Shading And Texture With Pattern Brushes In Procreate

1. Introduction: Do you know what makes a good digital illustration? Great. Well, getting rid of that digital look. It is a common practice to shade with gradients and small gradations to adapt to digital art works which works. But how about getting that real feel? You know what I mean? Hello guys. My name is Alexandra K, the Art. I'm an artist illustrator, online educator, and a professional art teacher. And in this class, I'm going to show you how to get that real feel by shading and creating textures. Pattern brushes in procreate, as I'm obsessed with creating procreate brushes, obviously we are going to create tons of pattern brushes in this class. First of all because it is fun. Secondly, procreate comes with a limited number of pattern brushes and textures. And learning how to create your own will open the gates to endless possibilities. We will start by learning about textures and some shading principles. Then we will explore the types of pattern brushes, and we are going to create brushes for those types. And then we are going to shade a fish, and then move to creating our custom pattern brushes to these types. Then we are going to talk about colors and patterns and how they work all together and test our brushes and our new knowledge and discoveries on a playground of eight illustrations of food and food packaging, the class project will be to choose one illustration from this sheet. Make it your own, make it detailed and create a full illustration from it using the brushes and the knowledge that we get from this class and why food, maybe I'm hungry. It is what it is. By the end of this class, you will have 300 million pattern brushes in procreate and you will have the skill set to create more. You will have finished illustration. You will have eight small illustrations. You will know how to utilize your brushes when creating shadows and textures in your future artworks. You know to get that real feel. I'm super excited to have you here, so let's just get started. 2. About The Class: Welcome to the class, I'm super excited to have you here. In this video, we are going to talk about the class structure, the class resources, and the class project. Now the class is divided into two main parts. The first part is going to be a little bit demanding. It will require patience and endurance from you. So now I would love to encourage you to stick with that part, because you will really have the resources for your own or for yourself by the end of it, Okay, So just keep doing the brushes. You will learn so much, trust me. But don't worry it will be theoretical, but it will be also fun. In this part, we're going to learn about textures, shading principles, types of brushes. We are going to create a stem brush, a line brush, three types of texture brushes, and then try them out on trading a fish. And then we are going to move on to creating our custom brushes from handmade things and hand drown things. And it will be really fun and it will open so many doors for you. The second part of this class, you will get this drawing sheet. These are my drawings, and you are free to change them. You can redraw them, you can remove objects from there and put something back. This is going to be our playground where we are going to test our brushes and see what works and what doesn't, okay? This class is not built on perfection. We are going to do some ugly stuff. And don't worry, because we are going to combine the good stuff in the class project at the end of the class, okay? The philosophy behind this class is really that I want to encourage you to experiment and explore the possibilities. Because experiment and exploration is inevitable for finding the joy in the process. In the point is on the process, okay? Not on the end result. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. What I want from you is to trust yourself. Your own way is good enough and you can bring the best out of it. There are so many other benefits to creating your own procreate brushes. One is that your art will become more personal. All my illustrations are done with the brushes that I have created. And also the creation process is more fun when creating your own brushes. I just feel like an alchemist when I'm doing this. This class comes with amazing resources. So we are going to work through worksheets that I have prepared for you. You can find them in the resources. It is good if you use them, but they are not like necessary. And you can just watch the videos and like draw on your own. You are going to get my personal illustration brush set and you are free to use them and I'm going to use them during the illustration process. Okay, and then you will get also the brush set that I create during this class for reference or if you are really a beginner and you don't have the nerves to create the branches or you get stuck and it doesn't look like mine, you can just use mine in the illustration part. Okay. You will also get this sketch sheet and also my color palette that I'm going to use throughout the entire class. Regarding the class project, you will get this pre draw sheet, right? We are going to experiment on it. And for the class project, as a final, final class project, we are going to choose one object from it. Work it out in detail and apply all the textures, color combinations, patterns that worked for us in the playground part, and create a finished illustration from that. Okay. So you will have a final artwork at the end that you have worked on on your own. I would love to encourage you right now to build up your class project. So when you finish the playground part and fill in these little illustrations, put them into the project gallery. And then add your finished artwork as well to it. So it sounds super fun, right? I'm so excited to get started, and I hope you are. As well as a first step, grab your ipad, download your resources, and then see you in the next lesson. 3. Shading With Texture: All right, welcome to the first lesson. In this lesson, we are going to talk about shading with texture. We are going to define what texture is and what is its coloration to patterns. Let's just start with defining what texture is. I will call Google to my help so that I can read it to you and you can see some examples. The texture is the feel and appearance or consistency of a surface or substance. The definition I like is it's the visual, tactile, surface characteristics and appearance of something as we are now in a visual art thing. Texture means visually for us, these kinds of patterns, actually the way I love to call it is that they are patterns organically appearing in the world or in nature. Can you see that? It shows us these things. For example, clouds. They are repeating on the sky. They can be a texture or the ground is correct. Ground that can be a texture. Or tiles, or bricks even. Okay? Or the fur of some animals. They are basically repeat patterns that come from the nature. All right. These can be called a texture, okay. This is the connection of texture and patterns that they are repeated grains or blocks of shapes that are repeating, and they give us the feel of that surface. Even paper has texture. When we are in the traditional media, we paint on paper, we already have texture, Okay. The surface of the paper gives us a texture. Our artworks are already like, texturized, even on canvas, we have the canvas texture, okay, that is missing from digital. When we are shading in digital, we have this plan gradient or gradation. Let me just show you the difference between the two of the plan digital gradation or gradient and a texturized one. This is one thing beginners can do to start using textures when they are shading because that will give that real feel to the artworks immediately. You can do this with me. If you have this worksheet, I will choose this first shape. It is alpha locked already for me. I will choose white. And maybe the painting brush that comes to procreate the round brush, I will just make it bigger. I will just make it white. Now I will choose a darker gray and just fill it to 75% approximately. I will go darker again, let a little bit even darker again, and I will choose black to the bottom. Now I will go to adjustments. And gosh, blurring. I have a nice smooth gradation here, It can create a really nice fred effect and can add P to our artwork, but it will feel like this. Very digital. Okay, In this one I am going to just fill it with white. I will choose my shady signature shade brush that I have created. Here I will show you its shape. It is working in this greenish shape. We will talk about the settings and shapes and et cetera later in the class. Let me just show you what it can do. I will just tilt this a little bit. I will lower its capacity to approximately 40% I will make it bigger. I will just try to create a smooth gradation. It immediately adds this grain into it. Can you see that? I will go darker. Even darker and even darker. Okay. Wow. Can you see how cool does this look like? This is incredible. Can you see the difference? This is a more real feel. Okay, This is the trick that you can apply to get more realistic and better digital illustrations to shade with texture. Now, in this class, we are not going to create brushes with smooth grains. We are going to work a little bit more with artificial patterns that we create because that is fun, it's more of a thing to explore. But now, for example, you can see that you can look for texture brushes to shade with to create this real feel effect. We are going for a little bit of a different look in this class. We are going to talk about different patterns later. Now you know that in digital, the smooth gradation or gradients are good for shading, but they make your art look digital. Now you know also that texture is basically repeat patterns and that that appear in nature. Yeah. See you in the next video where we are going to talk a little bit about shading principles. 