About This Class

In this class, you’ll learn how to paint rich, organic textures in Procreate to add depth, realism, and a hand-painted feel to your illustrations. We’ll explore practical texture techniques, brush control, layering, and grain that you can immediately apply to your own artwork.

This class is taught by Yaşar Vurdem, an illustrator and visual artist whose work and collaborations span international brands and productions. Yaşar has contributed to projects and visual content connected to platforms and brands such as Amazon Prime Video, Adobe, Wacom, and artists like Billie Eilish, as well as major productions including The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time, and Citadel.

Rather than relying on presets alone, you’ll learn how to build textures by hand, understand why they work, and use them intentionally to enhance mood, form, and storytelling. This approach will help you create illustrations that feel more tactile, professional, and visually engaging.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to paint believable textures directly in Procreate

  • Techniques to add depth, contrast, and realism

  • Brush settings and texture layering workflows

  • How to make digital illustrations feel organic and hand-crafted

This class is perfect for illustrators, designers, and Procreate users who want to elevate their artwork and develop textures that feel natural, expressive, and professional.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a deeper understanding of texture painting in Procreate and a finished illustration that reflects a more confident, refined visual style.

1. Adsız video ‐ Clipchamp ile yapıldı (15): Hi, everyone. I'm Masha Wurdam. I'm professional artist and illustrator. Who collaborated with AdopeElsh Wacom, and many moe. And in this class, we are going to explore the basics of painting textures in Procreate. You have ever wondered how to make metal look shiny, peer look soft and luminous, or leader feel rich and realistic. This lesson will break it down step by step. We will start by understanding how light behaves on different surfaces, then move into texture specific shading, highlighting, and edge control. I will show you how to paint reflective metal, smooth and gloving peels, and the tailored leader using sample brushes, smart techniques and clear lighting logging. These fundamentals will help you to add realism and deep to the characters, fashion illustrations, objects, and fantasy designs. By end of this class, you will understand how to approach any surface with confidence. So open your Camas, experiment with textures, and let's bring your materials to life together. 2. Painting Metal : Welcome. In this class, we will make realistic textures in procreate. At first, be sure you're using not directly white in your background because using directly white makes your mid tones and highlights a bit weaker. In this part, we will apply the alpha and zoom in and create the dark shadows at the right part. Like this. Apply much more lighter color over it and this part and this part. It is like we see reflections in the surface. It can be something like the reflections of some ground or different things. And the white will be here. Yeah. And at top of it, you can add stretches like this for increase the realism level of your illustration. Because it is not flat surface and have some stretches over it. 3. Painting New Year Candy: And let's start from the other texture. Now, we will try to do different kind of texture, for example, red at background. Like this and add here, we will put lights here. And it can be some rxmas candy, for example, white lines, like this. But it looks not well because at dark parts, it needs to show much more dark and depends the light. And let's start from the other part. 4. Painting Moon: Duplicate the texture again. In this part, let's paint it like moon texture. At first, I'm defining the light shape like the light area of illustration and use dark colors here. Here, here, here, here, and here, here, here, and delete some parts of the illustration. Like, these parts will be lighter inside, and some parts are darker and some parts are lighter, and it balances the look of it and creates craters Because Mon has some big and different kind of textures in it like this. Some is big, some is less, and oh it looks like moon, but we need to make sure these parts will be like this lighter and textured to give it much more moon like look. Okay. And let's continue from the other texture. I will duplicate it here. Yeah. 5. Painting Skin: And I will continue from this part. And let's look it. At this one, I will make lava texture at first or second texture. It is better wait. I will paint like this. And much more darker areas, and I'm always using airbrush for my textures because it creates realistic look in it. And this place is lighter, and this one is darker, much more darker and reflected light is here. And at skin, we need to see pores skin pores like regular or irregular forms over the texture. And these kind of details is visible on the highlighted area. Yeah, it is better right now. And you can also create freckles and much more surface detail here. Depends on your second texture. Yeah, like this. And let's continue. At this part, we will paint a 6. Painting Hair: Pictures. And highlights. Yeah. And at light parts, you can create the texture of the hair like this with blending. And you can make these parts much more visible. Okay, we will continue at the next lesson. 7. Painting Gold: This time, I will. This time, I will make golden texture. Let's alpha look the layer again. At background, we will use dark color for our golden texture. And some yellows here. And much more yellow color. Just like this. And at this part, again, we will use, it is looking good right now. And 8. Painting Water Bubble: I can use much more. Yeah. And let's duplicate again here for other texture. This time, we will paint a bubble texture. Let's look the layer. And it will be transparent like this. And bubble texture have some vibrant and like this and like this from this side this side. Also, maybe at this part, and at this part. And it can be transparent a bit much more. And some places of it have highlights like this. Okay. And let's continue to make 9. Painting Pearl: Different kind of textures. Now, we will paint Water textures. At background will be much more darker, like shadow parts of it. And at Light part, we will use like this and zoom in, and you can put waves in it like sea waves. It creates some like old lace texture. It creates old lace texture. With like soap and zoom in and use much more vibrant color here and apply here. 10. Painting Meat: This part is darker. Yeah, and much more yellows here. And we need to paint white lines for define the textures of the meat, for example, like this, and it will take shape of the meat like this and like this. Also, some places can be much more whiter like this because not all of textures have it. Yeah. And we can even use like let's Zoom here. And I'm adding texture over it like this. Yeah. And let's continue by making much more texture. And I will make lava texture. 