadows again, which is why it's better to just colored shirt on its own layer and have the shadow on another layer and just multiply the shadow over the **** where you can change the color of the shed very easily. And you may also want to separate colour for the intro on its own layer as well, and also the colors for a Chair on its own layer as well. Now if you find is drawing too challenging for you, you can always create a draft burst, like what I've done here. So this is my quick drive. I then reduce the opacity for the draft. So this is how it looks, just basically to help me get their proportion right, to help me feed the drawing onto the pitch. Because sometimes when drawing, I find that I tend to draw bigger and bigger and I run out of space. So having that dropped later can really help you feed your drawing onto to pitch, to help you draw at the correct size. Let's take a look at the under sketch. So this is a portrait, and you can see my style is very stylized, very simple. Let's turn off the colors. So this is the Line odd. I use a single brush to draw the thick and thin lines. Now when drawing the scarf here, make sure you create the illusion of overlap. And to create the illusion of overlap, you should have all this OBS or this T sections. There's all these cross sections like this cross-sections. So when you have the cross section, you will know which is on top of which pediment is on top of which elements. Now for the coloring, this is again, very simple coloring style. I just painted colors and the shadows on the same layer in. So again, if I need to change the color of shirt, will have to repaint this part. So for this particular image, it may be better to separate a scarf on its own layer and separate the dress on its own layer and also their skin hood and the hair on its own layers. But this is just a quick sketch, so I'm just painting everything like that in a very, with a very simple style. This is how my background looks. That's a very simple background just to create a contrast with details versus the lack of details. This is my computer table. So this is just a very simple black and white sketch. This is the Line Art and this is with some black and gray is added. And I have created a dropped for this as well on a separate layer a year. And this is a drawing of a Tree from ground level looking up. Let me show you the Line Art. So the lines were created with this brush with a lot of texture. And if I remember correctly, this brush is called dry inker. I want you to go into the brush library to look for your favorite brushes and at dam to the Favorites folder so that you can reuse them easily so that you can find them easily in the future. I have also added textures on to the tree trunk And depending on a Tablet you use, you may be able to get some cute with your head. What I mean by tilde is when you draw with a pen vertically, you can get the thin lines. But when you tilt the pan at an angle, you can get those broad strokes. So you can vary the angle of the pen to get you the thin and the extra brush strokes in addition to the pressure sensitivity that's already provided by the pen. So let me add some brown to the tree trunk. So this is how the color looks. Yeah. I have highlights on the left side and the shadows on the right side. And I have use 12344 colors for the tree trunk. Let me turn on the lines in and I have leaves in the background. The leaves were drawn with shapes. So it not create a Line Art for the leaves. I just use shapes to suggest the leaves. So it's good to create a drawing with combination of Line Art and also shapes to make your drawing look more interesting. And this drawing actually you can still look nice without a Line Art. And let me put some leaves above as well. So I have some leaves on top as well. These are the leaves that are above the tree trunk. And a tree trunk is above the leaves at the bottom. Me turn off the Line Art again. This drawing can work with Line Art. And lastly, I have to sky beneath, which is created with a gradient. So this is how to sketch looks. I wasn't able to find a reference photo that are used for that particular tree drawing. So I have provided you with to the Tree images they can use. Now for this tree, you can see the tree trunk is actually kinda dark, but this is digital painting we are talking about. So you can always make this much lighter and apply the shadows, add the shadow areas. This flowers, these flowers on these leaves, this looks like flowers. Anyway, you can make this the US, if you want to. You don't have to draw them as flowers, but you can draw them as low as if you want to. This is a quick sketch of my daughter sketching. And this is my younger daughter with slipping. And this shape here was created using the dad breeze FIO2 with the Debra's view to, you can actually get some texture in the shape, which can make your drawing look more textured. The more you draw, the more familiar you will be with using Infinite Painter. So definitely get as much practice as you can 16. Outro: We are now at the end of the cost. I hope you have enjoyed the cause and hope that you are now more familiar with Infinite Painter. The basic tools, techniques, and Digital Art workflow.
