Procreate Practice - Design A Ticket

1. Intro: B. Say, Wow. Wow, that go. Are you also tired of having like 6 million photos on your camera roll and not having anything on your wall reminding you your memories? I've got you. In this class, we are going to design a ticket or a pass where you can include some images and drawings of yours or photos that you wish to, you know, mark and remember a display on your wall. I got this idea from collecting festival tickets when I was a teenager. And right now I'm traveling a lot, but I'm not keeping the tickets, and I have those millions of photos on my phone. So what we are going to do in this class is that we are going to choose our topic. For example, festivals you visited this summer or the places you traveled to this year, and we are going to design a very simple ticket. I will guide you through the whole process of creating it, and you will have the artistic freedom to customize it and make it your own. And I will, of course, show you some pretty cool tips and tricks in procreate that will help you during this process. And by the end of the class, you will have your pass in your ticket that you can display on your wall or give it away as a present. Designing this pass could be very, very nice when you are gifting someone an experience, for example, a trip or wellness treatment or anything, you know, and you are not giving digital tickets or I don't know, printed ones, but one that you illustrated. And it will not take a lot of time. It will be like the 30 minutes Max. And hi, if you don't know me, my name is Alexandra, A K&D art Mother. I'm an artist, illustrator, online educator, and a professional art teacher with a master's degree in art education. And my superpower is making complicated art topics, easy for beginners and coming up with random creative ideas from nowhere. Okay, so if you are ready, what you will need is your iPad, 30 minutes. And yeah, let's just get started. 2. The idea: Alright, so welcome to the class. In this video, I would love to talk to you about how you can use this illustration and what is the purpose of it? So as you can see, this is a ticket design, and you might ask, why should I design a ticket? And where I thought of two different things when it can be very appropriate to create such a design. So, for example, when you want to capture moments of your life or when you want to gift. And let's give an example. So maybe you attend a wedding or an event at a festival or concert or concert at serum. You, you know, have your camera full of images, and they get sometimes lost, et cetera. I think designing such a ticket, remembering, you know, the date, where the festival or the event was, and adding some core images that you've taken at that place and putting this onto your wall and maybe even collecting this because this is such a very quick project, you know, I will take you like half an hour to create a pass like this and I think it can have a very human touch that we are missing lightly, you know? With all the AI generated things, you can just put in effort to your own memories. I think that's beautiful. And when gifting, um, Again, we have everything digitally in emails with QR codes, et cetera. You can include a Qre code or whatever is needed for that ticket that you are gifting to someone to an event or to, you know, wellness experience or a retreat or whatever. You can just add a QR code into the design itself, and it can be such a beautiful, you know, act or just you know, the effort that you put into it, it can be so beautiful. So I think the design of a pass or a ticket like this is just incredible. So this is a pass for my character design challenge, but it can be very much customizable. We are going to work with this base design, but you can do it in whatever way, okay? This class focuses on giving the experience of beginners to design a ticket like this themselves. But if you are a pro or if you have more experience, take the shapes and the arrangements of everything to your, you know, like, your way. And we are going to have free different circles in the middle where you can put your images into. Like, you can draw something into them about the event that you are remembering or you can put photos into that if you are comfortable with sharing them, or, I don't know, um maybe if you visited a city, you can just put photos of that city there. So let this be flexible. So your job now is to think about an event that you want to create this ticket for. Is it an event or a trip from last summer, a boat trip that you went into that was on your bucket list, or is it a gift for your parents wellness retreat or is it going to be, I don't know, a collection of the children's drawings that your kid did this year? Whatever it might be, choose one thing that you are illustrating for before you move forward. And now let's see you in the next video where we are going to create the base for our illustration. 