Shading a semi-realistic Bonsai Tree in Procreate 5x

1. Introduction: Welcome to the third part of drawing bonsai trees. Now this is going to be a totally different class than the previous ones. What we're gonna do is we're gonna do some semi realistic shading in a previous class is showing you how to do it really cute trees and hedged and bring in some light and shadow for that. But in this class, we're going to just take it up a notch and start shading with our Apple pencil in a totally different way. And the end result will weep. And we have a really beautiful semi realistic shaded trick. First of all, we're going to draw the tree. I'm going to show you some ways how to really capture treat acute way, but in a very realistic way. Sps, bonsai trees. Once we've kept it, the tree and drawn it, I sketched, we're going to look to shading, shade with a pencil in, Procreate. What do we pay attention to? How does light and shadow work a little bit, and how can we bring that in really consensus. And once we're done, we're gonna do a project. In the project video. There's even an extra part, bringing in a nice background. Really making this look like as if we run it with graphite. And that's what we want in this class. A nice drone, semi realistic tree in graphite. But yet, well, that's it for this introduction. Go to the next lesson, I would say it, but we're going to really start drawing and have some fun with Procreate. Use it perhaps total different way than you're used to, but it will really enhance your procreate skills. See you in the next lesson. 2. Preparing the Canvas & Drawing Tips: Welcome to the first lesson. We're going to start with setting up our Canvas, preparing our drawing. Then the next lesson we're going to shade. But first of all, we need to do some preparation, so let's do that together. What I want to show you first this a little bit, what we're going to work on. What we're going to work on. This, this is graphite drawings, so this is with pencil and a semi realistic bonsai tree, and this is what we're after. Now, we're going to see how far are we going to get in Procreate. I'm not going to say that we're going to have this exactly, but we're gonna give it at least a try. I've already set up Procreate. And what I want to, first of all, is a new document and I'm going to work in a square. If I take this picture again, this pretty much would fit in a square. So I'm going to set up a new square and I want my square to be around 3 thousand pixels. I would say, if case I want to print it, I'm going to say 3 thousand pixels is nice, free thousand by 3 thousand. You could go 2500 pixels student. It would give you some more layers. What we're not going to use that many layers anyway. So that maximum layers is now on the 12th here to DPI, I leave on 300s of color profiles and everything on this leaf as they are. And I'm going to say Create. So this will be my canvas. So my canvas is ready, but I can't draw yet. So what I'm gonna do, this, I'm going to show you three ways how to draw. I'm actually not going to draw the tree. I'll leave that up to you. So in the next lesson, we're really going to shade and not focused on drawing. We've done that in the previous lessons. But I want to show you some little tricks and tips to help you to draw. Okay, let's do that. So what we are going to work on the street, and I've supplied a photograph of the tree nut off this drawing but of the actual, actual tree. So I need to get that tree onto my paper. Now before we can start drawing, we need to know what we're going to draw with. So for that we need a pencil, we're gonna go all the way down. I'm not sure where you are in your brushes. All the way down. You find the standard brushes from procreate. We're going to pick sketching. I'm going to use that dormant pencil. The next thing I need, of course, is a color. For that. What I'm going to do, I'm going to slide this one all the way to the red one on a nice warm tone. This little one here, I'm not going to go all the way downwards black, move it up a little bit where it gets gray. That's a nice color around here. A grayish tone, I would say perhaps even. Now that's good. So get a warm, nice, warm gray tones. Now with this pencil, what you can do, normally you will draw like this. You get that nice line and as you can see, I've cut this size all the way up to get a nice line. But the second thing you could do, let me demonstrate it again. Clear this layer seems to be a line on it. Clear. Let me demonstrate that. I'm going to draw just a little square, and I'm going to have that square like this. The second thing you can do with this pencil, instead of holding it upright, you can tilt it. And when you till it is going to shape for you. So you're gonna get something totally health and we're gonna make use of debt. Now if you shade very lightly, hardly press, you don't have to press it all. You get this nice shade if you press more. So you get a nice black, darker one if you go over it again very carefully. When a new when lifting the pencil go over it again, you get a darker one and we're gonna make use of that. To make it ourselves easy. We're probably going to put our opacity down so that we can shade really lightly. And then put on some nice layers like this as if we were shading with a real pencil. Alright, I'm going to clear this again, so that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make use of the pencil. So tilde it. And as you can see, I'm holding it now. Normally you would hold it like this writing. I'm holding it differently. I'm just letting my pencil rest on this part of my hand, putting my middle