Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hello, everyone. I'm Uni, and in this class, we are going to draw this cute Kawhi illustration of a Lemon infrocret. During this class, you'll get familiar with a lot of useful features like quickshape two, symmetry two, recoloring with reference, clipping masks, and blending modes, and learn the basics of drawing in procreate. 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 Shape: Begin by deciding what kind of canvas we are getting VM. Today, we're adding a standard square canvas from Procrite with pixel weed and pixel huts at the 2048 pixels. Our DPI are 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 let's begin our preparational parts. Firstly, let's go to the brush library and we will select the Monoline brush from the calligraphy folder. As we are creating a Kai illustration, we want all of our lines to be very, very smooth and easy to work with. Let's tap onto our moonlin brush, and we'll go inside the brush studio. On the left, we'll go under stabilization, and we will be playing with amount of streamline and amount of stabilization. If you want to go on your own and adjust these options, you are welcome to go and do that, try it onto a drawing pad, or you can set these settings the same way as you see them right now onto your screen. When you are done with adjusting the brush, let's hit done and let's go under the project and rush sap and download all the materials mentioned for this class. So all the color palettes and everything. Now when you are done with downloading the materials, let's go to our color palette. We'll go the palette right here on the bottom and under card to this color palette that you downloaded and we will pick our first color, and it will be our dark red color. Now, when we did it, let's also go to the slider with the size and we will set the size of our brush to something around 13%. When we are done with it, let's begin working on our illustration. Let's go toward the middle part and we will start by creating a rounder shape on the top like that. We are starting with the top part of our lemon. Hold your line in the end and you will see that you snap your shape to a better shape. You also can lift up your Apple pencil when you are done with snapping it to a better shape, and you will see that here on the top, we have a poked up option edit. You can tap on it, and you will see that you have some notes right here that you can go and tweak. So for example, we can go and make this overall shape of the lemon slightly rounder and we can go to these notes and we can make it happen. Adjust this shape to your liking. Let's make it very, very rounded. And when we have the result like that, also try to make it positioned quite horizontally. When you have the result like that, when you are satisfied with everything, let's tap on the screen to accept the changes, and then we will go over the bottom and we'll do something similar here. But this time, let's go with our shape a bit flatter. So again, we are creating our shap, we are holding it and the end, we are trying to make it slightly flat and slightly horizontally positions. When you are done with snapping it, let's go to our 182, and let's go first and move the shape slightly down so we will have a queer illustration. So when we have the result like that, if you don't like how this line looks, you can go a little bit more open with the shape, so not too flat and try to position it in a way that it fits the option that we have on the top. So when we have the result like that, if you accidentally put something like I did, you can go with your eraser and erase the extra parts that you don't need. And when we have these two pieces of the illustration that we have, we will need to connect them nicely onto the side. And let's go and do it on a separate layer. So we will go to our layers, and we will create one more layer by tapping on the plus icon. Make it convenient for us, let's get back to the previous layer. We will tap onto the icon right here onto this layer, and we will go to the aposti ladder and make it a little bit reduced. So that way we'll be creating the next illustration, the next part right here of our illustration on the new layer, and it'll be easier for us to see what we are doing. So let's get back to this new layer that we've created. And firstly, let's go towards the left part, and we will be going and creating a rounder connection of these two parts right here. So with one line the same way as before, we are creating our ship and we are trying to match the sheep with the previous lines. So if you need to go to your editing mode and adjust the overall sheep, you are welcome to go and do that. Pay more attention to the connections that you are doing with this line and with the lines that you already had before. So adjust the line to your liking, try to make it pretty rounded. And when you have the result that you like, you also can go and take a look at it from the distance to see whether you like the result or not. When you are satisfied with it, let's tap on the screen. And now let's go and get rid of all the extra lines that we don't need. Let's get back to our layers. Let's go to the previous layer where we have the reduced opacity. We will select it and we will go and select our erasa. With the erasa with the bigger size of it, we will go and erase these lines that we don't need, and we will need to make nice connections right here with the previous ship. So if you need to adjust the size of your eraser, go and do that. Try to make the connection seamless and do the same onto the opposite side tip. So when we've erased everything, let's go and go to the opposite side and create a continuation of the shape here, too. Firstly, going back to our brush, and let's go and do the follow. We will first go toward this part. You can rotate your canvas, so it will be easier for you to create this thing. We will go towards the layer that we've created for this left side. So it will be again easier for us to erase the parts that we don't need. And we will go to this gap that we have right here and create the