Transcripts
1. Intro: Do you like creating
things in Procreate and then re-purposing it to
use for other projects. I do. Hi campus your care
and thank you so much for stopping by and
checking out this class. In this class we're
going to create a tiger print repeat
patterns using Procreate. Then we're gonna alter it just a little bit to give it
that fuzzy fur and look. Once we have that
pattern created, we're going to create
a 90 day journal using the page
assist in Procreate. Then we'll incorporate our
tiger print for its cover. Since this is for you if
you love animal prints, if you like re-purposing
your artwork for other uses. And you also want to create a journal for yourself
or to sell online. We'll be using the iPad, the Procreate app,
and an Apple pencil. If you're ready,
let's get started.
2. Class Project : In this lesson, we're going
to go over the class project and why I'm so excited to
see what you come up with. For the class project.
I would love to see any tiger stripe
pattern that you create for this class here
in the project section. If you take the next step
and create a 90 day journal, I would so love to see that here in the project
section as well. I must have a wild side
because I adore animal prints. I love seeing, using and
purchasing animal prints. I cannot wait to see your creations in the project
section of this class. Up next, we'll talk about the free resource I
supply for this class.
3. Free Resource: In this lesson, we'll go over
the free resource that I supply to help create your tiger print
pattern. In Procreate. In this class, I created a tiger stripe smooth brush that you can use to
create your stripe. It's just a smooth
and streamline brush with tapered edges. But it gives you that sleek look when you're creating
your stripes. Now you can go ahead and use any of your favorite brushes. I'll also show you a Procreate supplied brush for your fuzzy first
stripes in a later lesson. Up next, we'll create
our tiger print base.
4. Tiger Print Base: In this lesson, we're
going to create a four-by-four
tagger print base. Before we start, I just
wanted to make you aware of some inspirational
sites that you can find, some tiger images that you can use when you're
creating your tiger stripe. One of my favorite places other
than Pinterest, Unsplash. If you just go on Unsplash in your web browser
and type in tiger, you'll see all these
images, amazing images. Might I add on tigers? Look how cool these photos are. They are absolutely amazing. When you find an image
that you want to save to use as a reference, either hold her
taps of photo until the download button is
on the bottom right, tap it and you should get
a direct link to download. You can also tap or
hold until the picture enlarges and then you can hit the download link
on the top right. These will be saved to your
downloads on your iPad. Once you have your images that you want to use as reference, you can import them like
I did here in Procreate, all I did was go
to Actions menu. I tapped, Add, Insert a file or a photo depending on where you
say don't want your iPad. I just added a couple here
and I grouped them together. You'll see me refer
back to this photo several times as I'm
creating my tiger stripes, I am sure you'll want to reference your own
photos as well. But checkout all these stripes. There's a lot of individual
stripes on this tiger, but there's also some
that are connected here. For the forehead, the body. I'll give you a
second to take a look at these amazing tigers. Let's create tap the plus symbol top right in your gallery. New canvas. We're going to create
inches, four by four. Tap, done, tap, Create. I'm going to grab that
tiger smooth brush and I'm going to turn
on my drawing guide. It. We want to go to the Actions
menu edit drawing guide. And I'm going to bump up my
grid size and I want to make sure it's full boxes
all the way around. I'm going to add a layer and I'm going to choose a bright color. I'm just going to mark some of these grid
boxes up at the top, and I'm just giving
myself two spaces each. Now I'm going to
duplicate that layer and I'm going to flip it vertically. And I'm going to move it down. So it's parallel to the top. I'm going to merge that
down, add a layer. And I'm going to do the
same thing for the side. I'm just going to mark these
out and I'm gonna give myself two boxes as reference. I'm just trying to line
up exactly on that line. I'm going to
duplicate that layer, flip it horizontally,