finger under it, securing it with my pointer and my thumb like this. And I'm sliding it all the way back. That way I can just let it rest and I'm not pressing at all. I'm just letting it slide that do gravity, do its job. And if you go over it a couple of times you get this. Okay, I'm clearing this, that's just the beginning. What do we need is that tree. Now you can do this in two ways. Normally, probably what you see most teachers do is they're going to have a second window next to it. Nowadays with iPad OS, if you have the newest version, you can just press on here, there's three little dots there. You might see them. If I press on them. Now I have this 11 window, I want to Windows. And what I want is my Calorie. And I want that tree, this tree we're going to need. So the first thing you could do is you could put them together like this. And also, or the other way around wherever you want. And the first thing you could do, you could just sketch this outline and look at the tree and sketch it all the way as set. I'm not gonna do that. And then we would have a stem there and sketch it. That will be the first way you could sketch that way. Sketch it yourself as we've done in the previous parts. Sketch it, make the outline. You only needed the outline for this. So not all the details, just the rough outline, but there are more ways to do this. I'm going to remove this again. So most people will do it like that. Now. I normally don't do it like that because procreate has a great feature called reference. You go to Canvas, click on the wrench, go to can say reference, press Image, import image. I'm going to import that same image. And now I have the reference that I can put anywhere I like. I can enlarge it. I can zoom in, I can zoom out. I could do whatever I like with this reference. And that makes it a lot easier. So let's get it in an hour. Could do actually the same, just sketch it as done with here. There you go. Now not as rough bit nicer. But there's a, another way you can do this. So this would be just catching from what you see. Now that might be tricky. There's a second way we can do this. I'm going to clear this one and I'm going to remove this Kansas for now, this extra reference. What I'm gonna do instead is I'm going to press again on the ranch. And then as you see here, drawing guide. And I'm going to switch it on. When I switch on this drawing, either get a nice grid. Now this grid is too small for me. What we're gonna do, we're gonna do edit that. And if yours is it on grid, yours might be on perspective, which looks totally different. Make sure it is done on 2D grid. The opacity is around 36%. That's fine with me. I'll do like the color, black is good. The thickness, you can change. I've got 64 per cent, you can do thicker, you can do. I think that fixed 64 per cent will work nicely. The grid size, I'm going to enlarge. This is too small. You can go really small. Work. I want to go a bit larger. I would say for this canvas, Two 122 picks. I would say that is nice or do I even go? And I'm gonna go even a bit larger. Let's go to this. There you go, around 300 picks and you're going to say done. Now I changed, now, didn't hit the done, I change the color. If you do that per accident, just hit on this line here. This is the color you can make your reference any color you like. I'm going to keep it black. And I need to exactly hit that, right to keep it at black. I'm going to say, done. What we're gonna do next. We're gonna say hits on the ranch chicken, say adds an Add, insert a photo. I'm going to insert a photo. I'm going to actually want a surprise. Insert a photo I've got. And I'm going to say, first of all, fit Canvas. And I'm going to enlarge it a little bit so that it is in total focus. I needed to put with it fitness. That will be good. Alright, I'm done with that. Good. Now, the only thing what happens now, I'm not seeing my reference because of the black background. So I'm going back to my reference. I'm going to the canvas. I'm seeing edit the guide and I'm going to actually change the color until I nicely see that grid. Let's go for white. Ego can see now nicely see that grid. I might now make it slightly thicker. There you go. That's good. I'm going to the max thickness. I'm seeing a nice grid. I'm going to say, this looks nice. Now, I can't do much with this at this moment. What I'm gonna do next is I need two fingers for this. I'm gonna make a screenshot. Now. A screenshot you can make in a few ways. If you have the pen, what you're gonna do is you're going to slide from this side of the iPads. It makes a screenshot. Now, I don't need all of this with it. So what I can do is my finger, I can move this. You can do that with the pen. Did he go move this one too? And we're going to do that one. And that is good. I want this with this nice grid on it. I'm going to say dumb. Safety photos, good. I've now got a nice grid. The second way you can do this to take a screenshot is to put the power button, boots up or down, press them at once. Click and there you have a nice screenshot two and then you need to edit it afterwards. So let me open. Or you could zoom in. Well, let's edit it. Let's go down. Go to your photos again. I've got it on recent, so there's that picture, you press on it, you say edits. You hit this little figure there, that crop figure. And you can actually do exactly the same. And apparently now I am allowed to do it with my pencil. And you will do the same, say, done here. And it saves it. And I got a nice reference. Alright, I'm going back to Procreate. And I'm going to clear this layer. And we're going back to my drawing