4. Shading Principles : In this video, we are going to talk about some shading principles. What we need to take a look at is this sphere. As you can see, it has been shaded with that shader brush that I have just shown you. Basically, we have a light source and the light hitting the sphere and there we will have the highlight. The main color of the sphere is the mid tone. Then it goes to the shadow. To the shadow, we part the, we have a drop shadow where basically the light is blocked by this shape. It is reflecting on the surface zone. The surface reflects back to the object and we will have a reflection. Now this is done with smooth gradation here. As you can see, it creates a really cool three D effect. But in illustration, we don't necessarily want to have a completely rendered object. Here is the value scale. It is a smooth gradation going from one color to another, or the one intensity from white to black. Now we can shade with shapes. One of the basic techniques for shading, even in traditional media or traditional drawing, is to define the shapes of the shadows or these areas. The shapes of these areas. Then you can create a smooth gradations more easily, or you can use these shapes to fill in with different things. For example, patterns, in this case of the clowns. And create interesting works or effects, or style within an artwork. All right. As you can see, this is a good observational practice. If I want to define the shape of the high light, this is the shape of the high light, Then we have the mid tone. I have created three layers of it because of smooth gradation, but it can be just one color here. Then we have the shape of the shadow and the shape of reflection, and then the shape of drop shadow. As you can see, there can be more levels to it. I have created levels of mid tones here. With shading, with shapes, we have like levels of darkness within an artwork. Now this is just a very brief introduction to shading. I want you now to try out shading. Grab my brush side that comes with this class, the shader brush. And see you in the next video where you can try out shading yourself. See you in the next video. 5. Shading Practice: All right, welcome to the shading practice. In this lesson, you are going to practice shading. Okay, you have the reference photo for observing the shadows. You have the base shapes drawn. We have the highlight, we have the tone. We have the shadow of the reflection and the drop shadow below. What you are going to do is this shape right here. This base shape. You will Apollo it choose gray. And the shade of brush you need to go for at least approximately to 40% of transparency. Okay? So decrease the opacity to 40% and make the brush big. At least 10% okay? All right, so let's just get into it. We are going to start with the mid tone, okay? So I'm just going to draw along this line here just a few times. Just you can go a little bit closer to the middle, but I really want to keep that shape light. Okay. Now going to this middle shape, just go darker. Push that pencil down. I will choose black, so that I can go even darker right here. All right. I can go for the reflection back, I will choose a light color. For example, this color here. Choose this color here. And get back a reflection down there. You can make the brush a bit smaller. Just get back. I will create a layer below this and choose the black as again. And just paint, we will make it a bit bigger. And I will just paint into this shape, to this drop shadow shape. Okay, now I will turn off this sketch and walla, I have a really nicely shaded sphere. Okay, I hope that you enjoyed it. Just love shading spheres. Now, see you in the next video where we're going to talk about procreate brushes. 6. Simple Brushes In Procreate: In this lesson, we are going to talk about simple brushes in procreate, through which you will learn the basics of procreate brushes and procreate brush creation. And then we can move on to more complex brush creations later in the class. At first, we are going to create a stamp brush, because that is the simplest brush that we can create, will have the shape of this little star. A stamp brush looks like this. Let me just show you. I will choose one that I have already created. I will create a new layer when I'm just tapping, the shape just appears where I want it. Now, this brush is good to create for decorative elements, or if you have some signature shapes that you include in your artworks. It is so good to have these brushes so that you don't need to draw them over and over and again, but you can just place them when you need them. You can notice that this space shape is in a square. Because when we are creating procreate brushes, we need to work on square sized images so that our images don't get distorted. What we are going to do is to go to gallery and create a new canvas. Hit the plus sign and hit the square sized canvas here. We are going to have a pretty easy job here because we have the symmetry tool in procreate. What I'm going to do is to hit a Range button. Go to Canvas, and turn on Drawing Guide. And hit Edit, Drawing Guide. Now if I go to Symmetry and I go to Options, I can choose quadrant. This means that I will have four squares that will like copy or mirror each other, and I can create this star shape within that. If you want to change the visibility of these lines, that will help guide. We have a white background, now a black color is just okay. But you can change the color of these lines up here and also the thickness done. I will choose black. Now you will need a brush and I will choose a clean shaper. Okay, you have my brushes in the resources. If I'm drawing it is like copying like this. But let's just make it nice. Okay, Try to do it approximately from this part and connect like this. I don't like this curve. I will make a nicer curve. I can also hold down this line to make it even now I can move it around. I will just fill in this shape with color. I can go to eras. Let me see what eraser Yeah. I have a clean brush as an eraser. I will just erase a little bit from this to have a nicer edge here as well. Just a little bit painted a little bit back. All right, so I have this base shape. Now, what to do? We need to invert it because when we are working in the procreate bar studio, the colors work like with layer masks. If you know what layer masks are basically, it means that black color works as full transparency and white color works as a working pixel. Okay, we need to invert this image. It will be pretty easy. Go to layers, select this layer, and hit invert. And now go to background color and choose complete black. This will mean that in my brush or in our brush, this black will be transparent and we will only have this shape working. I hit the brush studio. Let's create our brush set. Okay, We are going to create a brush set and put all of our brushes that we create in this class into this brush set. For that you are the brush sets you need to slide down to make this plus sign appear. Hit that you have just created the brush set. And let's name it. I will name it pattern brushes. I already have one there. I will just move it around. It doesn't confuse me. All right? I have my pattern brushes here. I will click the plus sign up here. Now we enter the brush studio. In the brush studio, you have several settings up here. Stroke path, stabilization, et cetera. The stroke path is going to be interesting for us now, but let's just at first go to shape. You see the shape saucer, It is a circle by default. Here you have an edit button up here, click that. Import. Oh, I forgot. Okay, we need to copy this image. I will just free finger swipe and copy this image. Okay, let's do it again. I will hit the plus sign and go to Shape, Edit, and Import. And now I can paste this shape right here. And I will hit Done. Now my brush changed. As you can see, I will just clear the drawing pad and increase the previous size so that you can see what's happening. It creates a line like this, and you can very clearly see that this shape is basically dragged around the line that I'm drawing. This is the basis of every procreate brush, the shape that you have created will be just dragged around the line you are drawing. Now if you go to stroke path and increase spacing, it will increase the space between these shapes. Okay? As you can see, some of these shapes are more or less transparent and we want to set it to full opacity. If you go to Apple pencil, you can set the pressure sensitivity and it is by default set like the opacity to max and just decrease that. Now you will have fully opaque shapes and done. Now let's return to the original. I will choose this dark brown color in my brush. I will create a new layer and I paint my shapes. Here you can see if I change the direction of the canvas, my shapes will appear in different directions. So keep that in mind. Okay, pretty cool. Now, you have created your first stamp brush. See you in the next video, where we are going to play around with it a little bit more. 7. Simple Brushes In Procreate Part 2.: All right, in this video we are going to play around with our stem brush a little bit. We already talked about the stroke path. We increase the distance between these shapes to create the stem brush, but what if we decrease that at first? I'm going to go back to this brush and name it. If I go about this brush and I will just hit star, star shape here, you can add your logo, you can write your name. I will just write the out here. I can sign it and create a new rest point that and hit Save. That means that if you change any setting within that brush, you can just go back and hit this rest brush and it will go back to the saved settings that you have here. I will hit done, I have the star shape now. I will slide it this way and duplicate it. Okay, I will go to star shape one. I will now decrease the spacing. I want to create a line brush like this. Let's see what that does. I will increase approximately to 57% Now I will have a decorative line brush. Looks pretty cool. This is the simple thing that I have done. I will click here. I will rename this brush and star line. Let's name it star line brush. Create new reset point set done. And now I have a decorative line brush that I can use to decorate my illustrations with. All right, so now you have two different brushes. Let's move on and see what types of pattern brushes we have in procreate. So see you there. 