and I'm gonna move that parallel to
the right-hand side. You can make sure you're
snapping is set at a higher level and this will
make it just snap in place. I'm now going to
merge that down. I'm gonna go back to my
bottom layer, grab black. I'm going to start just
drawing out some wavy lines. These are going
to be my stripes. I just want some
of it to be thick. So I'm going to
make a double line. I'm just gonna make
sure my edges or sealed so I can fill
it in with color. Here. I'm going
to start off with those blue lines and I'm just going to do
half of a stripe, just making sure my
tip is filled in. Before I fill it with color, I'm going to grab
the selection tool and tap Copy and Paste. Now I want to flip it horizontally and
flip it vertically. And I'm gonna move it up to the top two blue
bars that I created. I don't expect this to
be perfect or exact. It just gives me a reference for the placement of the stripe. Just going to turn
off my snapping. I can move it more easily. I'm going to turn
my snapping back on because I do like to use this feature when I'm
creating a repeat pattern, I'm just cleaning up my stripes
just to make it a little bit more pointed at the edge and a little bit more smoother. Going to go back to
that first layer. Now I'm going to create a, another stripe doing
the same thing by using those two blue
lines on the side. I'm just cleaning up
my tip of that stripe. Now I'm going to duplicate that. Tap Copy and Paste flip
horizontally and vertically. I'm going to move it to the
opposite side, blue bars. I'm just making sure it
lines up to the side. Going back to that
original first layer and do the same
thing for the top. Copy and paste. Flip it vertically and
flip it horizontally. And I'm going to position
it at the bottom. Do you see it kind of overlap. So I'm going to have
to adjust this. First. I'm going to turn
my snapping off. I'm just positioning it
between those two bars. Now. I'm just adjusting
it and I'm going to attach it to that stripe
that it's overlapping. And making sure I fill that in. I'm gonna go back to the
original first layer and repeat the process. Just doing half of a
stripe and filling it in. I'm going to copy and
paste that again. Flip it horizontally, flip
it vertically and move it to those top two
remaining blue bars. I'm just cleaning this up and giving myself
a pointed edge. I noticed that this stripe here has to be
positioned over more. I'm just going to grab
it and tap it over. And I'm just going to
fix this one as well. Now gonna merge all
these layers together. Delete my blue bar guides. I'm going to duplicate
that layer four times. And you want to duplicate
the original layer. I'm going to turn off
that original layer. I'm going to edit
my drawing guide. I'm going to bump up the
grid side to the max. This way I have a
grid of four squares. I'm going to move my first
layer to the bottom right. I want to make sure
my snapping is on. It'll snap in place. I'm gonna go up to
the next layer. I'm going to position that
whole thing to the top left. I'm going to repeat that with a third layer and move
it to the bottom left. We want to move the last
layer to the top rate. I'm not reducing
the size and all. I'm just moving the entire piece diagonally and I want to
make sure it snaps in place. And you can see if you blow it up that falls
directly in that grid. So you might have to adjust it. It doesn't show up as gold bars. I'm going to merge all
these layers together. I'm just going to clean this
up and fill in those gaps. You can take as much time
as you need for this. I tend to take a little bit
more time when I'm creating my repeat patterns in Procreate than I do in my
other software programs. But I do love using all the supplied brushes and capabilities that
procreate offers. I don't limit myself
when I'm creating my repeat patterns to just
one software program. I'm just going through and just fixing some
of these stripes. You will see that I do
this process several times until I can get this
repeat pattern, just write. All I'm doing is filling up my four-by-four base
here with stripes. I won't know how it
actually will look visually until I place
it in a 12 by 12 grid. In the next lesson, I'm going to turn off
my background color. I'm gonna go to the Actions
menu, tap Share, PNG. I'm going to save
it to my files. I'm going to name it tiger stripes so I
can find it easily. Up next, we'll create our
tire imprint, repeat pattern.
