Travel Art with Sang | Procreate

1. Travel Art with Sang | Procreate : Today, I'm gonna be teaching you how to turn your vacation photographs into dreamy procreate illustrations. Hm. Hello, I'm Sang Angela Kamar, and I'm here at the beautiful Luxury Jeep Islands. Who doesn't like being on holiday? The sunshine, the beach, the sand, the pristine, green and turquoise waters behind you. Well, I love being on holiday, and right now I'm coming to you from Luxury Jeep Islands. Now in my free time, because I have a lot of time on holiday, I sit and do traditional art. I sometimes do Procreate art. I also take a lot of photographs. So today, I'm going to be teaching you how to turn your photographs, your vacation photographs into illustrations on Procreate. This class is for beginners or anyone who's on holiday who wants to create their beautiful photographs into art illustrations on Procreate. It's also for people who just come from their vacation or who are on their vacation, wanting to create something amazing through their photograph. This class is a beginner friendly class. It is for anyone who knows basics of Procreate. What you need for this class is an iPad, an Apple pencil, Procreate, and probably an old holiday picture, or else just be on vacation and just take a screenshot of where you are. This class can be applied to a traditional art as well. However, my focus is going to be primarily on Procreate and how to create some dreamy vacation illustrations, which you can gift or just have framed as memories of your trip. So let's get started. Oh. 2. Project Ideas: For your project, take any holiday photograph. Whether you use your current vacation photographs, or whether you use old vacation photographs, it doesn't matter. The point is to create beautiful illustrations based on the photograph from your vacation, so you can either create a postcard or frame the picture or create just memories that you want to celebrate. The beautiful thing about illustrations and using your photo references as illustrations is you get an original approach to something that you have already lived. You enjoyed that memory, and then creating the art just emphasizes that feeling and emphasizes that memory. I love creating art based on the photographs that I have taken during holidays. Today, I'm on holiday, so this process feels a lot more nicer. Wow. 3. Demonstration: Create a new document. Add a photo from the gallery. If you don't have a photo from the gallery, you take a photograph, wait for the guy to go. Then you take a photograph of what you're seeing. In this case, it's a nice overcast sky with the sunset. Now on the corner, there's a use button, click on use button and then resize the photo according to what you'd like. You can make it bigger, you can make it smaller. You can crop the photo. I decided to crop the sides. Now, the photograph is in one layer. I'm going to increase the saturation, the brightness, just to make it a lot more authentic because the photograph seemed a little more dull and I wanted to match the correct colors. After that, you open a new layer. I'm going to be using the colors from the photograph, take the dropper and color and match the color. I'm choosing any brush that I want to choose the colors. Using the eyedropper tool, I'm sampling the different colors in the photograph. I'm beginning with, for example, the sand. I don't know if you can notice this, but all the colors are looking a little dull. But that we can change with hue and saturation and brightness. And that's the color of the cloud, and then that's the color of the sea. You can make it darker or lighter depending on what you'd like. Now, I did this on a separate layer. And again, I'm just increasing the saturation, playing with hue. I don't really like that. I'm just increasing the brightness. You can play with any brush that you want. But basically use the eyedropper tool to sample I basically begin at the top and I sample the dark end of the cloud. Then I go to a slightly mid tone of the cloud. Then I go to the almost brightest part of the cloud. I've sampled four colors of the gray sky, then of course, the sun. This has different different colors of peach and yellow and bright yellow and orange. I'm sampling all those colors to help me and guide me in terms of what the palette is going to look like. Now, because I'm drawing the scenery right in front of me, it helps to have this now, sampling the ocean has different levels, because it's a cloudy day, it's not as blue as it is otherwise during the day. So I'm playing with different types of dark tones. So, I'm sampling the boat. I'm working with these colors, but I can change it anytime I can play with a hue and saturation. But this is just the palette that I get started working on. So these are my colors that are going to more