Long Story Short: Draw an Adorable Giraffe in Procreate

1. Introduction: Hello, everyone. I'm Uni, and in this class, we are going to draw this cute away illustration of an adorable giraffe in Procreate. During this class, you'll get familiar with a lot of useful features like quick shape tool, symmetry tool, liquefied tool, clipping masks, and blending modes, and learn the basics of drawing intracrt. By the end, you'll not only draw an adorable illustration you'll be proud of, but also feel super confident using procreate. And now let's spend some time drawing. 2. Base Scheme: Begin by deciding what kind of canvas we are going to be using. Today we are using a standard square canvas from Procreate with Pixel Weed and Pixel huts the 2048 pixels. DPI at 300 and our color profile is set as SRGB with this low number. When it's all done, heating done, go into our new Canvas, and then let's continue our preparational part by going under the project reso Stop and downloading all the materials mentioned for this class. It it, let's go to our layers, firstly, we'll go to the background color, and we'll go to the color palette that you downloaded. Going under palette on the bottom and undercards on the top and selecting the color with the title background for our background. When we down with it, let's go to our actual color palette. Again, going under palette on the bottom, under cards on the top, and let's select some darkish color. For example, let's go with this deep brown color. When we are done with this, let's go to our brush library. We'll go to this brush that you download it with the title Doll flat pencil and we will use it for our preparation part. When we are done with this, the last thing for our preparations will be to go to our Ring icon over the top lat. We'll go anti Canvas and we will toggle drawing guide right here. To start from the same spot, everyone, let's go under Ed drawing guides and we will set the grid size to 65 pixels. When it's all done, let's hit done, and let's begin working on some scheme. Firstly, we will define where we are going to put our illustration. We are not going to touch the top or the bottom or anywhere, so let's go and create one line on the top that will go horizontally like that. Let's go two cells down and create a straight line. Hold your Apple pencil and hold one of your fingers on the screen to make sure that the line is straight and then we'll go to the bottom and here we will have a bit more space, so let's go three cells again, holding everything that we need to hold, and when we have the result like that, let's define the center. We will go to our layers. We'll create one more layer on top, and we will go with one line that will go from top to the bottom through the center. Again, holding our Apple pencil, holding one of our fingers on the screen, and let's make sure that this line is actually in the center. So we will go to the A key on the top left. We will go on the uniform method, and we will toggle snapping right here. So tap on the snapping and toggle snapping in the settings too. When we are done with it, let's hold our Apple pencil at some link space, and let's go and find one orange line that is going from top to the bottom. That way we will know that we are right at the center. Now, when we are done with it, let's go back to our layers and we will merge these two layers together. We are putting one of our fingers on the layer on the top and another on the layer on the bottom and making a pinch movement like that. Straightaway let's tap onto the icon and reduce the opacity slightly by moving the slider more toward the left. When it's all done, let's start by tapping one layer and we will create one more layer to start with the actual scheme that will help us to build up our illustration. What we're going to be doing is firstly going towards the canvas that we have and with one line, we will create a shape of the circle. Hold your line in the end while creating the shape and hold one of your fingers on the screen, and let's go and adjust it position wise and size wise. So we are going to our Aoki one more time. We will go again to the uniform method. Let's move these things slightly down and we are going along this orange line that we have in a center. We'll need to have some kind of six cells on the top and around ten cells on the bottom. Let's find out whether we are okay with the position or we need to make it smaller or bigger. So two, four, six, eight, ten, I will make it slightly bigger like that. And when we have the result like that, let's go again to our k on the top left to tap on it and deselect it. Now one more time, let's go toward the top and we will create another straight line going through the top and this line will touch our top part of the ellipse. We will create something in that way. And then we will go toward our shape that we've created for our head. This is our circle shape, and we will go toward the middle part and we will create a straight line going through the center. So again, when we have done everything in that way, let's continue by going toward the bottom and we will create the shape that we'll use for the body. Firstly, let's go from the center towards the 3.5 point right here. You can make a little markdown and on the bottom, we will use eight cells from the edge. So two, four, six, eight, and we will connect these two little dots with a line like that. We can go toward the opposite side and create the same line here too, but we will use the symmetry tool later on so we don't need to pay too much attention to the opposite side. So we can create the details only on this side. Now also let's go toward the middle line that we have right here and make a couple more markdowns right here. Firstly, we'll go two cells up and create a little markdown here and we'll do the same on the bottom, two cells down on the bottom. Now when we have the scheme like that, let's go back to our layers. Again will go to the N icon right here and reduce the opacity of this layer, and then we'll create one more layer on top. Now onto this layer, let's finally start creating our sketch. 