guides. And I'm going to say Edit Drawing Guide. I want that color different because now I can't see it. So I'm going to put it back to the black so I can nicely see it. Say Don and I missed it again. Apparently. I'm looking at an angle. That's the whole thing. I'm looking at an angle at my iPad. I'm not sitting on top of it because of right here on top of it, there's a camera. If I move forward, you see my head and not what I'm doing. So I gotta say, Done, hit that. There we go. Now what you could do next is you can bring up the reference again. I'm saying reference, but I need a different image. Now. I'm going to say Import, pick that image with debt grids. And what you could do now is make this larger. And you could do a grid drawing and a grid drawing it is, I've got 123456123456, right there. This square corresponds to this square here. And what I can do now, I can clearly see where that outline goes. Now this one needs to go. And this is called the grid method. And so I would take this part here that will start around here. I don't need to draw all these leaves and just the outline, just roughly, so that will go there. Then the next square next to it would be this square. And that will go there. And as you can imagine, you would go on here. And then this square corresponds to this square. And so on and so on. Alright, good. And then you keep them going and once you're done, you just hide that grid again. Hide your reference and you got a nice drawing. That's the second method. Well, it's not a nice drawing yet, but you're going to make a nice drawing of it. Now there's a third method. I'm going to show you the third method now, alright, default method. I've got to clear this again, is the easy method, probably we've all done this. What you're gonna do is import a photo. You're going to pick that tree. I'm going to enlarge it all the way Fit to Canvas. Makes sure it actually nicely fits the right. Seems good to me. Yes, this seems really good to me. The next thing you're gonna do is press on your layers, put on this n, slide down the opacity, I'm going to do around 40% is good. I can easily see it. And then what you're gonna do now, you're going to add a layer. And on that layer you're going to just trace the outline. And that's it. So we've got three methods now. And if I hide that underlayer, I only am left with the sketch. Alright, and that is deferred method. So we can sketch it freehand. We can use a grid method. And on Skillshare, I've got actually a class explaining that totally in-depth. If you want to learn, they're just find it and see how that is done. But I think with the demonstration, you got that part pretty much enough entered. The third part would be just put it under that treated like artists will do with a light box if they don't want to draw freehand, if they want to draw, don't use the grid method, but have a smaller drawing, one to work really quick, they use a light box, and some artists actually have huge light boxes, A2, A1 size even so, it's not like we're cheating, it's just we're making it herself easier. We want to have that outline. Now pick your methods, then draw this tree only the outline, and then go to the next lesson where we're going to shade. All right, I'll see you in the next lesson. 3. General Shading & the Trunk: If all goes well, you've got a sketch of this tree. Now of only the outline. I've done a sketch. You've done the sketch bit, one of the methods. And how the next thing we're going to do is shade this so that this tree won't look as a drawing, well as an outline anymore and not as in the previous two sessions. Like a really cute three. Now I want to make a semi realistic tree. And for that, we're going to use shading as I showed already a little bit. Alright, well, we're going to explore that a lot more in this lesson. So let's go. So here's my tree. As you can see, I've ordered a few things from the photograph that I need to bring back that photograph canvas so that you can see it. I got still the reference picture there. There you go. If you still have your grid on, make sure you're hiding it now, you don't need it anymore. So I've changed a little bit from the reference. I only use this branch. Let me put it there, put this branch there, this branch. I put the trunk up here. I didn't do all these little branches because then the lesson we'll take just way too long now you can do all those branches of course, but I'm going to do only one branch. And the rest. Of course there's no details in it, only the rough outline. And I did some clusters of leaves so that we can bring in those leaves. I'm not going to shade every single leaf. Gonna do, use a little trick for that, but we're gonna just shade the clusters. So it looks like this tree has leaves, but not every single little leaf. Alright, let me height. Now I am do I want to hide the reference? Let me think. Yes, I'm gonna hide this reference now. You might want to use the reference with it. I'm going to hide it for now so that it won't get in the way. But if you need the reference for shading, just put it there. But I want to have this, of course, full screen and I want you to see what I'm doing. So now I've got one layer here. I'm still using that same Durbin pen. It's a 100% I've colored still on around half. I actually sketch with half to your sketch could well be a lot more dark than that. That's not a real issue you could later, what you could do is lower the opacity of your layer later on if this is really too dark. Alright, but for now, I've got this. I've got still that same color and I'm going to add now a layer. But I want this layer to be on