8. Types Of Pattern Brushes: In this lesson, we are going to talk about the types of pattern brushes. There are three types of pattern brushes we can create in procreate brush studio. We already talked about the base shapes that brushes have. There can be placed two different parts of the brush. Now let's just when this base shape is placed into the As a shape. Okay, we already done this with the star brush. In the brush studio, we have placed that into the shape. We also have the grain. So what is the grain? Grain is basically not the shape, but something behind the shape, and we can place textures behind the shape. We are going to discuss this in more detail in a second, but let's just see what brush we will get. If we place four dots as a shape, we are going to create this brush together. Let's just do that. Okay, I will go to gallery and create a new square sized canvas Now to place these four dots so that they will work for us later as well. We will need again the canvas and drawing guide and added drawing guide. Now we are going to increase the grid size, 516 pixels down here. Cool, I will hit done. Now I have the middle and I have these four crossing points. I will choose black and choose from the Atmaters ultimate Brush Set. The clean shaper. Just draw four dots to these crossing points. They don't need to be like perfect. That will add a little bit of fun to our brush. Now we will need to invert it. I will again invert and make the background color black, free finger swipe and copy. Now I go to my pattern brush side and create a new brush shape added. Import paste done. Now I have my dots. I will need to again, go to stroke path and increase the spacing even more. Yeah, I have the space to get at 62% I will hit down. Now I have dotted shaped brush. Let's just name it above this brush, dot shape brush. Okay, let's go back now. We have prepared again the same shaped sphere. I will go to the first sphere, you can shade immediately into it or just select the shape and create a new layer above it. Okay, when we have this brush, I will just choose this brown and make my brush a bit smaller. This is the stipling technique, I don't know if you have heard about it. It is basically drawing shadows and actually textures by adding dots into the artwork. The density of these dots will define the darkness of that shadow. Okay, I will just now go through this midtown area with my brush and try to add simple density. Add this shadow area. I will add more. There will be more of these dots. Can you see that? I can also create a smooth gradation. Smooth gradation like going from the higher density to less. And also here at the reflection. Now I will add the layer below it all and create again a high density below the shape. This is a dot brush. I will just go to the layers and turn off this catch. And this is the base shading of the simple shaped brush. Okay, so this is the first type of pattern brushes. Now see you in the next video. And let's talk about fixed texture pattern brushes. 9. Types Of Pattern Brushes Part 2.: In this lesson, we are going to talk about the fixed texture pattern brush. Now we are going to use the exact same base shape to create a fixed texture background brush. Let me just go back to this base shape and copy it again. Free finger swipe and copy. Go back to your brush library and brush and create a new brush. Now, we are not going to add this base shape to the shape, because this shape actually means that you are dragging this shape along the line that you are drawing. When you are adding grain, here is the grain source. It will be actually as if you would have how to call it a surface behind that shape that you are drawing along. And there you will have the pattern if that makes sense, but you will understand it in a second. I will just addit grain sauce, import and paste. My four dots. Hit, done. Now I will just scale it down at the shapes. You will see that if I'm roving my round shape above this grain, it will just reweel these dots behind it as if there would be a seamless pattern of dots placed on a surface. And I would have this little rounded shape that I can carry along about it. And then I will have basically the brush line I will hit Done. Let's see what this does. Let's go to gallery. Let's go back. I will turn back on my sketch of this. Now I have this selected. I will actually name this the fixed fixed texture brush. Let me show you one more thing. If I go back to the grain, it is set to moving, but we want the fixed texture. The difference between the moving and the texturized setting here is that at the texturized, the texture is fixed. You are revealing that pattern behind it. In the moving, you are dragging that pattern again and again. Okay. Now, set it to texturized. I can scale here at the shape only the shape of that brush. That is the circle, right? I can reveal on this part of that texture. I will need to go back and scale. I will scale it down to 6% had done. Let's see what we can do. Again, I'm at this new layer. I will select the base shape and select the brush. I will make it smaller. I will shade here. Now as you can see, if I am shading over and over again, you cannot do something like this with this texture. It can only reveal the fixed texture at the background. This is good when we are creating textures that will, for example, overlay the whole background, but we can play around with this as well. You need to go back to this fixed texture brush and scale it down to 3% Now you have a more dense texture. I will just add one more here. Now I will just turn off this catch above. This is okay. Let's create a drop shadow here. This is going to be my shaded sphere. With this one, you can play a lot. Let's just create a fixed texture brush. Keep it at the 3% Now let's just duplicate it, go to grain and scale it up to six. You will have several scales of this. Okay. Maybe we can go even further and go to grain and decrease it to 2% Let's see what that does. Yeah, cool. Now we have this dense, we can add a little bit of shading, but it will be basically, we will add this back. Just smaller and smaller dots with the fixed texture. All right, now see you in the next video where we are going to see what the moving texture does. See you there. 10. Types Of Pattern Brushes Part 3.: In this video, we're going to talk about the moving texture. I will basically do the exact same thing, go back, create a new brush and go to grain, add it, import and paste. And it done again. I will have the dots as the fixed texture in the background, but I will keep it at moving and I will actually scale that down a little bit to, I don't know, 10% This means that when I'm drawing that fixed background with every new lift of my apple pencil, I am drawing that texture again. I can create this density, it down. Let's see what we can do with this third one. I will turn back on the sketch, select the third shape, select and hit plus sign. I will just go around and shade this tone. Now go back again at the shaded part several times. As you can see it is re, drawing the texture like this. Again, I can create this several multiplications of this texture behind. I will draw another drop shadow here. I can go back with, it looks cool. I will turn off this main drawing layer. And voila, here are the three different types of pattern brushes in procreate. And these are just great representations of what you can do within a brush. Okay. But there are so many effects we can create with different base shapes. Okay, this is just a demonstration. These are pretty cool brushes, actually. We are going to use them when illustrating. So as you can see, when you have these little elements as the shape of your brush, you can create a more random effect and play a lot around with density. When you have a fixed texture, it is not set to moving, but it's a text fixed texture. You can only play with the scale of the pattern you have at the background. Okay, with the moving texture, with every lift of your apple pencil, you are withdrawing that texture in the background. You still had the circles as the base shape in this two, and here you didn't have the grain, only this shape as the shape. All right, so I hope that this was understandable for you. Now let's shade a fish and see how we can use the brushes to shade a different thing than a sphere. So I'll see you there. 11. Let's Shade A Fish!: All right, let's shade a fish. As you can see, you have the fish drone. You have the shapes of the shadows. Pre drone. Here are the different effects that we can get from these brushes. Now we can just create a layer below this main line that we have here. Choose your brush. Let's just experiment. I will make it smaller, just add some shadows below the eyes. This is the moving texture brush. I will just rename it moving texture brush. See our favorite. What do you like the best? Can you create shadows with them? Just fell in the shapes. And practice a little bit more painting, not just that rounded shapes, but we have some more complicated shapes right here. Here is this third one. I can just turn it off and create a new one. Let's try the fixed texture brush. I'm going backwards, who? This looks cool with the really small dots can just more textures. Wow, this looks super cool. I think it will work pretty well for shading. Even adding grain to the adding grain is basically adding a, like the same grain to the whole image, not just to parts where you are shading. Okay, you can find these types of art works if you type in half tone arts, I will choose the other fixed texture brush. Just add some dots here. So cool, that's my shaded fish. I will turn it off and create another layer. And try the dotted shape brush, and just add these dots. Okay, you can get creative with it, you can combine, all free. In this video, I just wanted to take a step towards the class project where we are going to illustrate food. For some reason, just a fish popped up in my mind. Now we shaded a fish. What we are going to do in the next video is to create different versions of these brushes to create even more interesting patterns and textures. 