3. Sketch: Begin by going towards the bottom part of our head. We will step a bit from the bottom part. So one or 1.5 cells from the bottom, and we will go towards the right, and we will start to reduce the shape right here and create some kind of squeeze ship. So going like that, creating a little line, going in that way. Again, we will add this sketch only on one side, so later on, it will be on the opposite side too when we are going to be using the colors. So for now, let's finish up working on our sketch only on one side. Now when we hand the result like that, let's go toward the top. We'll go to this little mark down that we've created onto the side, 2.5 cells up from the center, and we will go and start from here to create a shape of the circle. Again, holding our Apple pencil at the end of the line, and with this shape, we are touching our line that we have on the top. If you need to adjust it, go to the 18 mode over the top top on this option. You will have the options ellipse and circle. If you want to use this circle, we can go and use it and create a nicer shape. You can adjust the size by going to the nodes right here, for example, make it a little bit bigger, a little bit smaller. It's up to when you have the result like that, when you are satisfied with the shape, let's tap on our screen to accept the changes. Straightaway, let's go toward this ear that we've created. We will go to half of it and we will create a langon like that that will divide the top part of the ear from the bottom part. When we have the result like that, let's go toward the top and we will create a little horn. Firstly, going from the center, starting to create two lines like that. We will go a little bit higher with these lines and then we will finish up this little horn with a little circular shape on the top. You can decide on the size of it. You can go a little bit more rounded, you can go a little bit less rounded, it's up to you. When we have the shape like that, we will go and continue working onto the shape on the bottom. Firstly, let's go toward the middle. We'll go to this little markdown that we've created two cells down from the center, and we will go right here toward the middle part and we will create the muzzle part. We will go with half of the circle like that or half of the ellipse, and you can decide whether you maybe want to go toward the opposite side and continue creating this line to make sure that you like how it looks. You can go with more rounded shape or it looks a bit more elliptical. It's up to you. When we have the shape like that, we can go towards the right part and we can create an eye right here. Let's go slightly lower than this line that we have right here, the little mark down, and we will go three cells from the center and two cells or 1.5 cells from the right part, and we will start to create a line going like that. Can experiment a little bit with the shapes that you are creating for the facial features, and for everything that you have right here, you can create something different from what I'm doing. If you want to, you are welcome to go and do that. So when we have the shape for the eye, it's a little bit of an elongated ben shap. Let's go toward the top part of our muzzle and let's create a little nostril right here. So we will go and create a very simple shape like that. If you want to create some extra details, maybe some eye lashes or something else, you are again welcome to go and do that. Now, when we have the result like that, let's go toward the bottom and let's start working onto our body. Firstly, let's go from the very, very bottom from this line that we have. We will go three cells up and we will make a little markdown right here. So we will go toward this area and we will start to create a body. We will go with a rounded chip like that and we will need to add a bit more weight and a little bit more curves toward the bottom part. So going like that and starting to create something in that way. Now when we have the result like that, let's go towards, again, the very bottom part. We will go slightly towards the side from this line that we have right here, and we will go and create a little line like that. Half of the circle or actually an ellipse like that. When we have it, we will go and continue creating the line by going and creating another curve right here and connecting this bottom part of the leg with the top part. Again, you can play a little bit around right here with the sheep and create something that will work for you. Now to continue with our hoof right here, let's go slightly toward the side and we will create another parallel curve to what we have right here onto the