top, the sketch, I want to be on top of whatever I'm doing. And actually what I'm gonna do with my sketch, I'm going to slide this over to the left and I'm going to lock it. There you go, so that I can't accidentally draw on that layer. I'm going to go to layer two where I can draw on what I'm going to start with is the truck. Let's start with the trunk. I'm going to imagine where light comes from. Now, you could use the photograph, but I'm going to imagine where light comes from and my light in this case comes from this site. You go. So that means that light shines there, there and there. And that's simply also means that this side of the tree would be really in full light. If you get a little bit further away from the light, this tree part of the tree would be in less light and this part would have the least light. So in shading, this will be lighter and this will be darker shaded. The same for the trunk. Now the trunk would be really liked it here. Then it would have a pod where it's less light it now that goes around here because this is blocked by those leaves, so that would get dark already and the rest will be pretty dark. Now this little part here on the tree, what I'm going to do with that, I'm going to make a whole lot of debt and I'm going to hide this layer. We might use that later on. And I'm going to add a new layer. So now I've got three layers, you perhaps only two layers. I'm going to start with the trunk. And actually what I wanna do is I want to draw shade the whole tree because the background, I'm going to leave whites, so I need this tree to stand out. And what I'm going to do with that, I'm going to go back to the pencil. I headed halfway, but I'm even going lower with it. I'm going to go till about 25 per cent. The first thing I'm actually going to do is not the trunk, but I'm gonna do the whole tree. And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to put this pencil flat and I'm just going to shade in the whole tree. And what you got to make sure is that you don't accidentally lift your pencil because then you get a second layer on it. And I don't want that. There you go. Now, if yours is turning out a lot darker, that is not an issue because we can just lower the opacity of the complete layer. Diego. And now I lifted my pencil too. Right? Now, this part I need to do carefully. Here you go. There. Alright, now I gotta do to tree. And I'll everything pretty much has the same shading color. But that is not a problem. Now, I see I went outside somewhere. I'm gonna get my eraser and I'm just using as an eraser always just airbrushing hot blends and erase where I've gone wrong on how to sign here. Now if I assume E and Z, you see this nice shading texture. There you go. Let's do the rest two down, and let's shade this part. So that is my first layer of shading. I'm going to add a lot more layers to make this actually very beautiful and quite semi realistic. So we have some more work to do. But this is the first one. Let's keep on going. I'm going to put a new layer on it. The light came from here. We said two, this will be pretty much quite dark, except for the top might still be a little bit light. But the first thing I'm gonna do is give this another application of another layer, in this case of graphite. And shade it nicely like that right there a little bit. Do slit bore. Good, nice and accurate. Bit better. Sum here. Good. Now we're going to look at this and say, okay, down here, where this cluster of leaves, this that will cast a shadow. I'm going to add that in, and I'm going to also on the bottom, add a bit of shading the ego. And I'm going to do the same right here too. That would cast a shadow and we would have a bit of a shadow there. Now on top here, we would get the same a bit of a shadow on it like that. And of course, since the light comes from here, pretty much this part, we're gonna make a little bit darker to write to the bottom a little bit and do it like that. Now look at that. That'll really looks quite nice. There's a dark upon death for some reason. Gonna go back to this shadow. I want this definitely darker than it is. So I'm going to shade it in. And we're gonna do the same right here. And I'm going to say, Oh, that's too much. Correct that a little bit. Right? This I want darker too. And I want to breach this a little bit with one application of shading. And I want to make a nice shaded part there. Let's see. Here we're going to do same. Shade a little bit at the bottom, only. There you go. Now I'm going to put my pencil a variety again and add a little bit of a line like that. There you go. Now, that looks a lot better. Let's see. Do I need something more? Yeah, Once a little bit of shading right there. And I do want this a lot blacker, but probably I can't go much blacker because I got it very light. So I'm going up now to 50 per cent. And by doing that, I can add nice dark parts here. I can add a nice dark part there. This, I'm going to do lightly shade that in a little bit, get a nicer transition between everything. Really make the back nice and dark. And with this, I'm gonna do the same. But now I'm using more the point of the pencil because it is such a small part. And around here. Connect that and do that. Right there too. And carefully shade that in a little bit more. There you go. I'm hardly using any pressure for this. And I might just want to go a little bit more like this. And on the branch just a little bit more. And that will be my first part. I'm going to leave this like this now, I'm gonna do this part. I want to start with this here. What I'm gonna do here, I want to add a little hole in the