12. Creating A Custom Brush Part 1.: In this video, we are going to create a custom shape brush. And I will show you that it doesn't need to be boring as four simple symmetrical dots. Let's create some crazy dots as a base shape. In this video, you will need a plain piece of white paper, black acrylic, this top of honey jar, and a pencil with this gum at the end. I'm sure that you know what I mean, like this. Okay, so that we are going to create dots onto the paper. I have black acrylic top of the jar. And this white paper, I will squeeze out a little bit of paint and I want to create a base shape for this moving texture. That will be circular shape. Okay? I will just put this rubber into the black paint and just create a dot like this. I will try to make more density in the middle of this circle and then outwards just to make it more rare. Whoops, don't worry. If you have some tra shapes, we can edit them later. Okay, I think that's finished. It looks pretty cool. Okay, so let's make a photo of it. Let's grab our ipad and the camera. I will again take a photo of this texture and I make sure that it is sharp. All right, so now let's create another square sized canvas, right? Let's import our base shape photo. Make sure that it fits the canvas. Okay, now we need to invert it. So I will simply click on the layer and hit Invert. And now to have that transparency, we'll need this black to be fully black and this white to stay pack. Okay. I will go to adjustments and curves and tackle this part down here until it is fully black. And just increase the white a little bit. All right, now I will free finger swipe, and copy this base shape. And go back to my pattern brush set and create a new brush. Go to shaped, I said add it important, paste and it done. We have this shape. Now to make this shape a bit like better for shading, we will need to add a little bit of scatter and rotation here at the shape settings. It will rotate the base shape around the line that I'm drawing so that it is more random. I will go to stroke path and increase the spacing a little bit. Also go to properties and increase the maximum size. Now can you see that this will look so good when we are going to shade? I will hit dump. Let's see what we can do with it. I will turn off the space shape, select a brush, and create a new layer. Can you see that it is perfect? It looks incredible. This is a texture and a pattern actually, And it will be amazing for shading. All right, so now we have our, let's name it. Let's give it the name maybe. What? A creating name you can think of. Anything else. All right, But I will just need to name it custom dot brush. It done. Now, see you in the next video where we are going to create the fixed texture brush. All right, so see you there. 13. Creating A Custom Brush Part 2.: In this lesson, we are going to create a fixed texture brush. For this, we will need to print out a black sheet of paper. The way I'm going to do this, I will create a screen sized canvas, fill it with black, go to Actions, share J, and print. We'll select my printer. Here it is, and I will just print it out. Now if you don't have a printer, you will have the texture that I will just create in a second within the resources. Okay, so here is my printed out black sheet of paper. Basically what I'm going to do with this paper is to crunch it. This, this will crack the ink on the paper. When I am taking it out, I will crunch it a bit more. See, this is going to be the texture. It looks pretty amazing. I will put my ipad aside and just try to make it even Okay, My hands look like this. I will just go and wash them. Okay, Can you see? This looks amazing. It is natural. This is going to be a natural texture. For this, I will create a photo with my ipad. Go to camera, make sure to create a photo of this texture. And make sure that it is sharp. Okay, now we will again need to create a square sized canvas and insert the photo of our texture here. Make sure that it fits the square. Let's go again to adjustments, curves. And make the black very black and white, very white. Okay, three finger swipe and copy. Now I will create a new brush. Now I will not go to shape, but to grain. Add it, import and paste this photo here. Now this is not a seamless pattern, but we can create a seamless pattern for it with the auto repeat function of the procreate brush studio. Now you can see there is a border overlap here created that creates this check the fact it doesn't look really good. So I will just get back from it. I can adjust the grain scale. I can rotate it a bit to get like these random blacks here a little bit better. I can adjust that in the base shape. But I don't want to make it too complicated for you right now. I just want you to understand how these things work. I will at done, it will create a texture and Walla, can you see that? It looks pretty amazing. Now I will go to properties and increase the maximum size. Wow, super cool. I will turn this off and let's see what it can do on a new layer. Wow, this cracked effect. It looks like wood or a trunk of a tree, or cracked paper. It looks super cool. If I want to increase the scale of this texture within, I can go back to grain yet moving. But you can just to tie, increase the scale, decrease the scale. You can again create two different branches from this one. Moving again, the difference a texture in the background moving is like you can the texture upon each other. Let's just keep that in texturized. Okay, let's see what it does and create a new layer. Yeah, super cool. I will name this brush fixed texture brush, cracked paper texture, paper texture. We can duplicate this brush and just go to grain and set the moving play with the scale a bit and rename it Cracker texture. Moving or moving? Crack paper. Yeah, that will be the name. Okay, we already have 1-234-567-8910, brushes, and now we are going to combine this two. See you in the next video. 14. Creating A Custom Brush Part 3.: In this video, I would love to show you how to combine these two have a shape and also a fixed texture in the background in one brush. And what effect that has? I will go here into this canvas. I have my correct paper texture. I will go to my brushes and this customs brush, I will duplicate that and go into that. Now I have preset this shape as a base. All right, inte grain, I will place this texture. I will just need to copy it. So I will copy, go back grain, add it, import and paste, and heap done. Now this texture will be presented through those dots that are here. Let me show you what that does. I have now that texture presented through those dots, but I will need to go to make those dots more closer to each other so that I can create a darker texture. Let's see, yeah. Looks cool. Can you see that creates such an interesting edge to this? Super cool, I can create so nice shading here. Incredible. All right, let's create another brush similar to these four dots. But let's draw something free handly, some elements, and create a brush from that. See you in the next video. 15. Creating A Custom Brush Part 4.: Okay, in this last branch creation video, I promise we will get to painting. In short, we are going to create a similar branch than this one, but we will have some custom shapes created. Again, create a new square size canvas. Let's just add a drawing guide. Added drawing guide size to 516 head done. Now choose black color and a clean shaper. Think of of a shape that you would love to see as a pattern at the four crossing points, I will draw my leafy hearts, wonderful. Again, the same exact process. Invert the background will be black free finger swipe copy and now I will go back to my pattern brushes, create a new one. Let's add it now as a grain. Add it, important. Paste head done. We have the texture, let's do it as texturized. Okay, degrees the scale. Now we have this seamless pattern of these hearts. Wow, this looks good. All right. I just discovered something I haven't thought about. This is so cool. We can play with the scale so we can make it smaller and bigger. Wow, amazing. I will keep it at, I don't know, 5% We go to properties and increase the maximum size of the brush to 300% head done. And now I have my heart texture. I will just write it here. I'm so happy about finding this one. It is sober to experiment with different placements of the same shapes. You will get different results every time. And super cool. Now I have all my brushes. Here is this next slide or worksheet, shading with patterns, and let's see what we can do with them. 16. Shading With Patterns: All right, so in this last one we are going to try out shading with patterns, with our custom brushes that we have created. We already tried out these pattern brushes from dots and now we are going to try out these custom brushes. This is really going to be just an experiment, what we can do with them. You have your base shape here and you have these shadows so that you have the guidelines and help. What we are going to do is the first one, and we are going to use the heart texture brush, but that is a fixed texture brush at the background and you wouldn't be able to create this, adapt with it. What we are going to do is to create another brush from it. I will duplicate this brush and go inside to it, go to grain and make it to moving. It will be easier to shade with this brush like that, but having this fixed texture of the heart is also good. Having a wide variety of brushes or variety from the same brush is also always handy. You will just see in the next video where we are going to actually illustrate with them. It will be a totally a game changer. What I'm going to do now is that I'm going to select the space shape that I have here and create a new layer. Now with this brush, yes, this heart texture brush and this dark brown, I'm going to just fill in the tone and the shape of the shadow right here. Going to the shadow part. A little bit more. Even more. Even more from this side as well. A little bit here. Wonderful. I will deselect and create a layer below it. Below the base shape. And I will just add the drop shadow. Okay, cool. Turned off the pro thing. I have this cool fact from the heart shapes. I love it. It really looks like the screen printing arts and it has so cool effect. Okay, let's try this one now. I will just