thing like that. Again, you can hold your line in the ends to adjust it with the editing tool on the top. We will need to make it maybe slightly smaller and a little bit pointed right here. Adjust it, adjust the placement of it if you need to. And when we have the result like that, let's tap on the screen, and let's go and continue creating the connections right here. Again, going to the previous line that we had right here and trying to make very nice connections here. You can hold your lines at the end. You can go and create something in that way, very smooth, going toward the bottom and trying to connect our thin right here you can play around with the shape slightly. You can create something different from what you already have onto your screen. Use all the options that we used before. So if you need to go and edit something, go to the 18 mode and adjust the parts that you don't need. Now let's take a look at our shape and again, we will go firstly to our eraser on the same layer that we are right now on if you have some elements that you need to adjust, for example, some connections, you will go grab your eraser and adjust the parts that are needed to be adjusted. Let's go again, trying to the things seamless and trying to make nice and smooth connections between the parts. Now when we have the results like that, let's get back to our previously where we have the reduced opacity. Again, with the help of our eraser, we will go and very easily erase the parts that we don't need. Again, we are paying attention to the connections between the parts. Let's do it on both sides. Now when we have the result like that, we have the base for our lemon. Let's get back to our layers. Let's get back to this layer where we have the reduced opacity. We will tap onto the icon and make it at maximum. Then we will connect these two layers together, so we will need to mersa. We will use two fingers. We will put one of them on the top and another on the bottom and make a pinch movement like that. Now, when we have the result like that, let's get back to our brush, and let's finish up with the shape that we are going to be using for our lemon by going to the bottom and adding some little legs right here. As again, we are creating a Kai illustration that will be suitable here. So let's first go over the left side and we will create the little leg like that. So something similar to the shape that we used for the bottom part of our lemon. Make it smaller, make it bigger. If you need to adjust it, go to the 18 mode. When you have the first little leg, let's go to the opposite side and create something similar here, too. Try to put them on one line so it doesn't need to be bigger on one side than it is on the opposite side, and the shape should be similar to the first shape here, too. Size wise, again, adjust it if you need to. And when you are done, tap on the screen, make sure that you don't have any extra elements that you don't need right here. If you have something, go grab your eraser and adjust the parts that you don't need. When we have the result like that, let's go and add details right here onto the top. Firstly, we will go toward our layers and we'll create one more leaf right here. Let's go to the color palettes and change the color to dark green. We will use the same brush and the same size of the brush, and we will go firstly over the top and we will create a little leaf right here. So eyeball where the center of your illustration is, and then let's go and create the line going up in that way. Again, you can use the holding of your Apple pencil at the end of the line to make the nice and smooth line. Adjust it if you need to when you have it, let's go towards the bottom, and let's create the second half of our. Again, we will need to connect everything nicely, so it will be easier for us to work on the color liter. If you need to adjust something right here, the curvature or anything, and adjust it to your liking. When you have the result that you like, take a look at everything from the distance, decide whether you like the position or rotation of it. If you want to adjust it, go to the Ao key on the top left. Use uniform method and go and, for example, rotate it slightly by going to the green node right here. Now when we have the result that we like, let's get back to our canvas by tapping onto the key, and let's go to the opposite side and create slightly smaller leaf right here. Doing the same things that we did before creating a leaf on the top, the shape of the leaf right here, if we need to adjust it going and adjusting it and finishing up the whole fin right here by creating the second half of the leaf right here. Now when we have the result like that, let's go and make the size of the brush smaller. But firstly, make sure that you remember the size that you are using right now, so it will be useful for us later to make sure that you know the size, you can tap onto the checkmark right here, ta your slider, and right here, you will have a little window with the size. You can see right here onto the top corner of this window, I have a little minus. You will have the plus if you don't have a markdown right here. So you can tap on it and you will have a markdown ta your slider. So when you remember the size of your brush that you are using right now, let's go with something small. So for example, something around 6%, and we will go toward the middle part of our leaves, and we will create the division right here. So let's create a little line like that. Again, adjust it if you need to go toward the side and add some pattern for the veins. Adjust it if you need to create some nicely looking effect right here. And when you are done with the first side, go to the opposite side and create something similar here too. So when we have the result like that, we are done with our leaves, adjust them by using the ki if you need to. For example, we can move them slightly higher, so we will have more space on the veins and everything. And when we are done with it, let's get back to our middle part, and let's work on the top part of our lemon. We are going to be creating some