5. Tiger Repeat Pattern: In this lesson, we're
going to create a tiger print, repeat pattern. Go back to your gallery, tap the plus symbol to
create a new document, we're going to use inches, 12 by 12 tap Create. I'm going to change the
background color to an orange. I'm going to go to
the Actions menu. Add, Insert a file
and a guy grab that tiger stripes that we just created in the
previous lesson. I'm just confirming my size
is 1200 by 1200 pixels. I'm going to turn on my drawing guide and I'm just going to bump that up until I
have full-sized blocks. I'm going to position that
first block top-left. Make sure you're snapping is on. I'm going to duplicate
that. Just going to place that below. I'm going to repeat
this process. I'm going to duplicate it and
move it down to the bottom. You want to make sure you
duplicate that first layer? I just want to make sure
it's snapped in place. I'm just going to repeat this. For the entire 12
by 12 document. You'll see gold bars when you
know it's not some place. I'm just moving this
one to the top right. Duplicate that and
I'm gonna move that one the middle
right-hand side. And that one didn't
snap in place. I want to enlarge us, get a better view and just reposition it until
it snaps in place. And I'm just going to
duplicate my last block. It should snap in place. I'm just going to
double-check everything looks like it's
good and lined up. I'm just going to change
the background color. Now let's reference
are tigers again. I just want to double-check. I think this is pretty good. But it's still needs cleaned
up a little bit like here. I'm gonna go back to that
original four-by-four block. Turn on my background color
so I can see it better. I'm just gonna touch this
up as you can see here, I had some whitespace, so I'm just going
to clean that up. You can see here
there's needs erased. I'm going to just smooth out
my stripes a little bit, make them a little bit thinner. I'm just going over giving my tips of my
stripes a little bit more of a taper, smoothing it out. Again, like I said, this does take a
little bit more time going back and forth
using Procreate. But it's definitely
worth it to be able to use all the supplied brushes
that procreate offers. And don't forget, you
can always go back to your tiger images if you
need to see more references. When it comes to
the tiger stripes, the repeat pattern
that we're doing is just a repeat seamless pattern. There are several other patterns that you can create a half drop, but that's just a little
bit more advanced. And I know that there are some incredible teachers that do offer that class
if you want to dive deeper into
learning how to create even more Procreate
repeat patterns. I'm trying not to touch the outer edges of this
four-by-four block. This way it doesn't
interfere with a placement once it's in the 12 by
12 grid that we created. If you want, you can
duplicate what you just created and do the same
process that we did. Move the first layer top-left, second layer, bottom-right. Your third layer will move
it to the bottom-left. Make sure it snaps in place. You'll see the gold bars will move the last
layer top-right. You should be able to see
that everything lines up. You need to touch something up. Now's the time to do it. Going to merge these altogether. I'm just going to
add another stripe here in this little empty area. I'm going to turn
the background off, go to the Actions menu, Share PNG and save
it to my files. I'm gonna name this
one tiger stripes to. Now let's go back to
the 12 by 12 group to merge all these layers
together and turn that layer off. I'm
going to add a layer. Go to the Actions menu, Add, Insert a File. I'm going to insert
that tiger stripes to. I'm gonna make sure
it's 1200. By 1200. I'm going to move that top-left, make sure my snapping is on. I'm going to duplicate that
layer and move it down. Make sure it snaps in place. Duplicate the original layer, and move that one
to the bottom left. Duplicate the original layer. And I'm gonna move that
over to the middle. And then I'm going to repeat that and move it
over to the side. Repeat this process until this
whole 12 by 12 is filled. I'm just going to fast-forward the video wife finished
