2. Procreate Gallery Basics: Welcome again. This is
the Procreate gallery. If you open Procreate, you will see only
this tab in procrad. For example, if you hold this and withholding
your two fingers, move it to the
middle and swipe it to bigger or smaller size, you can open it or
preview it and drop back. And at the right top, you will see the
new Cavas options. You can use the
manual one or create your own Covas with this
we top plus button, and you need to select
the wild and height, and DPI should be style
like this because it is really great for
digital painting. And I use the color profile
at the SRGB because display a the first one display P three makes the painting so we brand and it's optimized
for the iPads. So I want to everyone see the right color at the
Android or Windows devices. So I selected to SRGB, and you can play
with the quality of the time lab settings here
or with these properties. Thanks again and see
you in the next step.
3. Procreate Layer Basics: Welcome. In this part, we will talk about layers. Layers is similar to
transparent papers, like the only painted area will be visible at
the searchin layer. For example, I
opened tree layer, and we will paint the red square at
first, just like this. And maybe green one under it. And orange one at the layer one. So basically, if you check it, the red is in the top, and it covers all other layers. And if I move it with the
move tool and hide it here, it will be hidden. And if I make it here like
this, it will be under it. And if you hold with your
one finger and swipe it, to the hold and move it. I'm shifting it here at the top, and now it is on the top. And for example, if I
want to make it delate, swipe your finger to the left. And in this menu, you can duplicate or delate. I will select the late. And you can on off with
this tick here to layer, make visible or unvisible. And if you click this button, you will see advanced settings for you can play with
the layer mode like some of them making your
layer much more vibrant and some of them makes your
layer much more darker. And the normal one
is the default one, and opacity is how
transparent it is. For example, if I make it zero, it will be non visible. And if you want to only
paint the selected area, like I want to only
paint this red circle. So have one time to do layer
three, select Alpha log, and you will only paint will be able to
paint this pixel area. And in this menu, you can invert to
color or masket. Mask works like this. I will duplicate it, and I will make it like this
and make this mask. And if you paint the
masket area with black, it dilates it like masking it. And if you paint
with white again, it makes it visible. And the other part, if you select the clipping mask, it will only affect
to the under layer, like it is connected to it. For example, I painted here. It only affects the painted area like this area
because it is masked. If I open another live
layer and clipping mask, it will only affect
this layer and you can always change the
layer mode of it. And if you want
two layers group, you need to swipe your finger to the left for selection
and select group. And you can rename or
ungroup it or flatten it. Flatten it makes the layers combine and makes it one layer. But after it, you can't
make them separate again. Thank you again for
joining this part.
4. Procreate Interface Basics: M Welcome again. In this part, we will talk about quick shapes. Basically, quick shapes is
easier way for create lines. For example, I painted one line like this and I hold my pencil. Then it creates a really
great amount of arch. For example, if I paint
much more line like this, it creates really perfect line. And if you press with your other finger while
holding the pencil, you can rotate it like much more effectively,
like clockwise. And like it is 19
degrees and like this. And if you paint circle like this and hold, it makes ellipse. But if you hold with the other finger while
holding the pencil, it creates perfect circle. And you can tap here and
you will see these options. You can play with the
shape and edit it. And for example, if I
paint square like this, and I hold the other
pencil like this. It creates perfect square, and you can change the
shape easily like this. Polyline is much more
free form of it. And basically, it
is quick shape. And let's talk
about the gestures. For example, if I
paint line like this, but I didn't like it, tap two secren with two finger. It makes undo. If you use
three finger, it's redo. Three finger is redo. Redo and two finger is undo. And if you tap with forefinger, it makes full screen,
just like this. And for B, again,
tap with forefinger. And if you swipe your
forefinger or 1 minute. Yeah, if you swipe with your
three finger left to right, quickly, it clears all layer. Just like this. And if you
press with your fingers, it opens the color picker. And if you use your
two fingers and I mean three finger and pull
your fingers down together like three
finger down like this. It creates this tab, and it is the quick tab for cut, copy all duplicate
cut paste and paste. Basically, it was
the quick shapes and gestures and see you
in the next video.
5. Painting Concept Art; Sketching Scene: Welcome. In this part, we will paint basic
concept art in procreate. At first, I selected this
blue color for my background. And I will use different
kind of brushes like maybe a bit white tons at some grounds for make
it much more Air, for example, these parts
will be not flat color. So I'm adding much
more colors here for create it much
more realistic air. And after it, I will start
to paint grass and for it, I will use some textured
brush and at first, do not rush into any detail. Just try to be
experimental and think, like, much more simple
and try to put the forms. For example, this part
will be much more lighter here and maybe another grass textures here
will be much more appear. And this part will be dark
maybe just like this. And for away, I want
to put some mountains And it is at the faraway, so we need to make it much more less visible,
just like this. And maybe we have
one house here. Like at this place, we have house just like this. Like village and top
of it we'll have the texture like this
and this part will be darker and maybe have the details here,
just like this. And maybe we have
another building here under it and much
more bigger here. Here just like this. And this part will be
darker, just like this. And at faraway, there
can be different kind of building ser like covering the area. And I will add some dirtier, like. At first, we design it how
it looks and after it, I will go to gradient
map and we'll play with the gradient to make
it much more scannery. Yeah, this is much more good and I will play with
the curves and make it much more dramatic here and we'll add some extra colors
and well down the brightness. After it, we need
to paint the tails. I open another new layer and I will go over here and
play with the color.