or less be what I'm going to be trying to draw on Procreate to make this photograph a beautiful illustration. So there is, that's my color palette for my illustration. I've sampled the photographs. Now I can just make the size a little smaller. For your benefit, break this down for you. These are the colors for the clouds. This is the sky sunset. This is the sea, and this is the beach. I'm going to choose watercolors. I'm going to be experimenting with different different brushes. So first, I'm going to begin with the beach. I'm not thinking so much. I'm just adding marks a brown Now I'm going a little brighter to give it some variety. I'm just experimenting with the brushes. I'm playing, basically. There's there's nothing specific that I'm doing. You can experiment with whatever brush you have. I'm playing with the watercolor set from the native procreate brushes. I'm going to the sea. I'm just blocking the colors in. I want to make the water a little more authentic to what it looks so I change the color. Of course, increase and decrease your brushes according to what you'd like. I'm going to the darker tone of the s, again, color matching. I'm not really I'm just putting the colors down. I'm not thinking so much. I'm not blending as well. Now I will blend and I will choose I'll use the theme. I'll choose this to blend. This kind of blurs things a bit. I personally like some texture. Again, I'm brightening the colors a little bit. Now, I know I selected the color, I sampled the colors, but sometimes instinctively, you feel like, Okay, wait, maybe this should be a little brighter. On an overcast day, that probably does happen. Now it's time to draw a little bit of the sky. I'm brightening it a little bit because I know that the photographs, even though I've increased the Human's saturation, they do seem a little dull. This match is a little better. Right now I'm just blocking the colors. But as I'm blocking the colors, the form is appearing. Like, now, you know, there's a beach and a sea and the sky. Now, I'm not really trying to draw clouds. I'm just going from left to right to mark the colors. It's not like I'm overthinking this. I'm really just instinctively going from left to right and adding colors and adding layers. Now it's time for the clouds. And I'm creating a circle motion to create what looks like clouds. So I'm playing with the dark colors and the light colors to give a little variation. As you can see, even in the photographs, there's a variation in the clouds of dark to light. I'm just doing a general sweeping, circling. I'm not thinking too much about what I'm doing and I'm really not trying to copy it. I'm just instinctively creating and letting my hands flow. And even though white is not really in the color palette, I just thought I'd add a little bit of gray white to add a little depth. So airbrushing kind of softens the edges, and it gives a nice look. So I think I've covered an overcast day at the beach really well. Now I can remove the color palette. And center this. The boat is actually white. Now I'm just painting a small boat. Of course, my boat, the direction of my boat is different from the photograph. But for me, I'm just enjoying the process of having a boat in the sea, in my view. I'm also not drawing it exact. And that's the important part. This has to be instinctive and it shouldn't be about following rules. It just should be about enjoying oneself. And that's exactly what I'm doing. I did the boat on a wrong layer. Now I'm doing a boat on a separate layer. So if I want to move the boat around, I can and I'm not it's not locked into the layer. Again, with the eyedropper, I'm marking a color. I'm just adding some shading I'm just creating a shape using a soft brush. I took a little shape to show the idea of a boat. I'm going into pens. I wanted a thin line. And I try my best not to stick to blacks and use gray for darker tones. But sometimes you just have to use a black for variety. Just smudging it, it wood. And I don't want there to be such harsh lines, so I'm smoothening it with the airbrush to kind of give it a painterly feel. And yeah, that's my sunset scene based on my photograph. I was using the procreate native watercolor brushes. I'm just creating some fine line touches. I'm just working on the sky. Adding a little detailing. Clouds are fun because the bottom of the cloud is always darker and the top is lighter and brighter because obviously it has more access to the sun and you just add finer details if you'd like. And that's about it. I'm just resizing the art to fit into the illustration. And there it is. My illustration is done. That's the scene, and this is my illustration. It's actually a very simple process. Oh. 4. Thank You: Thank you for joining me in this class. It was really wonderful creating artwork.