kind of the cut right here. 3. Pulp & Face: For this cut, what we're going to be doing? Firstly, we will go back to our list and we will create one more lay here. Tapping on the plus icon. Now, get back to the size that we use for all of the previous lines. When we are done with it, let's get back to our color palette and let's select this vibrant yellow color. When you did it, let's go towards one of the sides of our lemon and we will go and create a shape of the circle. Going with one line and in the end, we are holding it. Make sure that we are creating a circle, we'll use one finger and we'll put it onto our canvas, so it will snap to a perfectly rounded circle. Adjust the size by moving your Apple pencil from side to side. This size should be pretty similar to the overall size of the whole levem that we are creating. So when we are done with it, let's go to our error key on the top left one more time, and we will again use uniform method and we also will go under snapping right here onto the left. Go into the settings and turn it on snapping right here into the settings. When we did it, let's go and do the phone. We will need to find the center with the shape that we've created and to find the center, we will need to look for these two orange lines, one vertical and one horizontal. When you've put your shape in that way, let's get back to our canvas by tapping onto our o key and then for convenience, let's go back to our layers and we will hide these two layers that we've created before, the leaves and the main shape. Tapping onto these two checkmarks. Now, when we have only the circle like that, let's go and make a couple of copies of the circle to create the shape of the lemon. What we need to do is to go to the layer where we have the circle and swipe it from right to left and choose the option duplicate. Now we have the second copy, let's select it and let's go again to our arrow key. Again, uniform method, snapping is on and we will need to go toward the nose that we have in the center. For example, let's go firstly from the top and we'll drag the shape slightly down. We will do the same onto the bottom part here too. It just decides we will need to have a bit of space between these two elements, and let's make sure that the shape is in center too. Again, we are looking for these two orange lines. When we did it, we are going back to our list and we will make one more copy of these elements. Again, swiping the layer from right to left and choosing the option duplicate. Now, with this third element, we are again going to our Ar key uniform method, snapping is on, going towards our top first and doing the same thing as we did before. Creating the similar shape to what we have before. Then we position eight, let's make sure that it is in a center, so when it is in the center, we will tap onto our eo ki and we will go and start again the colors right here. Firstly, going towards our layers, we will go to the bottom one, so to the bigger one, and we will change the color to zest. With this color, we will go towards the middle part and we will add the color inside these elements. Now when we have it, we will go again to s, go to the middle part right here to the middle element and changing the color to white. And with the white color, we are going and eating the color inside. Now, when we have the result like that, let's get back to Ls and we will go to our last little circle right here, and we will need to do one more thing. We will need to recolor the shape that we have for this rim. So what we need to do is to tap onto this layer and use the option alpha look. You will see the checkerboard right here. That's exactly what we need. So we will get back to our color palette, and we will choose the color with the title pulp. Now we will go toward the size later and we will go and recolor this thing completely, making sure that everything is recolored so you don't have any gaps with a different color. When you have the result like that, we are going back to our layers. We will tap onto this layer where we have recolored this rim, we will tap on it and we will choose the option alpha lock to turn it off. Now with the same color, we will go and edit toward the middle part. Now, when we have the result like that, we will go and turn this circle that we worked onto right now into the so what we need to do is the following. We will go to range icon on the top left, we will go under canvas, and we will toggle drawing guides. Now you can see we have these cells. It's not the option that we need, so we will go under any drawing guide and we will go under symmetry. Now, we will need to go under options and we will choose the option radio. You can see now we have the very nicely cut element right here, so we have the pie slices. When we have it, we will hit done, and then we will go and tap onto our erasa. And with a smaller size of the eraser, we will go so we're in the lines that we have right here, and we will be cutting the parts right here. So let's go and start doing the things like that. You can see we are doing it readily. We are not only cutting the piece on the top. Let's go and erase the parts that we don't need. So you can work with the bigger size of the eraser or with the smaller size of the eraser if it's easier for you. As if you a can go to your brush and adjust the parts that you overdid. For example, we can go and maybe make this cut a little bit more pointy. So you can adjust the shape very easily. Again, you can go and maybe work onto the overall shape right here, make it a little bit more rounded or when you have the results like that, let's move on to the next little part right here. Again, you can play a little bit around right here, maybe create the smaller cut or bigger cut, create some pattern with it or something, and when you have the cut, go and erase the part that you don't need. Where on the overall look. So if you want to go and maybe make this whole thing slightly rounder, you are welcome to go and do that. If you need to get back to your brush and adjust the parts with it, you are welcome to go and do that too. When you have the