right. When we have this, let's go toward the bottom, we will continue creating the line right here. And then when we have the result like that, let's create the front legs. For the front legs, let's go toward the middle part and we will start by creating a line going like that. When we have this line, we will go towards the right, and we will create a little bit more curvier line right here. So creating something like that, and when we have it, let's finish up by creating a little hoof. So going from the bottom and creating a bit of a crooked little hoof like that. Now when we have the result like that, let's also go towards this area where we have the intersection between the legs and we will go and create a little tail right here. For the tail, we will create two little lines going in that way, you can go with straight lines or you can go with a little bit of a curve right here. And then on the top, we will create an elliptical shape like that. You can go, again, a little bit rounder or less rounder, it's up to you, and we will finish up with creating a little part like that. Now when we have the results like that, we are done with our sketch. If you want to have it on the opposite side too, we can go to our list and we can make a copy of this layer. Swiping the layer from right to left and choosing the option duplicate. Now when we have the second copy, let's go toward our A key on the top left, uniform method, and we will use the option flip horizontal. Now, with this flipped copy, let's go toward the right, and we will connect everything that we have right here and we will have the second copy onto our left. So now when we have the result like that, let's tap onto our oke. Let's go back to our layers, and we will merge these two layers together on the top. So again, pinch movement like that, and let's go again to the adjust the opacity. Now, when we are done with this thing, when we merge the layers, we are done with our sketch, so let's move on to our next part where we'll create the colors. 4. Color Base: Begin our coloring part firstly by going to our lays and we'll create one more layer by tapping on the plus icon. We will grab this layer and we will put it underneath our layer with our little scheme and our little sketch, holding our layer and dragging it down. And when we have the result like that, decide whether the lines that you have right now are too strong and too visible and maybe you want to go to the icon and adjust the opacity so it will be easier for you to see what you are creating with your lines. So let's go to both of these layers with the scheme and with our sketch and reduce the opacity slightly. Now onto this new layer, let's do the volume. We will go toward our Rnch icon over the top left. We will again use drawing guide, but we will switch the mode right here. We will go to ED drawing guide and on the bottom, we will use the option symmetry. We are not touching anything here. We are tapping down on our top right, and now let's make sure that our layer is assisted. We are going to the list and this lay that we are supposed to create our colors on is assisted. You have this little title right here. When you have it, let's go toward our color palette, and let's switch the color to yellow Bs. When we have it, let's go and create a circular shape, but before doing that, let's switch our brush. We will go to the brush library and we will use the studio pan brush from the inking folder. When you've selected the brush, let's go toward our canvas and let's create a circular shape. Again, with one line, we will create a shape. We will hold our Apple pencil at the end of the line and we will try to match it with the shape that we have onto our screen already. Trying to make a nice connection, we accurate only half of that, but we need to make sure that we don't have any gaps into our line. When we are done with it, let's drag the color inside and let's adjust the shape slightly. If you've created a full circle that is going toward the bottom right here, you are welcome to go to the magic one, two and go under liquefy. We'll use the option push and we will use the size slider. You can adjust the size by moving the slider toward the right or toward the left, deciding whether you need to go smaller with the size or bigger with the size. And with this brush, we will go and move the shape so it will match what we have on R sketch. Also, let's make it a little bit more open ons side, we will drag the shape slightly toward the right, and we'll create this squished little finger. If you want, we also can go slightly from the top and adjust the shape here too. Follow the directions that you have onto your sketch, and when you are done, let's get back to our canvas by tapping onto our Magic Q tool twice. Now, when we have the result like that, let's continue recoloring other elements. So getting back to our brush in the same way as before, we are going toward these elements that we've created. We are holding our Apple pencil there. If we need to adjust something, we are going to this option on the top, our editing mode, when we have a solid shape and when we like it, we'll drag and drop the color inside, and we'll go through all of the elements that we have right here and we will color Blokdo. Let's go toward our little horns right here. You actually don't need to repeat everything with 100% of similarity to what you have inside your