turn these off again, select the base shape and create a new layer. And go with the custom dots shader. Let's try that. You know where we combine the dots and the texture at the background, at the back. Yeah, I will turn on the drawing so that I know where to draw. I will make it a bit smaller. Okay. I will try to be a bit lighter up here and then go dark where the shadow is as it is also set to moving. Can you see what kind of a texture it creates? It really has this cracked paper effect. I think it looks super cool. I will create another layer below it. Select and add the drop shadow turn of the drawing. It looks super cool, right? So interesting, so different. It will make your artwork look so unique. Okay, I will turn this off again. Let's try the third one. I will select again, create a new layer. Now, it is going to be the dotted customs brush. I will turn on the sketch again. Where is the sketch? Here it is. Wow, I will make it bigger, really lightly. Go around the shapes, the I will go darker at the shadow parts. Wow, this is so cool. Take a look at this. Oh my God, I love it so much. I will create another layer below the base shape. The select filling the drop shadow. Super cool. I will turn off the drawing. Where is it here? Walla. Perfect guys, these brushes work like a dream and we are going to try them out. We are going to paint with these brushes, all of them. It will be super fun. But let's first see how to work with these patterns and the colors, and how to make them look good together. So see you in the next video. 17. Patterns And Colors: All right, in this video, we are going to look at the patterns and colors and how those work together, so that we can create a cool artwork. In the next part of the class, again, we have circles here. It is an obsession of mine. Lately what I'm going to do is to show you how different colors work together. I have these shapes here. I will just place this down. I will just paint into them in the first circle. I will keep it light. I will shade it with brown. Usually when I'm shading, I have a base color that is lighter and I choose a color that is in a darker value and shade with that. Until now, it was a pretty monochrome thing that I was doing or we were doing. We had like dots, a light color and a darker color, right? It works pretty good together. Also with the simple patterns it, if I zoom out, you can see that having these dots will make this color a bit darker. But what if we work with two different colors? Let's just do that. I will fill this in with blue. I will shade into it. I will choose a darker version of the blue. I will choose one of the, I don't know, textures. Let's say this hard texture again, even with a darker version of the color, I can make it even darker. I can choose a third color to have it even, and I have this blue here. I will add that into it. Wow, it got dark. But you can still see through the pattern, the base color. It creates a pretty amazing effect. Can you see that? All right, but what if we combine two different colors together? Now, I will maybe this red. Let's go with the blue. Let's choose this dots. Look at this, incredible. What you need to pay attention to when you are painting with two different colors is that the color that you are shading with should be darker value. Now how you can check this? You can create a value check layer. I will create a new layer and just simply fill it with gray. I will change the blending mode of this layer to color. You can see that this blue was a bit darker than the red. I could have gone darker. I will turn off this value check layer. Let's see what happens when I do it with the dark blue. Yeah, it, it got shaded even better. And there is a variety within the color, and it looks super cool. Okay, let's see some other color combinations. What colors work together with shading? There are often complimentary colors that pop out in the vintage illustrations. Let's say I would choose a purple, for example. In combination with yellow, I will choose yellow. Shade it with purple. The dark purple, let's say. Yeah, it looks pretty cool. Yeah. And also red and green looks red, and blue looks good. And green and pink looks good. Let's choose a light pink. I will choose a green, a dark green, and take a look at it. It's pretty weird. This color combination is surprising, but it creates this really vintage look. To me, it's like, wow, I love how it goes from one color to another. As you can see, we can also say that shading color with a cool color also is a good idea. In this last one, there is another rule that we need to talk about that is that when you are shading, it is good to choose a shading color. That is next to the main color on the color wheel. What does that mean? If I pick up this color and go to the color wheel, I can see that this color is here. If I push this main color to one side, oranges are. Let's go to more red worm. I will make it darker, it will bring me out a bit of a brown. Let's choose the custom shader. Shading with this color will also look good. Again, this rule is that if you shade with the color that is next to it, next to the main color on the color wheel, it will look good. Okay, let's just summarize what we have learned in this patterns and colors part. It is always a good idea to shade with the darker version of the main color. We are talking about the same color. Okay? Because we are shading with patterns, the main color will look through. You can create a gradually darkening effect, shading with that version of the color. But you can create a gradual shading. You have a main color, a bit darker, and then an even darker color also, It can create an incredible effect if you shade with colors that are opposite to each other on the color wheel. Orange opposite to it is blue. We have this yellow. The opposite to it is purple. We have this pink. The opposite to it is green. This creates an effect that is unexpected and makes you artwork pop. It is a very usual thing to use these colors together in vintage illustration. Then the last rule that we have talked about is it is always a good idea to shade with a color that is next to the main color on the color wheel. If we have orange, we push it. And also, yeah, again, we have to choose a darker version of the color, not the same darkness. Right. Push it and make it a bit darker and shade with color. If I would have like a pink main color, I would push it to purple and make it darker and shade with, or if I have blue, I make it darker shade with teal or with dark green, et cetera. These are some color combinations that work together with shading. Now let's just talk about how to create your color palette and what I want from you for this final project. As we are going to illustrate lots of small things, we need color variation in it. I want you to choose two colors, one main color. This is going to be this first column. In the second column, we will have the secondary color. For me, the dominant color will be blue. This blue, I will put it here. Yeah, here. And I will have a secondary color and that is going to be this orange that I am consistent throughout this class. Okay, I want a lighter version of these colors, colors that I'm going to shade these colors with. Okay. A lighter version of this blue, light blue. It is very light silver color. The very dark version of it is going to be this one. I'm going to shade that with this color. The lighter version is this one. I will keep this very light beach here. I will choose a darker version of it. And I will choose, I will shade this color with this color. Okay? You don't need to choose the lighter and darker version of this exact same hue. But think about what you are going to lighten or darken it, okay? What color you are going to combine it with? And think of them like separately. I have this color. I want to make it lighter with this color and shade it with this color. Also here. This is my main color. I want to add to it with this and shade it with this. Then when we are illustrating, we can cross combine all of them. This is just a main concept to start with and you can build up your color palette while we are illustrating. If you need another color. For example, we don't have green here, right? If we need green, we need to choose a green or a yellow, et cetera. And we will need that actually, because we will have a hamburger there. But this is going to be something to start with. Okay. Make sure that these main colors are at this middle range of the color pick. I don't know. It is not too light or not too dark. Okay, it is saturated. Yeah, if you have your color palette, you will of course, get this color palette. So you can choose from it. You can use my color palette if you don't feel confident enough to create your own. But you are invited to do this as you wish. You can do, for example, illustrate with my colors and then illustrated again with, for example, a color combination like this. And experiment with it like this. Class is all about experimentation. And just to learn and, and try out things that will help to make our aspects unique and actually the process fun. Because that's the point. All right, so now let's go into the illustration part and let's illustrate those food illustrations or drawings. Okay, so see you in the next video. 