11. Painting Lava and Grass: Okay. Like this and much more darker. And this part will be lighter this part. Yeah, like this. And at the top of it, I will put some rock and for define the texture of the lava. Yeah, I like this. And some part of it will be much more darker at these parts, especially this part and this part. Yeah. And much more yellows here. A. Like this. Hope you enjoy. And at next part, let's open another new layer here. And we will paint different kind of texture here. And it will be maybe let me think about it first. Grass texture. At I will use green color here. And we'll make it like this. Yeah. And I will keep adding textures. At some parts, you can use different kind of colors here. You like extra colors. And these textures will be much more visible at the light parts, not everywhere. Yeah. And 12. Painting Quick Textures: Let's open another new layer. This time, I will paint let me think again. Okay, maybe it can be glass texture. I will start with the cold color like this, and I will apply eraser at this part of it, at some parts of the glass. Because glass is because glass is transparent. Yeah. And open another new layer for continue to adding, creating textures. Now I will paint texture of the let me think again, maybe with purple texture like diamond. And I will use much more dark shadows and light shadows here. And this detail will be much more vibrant here. And at the top of this part, I will put highlights. But highlights should be much more like this and yeah, like this. And maybe here. And let's open another new layer and continue to creating textures. Now I will paint rock textures. Let's alpha look and select dis color and paint irregular forms because Rock is having Rock have irregular forms and it creates some texture like this, and you need to use much more textures here like this for give it the dry and strong look of the rock. Yeah, like this. And at some parts, you can use darker colors or some rock colors here like this. Yeah. And I will make this illustration much more D. Yeah, it is right. It is good right now. And let's open another new layer. And this time, we will paint eye textures. Let's the layer and paint background and shadows here and highlights and highlights. And let's paint it a bit brown eye. Yeah, and lights here. Lights here and yellow and reflections. And put the lights here and here like this. And maybe different kind of lights here and here. Yeah. And this time, let's open another new layer, and we will paint hone textures and fallo flayer and paint it like this and dark shadows and light parts. Yeah. Like honey texture here. At some parts, it have really good amount of the tail like this and Whites. Let's put whites. Yeah, like this. Thank you for joining me in this class and see you in the next classes. 13. Painting Realistic Glass Ellips, Creating Base Colors : Part, we will paint realistic glass texture. At first, you need to paint gray at the background. And after it, select ellipse and create new layer and place your ellipse, like this. And after it, you need to select the lighter color with airbrush. Then apply over the corners and define the reflection area. For example, it is glass and it reflects light and bones. There will be so much color bones. So what we definitely do, like what we need to do is defining the light part. It will have two side light like this and like this. And most highlighted area will be this corner. And we need to add some light effects here like this. With this way, we will make this glass much more realistic. For example, if there is a detail in it, we need to show it. Then I'm painting lines here to define the reflective things of this glass. For example, if we see forest or different kind of objects in it, it will be visible like mirror in this, but it will be like fish eye and nothing will be same or normal. For example, it is like in perspective of the glass. And it will have some different kind of lights in it. For example, if we have saturated light here, we need to show it like this. And if we have different kind of lights, we also need to include it here. For now, I will paint glow here at this part, and at the corners will be much more visible. Like this. And I will use directly white at some parts to make the light bounce much more stronger. And at this part, I will also make it And it is the glass, so I have a really good amount of brains in it. Like this, you need to define how to build the details of the glass. For example, this part will be stronger here and much more detailed here. Yeah. And of course, we need to build much more colors inside it. Yeah, for deepness. And of course, the corners will be much more reflective because it is glass and it reflects light really wrong. And for example, here, too, like this and like this. Okay. Now zoom in and select the lighter brush and open new layer with the overlay mode. And apply over it like the lines like irregular lines, but it's for defending the shape of the glass texture because it is not flat and its own unique texture like this. Maybe stretches over it like this. Yeah. And these parts will be like this. And after you put these details, zoom in and try to add much more light effects in it. 14. Painting Realistic Glass, Complete Illustration: Because it is glass and it really have good amount of brains and the tail. Yeah. And maybe we can even add much more we brains light reflections here. Depends on the it changes, depends on the shape. But normally, we have so many light source. It is reflected. I reflects the lights around. So we need to make it really detailed. And for example, if it is wet, you can make lidel particles here like this or give it much more glass look. And you see things beyond it. It is just glass, and it is like you see things in it like this. You can use eraser for give it this ilition to make it much more deep. And now collect the old layers, but before it, open new layer under it. Zoom in here and paint lights. Yeah, I like this. And maybe like this. And you can use eraser to make this illusion much more smooth. And what we're going to do is open another nav layer with a smooth line. Let me find it, this one, and we'll paint it like this directional lights like laser lights. And after this, go to the layers and select Gaussian blur and give it a bit much more blu. And, okay, now I will select the smooth brush and we increase the lights highlights. Because it reflects the light, and we have colors in it and light reflections and many more. Just like this. But it will be like smooth. Yeah. Maybe a bit yellowish colors to increase the light here. And we can put light here also, like reflections. But in it, you can put small particles flaying over it or give it a realistic look because there's dusts in the painting. It is not flat and it have dusts and different kind of things in it. Then collect layers and duplicate the layer and invert the heart mix. Then make it a low, a bit, much more low. And it will give us a really good amount of detail. But for now, I will not use it and go to the hue, and I will give a bit much hue and curves, but not much and lights and go to the bloom and give it a bit bloom like this. And maybe not so much, okay, it works like this and zoom in again. And I will add a bit much more small details, and I will finish this illustration and hope you enjoy this process. Yeah. Thank you for joining me. M.