3. The Base: Okay, so let's start with the base design, and let's just create a screen sized canvas. Okay. This is the format that we are going to work with. The way that I designed this ticket is that it, you know, fits horizonal I don't know, format, for example, if I'm putting it up on YouTube or Facebook. But if I wish to share it, for example, on Instagram or as a story, I can just, you know, I have the main text in this direction, and I can just turn around the images in these circles, and it can fit that dimension as well. So let's just start by creating a rectangle. So I'm choosing black. I'm choosing sketching pencil from the brush set that I have here, and that you will also get in the resources. But if you are looking for a pencil brush, go to sketching and the six B pencil is totally perfect. Now, I will use the Canvas guide to help me. If I click on the Range button and hit Canvas and turn on Canvas or drawing guide, it will put up this thing that will help me to create a rectangle. So I will start approximately here. And draw a line here and I can just move it around to have it in the middle. I will just select it and approximately put it into the middle. I'm counting the squares, one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five squares from the top and the bottom, two squares from the side. This is where I'm going to draw the other end as well. Yeah. Now I can just connect Okay. This is the base. I want this part to be the part that can be teared down. So I guess one, two, three, four, five, six, seven squares in. This can be drawn here. And basically, this is the base for the ticket, and I can already turn the drawing guide off because I don't really need that. I want this to have kind of like a hand drawn, feeling to it as well, so I don't really want to be too precise, if that makes sense. And the first thing that I'm going to do is to cut these edges off, and I will just draw them in. These quarters to the edges. All four, okay? And they don't need to be perfect. As you can see, I'm holding down, so I'm drawing the curve and I'm holding down. And now I'm getting the eraser and I will just erase these things from here. Okay. Cool. Now, these parts, these sides, we'll have this little di let me show you these ones. This is what we are going to put up there. I will just turn it around and I'm going to draw again. I will kind try to leave out evenly spaced parts. Kind try to make these things the same size. The evenly sized. Okay. And to the other part this way as well. Okay. And now I'm getting the eraser, and I'm going to erase the stings in the middle. Okay. Now I want to add circles to this line. I'm going to use this as a guide, and I will create another layer so that I can place these circles over and I can erase this line behind it. The first thing I'm going to do is to draw a circle here, hold down, and make it a circle so that it is even. I will just duplicate that and put it next to it. Just like that. Now I'm going to merge these two together and again duplicate. I will place it again here. As I have snapping turned on here, in this menu, the moving menu, move menu. It is snapping it together. Now I can merge these two layers together again and again duplicate. And well I'm almost done. So I will not merge these now. I have it enough right here to duplicate and I have it all like this. I will merge all of them together right now and place them kind of evenly from the sides. I will erase this last one and go to the layer below, and I'm just erasing this line here. And I already have this nice tearing down thing. Okay. Now let's play some rectangles again, and now I'm going to turn on the drawing guide again, and I will go to a new layer just in case. And I want one big shape here and one shape here. You can go more complicated if you wish. But let's just keep that simple here. I will just draw one rectangle here where I will have my circles in and one here. Okay. Now, I'm going to do the exact same thing I did the first time. So I'm going to just create a smaller curve here. Okay? Kind of following the curve that is up there. I'm in here. But it will just soften the shape so much. I don't need to do that here because it is in the middle, but at this edge. Oops. I'll draw it at first. Okay. Cool. And now I will create another layer. Draw one big circle here. And if you don't want it to be a circle where, you know, you put the images into, they can be squares again or triangles or rectangles, whatever you wish, okay? I think you will understand the base composition of this ticket, and you are totally free to follow along as you wish. Okay, so I have a circle that I edited, you know, to have it a circle, and I'm going to again, duplicate it and you can place whatever, you know, number of images into it. I'm keeping it free. And as you can see, I again duplicated and I try to keep the same distance between them, and I'm going to select all three, place them kind to the middle and merge them. Alright. Now let's move on to the illustration part. No. 4. The Illustration: And Alright, so it is my turn to think about what I'm going to illustrate this ticket for. And I thought that I have been on a plane this year three times, and I've been to Barcelona to Romania and to Paris. And I'm going to just include some photos there and I don't know, say travels 2025. And yeah, so let me just create another layer and I will just write here. Barcelona. Mm Transylvania and Paris. Yeah. Yeah, I know these are cities, and this is a part of a country. But yeah, I was traveling around in an area there, and, yeah. So let's just call it that. So I will write Travel 2025, I will maybe at a plane here with some This looks weird. This is a fish. Okay, time to draw a plane. I'm sorry. So maybe, like this? Yeah. So elements I will add. Yeah, and Oops. I don't know. What to Write here, maybe I will just write. Yeah. Travel. Okay. Cool. So let's get into it. I'm going to continue using this color palette that I've used before. I'm going to share this in the class resources. And what I want to do now is to, you know, just connect all these layers so that I have it as a one layer sketch. I will create a new layer below it, and I will lower its opacity. I will choose the base color for my ticket, and it is going to be this dark