sketch. If you want to experiment a little bit, you are welcome to go and do that. You can go and create the different shapes right here or different rotations of the shapes. Just make sure that everything is closed, and you are able to add the color inside when you've created the shape. Now when we're done with the top part, let's go and recreate the sheet that we have for the body. Again, we are going either with holding our line at the end or minial. We can go to the editinT right here and adjust the overall curature of this element if we need to. Again, we are trying to create a bit more volume onto the bottom, and of course, if you want to experiment maybe with the position of the line on the top, you are welcome to go and do that too. When we have this shape, let's tap on the screen and let's go towards our little leg and again, recreate the shape here. Let's go to the hoof. We will create everything with yellow color just for now and then we'll recolor some elements if we need to and we will need to do that. Now, let's go toward the bottom and we will create a straight line right here, going toward the end, and then we will go to this area where we have the front little hoofs and we will go slightly towards the bottom part, so a little bit of protruding part. Now when we have the result like that, let's drag the color inside, and then we will need to go and recreate the little till right here. We have two copies. We will go and recreate only one of them. First, we will need to go to our list and we will need to turn off our assisted drones. Let's tap once this layer and let's turn it off from the list by tapping on drawing assist right here in the list. Now going towards this little till and recreating it the same way as before. So going like that, starting to create our shapes. Again, if you want to experiment a little bit maybe with the shape or something, go and do what you want to do and then end the color inside. Now let's go and take a look at everything without the lines of the sketch. We are going to our layers, and we will go to these two layers that we have on the top and we will hide them. We will need to have a very clean shoette. So if you have some elements that you need to go on and adjust maybe the curvature of the lines or maybe some of the lines look a little bit jagged, go to these places and adjust them. When everything is smooth and nice, let's get back to our lays and let's get these two layers back. Tapping onto our chip marks. Now when we have the result like that, when we have the solid chip, let's go and tap on the plus icon to create a. Now onto this layer, let's tap on it, and let's use the option clipping mask. We also will tap onto this lay and use the option drawn as this so we will be able to use the symmetry to. Now, going back to our color palettes and let's go and select this ears color. With the ears color, we will go toward the bottom part of the ear and we will go and create this element. Going like that, taking a look at it on the opposite side too, whether we like it or not, and go to the little part and starting to recreate the shape by adding the color in lines. Now, when we have the closed line like that, let's drag and drop the color. Let's take a look at the opposite side, whether it looks fine or not. If it's okay, we will go and add another color right here on the bottom, to make sure that we are staying inside this here, let's do the following. We will go to our layers. We will tap onto the layer where we've created these inner parts and we will use the option Alpha lo. You will see we have this checkerboard, that's exactly what we need. Then we will go to our color palette and we will switch the color to hers too, and then we will go very boldly like that to the bottom part. Maybe if you need a couple of atoms, go and have as many attempts as you need. Let's create a rounded shape right here, and then manually, we will go toward the bottom and we will add the second color right here too. Just like that, let's go and figure out whether we need to fix the part on the bottom where we have the connection with the heat. So to do that, we will need to go again to these two layers that we have and adjust everything if we need to adjust something. We will go back to our erasa and we will try to make a very nice connection between the shape of the heat. So we will need to elongate it. Then if you need to work more on the oral shape right here of the ear or something, go and work with your eraser to achieve what you want to achieve right here. Now when we have the result like that, we also can go and maybe adjust this little part so everything looks smooth. When we are done with the ear, let's get back to our list. Let's get back these two layers that we have. Let's again go to this layer where we have this checkerboard. We'll tap on it and we will use the option alpha log to turn it off. Now when we did it, let's go to our color palettes and switch the color to hoofs and horns, and we will start from the horns, and we will recolor the top parts of them with this brownish color. So you can first go and create a line like that, then create the full line that is closed, and then drag and drop the color inside. When we are done with it, let's go toward the hoofs, and let's create them to go in like that and starting to create a line going in that way. And then we will go and fill up the area