result that you like, we will go and turn off our draw assist by going first to our wrench icon, and we will toggle drawing guide right here. And then we will go to our list and you will see that this layer that we have this pulp on is assisted. We'll need to tap on it and use the option draw assist from the list to turn it off. Now to make it more convenient for us, let's go and select these three list that we've created for the pulp elements. When the first one is selected, we will go to the next one and swipe it from left to right and do it one more time, and we will use the option group. Now let's get back to the two layers that we had before. We will unhide them. And what we need to do is to get this group, so we can go to this new group option and we will drag it toward the left side. Let's go to arrow key on the top left and we will try to fed this element right here onto the left. We also can play a little bit with the position of it and maybe with a bit of a perspective right here. We can go and use the option distorted right here. Let's go to where the nodes and let's try to fil this element in a way that it will look nice and we can create some of the perspective right here, connect it nicely on the top and on the bottom and play a bit with these little handles and little toggles right here. So for example, let's go with something like that, and when we have the result that we like, we can straightaway go to our layers, and what we need to do is to grab our layer with the lines, select it, and we will need to drag it above our layer with this middle part. Now, when we have the result like that, let's go and color the elements that we have right here. So we will start with our mean shape of dilemma. Tap ta the layer. Use the option reference. Now we'll go underneath the group that we have right here and create one more layer here. Now, change the color to zest and let's go and edit right here to the middle part. As we'll go toward the little legs that we have and recolor these two elements too. Now when we did it, let's get back to our layers and let's find the layer with our leaves. We will do it one more time. We'll tap on the layer and use the option reference, and then we'll create one more layer and put this lay underneath our layer with our leaves. Now, changing the color to vibrant yellow green and adding the color right here to our leaves. Now when we have the base for our lemma, let's go and work onto the facial features. Firstly, we will go to our layer where we have the red line. We will go and select our dark red color. We will use either the same size of the brush or a little bit bigger than we used before and we will go sowere in the middle part of pulp and we will put two dots right here. You can adjust the size to your like and you can try it out a couple of times. You can play around with the position of these elements. It's up to you. When you found what you like, when you have the eyes, let's go and make the size of the brush smaller. For example, four person, and let's go right between the eyes and let's create a little smiley mouth like that. Again, if you need to play around with it, if you need to maybe try it out a couple of times, you are welcome to go and do that. When you found what you are looking for, let's go and change the color to this orange. And with the bigger size of the brush, even bigger than the size that we use for the ice, we will go underneath the ice and we will put the dot here for the checks. Again, if you need to try it out a couple of times, you are welcome to go and do that. Now when we have the thing like that, we are done with the base, so let's move on to our shadows and highlights. 4. Shadows, Highlights & Final Touches: To start with our hos and highlights, let's get back to our layers, and we will again go to this layer where we have the reference on. We will tap on it, and we'll turn it off from this list. Now, go into our layer with the leaves firstly because we have it on the bottom. Let's go and select it, and let's create one more layer above it. We will tap onto this new layer and we will use the option clipping mask, and we also will tap onto the icon and change the blending mode to multiply. Go into the opacity slider and let's go and reduce it slightly to, for example, something around 50 parisen then we will get back to our color palette and change the color to green shadow. Adjusting the size of the brush if you need to, and let's go over the bottom part of our leaves and create the shadows going in that way. You want to play around with a position or anything of these leaves, you are welcome to go and do that. When you are done with the leaves, let's get back to our layers. Let's go to this layer where we have the base for our lemon. Let's create one more layer above it, tap on the leer, clipping mask, and I can multiply blending mode and something around 50% of opacity for this layer. Changing the color to orange shadow and going toward the bottom right here of our lemon and starting to create a little shadow here. You can go with some peculiar shape or you can go maybe and create something different, maybe something simple, going toward this bottom part and adding the color like that. Play around with this thing. If you want to maybe create a different shape, you are welcome to go and do that. When you have the results like that, let's go and add a bit of texture to the top part. Go in with a slightly smaller size of the brush, and let's go and add some little dots. You can go and vary the size of the brush. You can go with bigger size, smaller size, you can go maybe with even bigger elements, it's up to you. Try not to overdo these parts, add a couple of these details, and create something in that way. Now when we have the result like that, we can make it even nicer by going to our erasa. Again, with a smaller size of the eraser, we can go toward the shadow and we can continue adding the texture here onto this part with our shadow. Going like that, starting to add the details in that way. And when we have the result like that, we are done with our shadows. Let's move on and