middle. Put that 100 per cent up, make that nice and black, and go back to my 50 per cent. Then on the bottom, I'm going to add some shading right around to make this stand out as if it is a broken off branch and not which has grown out a little bit. Alright, the next thing I'm going to do is we go back to that twenty-five percent. And we're going to do my first application of shading around here. Now a set around there wouldn't be much. So I'm going to leave that alone, but I do want shading here. I'm going to not touch that cutoff branch. We have. Let's see, I want to extend that a little bit. And around here too. There we go. And I'm going to leave this nice and bright. Now around here, there will be more shade. And there you go. And of course, on top of this, that will definitely be a lot more shade. Alright, let's start to look nice. I want to put this up again to about 50 per cent because I want this to be nice and dark. I'm pressing firm now. And now if the next one I'm hardly pressing to kind of blend in nicely on the edge. I'm going to put a bit more like that, that you go back. I do want that to be shaded darker around there too. And I want these two to meet somewhere. There you go. Now look, that looks great. Now I'm not going to press hard. Just going to add a little bit of a layer on top of it and get a bit of a transition going. There you go. There we got our next part of shading. Alright, now I need to go to this part. What I wanna do is on top of it, add a little bit shading around it a little bit. And what I'm gonna do with this is lower 25 per cent and give the front a little bit of shading and not the back so that it will stand out. The ego. And I might just add around it just a little more and blend this in. A little nicer if there's 25 per cent of that these lines, we have all disappear and become a nicer transition into the rest. Let's do that with this to make a little bit of a transition from one part to the other and they go, no, that looks good, doesn't it? So what we're gonna do next is very carefully add a little bit of shading around that. And if we go outside of the tree, not a problem, we take up eraser, erase this part. And we've got to do that here too. There you go, make it a bit nicer. And that would be the first part. There will be the trunk and the branch. Now, the next thing we're gonna do is add a new layer. And I'm going to put my pencil back to 50% is, do I want this all the way up? That's the wrong one. I'm just messing with my eraser. I'm going to put this to 50 per cent. Probably want to lower this to 50. Now about halfway through, so there will be 26 per cent. And what I wanna do is now bring in some of the bark right away. And for that, I'm just going to draw some lines just as we've done with the previous lessons. At some random lines, do that on the branch two. And by doing that, you just bring in some nice details right away. And let's do that here too. Now with this one, let's even make a little cut here. So I'm drawing this in really dark. Let that slide see, that looks good. And let's do another one. Right there. It larger or even just for a nice effect. And around here some different directions so that you get a nice I did and that was cut off and broken. And there we go. Nice. Okay, now the only thing I want this, put the pen back on. The higher. I just want to go around the bottom here. Ends up there. I want to add just some really black lines. Stego, we can go even darker, right? Nice. Toned down, a bit taller. And there we go. We can do that here to make that pretty much as black as the outline. And there you go. Now, this looks nicely shaded, doesn't it? Alright, good. Will be, that will be the first part which nicely shaded and drone in some details, some details right into the trunk. What you're gonna do is do this, of course, create if you haven't gotten along, I would say do it first before you go to the next spot and then actually move to the next part. Alright, I'll see you in the next part. 4. The Shading of the Leaves: Well, we've done a trunk, we've done the branch. We now wanna do those leaves. We're going to add shading. Basically, we're gonna do more or less the same. I want to point out to you what I'm doing. And then you just kind of follow along. I'll do it afterwards when you've seen it. Alright, let's start. The next thing is we're gonna do these leaves. I'm going to add a new layer for that. And as always, nice to add new layers for that one you going wrong, then I don't have to erase a lot. You just can clear things. And then all what I've done already just is preserved because I really like how this looks. It looks really nice. Alright, good. What we're gonna do is now with this, I've already drawn a simple picture from this and I said, I want this to be dark, I want that to be light. I'm on the rest to be disliked, the rest to be in the middle. But where those leaves are, I'm going to add some dark parts. So what I'm gonna do first is we have to spend on pencil on a 100%. I'm going to slide this back to around 2524. And I'm just gonna start shading first of all, this part and this part, but not touching that part. Now if I hide this layer, you get this idea of shading light here, less light here, and the lease there. But we're going to string from this definitely. Alright. What are we gonna do with this is I want to make a bit of a nice transition. So really I'm not pressing and I'm blending in this just a little bit. I don't wanna do that around here too. Get a bit of a nice natural transition, a bit better than I have. Alright, This is good. Now we're going to do those extra parts. What