with the closed sheep and then drag and drop the color inside. When we have it, going toward the tip right here, recoloring it too. So again, starting with the line, going around like that and adding the color inside. When we have it going toward the top hoofs and starting to recreate them to very accurately right here onto the side, starting to go around the shape and finishing up by creating the closed line. And the color inside, take a look at everything, whether you need to go and maybe adjust some parts, grab erasa and we will go and erase the parts right here, maybe soften up the line to make everything very, very smooth and nicely looking. With your erasa you can use all the options that you are using with your brush, so you can hold your line at the end. You can go to the editing mode if you need to. And when we have the results like that, let's go and switch the color to white. With the white color, we'll go toward the muzzle element and we will go and recreate it. Again, with our brush, we will try to create a nicely looking sheet that will be quite rounded and quite cute. Again, you can hold your line at the end. You can go to the editing mode if you need to adjust it. Let's go and make it slightly more rounded, so we will create a nicer shape right here. Adjust it by going to this little nose that you have in the editing mode, go maybe a little bit bigger with the shape or a little bit smaller. Take a look at it from the distance. If you are satisfied with it, tap on the screen and let's go toward the bottom part and we will create a line that will finish up this muzzle part. Now, when we have it, let's dragon drop the color inside and then one more time, let's go and hide these two layers with our scheme and everything, and we will go to these areas that we need to adjust and we will go and adjust them. Try to make this thing very, very rounded and very, very smooth and try to avoid creating some gaps with a different color. Overdid it, grab your eraser and erase the parts that you don't need. Now when we have the result like that, let's get back to our lease. We will unhide these two leaves that we have hidden, and then we will get back to our color palettes and we will select the deep brown color. Let's adjust the size of the brush to something around maybe 35% or so we'll try it out right here onto our canvas and we will go and create the shape of the eye. For example, for now, let's go with something else a bit more flat. Again, if you need a couple attempts to create the shape, you are welcome to go and do that. When we have the result like that, let's go and adjust it slightly by again using our liquefy too. Go on to our magic one, two, liquefy and we will use the option push and we will go and adjust the elements that we have right here. As we have multiple elements onto this layer, try to go only on the areas with the eyes and adjust them. What we want to achieve is a little bit of a different look for our eyes, and that means that we will need to have a bit like tip right here onto the ice. We will go with our little push option and we will try to adjust this part to create a nicer looking line. Very easily, let's go and start to do this. You also can try to use the option pinch. Let's select it firstly and then we can go toward this tip and we can go and very softly start to create the pinch movements right here. And when we have the results like that, take a look at everything, decide whether you like everything or not. If you want to get back to the push option and maybe adjust something else right here, maybe the size, the overall look of the eye, maybe something else. You are welcome to spend some time here and adjust it to your like. When you are done adjusting it, let's tap one adjustments twice. And if you see that you can go and maybe adjust something with just the brush, you are welcome to go and do that too. For example, with the small size of the brush, let's go and make this line a little bit more smooth, and we will do it on both sides on top and on the bottom. Again, if you have some additional elements, if you have maybe the eyelashes or something, go and recreate them too. And when we have the result like that, let's change the color of a brush to brown lines, and we will go toward these little nostrils that we have, and we will create them with this brush. Now, when we have the result like that, we are done with our basic colors, so let's move on to our next part where we will start to add the details. 5. Final Touches: Let's begin this part firstly by going to our list and we will hide these two layers that we have on top our scheme and our layer with the sketch. And when we have the results like that, let's go and create one more layer on top, and again, we'll tap on the layer and use the option clipping mask. Then we will go to our brush library and we will select the brush, the well behaved liner. Again, the brush that you can download from the Project and resort. When we have it, we will go to the color palettes and we will use the brown lines color. And now with this brush, we will go toward the edges that we have and we will start to create some lines right here. We are going closer to the elements that we have and we are starting to add some linework. We are not going to be creating it everywhere. We will go towards some of the places and we will start to add the definition inside this part. If