18. Finally Illustrating: All right, so let's get into it. So now we have these sketches. You are free to add, and remove, and change, and whatever. We are going to go through each of them together separately. In this first video, we are going to prepare the canvas. So we have this catch here. I will choose a background color. I will choose a background color. Just one that I have in every worksheet that we have worked through. I'm immediately going to add a new layer about the background and choose this lighter color. And choose our correct paper texture. And add that paper texture over it so that we immediately the texture that we are going to work on, that we have such the mood for the whole Yeah, I filled it, now we have the correct paper texture already. Now what I'm going to do is to change the opacity of the sketch to approximately 40% and create another layer. Now what I'm going to start with is that I'm going to fill in the main shapes and basically set the base color of them. Okay, I'm not going to go into details or more shapes within one little illustration, we are going to do that later. What I'm going to do is to select from the brush, set the clean shaper. You can use any opaque brush that you love. I have a layer below this catch. And I'm going to start, my main color is this blue. I'm going to speed the process up so that I don't bore you. What I'm going to do is to fill in the whole shape of it. Try to follow the outlines that I have with the catches, and also include every little part as if I would create a silhouette of this drawing. I'm going to fill them in and yeah, I'll see you in the end of the video. All right, so now I have all objects filled with the base color berry. I will vary that, so there will be like brown in the hamburger and different colors that we will need. See you in the next video where we are going to start with the Sardine can see you there. 19. The Sardine Can: All right, so let's do this. What I'm going to start with is to create the different shapes that this can has. I have the base shape on this layer, About that I'm going to create the shape of this edge, this rolled up part and the actually the bottom of the tin. I'm going to create a new layer. Select this base layer so that I'm not going outside of this base shape. Okay, This layer now. Okay, so it is selected and I'm on the layer about it. I'm going to paint the fish first. I'm going to paint them this light gray, so I'm still working with the base shape. And then later I'm going to add the fixtures. Okay. I will at first choose the sketch and increase its opacity. So this is opaque. This is a loose sketch. And just remember that this is a practice and experiment. You can really overdo patterns and textures, and it can really be, at a point, too much. Maybe I will be too much at some parts of these illustrations, but the point is to try it out. All right, now I am alpha locking the layer of the shape of the fish and I'm going to shade that. I'm going to shade this light color with my main color, with my blue. And I'm going to go out to my pattern brushes now. And I will choose this heart texture. I will add this hearts into this fish. And I will choose a dark blue and choose maybe this custom dots brush and add even more shading to the fish. I am experimenting now as well. I can see what works and what doesn't. Okay? For example, I don't like those heart shapes. I will start with the custom dots, brush and I will choose this darker blue and shade it with it. Yeah, this looks better. I will add this shadow to one part of the fish. I will add this very dark blue. Make the brush smaller, and add some shadows around the eyes that will make them pop. Okay. And below the things, Oh, it looks cool, but I feel that it is too simple. I want to add a bit of a texture over its. Oh, let's choose the dotted shaped brush. Yeah, the dotted shaped brush will work fine to add this little dotted texture to the fish down here. Add a bit of a variety. All right. Looks cool. Let's add the bottom of the tin. I will de select. I will create another layer below the fish. I will make it really dark blue. I will go back to my clean shaper and just fill in this shape below the fish. Okay, I will alpha lock this shape and add the pattern over it with this blue, let's say, let's add the heart texture. Okay, cool. Can you see that? Looks super nice. All right, now I'm going to draw this edge of the tin, so I will create another layer. And I will actually choose this really light beach and I will go back to the clean shaper and just fill that in. Okay, cool. Now I'm going to Alpo log this shape and let's add. Pattern to it. I will shade the light color with that dark brown as I did at the colors part. And I will try the fixed texture brush. Let's see. Oh yeah, this looks cool. Can you see that? I can add a little bit of shading around the edges. Again, you don't need to add a pattern to every part of the illustration. I now test the brushes and see what we can do. If you think that it is too much, you don't need to add some of the textures that I'm adding. Okay. You might feel that it is too much and it's totally okay adding just some of the textures or some of the patterns or just to some areas of the artwork is totally cool. All right. I will now do the top part, and I don't really like these lines on the sketch, so I will just go back and add that a bit. Like literally I raise that part. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You can adjust these catches as you wish. Okay. All right. So I will create another layer. We will have a lots of layers, and I will actually paint this top part of the tin, this secondary color that I have chosen. Okay? So I have the clean shaper and I will just fill that in. Okay. I'll flock it. I will, I will shade this with that blue and you choose a custom dots brush, add a bit of shading at the edges of it. Maybe I should go darker. I will choose this dark blue at the edges. Okay, looks cool to me. I will add this light beach to the top as if it was reflecting. I can make it smaller. Add actually a line of reflection here with that brush. It looks super cool. Okay, Like this. Now we are going to do this part of the can and it will be this red color as well. I will create another layer, choose red. And with the clear shape or brush, just fill it. Okay, now I'm going to alpha lock again this shape and a dark blue and some texture. Let's just choose, for example, this fixed texture brush. Yeah, we'll make it bigger and just add this dotted texture here. I will add with this moving with dot shape, I will add some shading, some darkness below this top part of the can. We'll add some here as well to this part. Okay, maybe add a little bit with this fixed texture brush as well. It will look something like this. Okay, cool. I will now move on to the part of the can that is basically the base shape of it. I will just select this layer and create another one. I have one right here. I will choose maybe this hard texture. I will just add that in as well. Also to the sides. Yeah, it looks cool. I will add a little bit of light with this light beach and the dotted custom brush to the edge, but I will make it bigger like this. Okay. Maybe to this part as well. What I'm going to do is to add a little bit of shading this brush, but with this darker color, these little fish inside the tin, that it looks realistic. Amazing. Yeah, I will just decorate it a little bit. I want to add a bit more of the light color to Sardine. Can this top part, I will choose this dark blue again and choose one of the, the background brushes. I will just add to the letters. They are not type of graphically perfect. If you wish, you can just some nicer letters to there, you can write a different name to it. The last thing is that I will create a layer below it all again. Choose a custom brush and I will add a drop shadow. Yeah, I need to select it and I think it looks super cool, right? There are so many textures, maybe somewhere they are a little bit overdone. Like at this part, I think that's a little bit too much. But we need to experiment how these brushes work together, how colors react to them, how we can combine them, et cetera. In the next video, we are going to move on to the Coca Cola glass. Yeah, see you there. 20. The Bottle: All right, this is going to be so much fun. We have this base color, this is the base brown or grayish brown will erase a little bit from here. What I need to do is to shade it a little bit. I will select the base shape of it all. Choose an even darker color and a custom brush that's good for base shading. Yeah, I have this selected and on a new layer. Yeah. I will make it a bit smaller and just add a little bit of shading to the bottle here and there to add it a little bit of a dimension. Okay, Why is it that? Yeah. Okay. Now you can see that I placed to this part of the bottle this little shading. Now I will create a new layer, this orangey red. I will choose my clean shaper. I will fill in the shape of this top part. I will add this shape. Yeah. Cool. Now let's add some reflections with a light beach color and some dots. Let's see which dot pattern works best for this. Yeah, this looks pretty good. This is the moving texture brush, but I will scale the shape a little bit. I'm at the grain sauce and I will scale the bit. Yeah, I will add reflection to this part of the glass actually here as well. Okay, looks super cool. I will actually fill in the whole shape of this. I will need to alpha lock it. I will add these dots to this whole red part at this top as well. To the side of this. I will choose this darker version of the color. You have this color palette, but you can just simply go and choose a darker color. Okay, I will go back to clean this shape and above it I will just add this darker brown and this moving texture brush. And just add some dots right there. I will add some dots right here as well, just for shading. And I will add a drop shadow. I will add a layer below it all. Let's add a drop shadow now with dots. Yeah, at the bottom part of the glass, there should be a little bit darker shadow. Okay. Super cool. As for the logo, we don't really want any copyright issues. So we have a, that is the star shaped brush. Yeah. I will choose this beach color and I will create a layer onto this layer or a layer above. And I will just add this shape to the middle. I will just place it here, maybe make it bigger and alla or little gloss is finished. I think it looks really cool. Yeah, super nice. Okay, let's move on to this one in the next video. 