6. Painting Concept Art; Adding Colors: Yeah. And we have
the door of it, just like this and maybe some, like this. And another top here have another building here like Hessel maybe, and we'll increase the
detail level here. Yeah. Maybe we have some
smoke comes out from this part and let's
start playing with the grass. I will play with the grass
here a bit much more. Just like this. And I will increase the
detail level of the grass. This part will be really
detailed here, just like this. Yeah. And some
grasses here can be much more bigger and darker for give it a really
realistic look. And I will play
with colors here, and I will select the much more vibrant
color to make it like a wet effect in here. And maybe we have one tree here just like this. Yeah. And after these details, I want to make this
place much more visible because it is really dark and we need some
lights over here. For example, it can down here
like this and like this. With these colors, I'm defining how the light reacts to places and I will go to the adjustments
and I will give a bit, much more noise for
make this again much more dipped and glitch no, no, not glitch, sorry, chromatic abrication a bit for make it much
more interesting. And now I will select
smooth shading brush and will open another nive layer
with screen layer mode and we select a bit
much more discolor and we apply here like this. This effect give us a really
good vibrans and we can use it as a light source and build our details
much more quicker. Just like this. And maybe we have
one character here, like at this place, maybe.
7. Adding Details: Yeah. And I will make it much more smaller and will
play with the shape of it for make it much more adapt to the
screen just like this. And we also play with
different kind of brush for make it much more
interesting just like this. Yeah, I like this. And I will put one soldier here just like this
and zoom here. And as you can see, we need to make this part much more small and maybe here. Okay. And this part will be like this. Yeah. It is better
right now, right? And comes like this. It is in the shadow, so we will not see her details, but we can play with some details or make
it much more visible. For example, it can have
helmets like this and maybe some dark armor
details here for make it a bit interesting and Yeah, maybe one plex here,
just like this. And I will open
another new layer and we give a light to
our soldier here. Maybe a bit yellowish. Light comes from here. Yeah, just like this. It is looking really
nice right now. And maybe we can put
much more figures here. And the four figures
will be less saturated because of the colors, maybe some figures here like
this together waiting for the soldier or something and I combine the layers
together and go to the curves. And I will play
with the curves a bit much more for make the skin much more realistic and zoom in here and now
it is the fun part. We will paint the soldiers
helmet just like this. It will be much more
detailed in the stage. We don't see her face because it is look towards the backwards. But we can see maybe, like, Barbut look for
helmets like this. And some armor details here. And we'll put the background
child here, just like this, maybe dark like this and some details over
here, just like this. For horse, we need to define
the portrait of the horse. For example, how the face
of it looks just like this. I will put here much more
details and hair here.
8. Complete Illustration: Yeah, and other details
will be visible like this. Maybe this feed will
be fixed like this. I delete this and
making it much more flat and in the dark because the details of
the horse can't be so much visible here
because he comes from the shadow and okay, maybe we can increase
the small details here. Like grass details. And you can play with
organic brushes here. Like wild grasses maybe
look really nice here. And yeah, it's looking
great with the tail. You can play with the
different kind of brushes or give a really interesting
textures to the painting. For example, I try to play with this or give much more
artistic look here. Yeah, like this. And
maybe Abt allows here. Like flowers here. Maybe this detail, again, can be water, you
know, because, sorry. Because it looks like water. I want to make this water
much more vibrant here, just like this comes like this and some reflections
here, just like this. Yeah, now it looks much
more better, even better. And let's check what
we can do here. Like wood wood
texture we can use here as a texture of this place can be wooden and We can put some clouds. Flames is much more
better for this scene. So we can make some flames here, like this is foreseen, like it is burning
and dangerous here. Like smoke comes over all place
and like, totally worsen. And there will be really black smokes because
everything is messed up. And some particles in
the air like this, and the soldiers, maybe there
is much more soldiers here. Like they would their
commander here, maybe targeting something here. Maybe with row. And many soldiers is here. For example, you can make them like really just silhouettes. But they have some guns here, like or heat helmets, for example, you can increase the details
of this illustration. And thanks a lot for joining this quick concept painting and see you in the next videos.
