Transcripts

1. Intro: Hello and welcome back to draw the vulva. Today I'll be showing you how to design your very own TB Tacoma. We will be using Procreate to do the sketchy liner. Finally, a quick, easy method to color these drawings. Learn how to draw step-by-step today. 2. Sketch: Hello, For the first step of this tutorial, please choose a book a month that you want to chip if phi I used the default brushes in Procreate. So we're gonna go to sketching and then we're going to choose the HB pencil for the sketching phase. I usually like to do a simple blue color. To start. We're going to take this dry. It's pretty cute already, but we're going to chip if phi and simplify it. And it's gonna be similar to the designs up my previous stickers. Some examples. As you noticed while picks this up extra cute. And then let's start with the head shape first. Usually you want the head to be bigger than the rest of the body. So we're going to draw a pretty big Ed. Since this is just sketching phase, you could go a little messier. I'm going to target this just so you can see it better. You don't have to worry too much. And then for the body, I like to scale the body down, maybe not too small, but maybe like 30% smaller. Just so we have a good difference. Then with that done, we can just put in the elements and then size them according to the original dry. So for the ears is pretty big so we can even scale them up just a little bit, just to get them a little cuter. And then as you notice, I'm just trying to very simple shapes. I'm not doing any details yet. You'll want to start really simple with the sketching phase. For the feet are together. Just start simple and just kinda do these two ovals, pretty big feet. I'm gonna make them sit down so the feet are just like pointed forward. It's going to be very similar to this site. They're dry. With that data. I'm just going to add a little knob on the back for the tail. Went, that's done. I should've let the pose where he's holding his mouth. So I'm going to draw in list, I do that. Let me just draw it a little smaller there and then connect to the body. And then this one, just sideways right here. And then we're going to split the face into force by drawing a center line right here and a center line right there. And this is going to help us put all the details in. We're still at the sketching phase, so we could just go in and sketch the eyes two circles using the center of this leg right around here. I wanted to make it even distance from the center line. So I'm just going to do circle here, circle here. And then right in the middle, we have the little cute nose. Then let's sketch in the crescent moon on his head. So Pokemon are a little bark complex, so you have to simplify a lot more. But to start off with the easy one. If you need to. Add in the little circle for the highlights. Let's draw in the muscle which is a pretty simple shape like so. Then the two dark details either side. And then for the fingers are just simplify it by Mickey, a little bit more round. Little toe, toe, toe, toe. What's your sketches done? We could move over to the inking phase. 3. Line Art: Is just so I could lighten up the sketch lines felt like the kind of lighten it. Maybe around 20% just so you can see it. Then we're going to add a new layer on top. You don't want to do it right on the sketch layer. And then we're gonna go and use the inking brush here. Then let's just use a studio pen. See how that looks. That's looking pretty good. Go pitch black for this. Now we're just gonna go through and eat the drawing. Start off with the big stuff first. For the head shape, I'm gonna go maybe around this thick and we're going to actually go all the way around with this ink brush. Tip for Procreate is you hold it for a little bit longer, it will turn into a perfectly round shape. Once you're happy with that, you can let go. I'm just going to erase. Use the eraser and let's go to painting. Let's do flat brush. Just so we have a strong edge. Erase the areas where you don't want that. Just called thorough when you're sketching lines to ink the cuts up, make sure to hold down and wait for a few seconds if you want it to be a little bit more round. Looking pretty cute out the ISP around. So I'm again definitely hold it. Get them to be the same size. Circle it'll highlight. Let's actually fill these in black by dragging me the color for the top-right. Finally, the news. Looking pretty good. Little aren't going to actually start down here, out. Down. Just a little neo detail. Let's try the other arm. We actually want to complete the head to this point. Then we drill other. As you notice, I'm undoing a lot. I'm not the best with clean lines, so you can always undo until you like the line. I need to improve that skill. Trying with a little bit more confidence. But for now, it's a digital drawing seat. Just undo as many times as you want until you like it. This time I'm going to actually put it in front. Sorry, I just need to erase a little bit. First because the toes are good at beginning the lake and then draw the lake right below it. And do the same for the other side. A toast roof of the tail. So you just add that their trial, the face. It doesn't feel as roundness this drawing. So I'm gonna actually use the liquify tool, just this. And we're going to push out a little bit, just share around it out. Just accepted by going to the pen tool. And then let's draw in the crescent moon. The muzzles with just the two pieces. Get it right. I wanted to look that is looking good and then maybe just a little detail right there. Once you're at this stage, we could turn off the sketch layer and then just clean up areas that you can see a little bit of nuances like here, we're going to have to clean up this area. Maybe thicken up some areas like so connection points. It is yours to design your sticker, your style. So at the end of the day, if you don't want to add too thick this, you don't need to. I just like it. That's a preference. Look at real kit. With your line art done, we're going to actually get it ready for coloring. Sudden the next step we're just going to color it. 4. Color and Paint: For coloring, it's very simple. We're going to actually use procreates feature, which I use this as a reference. This is going to make the liner a reference. So anytime you put color in OU's the lines of the outline. So we're going to add a new layer. We're going to cheat and just select the color from the image and just use our pouring tool. Make sure you have a new layer. This is a reference, so you want to use a new layer on top