21. The Beanz: Okay, in this video we are going to work on these beans can. All right, I will again select a base and create a new layer above it. I will paint in this top part and the sticker, I will need a color for that. I have this light gray for the top part. I will just choose the clean shaper brush and just fill that in. Maybe at this bottom part as well. Let's not complicate it, okay, for this sticker, I will choose this dark brown. Not that, but maybe this one. Yes, I will just paint it in. I will create another layer and choose this light beach to paint the beans. And while you are progressing and paint and try out different brushes and colors, you will see what works well together. Okay, now I know that this dotted brush is really good for adding shadows and highlights. That's so cool. I haven't tried the correct paper brush yet. I will go to this custom, This is weird, but whatever we have the correct paper picture, I will just add it. I will choose a lighter blue to the base shape. I will just alpha lock this layer. I can just add this crack paper texture here as well, and it looks super cool. Let's just shade it a little bit. I will go back to this custom dots brush. Maybe this dark blue, I will add a little bit of shading to it. The mix of these two textures, it looks like really cool. What do you say? I love it. I have some darkness here. I will add some darkness here as well. I will need to follow this layer of this bottom part. At this top part, I will have a little bit of shading as well. I will need to darken this part. So I will choose the clean shaper and just fill in this dark blue color into it. Now let's add some dots as well as we have so many dot brushes, let's say this is fixed texture brush to the top part. Yeah, looks cool. I will add a little bit of blue inside. Okay, And I will add some highlights as well. You cannot read the beans sign. I will add a little bit of light to this sticker. I will add this very dark brown at first, I will add some dot stairs so that we have a take sure there or patterns to make it custom dot brush and this light beach, Yeah, I will just light behind the letters. Okay. It looks cool. Yeah, we will need a drop shadow as well, so I will create another layer below. And let's have a drop shadow now with the correct paper texture, let's do this dark brown color. Yeah, the drop shadow with this brush also looks pretty cool. Wow, I love it. It's too much at this, like, oh my God, this looks super amazing. What do you say? Yeah. Now we have three different drop shadows with this daughter branch, it looks cool. With this dotted texture or pattern, it looks super amazing as well. And with this cracked paper, it's like, wow, a fact. All right, so let's move on to this one and let's try something else out to see you in the next video. 22. The Tomato Soup: All right, so let's move on to this tomato soup. I will go back to the main layer, select it, create another one. And select this light gray, almost white. And choose the clean shape or brush. I will fill this bottom part of this can with this color. At the top part, I will choose a dark brown, will work fine to its here. Yeah, I need to add the shape here. Does not drown there, but doesn't matter. Cool. All right, and I will fill in this little shape here as well with the same color. Looks cool. Now let's add some shading. I will keep this color actually for the whole shading. I will keep it this brown. I will go to the pattern brushes. I will try to shade with the texture. Let's say I will try to shade with dots again. I get some of these brushes and see what we can do with them. I will choose and just go through this bottom part with it. These dots like this. Yeah, super cool. Now let's add a different one. Let's add a shading that will not work well, for example, with this fixed texture brush. With this moving texture brush, yeah, I will add some shading to this side. Maybe up here as well. Down here. Follow the curve of the can, Okay, We don't need to add too much color actually, or shading at the top. Let's choose even darker one. Just add some dots up here as well. This can is going to be entirely shaded again with dots. Let's create a drop shadow and select. I will add. Yeah, worked fine to combine these two dot textures or brushes. Yeah, as you can see, you don't need to fill in everything with textures. It is totally cool if you just leave out parts of the illustration. What I missed is something from here. I will do the same thing that I have done previously. I will create a new layer above it all and add the star shape. Yeah, I know what, we didn't use the star shape line. Let's just add that into this illustration. We have it here. Let's make it smaller. Add a little bit of this line here. Maybe at this top part as well. Yeah, it looks cool. It adds a bit of acuteness into it. Looks pretty amazing. All right, let's move on to the oranges case. I'll see you in the next video. 23. The Oranges: All right, so in this video we are going to shade these oranges and I am going to try out shading with the heart texture. Okay, let's see. I am going to shade with this dark brown. Select the base shape, create a new layer above it. Will add shadows and I will make it a bit smaller. I will add shadows to this part where these oranges meet. Okay, I will add some shading down here, also where they meet here. Maybe a little bit of shading through the middle where these two oranges meet, where two things meet, they create this shadow. So if I push my two fingers together, you will see a shadow between them. We are supposed to draw those shadows as well. Okay, I will add some textures into the middle of these oranges. And basically, I think that I'm good, but I need a little bit more. I will this custom dots brush to add a little bit of darkness, darkness to these oranges. To add more and make it a bit, I don't know, it looks even better. Let's add some brightness. I missed that. Like highlights to top. I will add to this middle part of the oranges. I will to the edges here a little bit. I need some line work. You know what? I'm going to choose the clean shaper and just paint this part of the oranges. What I mean, that this part. Okay. The middle. I will add lines into it. I just missed the inner lines or inner color from that. Yeah, I just missed that. I will just add those here. Yeah, it looks immediately better here. We yeah, super cool. All right. Now let's add a drop shadow from these hard shapes. We haven't done that yet. I will go back to this dark brown. I will choose this scale down hard texture and add a drop shadow. Yeah, bit darker, one here. All right. Now we shade it with a hard texture as well and we created a drop shadow. Let's just move on to the pepper paste. See you in the next video. 24. The Pepper Paste: All right, let's move on to this pepper paste. What I'm going to do is to at first paint the colors. Right. I will go back to the base shape and hit Select. I will create another layer. I will choose this original red, the clean sh, I will just fill in this pepper, this top of the tube. Now, I want the two parts to stay white, but on the others to be gray, I will create a new layer and choose this gray. Let's see, now that's too dark. Let's go lighter, gray. Even lighter, maybe. This one. Yeah, it looks good. I will just fill in this layer here and up here, and this part as well. Now, let's shade it. How I'm going to shade it. Let's go away again with some dots. I will shade it like this, gray with the blue. Let's see what patterns we have. Let's try and shade with this dotted shaped brush. I will make these dots a bit smaller. With this brush, I can play with the size of the dots. I will add a shading here. So here, cool. Maybe here as well. Okay, to this part two. Yeah, it looks great. It has a similar effect with the custom dots that we have created, but still has that very look. I will make the dots a bit bigger so that I can go through them and add those dots. This will make them a bit smaller. And I will add some dots below this pepper to this, maybe to this side as well. Just a little bit. Yeah, it looks totally cool. I will create another layer for the drop shadow. Will select. I will just add and use this exact same dot brush for the entire shading. I will try to a dark shadow around the base shape like this. As you can see, I'm going dense outside. We'll have a shadow even here as if it was like lying on a surface. I will add the shadow below here as well. If you need help with the shapes of the shadow, where to shade with these objects, just grab reference photos. These catches are done from reference photos as well. It is always a good idea to work with them. Just draw the, draw the shapes of the shadows and the highlights, just as we did with the spheres. And you will have it easier. I want a little bit of a reflection, so I will choose this very light beach on top. I will just will just add some, maybe to the paprika as well, into this top as well like this. Yeah, it looks cool. I think it's coming together. What do you say? So let's move on to this hamburger in the next video. 25. The Hamburger: All right, so in this video we are going to illustrate this hamburger. And I had in mind that we should combine most of the textures all together to see how they look like. Because we so far combine two or three max. Yeah, but let's just start with getting the shapes. Right now, I don't like this red as the color of, of the dough. I will select the base, create another layer. Let's just find, I think this brown could go well with this part. I will just grab the clean shaper and feeling this shape will make it big. This shape. And this shape as well. Oops. This is the part where we arrived, where we will need different colors. Because as you can see and take a look at this color palette, we don't have yellow and green. We will have cheese and a salad here. We will need those. But let's first draw the color of the meat. I think this this dark or this dark? Which one? Maybe it is darker, let's say color will be okay for that. So I will create another layer and just fill in the shape of the meat. All right, now let's draw the cheese, create another layer, and let's choose a yellow color. But as we are kind of in a muted color palette and we don't have that saturated colors, I would choose kind of a golden one. So I just pushed this here at the edge of orange and yellow and chose this darker version, mustard color, for example, for the cheese. So I will just feel in the shape of it right here. Okay, super cool. And now let's add the salad. So I will create another layer and let's do the same with green. I will just this, I would love something like this For the green. Not that dark, but yeah, I will push this a bit towards