start adding some highlights. For the highlights, let's get back to our layers, and we will go above all the layers that we have right here. Even above the layer with our lights. Let's create one more layer here and let's go firstly to our color palette and select the color with the title light yellow. With the light yellow color, we will go toward the leaves and we will go with little dots, little lines with the bigger size of the brush or with a smaller size of the brush to the opposite side from our shadows and we will add little highlights here. You can try to create a couple of these details, take a look at them from the distance. If you like how it looks, let's continue by going to our zas right here. Again, we will add some texture to these elements. Let's again go and add some dots right here to create a nice effect for our texture. If you want to go to the bottom part to make a couple of these dots here too, you are welcome to go and do that. Now when we are done with this task, let's get back to our color palettes and switch the color to white, firstly, we will go toward the eyes with slightly bigger size of the brush, and we will put the dot right here to create the highlights. Try to put them on one line and on one side, and when you have the results like that, let's continue by going toward this little part of our pop, and we will go and add some highlights here too. Again, going toward all of these elements and starting to add little details in the shape of the dought and little lines. Try to make them consistent and try to make them cute and nice. Now when you have the result like that, we are done with our details and with our overall shape of the lemon. But if you want to create a full illustration, the full fledged illustration, we can go and add some details outside. So firstly, let's go and select every layer that we have right here. We know how to do that. When the first one is selected, we are swiping the next layer from left to right. We can do it with a group, and we are going toward all of the layers that we have right here. And when all of them are selected, we will first go to our error key. We will go again to our uniform method, and we will go and reposition our sheep by again, looking for these two orange lines, one vertical, one horizontal, or at least one vertical or one horizontal. Find the placement for this element. Try to position it somewhere in the middle. When you add down with it, let's again tap onto our row key. And then let's go back to our last and we will go to our background color layer. Let's switch the color to this background color, and then we will one more time go to our layer. We will go to the bottom and we will create one more layer here. Firstly, let's go toward this layer where we have the clipping for our leaves. We will create one more layer here and we will drag it underneath the layer with the leaves. Now onto this layer, let's go to our color palette, and let's select the color with the title C. So with this color and with the same brush we will go underneath our little lemon to create a little splash right here or some kind of a paddle. So let's go and create a peculiar shape like that. Try not to create it in a too open way. If you need to try it out one more time, you are welcome to go and do that. For example, let's go with something going in that way. Close the shape so you don't have any gaps and then add the color inside. Now, when we have it, let's go again and create one more layer on top. Let's go and select the color with the title blue green, and we will need to drag this layer underneath the layer that we have right here. Let's select this layer and let's drag it underneath. Now, we will go and create the second layer of the puddle. You can go again and play around with the overall shape. For example, we can go a little longer with the shape, close it, drag the car inside. If you want to maybe go and create something different, you can go and create something different. You can go and maybe add some cuts right here to add some interest. You can go with a bigger size of the eraser or with a smaller size or the eraser. Add some peculiar details, add some interest to the picture. And when you are done with this task, let's go and do one more layer of this plush. So one more time, go into our layers, creating one more layer and dragging it to the bottom. Holding it and drag it underneath this layer that we are working on right now. Changing the color to light green and going towards the very bottom part right here to balance everything out and creating another little puddle right here. Again, drag in the color when we have the closed sap. If you want to maybe play runs with the shape, go and do that. Adjust it if you need to add maybe some little peculiar details, maybe some cuts or something. When you are done with it, take a look at everything that you have right here. If you want to adjust something either one by one or by selecting all of the list that we have right here, we can go to our Aoki and, for example, go into the free form method and let's make this puddle lit a bit less open. Let's create something you. In that way, if you want to adjust the placement, go and do that. When we have the result like that, let's get back to our list and let's create one more layer above our little puddles right here. Now, go into our color palette, go into the light yellow color, and let's go outside the shape, and let's create some peculiar little details here. We can go and add some little lines, some little dots, something interesting right here to finish up our illustration. Again, you can use all the options that we used before. You can go and maybe hold one of your fingers on the screen to create shapes that will look nice. You can add the color inside or you can keep them with little dots right here, little open elements, and it's up to you how many of them you want to add, but try not to overdid. And when you have the results like that, we are done with our illustration. Thank you for watching this class. Review if you liked it and continue subscribing for more KAI videos in the future.