you want, you cannot go only to one side, you can go to both sides evenly. You can go toward the lays, you can tap on the lay and use the option, drawing assist and create these lines on both sides at the same time. I will go along these two lines or three lines that I've already created, so they will appear on the opposite side too. We will go along everything that we have right here and we will try as to create nicely looking lights. Let's go toward the bottom here too. We will make some definition right here. To go on like that, you can vary the amount of pressure that you are using and you can define the line weight right here while you are using the pressure. Let's go toward this little part and let's create the continuation, the definition right here. Let's go right here and add a little dots like that or a little line. You can go and add a bit more of color right here inside the connections between the lines into the corners. Then let's go towards the face and let's go from the middle part and create a little line right here too. Again, try to make nice connections right here. You can see this brush is a little bit textured, so we are adding a bit of a nice effect right here. When we have it, let's finish up with the horns. Going like that, starting to add our additional little lines, going toward the actual horns and starting to add the color here too. Try to make nice connections between the lines right here. Again, going like that, starting to add the definition, going toward the top. If you want to go toward the opposite side and starting to add the details here too. For example, let's go with something in that way and when we have the result that we like, let's continue by going toward the bottom part. So let's go and finish up with our face. We will go closer to the end of our face and we will start to add the line right here. Again, if you need to create a couple of lines, go and do that, try to make a very nice kind of connection right here, we'll have a bit of a gap right here, but it should look like we just lost a little bit of pressure right here, not only the line right here. When we have the result like that, let's continue by going and defining these lines that we have for our middle parts going like that, starting to add a bit of color right here between the connection. So we have some kind of the shadowy part or some when we have it going toward the leg and starting to define them too with our lines. Let's work on this connection here, go along these parts and starting to add nicely looking lines right here. When we have it, let's go toward the bottom, actually, let's go toward this hoof right here firstly, we will create the line right here. We also had some line right here as the bottom part of the hoof. If you need to get back to your layer where you have the schedule to recreate this line, you are welcome to go back to your last and find the layer and hide it. If you don't need it, create the hoof like that and then continue ding the line on the bottom, go on full size right here, full line, and then creating the little line right here too. Now let's define the leg. Again, if you need to, you can go to the layers, find where you have these little lines for the leg and recreate them here onside your clean lines. Doing the same onto the opposite side, creating the line right here. Again, if we need a couple attempts going and having as many attempts as we need, getting back to our layers, hiding the layer where we have our lines, the sketch lines. If we need to erase some parts right here or maybe create something different, we will go and do that and also let's go toward this little part and recreate it too. Now, let's take whether we need to go and adjust something else. Let's go toward this little part and we will again create a line right here to create ice effect. When we have it, let's again take a look at everything. If you want to go and maybe make some of the lines a little bit thicker or so you are welcome to go and do that. When we are done with the mean element, let's go back to our list and we will go to the layer where we have these lines. We will tap on it, and we will use the option drawing assist to turn it off. So we will be able to go to the tail and we will be able to create the lines right here. Let's go along these parts and let's create the lines going everywhere. If you want to go to some of the places and maybe create the thicker lines or some difference in the lines from what you have on the opposite side, you are welcome to go and do that. Spend some time here and adjust the lines to your liking. Now when we have the result like that, let's continue by going and adding more details. Firstly, go into our layers and we will create one more layer, but we will firstly go toward this layer where we have the mean color, and we will create one more layer from here. Now, go into our brush library and we will go to the airbrush and folder to select either medium blend brush or soft blend brush. Select one of these brushes, set the opacity to something around 20%, and we will go to our color palettes and select the secondary yellow color. Now let's make the size of the brush quite big and we will go toward the bottom part of the face and we will try to add a bit of the gradient right here. Very, very softly going and adding the secondary color right here, trying to create a very smooth transition