yellow. Let's see. Yeah, it would work. Oops, I will fill in the shape of the salad. Okay, totally cool. Now, let's just shade it for this. I will go back to the dotted shape, to the ban brushes and this custom shape, because we will need like this nice shading to create a dimension, I will choose for this color. Let's just try out the theory of drawing with the same color, but wait, the darker version of it. Let's add, oops, yeah, I will choose that. I will actually flock all of these new shapes I have just created. And I will just shade that. I will add this shadow to this edge of it, also here below the meat. Okay, I will add back a little bit with this red so that there is color variation at the top. It will create a great reflection. As you can see, I made it a little bit bigger and I went through the shading as well, and it created a really nice effect of going from one color to another. I will show you again, or I will show you it here we have this small grain shading and I will just go through it all with these bigger shapes and it will create us this brutally amazing texture. So there is color variation in it, there is gradation in it, et cetera, So it is super cool. I will add the season dots at the top. I will just choose this light beer and just simply just paint them in. I will not shade them. I might add a little bit of shadow of them, but let's not go to too much detail. This type of illustration is not that detailed. Yeah, super cool. I also miss a little bit of reflection. I will go back to the custom dot brush and make it a bit smaller. I will keep this color. I will add just a little bit of reflection in the top here. Maybe here as well. Maybe here. Okay, now let's go to the tomatoes and add the edges of the tomatoes. I will choose this darker brown with the clean shape. Where are the tomatoes? Okay, I kept them the original. I will just go back to the main shape and just fill that in. It's going to be the edge of the tomatoes. I will shade this like in a way. I will create a new layer for the shading. Let's shade this red with dark brown. Let's choose the darker, we Okay, choose the dotted shape brush. Let's just try to shade with that. Yeah, this is going to be the dotted shaped brush texture added here at the edges. I will add more. Yeah. Cool. Let's go to the cheese. I will erase the extra from here. Yeah. Okay. To the cheese we haven't shaded with this crack texture paper. Let's just do that. Will again, select this color and choose a darker version of it because that's what we are doing now. I will make this brush a bit smaller and just go through it. This is going to be a bit weird, but Okay, so we add it a little bit, add lightest bells. I will choose this very light one and I will go through this cheese with that. Maybe that will make it look better. Not the best, but let's move on. Here is the salad. I will choose the main color, make it a bit darker. And let's shade it with Mm, heart texture. There will be hearts in it, let's say. Now let's shade the meat. Let's shade it with this small hard texture. I will add this light beach to the top of it like this, maybe a dark brown to the bottom. Wow, it looks so great. Can you see that? This is, my experiments are good. We now know that this combination doesn't look good, but this looks good. Wow, I love this. There are three different colors. The base color shoving through. This is the area where only this shape is looking and only this color. And where they meet, wow, it looks super fun. So this is what I love about this. You can find some cool combinations that will make your artworks look amazing. Let's just put a drop shadow below, so I will create a layer below widow, and choose this very dark brown. And I will choose the heart shape again, It looks pretty nice. I love how it shades it creates so nice half tones. Creating art is not about perfection. Okay. Just remember that enjoying and discovering, and like, you don't need to reinvent the wheel, but you can invent things like why not? The way you like to do things is always good. It is not bad. Okay, super cool. I love it. Let's just move on to the last one, and let's fill this jar of jam together. 26. The Jam: All right, let's just do this again. What I'm going to do is to select the base shapes and create another layer so that I can fill in the colors. I will choose this blue, and again, I'm getting the clean shaper. I will just fill in the top. I think I'm going back to blue. I'm missing the blue because there are too many reds in the middle. I will make the sticker light blue. I will just fill that in. Okay, cool. Let's fill it with a gem. And that will be red. So I will create a layer below this. Actually change. Or I could even change the whole color red, but I don't want to. Okay, I will just choose this red and fill it till with it. So this is going to be our jam. Let's just shade it. I am add texture brush 1.1 at this point, I don't even remember when we did that, but what I'm going to do is to make it bigger and just go through it all. Can you see these small dots? What an interesting texture. It as it's like paper texture, like little dots. I will make it smaller and add a little light in the middle. Wow, this looks also great. Okay, looks fun. I will add some light to this part as well. Okay, I can do that changes in light with this brush, but this contrast looks pretty amazing. I love it. Maybe I will use it at my final artwork. All right, I will choose a dark blue and let's try to add shadows. I will add shadows at this. Again, not just a bit. Okay? Sweet. Okay, I will deselect and create another layer below it and add drop shadow if I can. So white but really nice. It is good if you take notes of which brushes you like, If you have too many of them, sometimes you get, you just lose the track. All right, let me summarize. This is all what happened here in the next video. And then we will arrive to the end of the class. So see you in the next video. 27. The Summary: All right, so what do you say, I love this so much? I think it looks amazing, like what we have just done here. There were texture combinations that didn't work. There were texture combinations that did work. What I love here is the shading with this texture brush and these random dots that we made here, it made the sardines look a little bit creepy, but they look totally cool. I love it. I love how this works. Like this dark blue with this red. And I also love what kind of a drop shadow this brush does. I love the simplicity of this one. Simple brushes with shapes. I mean simple shapes. Simple shadows with dots. It is so simple and so nice. I love how this color works together with this one here. I love the cracked paper texture as a light. I love how these two colors work together. Also, a drop shadow looks cool here. Well, this is not my favorite, but I love this line and how cute it makes this can in this pepper one. I love the drop shadow. Actually it looks pretty cool. The heart shapes are amazing. Like I totally love how this goes. This gradient is beautiful. I will use that. Here is my hamburger. I love how these colors work together, these three colors. At this, am I love this part of the texture? Okay, experimenting with these textures and patterns will help you to get closer to what works for you to create brushes that fill your needs in illustration. So you don't need to follow anyone and anyone's, I don't know, path, find and dig your own path and enjoy enjoy it. All right. So what I want from you as the class project is to select one image from here. What went the best for you? What was the most joyful for you to create? For me, the Sardans. I love them. And I will create a thumbnail image for this class with it. Yeah. And create a more detailed sketch because this is really rough and you can customize the writing, you can customize the shapes and apply those textures, color combinations and patterns that worked for you during this exploration process and create a final artwork with it. And I will not be with you with that process because I really want you to work on your one. In a second, you can see a sped up video, how I created the thumbnail image that I'm actually not finished with yet when I'm shooting this. But I will be when I will edit the video so you can see that process, how I worked. And then we will see each other at the final video and summarize what did you learn in this class. I wish you a joyful process in your creation process, so Okay, see you in the next video. 28. Final Thoughts: Congratulations, you did it. You finished the class. You sticked till the end. And I'm so proud of you. Now you have 300 million new brushes and the skills to create more. You also have your little illustrations and the final artwork, and I'm sure that you are proud of yourself as well. Now, show us your artworks. Go to the project gallery and applaud your class project. Include your process photos if you have some, and also the final artwork. Make sure to take your time to add some words to it to describe your experience. And I would also love to invite you to add the review, or write a review to this class and express yourself also there. It is really important to me. Okay, so now let's see what we have learned in this class. In this class, you have learned what are textures and that by applying textures, you can get rid of that digital look. You have learned the basic principles of shading. Then you practice shading. You've got introduced to procreate brushes by creating custom brush. And the line brush then learned about the three types of pattern brushes and well created, all free from simple dots. Then we shaded the fish and created again, three different types of brushes. But now from a handmade and hand drawn base, we again tried shading with these brushes, then trying them out in color as well. We tested them all on eight simple illustrations of food and packaging. And then we created the final illustration on our own and summarized our best results in this artwork. Well, I do hope that this class was enlightening for you and that you keep experimenting. Follow me in Social for up to date infos and seeing my other classes. It was a pleasure to have you here happy creating.