I'm gonna do is I'm going to shade under these lines of the canopy. I've done off the leaves and I'm going to just shade under it like that. And with that, I'm adding right away a little bit more dimension there to bringing some attention to these parts. There you go. Let's see around here too. There's one way to do it around there. Here's a very short one. Here's one. You've got a bit better and I want to, Alright, good. Now the next thing I'm gonna do is I know that if light comes from here, these bottom parts would be hard initiated. So I'm going to give them a nice darker one. I'm going to go to the 50 per cent. Want to go darker with this. Alright? Now, that is nice. I'm gonna do seem right here. And now that starts to look way nicer. Let's see. Where do I want some more of that? Around here, under here. Good. On the here. The bottom of this. And I see I missed something. They're gonna do it like that. Alright, now here I'm going to add some more shading the ego that it's starting to look at. Let's see, what do we do more under here. Hello, that's too much outside of it. This part, to be a bit darker. I do want that around there to starting to look nice. Let's put this back to about twenty-five percent. And I do want to shade this in a bit more. Definitely another layer here. And do wanna do seem right there. Add that makes it better. I do wanna do that around here too. Bit around there, around there. I've done this part up, undo. Let's do it at the HER2 is add. A little bit of shading here to make it a bit more interesting. There we go. Alright, well, that takes care of that. That looks nice. Alright, now at the bottom, 50%, really at the bottom. I want to go really dark day. You go at that bottom a little bit. This one. This one. As you can see, I'm starting now with these leaves. Small, goal, larger and larger. And nice enlarge here to start small, go larger, larger, and like that. And that brings a nice interests into this tree. Let me do that here, too small, a bit larger here to profusely. All right, around here. There we go. Alright, good. Shade around these buttons here. Too little bit. More to hire. Good. Oh, we didn't do this one. A little bit up there. Alright, good. Now that begins to look quite nice. I'm going to add a new layer. What I'm going to do is now I'm going to bring in the impression of leaves. I'm going to lower this 100%. Let's go for a 100%, just a bit random like this. Now that is better. But now it is. I would say slightly too dark. I got to bring it in with the rest. So I'm gonna go back to those 50%, right? And just give the impression that there's actually some leaves here and there. Especially also on the outside. Just like with the tree trunk, we're just bringing in some interest here and there. And this is really very random. And the more random you can do that or that is to random there. There you go. Go inside, go outside. And that just makes this looks great, especially on pods, where we've drawn something even here. There are two. Let's see, How is that? We need some hair. And obviously, there's hardly anything there. Let's see here. Now it starts to look really nicely like that. That's way better than before. Alright, let's look at this. Okay, good. Now let's see what this pen really going low. Pen, pencil, I'm going really low, 14, 15%. And we want to add a new layer on top of this one. I want to see if I can get a little bit of a more interesting transition there. Yes, it's putting down not much, but just enough here too. To get a little bit of a nicer transition between those lines of fears lines here. Now we could use a blender pen, but then we're just going to actually erase everything we've done. And I don't want that because it blends so much that our texture will be gone. And I want to keep this texture. Alright, I'm using a standard brush, so I'm working with data. It's not really blending, blending as a pencil ward, but still see you get a little bit of an extra HER2. And that, that looks actually a lot better here to adding a little bit of extra length to get a nice soft transition than I do have. Alright, called Dare to, with more. Alright, and now I've added some leaves here and there. So what we're gonna do with those, I'm just going to imagine a couple of more clusters with it. Especially in these lighter parts. I had a little bit of shade here and there. Even there around that one to make it slightly more interesting. Now, we have this obvious line. What are we gonna do it? I'm going to shade that roughly away. See now it's a lot better. Alright, good. And a bit more there. See, now we're getting something nice. Alright, let's see, let's do a little bit still. They're doing it really roughly now. Okay. That's it. See, dislike. We want to Cat this way. A bit more. Few layers on that. A little bit of a nicer transition. Alright, Well, I think I'm pretty much done with these leaves and that looks pretty nice, doesn't it? Perhaps a little bit here and there. Up there to here. It's a nice one. There are some nice one. Good. And we're going to stop with that. That's the leaves. We're done now with the trunk and we're done with the lease. What I'm gonna do now is I'm going to erase some parts where I've gone outside the lines. You can do the same. If you haven't drawn this, of course, she doesn't. It's not really drawing with shading. Now, I want you shaded that. We're going to go to the next lesson where I'm going to show you actually one more part. And then I'm going to leave you on your own for the last bit. So as you can get a little bit of practice and see if you can get the idea and put that into practice yourself. But when are they at? I'm going to show you some more. So I will see you in the next lesson. 