this process up. There we go. I'm saying
that looks pretty good. I'm going to turn the
drawing guide off. And I'm going to merge
all these together. There's our first one,
Here's our second one. I think I don't want to
fix this stripe here. See here that distinct
get lined up. So we're gonna go back
to that four-by-four. Let's just clean
this up a little bit more and you can see here
I need to fill that in. I'm just going to smooth some of these areas out again here. Now I'm going to duplicate
that four times. Turn off the original layer. I'm going to position
on top-left, going to take the second
layer WHO that bottom left. My third duplicates is
going to move bottom right. My last duplicated layer is
going to move top-right. Just make sure it
snaps in place. I'm going to emerge altogether. And I'm just going to fix
up some of these stripes. And again, try not to
touch the outside edges. Otherwise you'll have to go
through this process again. I'm just going to smooth
some of these out. Like I said, this does take a little bit more time when you're creating
stripes in procreate. I'm just going to
fast-forward the video. Why cleanup as smooth
out these tiger stripes? Just to make sure I'm
going to duplicate that again four times. Turn off my original layer. I'm going to position my layers like I've
done previously. I can move the first layer top-left, next
layer bottom-left. My third layer, bottom-right. My last duplicated
layer, top-right. Just make sure everything
lines up and snaps in place. Merge all these together. Again. I'm just going to go
through the process again as smoothing out
my tiger stripes. Trying not to touch
the outside edge. Going to turn off the
background layer off. And I'm going to go
to Actions menu, Share PNG and save the file
and name it tiger stripes. Three. I'm going to go back to
that 12 by 12 document. I'm going to turn
off that layer. Actions menu, add,
import a file. Just double-check and make
sure it's 1200 by 1200 pixels. And I'm going to
position that top-left. I'm just repeating
the process again. I'm duplicating that layer, shipping that second
layer underneath. I'm duplicating
the original layer again and moving that one down. I'm just going to
repeat this process until the tool by 12 is filled, making sure each layer the
eye move in place, snaps. You will see horizontal
or vertical rules like this to show that it's
been snapped in place. One more time. I'm gonna merge all
the layers together. There's our reference again. We can look at our tiger
stripes again here. I'm just going to hold my
finger down and choose a color. I'm going to go back
to my 12 by 12. I'm going to add a layer. I'm just going to fill that
layer with that color. I'm just going to adjust
a slightly. There you go. Let me show you one more option to add some more variation into
your tiger stripes. I'm gonna duplicate that layer so I don't change anything. I'm going to go back
to my tigers again and I'm just going to
look again at some of these stripes on
this tiger here are connected on at least one side. I want to incorporate that here. These are all separate. Let's go back to our
four-by-four grid. Here. I'm just going to add another
stripe and connect it. I'm just going to connect
these two together. I'm just going to clean this up. I'm going to use a hard airbrush to clean this up a
little bit better. Gonna go back, and I'm
going to connect these two. Let's connect these two. Making sure I have
smooth stripes. We can even connect these two. It's okay if you're connecting two stripes that fall
on the outside edge, as long as you don't mess
with the outside edge, you won't have to redo the duplicating and
move them in place. We want to turn off
our background. Then we'll go to
our Actions menu, Share PNG files, and we'll
name this one tiger stripes. Five will go back to our 12 by 12 Actions menu. Add an import, a file, and we're going to
grab that tigers five. And we're just going
to duplicate this several times until the
whole 12 by 12 is filled. I will just fast-forward the video while I
finished this process up. There you go. This is
just another variation when it comes to tiger stripes. Next or add some fuzzy for tour tiger print repeat pattern.