to do the porin. I like to do one color per layer. And you notice when I pour this in, it went into the cheeks. It's because there's a little gap here. To fix this. You just go into the original drawing and then just close that gap. Go back, select the color. And then it was one-color is done. Let's move on to the next color with a new layer. Pick this yellow. Pretty easy. And I have one more for the Paleolithic. Pretty easy. And then actually one more for the white, Double-click on the top-left to get the white. Then we're just going to fill in the white spots. Sometimes you could use this with the color fill automatic and then you could just chlorophyll it by tapping the areas should fill it. As you can see here, it didn't fill it and then I'm missing a little bit of orange area down here. What else are we missing? Weren't missing that dark areas. I'm going to actually add that to the liner area. Actually. Let's do a little dark brown just so it's not pitch black. Like so. Let me kinda adjust this because it is a little too dark for my liking. So I'm just going to make it a little lighter, a little baby. Don't want to stray too far away from the concept. Then a final step, we're gonna do some color path. I like to keep everything pretty simple. Again, add a layer and you're going to click the Layer angle Alpha Lock. Actually not Alpha Lock, and do that. Where do I go clipping mask. And this is gonna allow us to paint only where the color is available. We clipped it to this orange area, so we're going to now color it with only the orange area in my go to painting and then just select it. Let's just flip. Any brush would work. Let's just do a flat brush. Inhale up just a little bit. And now he'd go in and paint. Just paint in the shadow area could be a little messy because we're actually going to use a blending brush to blend it out. Try the blending brush. It's just gonna be a brush. Let me just get to use soft palate. Then it's going to smooth everything out. Hide all the little imperfections. Rarely simple. And let's go a little darker and then scale, see if there's any other brushes. Maybe this was that bad. Medium brush. Go in details much as you want. The clipping mask will allow you to just paint within the lines really easily. Just amping up some details. Going just a little saturated on the transmission line. Just to see how it looks. Not a big fan. So I'm just gonna use the full heavy brush to blend it a little away. Once you're done with that, let's just move on to the next color. And then 15 years, same process we're gonna go. I didn't go there. Clipping mask. Make sure you're on the new layer and then just select a little darker color and then we're getting color in the shadows. Very simple process. It's very clean too. Like you don't have to worry too much about cleanliness since he had the clipping mask to keep you within the life? Family? This one maybe a little darker. The more saturation, nice little blending. If it looks too dark or too harsh. Do it for the blue brown area, just a little darker in the shadow areas. Finally, the whites. I personally don't like to go to gray. I like to just use a subtle little blue, maybe even lighter than business as a shadow for white. Just to keep the saturation vivid. This is blended to soften it up. Finally, let's color in the liner. To do this. Just so it's not just to pitch black. So we're gonna add a new layer and we're going to go clipping mask on the liner itself. Let's select a pretty dark color because we want the line art to show. We're just going to color everything brush, and then just start gaining some areas where you want the lights be a little darker and then you get lighten some areas where you think it should be later. Softly. This should give it a more soft look to the liner. I think the eyes could be a little brighter. Say what the news I personally like to do. I'll highlight path. So we're going to add a new layer. We're going to go back to inky select maybe a pretty fat pen. If you don't have one, you could just make this one is just gonna be, this one actually is a little too fat. So let's go to studio pen. Scale this up, see what it looks like. It looks fine. Just going to go a little lighter layer on top of everything. And just do these highlight shapes. Actually, maybe even one more highlight for the eyes. Q. Really bright for this, you can see it. There you go. Hey, method to typify your favorite book when I'm drawing. Now you can take this design, turn off the background saved as a PNG. Actually, let me see you save as a PNG and create stickers with it. I have a few more examples of six cubed stickers I like. Here's a pretty cute little site up. Little cute statue. Actually. Now that I noticed there's a white outline, we can actually add that in. 5. Final Thoughts! : We're gonna actually do a copy canvas. Go here. Go to Canvas. I actually go to Ad Copy canvas. Then we're gonna go paste. This is going to copy everything on the Canvas and paste it on top. We're going to duplicate this. So we have one on top. And then for this one again and actually go hue and saturation, brightness all the way up. We're going to make it pure white. Palsy and blur. Go a little bit out. Maybe that much. We're going to actually use select Automatic on the outside. We need to call them blur it just a little bit more. Actually. Just duplicate it. To get a little bit thicker. We're gonna use select under the colorful automatic. See that works. Go invert to a new layer. We're going to fill it in with the white. Turn off the audio. You notice that it only did the white outline right here is because we actually haven't turned off the reference for ink or line art. So we got actually turn this off before we do this process. We're gonna use this and let's just paint everything. Then. Now let's turn off the Gaussian blur. Hopefully it should be a little bit. Let's see what I did wrong. Let's delete. This is the Gaussian blur image. It's a little bit outside, but we just need to harden. Let's just duplicate it a few more times. Unless do a selection toy again. You want to select the middle and then expand it out. Again, a paint that all white. Maybe even more, paint it all white. And there you go with the Gaussian Blur layer. Do that real quick again, hold this, invert it, and we got to actually erase everything else. Just so we don't have any loose pixels. There. You have it. You're a little sticker is ready for printing, cutting with any machine or you could just use sticker meal. But yeah, it was how the process I use to create this little sticker designs.