between the colors. If you want to go to the bottom right here to the body, you can go there and you can add the colors here too. When we are done with it, let's go and add a bit of blush and our details on the top in the shape of the spots. Firstly, we will go toward our layers. We will go and create one more layer from where we are right now at and we will grab the lay and we will drag it above our layer with these additional elements. Onto the layer, let's tap on it, and let's use the option drone assist firstly and then we'll go toward our color palette and select the color with the title shadows. With this color and with the same brush that we are using right now, our soft blend or medium blend brush, we will go underneath our little ice right here and we will add some of the checks right here. Try not to overdo it just a touch of the color right here and when we have it, let's go to our brush library to select a different brush. Let's get back to our studio pan brush from the ink and folder. This brush and with a different color. Let's go with the brown lines, for example, or you can go with hoofs and horns. Let's go to hoofs and horns and let's add the shadows right here too. You can try to add the color right here onto these parts, but probably nothing good will happen because we will need to go to our last and tap onto this icon to adjust the blending mode to multiply. Also go and adjust the apaste, you can see that we've changed the color right here too. That's exactly what we need. Then we will go toward our hoofs and we will start to add the color right here to these bottom parts. Let's go like that. Let's start to add the color. And if you want, you can go toward these little parts right here and maybe add a bit of the shadows right here too. For example, we can go toward these bottom parts and add a bit of the shadow. Decide ta the opacity if you feel that maybe it's too much, you are welcome to go and reduce it if you want to. And when we have the result like that, let's go and add a bit of the Tammy right here. We can go and create another layer by going underneath this layer that we were on right now and creating the layer here, it will be automatically clipped. We can go toward our color palette and let's select the color either with the color ears or ears to. And with either of these colors onto this layer, we also will tap on it and use the option draw as this will be able to add it on both sides evenly. We'll go right here to where these little parts, and we will add a bit of the color for the timing. And also, let's go right here between these front little legs and add the color right here too. Now when we are done with it, let's continue by going to our list. We will get back to this layer where we have our shadows with the multiplier blending mode and we will go and select the color with shadows. With this color, we will go underneath the hat, so you can rotate your canvas, so it will be easier for you to create the shadow. We will go right here underneath the hat and we will create a rounded shadow like that. Let's go and end the color toward this little parts and create something goon in that way. If you want you can make it a little bit more rounded toward the center and create some of the line like that. Now, when we have the results like that, decide whether the shadow size is right for you. If you want to adjust it, you are welcome to go and maybe make it a little bit thicker or a little bit thinner. It's up to you. Take a look at it from the distance to decide whether you like it or not. If you are okay with everything, let's go and add the spots. For the spots, let's go toward our layers, and we will need to go underneath the layer where we have our shadows and from here, we'll create one more lay. Let's get back to our color palettes and switch the color to spots or red orange. You can decide whether you want to use the darker ones or the lighter ones. And with this color, let's go toward the top first, and let's start adding the peculiar little details. You can go with some peculiar shapes, start to add the lines, add the color inside when you already work with your brush and work with your erasa. So let's go like that. Let's go a little bit lower and let's start to create some wobbly shapes, adding the color, go with different sizes and different shapes, trying to add a couple of details with this little spot. Let's go through the whole shape of the hat right here, through the whole top part of the hat, and let's add a couple more of these details right here. For example, let's go and add two more onto this side. Create some pattern with it or go a little bit randomly, it's up to you, create something that will look nice. You need to zoom in and maybe adjust the softness of the lines where the connections go and do what you need to do. Try to create the spots in a solid way so you don't have any blank spaces inside. When you are done, let's go toward the body, and let's create some spots here too. So let's go more toward the sides, and let's start to add the details here. So let's go with a little bit of bigger shapes right here, start to add the lines and then add the color inside. Again, try to create some pattern or go a little bit randomly with the spots. So, for example, let's go a little bit down with our shape. Let's create smaller element right here. Let's go and create a couple more right