5. Doing the Pot and the Floor: Welcome back. We're going to actually finish your drawing. Now I think we're going to finish it in this lesson. I want to show you a few more things that let you do. One part on your own. What I'm going to show it will speed up, piled up so you can still see what I'm doing. Or you could just don't watch it and do it yourself, try it yourself. And then once we're done with that, we're gonna do some final details. And then this drawing's actually done. We are while on the way with it. Alright, let's continue looking good so far, what I'm gonna do next, I want to show you one thing I'm gonna do here. And I'm going to add some shading. Now, if the sun comes from here, as we said, then this tree here would cast quite some shadow on this part. I need a new layer and let me see. I need still that brush, It's on large. I'm gonna go to that. Nope, not 100%. We're not going to work with for 4050 per cent right away. And what I'm gonna do is this part. First of all, let's see, I'm going to give this a nice black line here. And then I think that is good. Alright, that is nice. The next thing I'm gonna do is distri, is casting a shadow and we'll make it myself. Quite easy. I'm going to start at the bottom there. Press nice and heart. Stop there for now. And do it right there. And go up to there. Alright, and now this tree blended in with the tree a little bit as causing a nice shadow there. And it's of course casting a shadow here and we're going to go straight under it. There you go. Now here an angle and show that this is a bit lower. I see that. That looks great, doesn't it? Alright. Now in-between here, I'm gonna go back to that. Twenty-five percent. I'm all for t now, but that's okay. I'm going to shade this a little bit. Then I'm going to shade actually over my tree. I'm going to shade this bottom a little bit. Rights, and want to shade around there. Just a little bit furry roughly. Down here. There we go. I think that is good. Alright, let's get a nice. Now, I'm going to say that this is this part. It's pretty much blocking some lights disbar to blocking sunlight. Then it's of course, on the bottom blocking some light and you're getting something interesting. This is pretty much in full light bottom. I want to add a little bit of shadow around here and a little bit of shadow more around there. So that you get that nice effects. Alright? And I don't want this to take away from the tree, so I'm probably might just stop him. What I wanna do though is go near the tree a bit darker and then transition that into here. So I'm stopping there. Let's see, that is light. I want to add a little bit of her bottom right there. Good. Let's see. Let's add some down the bottom here too. And let's do that a little bit there too. Alright, good. That's it. Now back here, there would be some shadow but not everywhere. Good. And that's it. And I'm pretty much leaving like it is now. Alright, Good. Now, as with the tree, what I want to do is I'm going to add a new layer. I'm, I'm making sure that pencil is on 50 per cent now again. And I'm just going to add some interests as if there's something flowing here on the rocks, down the rocks especially eager, I want that day or two. And just make it interesting right here. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna pretend. I think I did see that in that photo. There might be some grass growing there and just randomly here too. Around these edges, add some lines, some dots. Make it interesting. And adding some random lines there, alright, some longer lines. Creating a bit of texture, rock effect. See enough and up here around the bottom and dare at some lines. And of course around that bottom a little bit. Okay, let's do a little bit there. And see that looks right away quite differently. What I'm gonna do next is I'm going to create that floor and I'm going to shade that part. I'm not going to tell you how I'm doing that. I'm going to speed up part up. I'll leave that up to you to figure it out. But I think by now, probably you got the idea light shadow and about how to shade. If not, then the speed of parties there to really guide you a little bit, except for me talking you through it, right? But I think you'll figure it out. Okay, I'm gonna continue. Now. I've drawn everything, now I've shaded the whole thing. What I wanna do is bring a little bit more excellence onto the pot and the floor two. And then I'm gonna just look it over and see if I'm done with this or not. Alright, let's do that. Okay, so I'm going to add a new layer that doesn't really matter where as long as it is upon the shading, I did the shading of the pot and the floor really down there. I'm going to just add a shape layer somewhere. I've got this pencil steel. I wanna go to the 50 per cent again, sizes on the hunger per cent, that's fine with me. I wouldn't want to do is add some dots on the pot here and there. Just to give it a little bit of texture and dimension. Not totally flat here to dare to, wherever you see it. There are two rides around that edge a little bit, so K, That looks better now on the world, why don't we wanna do is here, just some stripes here on them? I do add few lines on the hair. Even some shorter lines here to why that's standing on, making it nice. Good bit here. Alright, now it looks a lot better. Now let's see. Do I like this? So far I do like it. What I can do now, I don't like the outline that much. What I could do it good to go back to this first layer. I could hide it, see if I now hide my