purple. And I'm going to choose from my brush set M the clean shaper. I'm going to just really quickly fill in all the shapes and then move on from that. So let's get into it. I will turn off the drawing guide because it is bottering me. So I have the base shape. I will create another layer and add the inner shapes, and those will be lighter pink for filling them in. Okay. And I think that I will choose the slighter color and fill this one, this shape with it or maybe the slighter yellow. Yeah, the slighter yellow looks better. And what I think is, I will erase these circles. So the way that I'm going to do that is actually, I will just go here. I will create another layer, choose white and the clean shaper. Because if I just erase, let me just show you. If I just erase, it might not be even in every segment. I need to spend a lot of time to erase these circles evenly. If you wish to do so, you can just simply erase these circles or from the ticket. But there is another way. If you create another layer and choose the clean shaper and just draw a circle. Me. I will you need to just draw a circle once. Sd down and the circle, fill it in. It is pretty cool. I will adjust the edge a little bit from the bats. I can do the exact same thing I did with these circles. I will just put it here. I will duplicate. Now, I have four. And when we have four, we can just duplicate those. And as you can see already, it is not that even. But whatever. Okay, I will duplicate it again. Okay, and duplicate it again. Like this, I will just erase it from the side and I will merge this all together and find a better place for it. Now hit select for the layer of these white circles. Choose the layer behind free finger swipe and cut. Now you've cut these shapes from this shape, if that makes sense. Now I can just delete these circles and I have now it cut from the original shape of the ticket. I can see that it is not that even. If I'm right, something's weird about these circles, but it will be okay for now. I can do the same with these bigger ones. I will create another layer, choose the clean shaper, and just, you know, draw a big shape, hold down, make it a circle. I will make it fit. I will bit by these edges because it can be very much, you know, not even. Okay. I will make it a bit smaller and again duplicate. And again, duplicate. All right. Merge them together, select and now I need to cut it from this top layer. Basically, I can place the photos behind it. I will just select that, three finger swipe and cut. Now I can just delete this. We have the free circles. All right. We have the base for the illustration. Let's move on and add a little background before we work on the details. S you there. 5. The Background: All right, so let's just work on the background. And for the background, I'm going to choose this darker brown color. And I will choose this light yellow. And from the brush set that you will get, you will get the brush that has this tree texture. Choose a tree texture, brush, a lighter color, create another layer over the background color, make the brush big and add a tree texture over this dusk. And yeah, maybe it is too yellow, so I will just lower the opacity of this layer. I will create another layer over it because we are going to add a drop shadow. And for that, I will duplicate the layer of the overall shape of the ticket, select the lower one and choose black color. Select the layer that is below, hit Select and hit fill layer. And now you fill the layer below with black, and now I'm going to move it. I will move it a bit to the side, as you can see that. Can you see that? I moved a bit to the side. Now I'm going to go to Adjustments Gauchenbler, and I will gauchmblur this layer a bit. This will create the effect of a shadow, but now it is a bit as if the ticket was floating just about the dusk, because it is very harsh. So I will just push it a little bit back like this. Okay. And maybe I can just lower its opacity. So it is more natural, just like this. Can you see that? So the ticket is on the desk. And the other thing that I've done with this pass if you take a look at it, and you can see that I have a different color in the background, but that one just works fine. I added this shadow as if it was lit from the side. So let's just do that. So I create a layer on top, keep the black, and now I will choose the drop shadow and make that big. And I will just add that to these sides just a little bit so that it is still lit. We can just do it right now. If I just go and blur this layer, it will look fine. But we can do that a bit later as but when we have the details, but I just wanted to, you know, put these things together now so that we work on something nice. I always love to prepare these things in advance so that it makes me feel just better. Okay, so let's move on to the next video. Now we have the background. We have the light. And let's just add the text and the images. Okay? So my first thing will be adding the images. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Seeing the next video. Mm. 6. Adding The Images: Uh All right. So first things first, I will import the images that I want to include here. So I will create another layer between the two layers. The base layer and the top layer and hit add and insert a photo. So here is Barcelona I just cut it part that it makes sense and looks good, and I will just erase everything that goes out of the circle and shows Cool. I'm at the Transylvania. I love this airport, how it looked like, and how it, you know, writes there. So I'm going to erase this part as well. And the Eiffel Tower, as well, like this. You know what I'm going to put them onto layer and go to adjustments and hit color balance and play a bit with colors. Or what I can do is to click on that layer, hit adjustments and hit gradient map. And it will create like these incredible color variations from these photos that you can choose from. So it is gradient library, it is mystic. It is breeze, it is instant Venice. It looks good. I love the blaze one, so I will go for that, but you can just explore different variations so that your images are cohesive, as you can see. It looks super amazing. Can you see that? I love it. Okay. Now I will create another layer on top to create an edge for the circles. So I will choose this slide, yellow, the clean shaper, and I will just create a circle. Okay. And I will duplicate that and just place it next. So that it fits. Okay, and again, duplicate. And place it here. Cool. I love what it looks like. All right, so now we have the photos. Let's move on to the next video and add the text. 7. Adding Text: Now, let's add the text. So I'm going to hit at at text, and I will just write Travel. And, you know, you can download fonts. From the Internet. I already downloaded several ones. So I have my favorite ones. For example, this one, and I will just show you in a second how you can download a phone. All right. So if you go to 1,000 onefons dot, come and go to the search and hit commercial free. I will give you thousands of amazing fonts that you can import into your iPad and into Procreate so that you can you know just create amazing things. You can just choose hand freedm from the keywords up there and you will have some really cool commercial free fonts. What I love here, let's say this blow brush, I will just download and I will hit Download and it's downloading. So if I click up here and click on the brush, I will unzip it by clicking on it. I will open and here defines the OTF or TTF. If I click on OTF, I will just import that one. A. I'm back at my illustration. I will create another layer just in case. I hit Add and I hit Add Text. Now when I'm here, I will hit this AA and I can import font. And I can just, you know, here is the recently used. I will just hit blow Brush, and I can just import that. And it is importing. So if it is imported, I can just find it here. Here is the blow Brush, and I can start writing. And I have text here. I can just hit at the text and select and just write Travel. Travel. And I will write here 2025. Oh, this is a cool font that I found here. I would just write it here. Cool. And I will again, add in at text. I will just write show keyboards. I will just write bar Salona I will put it here. I can just duplicate the text, so it is the same size. I will place it here. Place in here and addit text, and I will just write tren sill minia Sonia. And the third one added text, and I will write perps. But it is here. And well, it looks cool. I can duplicate the text of the travel 2025, and I will select the text. I mean, Mm. And I will change the color. Make it smaller and oops and place it there. Okay. Okay. And what's left is adding some details, and let's do that in the next video. 8. Adding Details: Alright, so at first, I will just turn off this sketch because I don't need that. I love to add texture. So I will just go to the base shape I will alpha lock these two base shapes, okay. And now I will choose this darker version of that color overaly and choose the texture brush. Make it big, and I will just go through the whole base shape. I will just show you what it does. Like this. So that is not that digital. Can you see that? It added kind of this coloring here? I will go to the stop one and choose this middle color and just go through that as well, this shape. And for this shape, I will choose this darker one and yeah, just really lightly go through it and we have some textures. You can play with the phones, you know, you can add a drop shadow to them. Only thing I'm going to do is to create another layer, choose this light yellow and the clean shaper and I will just play a bit add this line here a little bit of floral elements that I love to add to my ofix it represents, you know, this journey that I had basically where this stops here. And I'm not drawing a plane. I can't even sketch a plane right now. But whatever so you can just add whatever you like to decorate this amazing ticket. I love to add these little stars here and there. I have a stamp brush for them, but it is just cool if we just have it like this. You can add your logo if you wish. And I will just choose this one and add some fun stuff here and there. I will, like, erase some things that are overlapping. Yeah. It looks super cool. I love it. What do you say? I love how the colors work together. I love these free pictures. I just remember when I took them. And this when I was sitting on the beach. This was when we arrived to Transylvania, and this was when we were, like, walking through the city. And this little thing just means so much to me. And I just added, I don't know, like 30 minutes of art into it, and I can just really, you know, save it, share it. I can put it into my story. You know, you can just turn it around and turn around the pictures or just share it like this, like whatever. I hope that you like this project and I can't wait to see what you create and yeah, happy creating. 9. Final Thoughts: Oh There I go. Wow. Congratulations. You finished the class. I'm really proud of you and I can't wait to see what you created. So make sure to upload your pass into the project gallery so that it is displayed and we can see whatever cool stuff you created.