here onto this side. You can go maybe with some peculiar shapes with some triangles or maybe with some hard shapes. It's again up to you. When you're done with the first side, let's go to the opposite side and create something similar here too. You can create the exact same thing that you have on the opposite side, or you can create something different right here and add some different insights. So let's go like that. Let's continue adding our details. So for example, going right here, starting to add a little dots right here or so, starting to add some pattern, adding the details, and let's finish up by creating one more little dote like that. Take a look at everything from the distance, decide whether the spots are enough right here. If you are satisfied with everything, let's continue by going and adding some little highlights. Firstly, let's go and use the same color that we are using right now and we will go toward the checks that we have right here. We will finish up with our checks by creating some blushing effect like that, go to both of the sides and create some lines for the blushing. Try to make them similar on both sides. Again, if you need to create it a couple of times, you are welcome to go and do that. Then when we are done with this blushing, let's go and change the color to white and let's go toward the top and all of the elements that we have right here and let's start adding the details like that. Again, try not to overdo it or if you want, you are welcome to do what you want to do right here. Let's also go toward the eyes and let's add some sparkles here too. For example, some dots like that, going to both sides evenly, going towards some other elements, some other areas and starting to add a couple of these sparkles all over the places. Also to make it more interesting, we can go to the top part and add a bit of light. So let's get back to our brush library. We'll go to this brush that we used before, medium blend or soft blend from the airbrush folder, and we will go and create one more layer above the layer with our shadows. So creating the layer, going to the icon and adjusting the blending mode to overlay, changing the color to yellow base, and let's go with the bigger size of the brush to some of the elements, and we will go and adjust them. So for example, we can go and add a bit of light on the brown elements, going like that to the top of them and adding a bit of lighting like that. And now when we have the result like that, let's go and work a little bit onto the background. So we will get back to our brush library and we will go and select our Del flat pencil brush. We will change the color to background elements and we will go to our layers to create a new layer underneath everything that we have right here. So go into this layer on the bottom right underneath the layer with the whole shape that we have, creating one more layer here, and let's go to the bottom and we will create a little bit of a grass patren here. So go like that with our pencil probably with a bigger shape of it and starting to create some additional little elements like that. So going like that a little bit behind our little giraffe and then go and creating some kind of the pattern right here. If these lines are bothering you, you can go and hide them by going to the lays and finding the layer where we have them and hiding it. And then let's go toward the top parts and create some strengths of grass here. Let's go to the opposite side too and add a bit of the color right here too. If you want to work more onto this element, you are welcome to go and do that. Try to create this very nicely looking pencil effect right here. And when you have the result like that, let's go and maybe create a couple of more strands of grass right here onto the sides and then let's go and create some additional elements. For example, let's go and create some little flowers or some of the differently shaded grass right here. To go on like that, go into the opposite side to balance it out, trying to create a couple of peculiar little details right here. When we have it, let's go toward the top and let's start adding the details here too. For example, let's go with the same brush and create a couple of maybe hearts or something, starting to shade them too, going like that, and adding a couple of elements to finish up with our illustration. Let's go toward the opposite side too and add another little heart here. For example, right here, let's go and edit. Let's go and shade it too, and then we will continue by going and adding more elements. For example, let's go again toward this. Right part, let's finish up with it. Let's go and create some of the flower or so. Go into these elements and shade it manually. When we have it, let's go with slightly smaller elements, so we can go and adjust the size of Abrash. We can go with some sparkles, we can go with some dots. Let's fill the areas, the blank ones outside our giraffe to add some additional little nice effect right here. You can go with some dots, you can go with some sparkles. You can go maybe with some pattern right here with the sparkles that you are creating and let's go and add a couple of the details outside. And now when we have the result like that, let's get back to our range icon or the top left. Let's toggle our drawing guide. And when we have the results like that, we are done with our illustration.