6. Tiger Fuzzy Fur: In this lesson, we're
going to add some fuzzy for to tie
your print pattern. I just want to go back
to that reference photo and you can see
here that a Tigers for tends to give the stripes a little bit of a
rough texture edge. Want to recreate that? Let's go back to that
four-by-four grid. We're gonna duplicate that. I'm going to turn my
background color on. A, gonna grab a supply
brush from Procreate, go to the textures. We're going to grab
this one, melaleuca. I'm going to grab black. I'm going to add a layer. I'm just going to
reduce my brush size. I just want to go
around the outside edge of each of those stripes. You can see that I'm not
putting a lot of pressure down. It is a little bit
lighter in some areas. But that's okay
because we will fix this by duplicating this
layer when we're all done. I'm just going to
fast-forward the video. Why? I just go around the outside edge of
each of these stripes. Now I'm going to
duplicate that layer, and I'm going to duplicate
the original layer just so I have a backup in case I had to go
back and change it. I'm going to turn
that layer off and merge the top layers together. Now I'm going to duplicate
that layer four times. I just renaming this
one layer three, so I don't confuse it with
anything else that I'm doing. And I'm going to move my
first layer top-left. My second layer at the
bottom left, top right. My very last layer,
bottom right. I'm going to turn off
my background color, go to the Actions
menu, Share PNG, and save it to my files. Gonna go back to
my 12 by 12 grid. Go to the Actions menu, Add, Insert a file. I'm gonna insert
that tiger stripe, and I'm just going
to move it in place. Duplicate that original layer. And I'm going to repeat that same process that
we've done several times in the previous lesson until the whole tool
by 12 grid is filled. I'm just going to
rename this layer. As you can see here, this
has a lot of texture. We can even go back and add some connected stripes to
our fuzzy for pattern. And if we do that, we
want to add a layer, grab the tiger
stripes smooth brush, and connect our stripes
with this brush first. Then we'll add a layer, grab the Melaleuca brush again, and outline the
sections we just added. We're going to
duplicate that layer and merge all the
top layers together. We need to turn the
background color off, go to Actions Share, save as a PNG, and save it to our files. I want to merge together all those previous layers
so we don't confuse them. Now, I'm going to insert
that file we just created. I'm just going to fast forward. Wife finish this out. Remember, you can always change your background color for
even more added variations. Now that you created several
tiger stripe patterns, I would love to
see one of them or all of them in the project
section of this class. Next, we'll create
our journal page.
7. Journal Page: In this lesson, we're going
to create a journal page. We're going to create
a new document. Tap the plus symbol, tap bright. We're going to use
inches 8.5 by 11. Tap Create. I'm going to go to
the Actions menu. Turn on my drawing guide. I'm going to bump up my
grid size to about a 100. This gives me a good space
in between my lines. I am going to grab a monoline
brush, calligraphy brushes. I'm using black. I'm just going to go back
and turn on my assisted drawing just to allow myself to have even
straighter lines. I'm going to start off
with a short line. This could be used for
the date in your journal. I'm just going to hold this until a straight
line is completed. Well, one to draw a
full horizontal rule for our journal body. Mexico gonna go and separate those two lines by circling
it. Cut and paste. This way it's separate
from my long lines and I'm gonna duplicate that
layer and move it down, falls on the next
line of my grid. And I'm just going to turn
my snapping down so I can position it more accurately. I'm going to duplicate
that original layer and move my next line down, falls on that grid row. Just going to make
sure that they line up on the left-hand side. I'm going to merge these
three layers together and duplicate that
and move it down. I'm going to merge that down, duplicate this, and move
this section in place. I'm just going to
repeat this until my entire journal
page is filled. Merge Down and duplicate. Merge that down. Looks like we need to
duplicate one more time. And I'm just going to position
that down and don't worry, anything that goes below
our 8.5 by 11 inch page, it'll just get cut off by
Procreate and that's okay. Merge that down. There is our journal page. I'm just going to position
this slide over to the right. There's no right or wrong
way to position it. I just want to put
it on the right. It's just my preference. I'm going to merge
it down. Next, we'll create our 90 day journal.
8. 90 Day Journal: In this lesson, I'm
going to show you two different ways to
create your 90-day journal. In Procreate. Go to the Actions menu. Turn on Page assist. Turn off your drawing guide. Now you can tap new page. Go to the original
journal page, tap Copy, go back to that page to go
to Actions, Add and paste. Let's repeat this
new page. Tap Paste. This gives you a page three, and we'll do it one more time. New page, tap Paste. We can rename this
first one, page one. If you happen to
sell this journal, you may want these
layers labeled. You can also choose to
create this another way. Since we copied and pasted
our journal Page four, we can duplicate this layer. We're going to duplicate
that layer several times. If you don't want to count your duplicated layers
or you lose count, you can go to the Actions menu Canvas and go to Canvas
Information, Layers. And it'll tell you how many
layers you've already used. We're going to keep
duplicating this. Again. You can check your layers
and we're going to duplicate this until we reach 90 layers. Up. Next we'll create our tiger
cover four or 90 day journal.