outline. I've got this. Then I noticed a few mistakes right away that I haven't shaded that part. I could also then the height, the floor, and then I'm gonna get, this looks pretty interesting too, except for this part here. So I'm going to correct that. I'm gonna go back to that really bottom layer. There it is. I'm going to put this to that 20% around. And I'm just going to add just a little bit of shading there. Let me hide that top layer now and that improves it right away straight. And Diego, so I've hidden this. Now I want to really do that floor then. Slightly nicer, and I want to make that slightly darker. So I'm going to get a good transition between the floor and the rest. By making the floor darker. I'm making the pot stand out a little bit more. We can do that. Then. I would go slightly darker there. And probably add a little bit of a shaded line right there. Good. Now, Now it's better than I do that here too. At the back. Make that stand out a little bit more from the rest. Okay, good. So now you've got a really nice shade a tree. Now I could bring back the line to unlock it and really go very light C, that would work too. I'm going to around 46%. That works nice. I think I liked that the best. I can do that too with my layer down here. Which one was it 11? She'll bring it back. Go really, really low, around 40%. And now I have something I really like. Bring them back a few of those lines. Correcting my mistakes. Now, I am actually don't think I am done. I like this does good. The shading is nice. Yeah, I'm calling this done. And that is it. I am done. I've got a nice shaded bonsai tree, way different than what we've done before when we did the trees of the hedging bringing the light shadow that way. Now we've done away with the hatching and we've gone shading because Procreate and the pencil allows that to happen too. Alright, well, that's it. Next up is the project. I think it'll be very short and the project, and then we're done. Okay. See you in the project. 6. The Project & the Background: Let's talk about the projects, not a project. I can be really short about history posted. We can all enjoy it. But of course, we can go a little bit further. Let me show you something. Now here's a drawing again, and it is nice, but I do believe this is slightly too white. I want some texture behind there. I'm going to bring my drawing. And my drawing of course, has its own this paper with a texture. And you can also see that the texture really comes through the drawing. So what we're going to try now, we want to try to bring in a texture. So that is the challenge. We're going to just pick. Pick random brush. What are we going to pick? Oil pastel. Sounds great to me. I'm not sure if this kind to work. We're going to try this. Alright, what are we going to do is I want a layer on the bottom of everything, and I don't want that layer strong. I want that brush nice and large because I do think that this might bring in a texture right away. Let's give this a try. I'm going to go for 20 per cent and I'm just going to add something. And yesterday something is appearing. Look, there's our paper texture. Well, I think I might be done right away. I'll keep on going a little bit and look at that everywhere around this, no escaping anything. I would almost say that there is, look at that everywhere. Nice texture right away, some paper texture that obviously is in this brush. Some creative effects right away. I'm done. We'll leave that like this. Now of course you can pick a different brush. Let's put another layer on top of it, hide it. I'm pretty sure that that's soft pastel works really nice too, and you get a different paper texture. So let's do the same with the soft pastel color was largest, we can go around 20 per cent and just see what it brings for this one. And I'm just going to give one application first row. And that is right away. Really nice way to strong. No problem. We can lower the opacity on this one. I wanted to come through a little bit. There you go. Now, this makes it look really like a drawing, doesn't it? That's it. Alright, good. So I've got two alternatives now. I use the soft pastel or you can use this one. This one is stronger, but this one is not getting any way. You could lower this just a little bit. That is not the right layer, it's the ray would say about 75 per cent, that's better. Look at it. Too. Great, nice paper textures that would look like as if we've drawn this on paper. Same as this one where you see all the texture in the paper coming through, the shading. We see that here too, all the texture coming through. And that is the second part of this project. So the first part is draw this. The second part is create that Kansas texture. Pick a brush. There's plenty of brushes. Perhaps you've got some nice cancers brushes to just add a kind of stupid or a paper. And even in previous lessons I've done previous class, I don't, I've showed how to bring in Nice Ethan paper effects. You may have followed them. If not, you may want to check that how to do great campuses, although this looks pretty good already, but you can go wafer with this. I'm leaving it like this. So your project is post this and if possible create a nice texture too on the paper. And then just post your projects so I can see it and everybody else can enjoy it too. Well. Thank you for being with me. Don't forget to follow me here on Skillshare. There's plenty of more classes I got on Procreate, but also traditional drawing. Also check out my website, follow me on Instagram to where you see what crazy things I'm up to. Thank you again, and I hope to see you in another class.