9. Tiger Cover: In this lesson, we're
going to create a tiger cover for
our 90-day journal. Go to page one and we're
going to add a layer, and we're going to move
this below page one. We're going to rename it cover. I'm gonna go back to
that 12 by 12 document. Go to Actions, Add
and Copy Canvas. Now we'll go back to
our journal document. Paste and Fit to Canvas. It should fill it up completely. And if it doesn't
just resize it, now I'm going to add a layer. I'm going to use
that monoline brush. I'm just going to create
a shape so I can use as a plaque underneath
my journal title. You can do it as a
rectangle or a square. I'm going to actually
create an oval. Center it towards the top. I'm going to turn on
my drawing guide just so I can see a better placement. I'm going to turn that
drawing guide off. I'm going to fill
that oval with black. Now I'm gonna change my color to white and add some texts. Actually, it because
this is still in pages, this I'm gonna change
my color back to black so I can see
it as I type it out. If you're going to
sell the journal, just remember to use a
commercial use font. If it's for your
own personal use, you can use any font that you
have in the Procreate app. I'm just typing out journal. I'm going to group
these three layers together so they can
all show up together. Gonna change my text to white. And I'm going to center
it above that oval. I'm actually going
to change that font. I want to flatten that group. Now we can import it. Go to the Actions menu, share and you want
to use the PDF under the share layers because this isn't mainly going
to use digitally. You can get away with
using any of these. I'm just going to name it
Tiger three-month journal. Here's a great time for
you to share your journal that you just created in the project section
of this class. Next, I'll show you how to use the 90-day journal
using just procreate.
10. Use Journal in Procreate: In this lesson, we'll
go over how to use our 90 day journal
using Procreate. You can actually use your 90 day journal here
inside of Procreate. It is easy enough to do. You can duplicate this
file so you always have an original file to
use as a backup, you could turn off your cover, go to your first page. You can choose any color. Nice script, brush
would work great. Fill in your date. Start journaling. Or one of the reasons I like
to use a journal in procreate is
because I'm usually in Procreate all the time anyway. This is just a great
added bonus of being able to use a favorite brush and writing inside my
curated journal. When I'm done filling
out my journal page, I can just rename that
layer to the date. I can easily reference
each layer with page ASIS. There's no turning
off all the layers. Once I go to that layer, I can write directly
in that page. Up next, we'll import our 90 day journal we just
created into GoodNotes.
11. Use Journal in GoodNotes: In this lesson, if you happen to love note-taking
apps like GoodNotes, I'm gonna show you how to import your 90-day journal you
created in G-code notes. If you like, or if
you prefer to import your 90 day journal inside a note-taking app
like GoodNotes. It's easy enough to do. Goodnotes is a purchase app, but it is worth the
investment because there's so many different things that
you can do within that app. Its main focus is to be used for note-taking,
journaling, planning. All of that. I'm
going to open up my GoodNotes, app, tap Import. I'm going to go
find my journal we just created and import it. It's fairly easy to use. You just flip the page
like it's a book. You need to click
this icon up here. Your features will get
displayed and can be used. Fill in the date. Fill in your page. You can erase. Page numbers are displayed
on the bottom left. You can click off and all
your features go away. You can go back
to the main menu. Here's a collection
level, my goodies. You can even favorite this by tapping the star
at the top right. Up next is a heartfelt
thank you to all of you.
12. Thank You: Thank you so much from the
bottom of my heart for taking your time and
watching this class. If you haven't done so yet, I would absolutely love it if
you hit that follow button. So you can get notified
in my next class now that you've created
your tiger print pattern, you can repurpose that
for so many more uses. You can change your color
variations and sell it online. Now that you created
a 90 day journal, you can also create a six-month, maybe even a twelv month. It really depends on the layers that you have
available in Procreate. But there's nothing stopping
you for creating what you do have available to you. If you want to find out some of the benefits of journaling, make sure you check
out my classes here on Skillshare,
like this one. But there's so many
more advantages to take at the time in journal. Even if it's only
five minutes a day, I can't wait to see
you in my next class.
