1. Introduction: Hi guys, I'm a
frellance illustrator and I have been
painting for 15 years. I have a bit of
experience in this field. I'm obsessed with
procreate watercolor, metricathines, and stamp. In my classes, I try to
combine all those topics together in order to make
my classes fun and useful. Welcome back to my class. Let's dive in the
postage stamp and paint all together six
beautiful illustrations devoted to this topic. And in the end of my class, you will learn more
about procreate, especially how to
decide what to draw, where to find inspiration, and how to use layers,
clipping masks, how to create watercolor
texture paper, and how to add volume and
color variations to your art. And most importantly, you
will learn how to create watercolor postage stemps in procreate using digital
brushes in fun and easy way. I will show you my whole process from the start till finish. First of all, I will
show you where to find freebies and how to import
them into the procreate. Then we will talk
about where to find inspiration and creative ideas. Then we will create
texture paper. Our next step will be
creating sketches. And finally, we will start adding colors, shades,
and highlights. Then we will explore
different shapes of postage stems and how to feed the
illustrations into the stem. Our closest step will be
creating and using mockups for our art mockup will help you to display your illustration
in a most beautiful way. As a bonus, I will share
with you my texture paper, custom brush, set color palette, my own pictures that I created. The class is great for intermediate level and
for experienced artists. For everyone who
is interested in digital verticlor art and
postage stamp illustrations, the class requires you to have basic knowledge
about procreate. For beginners, it can be a
little bit overwhelming. And one more thing that
I want to mention, your opinion and your feedback
is very important to me. So feel free to tell me
what you think about the class in discussion
or review section. I will be glad to reply to you, my dear art fellows, I can't wait to
start this class. And definitely I can't wait to see what you applaud
to project section. Let's not wait. Grab your ipad, Apple Pencil, and let's start
painting process together.
2. About Final Project: Now it's time to talk about class projects in my
class, it will be. Next, think about the topic
you would like to cover. And then paint one or series of postage stemps using the dips and brushes that
I gave you today. I'll use procreate
for this class with ipad and Apple pencil If you have it or some
other drawing pads or even regular
paper and paints. Please join our
class and good luck. In today's class, I'll
paint two series of postage stems devoted
to different topics, magical portions and night sky. You can follow my
instructions and create the same illustrations as idle
or just the one you like. You don't need to follow
all my steps and you don't need to create all the
illustrations that I created. Try, experiment, and
enjoy paint and process.
3. Where to Find Freebies: In this class we will talk about resources and where
to find them. It's pretty simple,
just follow the steps, go to projects and
resources section, download previews,
go to files app, and then import all the
previews into the procreate. Let's talk about all
of it in details. Well, I think we're
ready to get started. And first of all,
I want to tell you where to find all the previews. So when you open my class, please do it in browser. It can be Rome or Safari. Because sometimes if you open my class through
the skillshare app, my freebies might
not be visible. Make sure you use
browser and then go to Projects and Resources Section in the right corner under
the headline Resources. You can find all my freebies. Please download them. Then you need to open
files app on your ipad. In downloads folder, you
can find all my freebies. What you will get in
my today's class. First of all, this is
the new brush set. The brush set will be under the name postage stamp
brush set format. Then we also have swatches
color palette which is called postage
stamp Do swatches. Next we have gold
glitter Pac format file that we're going to use
for our Night Sky series. One more thing that you
will have is a color paper. Also, I will share with you the picture that we drew
together during today's class. Feel free to use it for
your own art projects. Okay, the next question is how to import them
into the procreate. So in this case my suggestion is to split the screen
into two parts. From the left side
we have files app, and from right side we
have procreate app. The next thing that we need
to do is to drag and drop all our files from files
into the procreate. And guys, my suggestion about the gold clitter and
watercolor paper, it's better to create canvas first and then drag
and drop the files. Because if you do
it without canvas, we will just drag and drop
it as a separate files. Let's do it. You
need to tap plus and then we have screen
size. Let's tap that one. Now we can drag and
drop all our files. Let's do it one by one and make sure that when you
drag and drop files, you need to do it
on a new layer. It's about gold glitter and
watercolor paper files. Let's track and drop. You see now automatically it's on our canvas, on the layers. Now what we need
to do is to tap, create new layer and drag
and drop our gold glitter. Let's make those layers
invisible for a while. Saying we need to do
this postage stem brushset and postage
stem swatches, we just need to drag and drop our swatches and
where to find them. So here I have postage them. I already selected
this color palette. How to do that? You see we have three dots from the right side. I will do it here because it's
already set as a default. So when we have three dots here, we have an option set as a
default and we need to tap it. Then we have this lovely
bird selected here. Okay, and about brush set, When you import the brush
set into the procreate, it will be on the top
of your brush gallery. And guys, let me
briefly show you what kind of brushes
we have today. Here we have so
many stem brushes. I used sticks brush. I'm going to use it
for today's class. This is native procreate brush
that I really like a lot. I created for you
special pencils, HB pencil, this 10 B pencil. But of course, feel free
to use box B pencil, the one that we have in
native procreate brush set. Also, I have ink brush, this is unpredictable in pretty cool because sometimes
it gives you very solid and sharp
lines and sometimes replicates the feeling that you don't have enough water
and ink on your brush. But H watercolor,
this is a brush that we're going to use for our,
today's watercolor classes. This brush is amazing. If you want to create
watercolor illustrations, of course it's better to use this brush with texture paper. But as you see even
without texture paper, it creates pretty lovely
watercolor feeling. Both soft reading that
we're going to use for additional steps in our
watercolor illustration. Soft blender that you
can use as a planter, you just need to tap. It means that we
select as a brush, as a painting brush. Then we can go to our
blending brush on tap. As you see, the soft blender is selected automatically.
Boo frame. Now we have so many stem
brushes that will help you to create lovely postage
stamp illustrations. This is also additional
steps that we're going to use for our classes. Some of the elements I will
not use for my illustrations, but you might use in your art. I decided one of the series will be about portions
because I like magic, and I decided to make series of postage stamps with portions. I also have a couple
of handwritings that you might add to your postage
stem if you would like to, I decided to create different shapes for
the postage stem. This is like typically
the most common one. This is a little
bit more unique. If you like some landscape
orientation paintings, you might use it. We have the last one as I
think we're ready to move to the next class where I will show you where to
get inspiration.
4. Where to Get Inspiration: We finally move to the
base of our class. Where to find inspiration
and how to choose topic. What about the
reference pictures and how to create unique art? Also, how to unite all
the illustrations under one topic if we create
series of illustrations. Let's talk about it now. Well, about inspiration, we
have a few sources that we can use in for getting some
ideas, maybe for inspiration. And one of the sources
is called Pinterest. I think all of us know about
this lovely, just amazing, source of wonderful
pictures that can help you to find
some inspiration. But of course, you
can't copy them. But like I said, you might get some
ideas of what to draw. I tend not to use it a lot because I want to come up
with my own ideas that I can develop thanks to other
sources where you can get pictures for your personal
and commercial purposes that we're going to talk
about a little bit later. But I admire to look at
art of other artists, it gives me some
inspiration and also guys, why I suggested to
think about the topic. Because if you want to
create a few postage stems, it's better to arrange them
under some specific topics. So every postage stem that you create will be connected
with previous one and with the next postage
stem that you would like to create about the idea
for my today's class, I was thinking a lot what
to do, and like I said, during every my class,
I like magical stuff, cute things and water color. I think maybe that would
be a great idea to combine all the topics that
I like in one thing. What I suggest when you
decide what to draw, if you want to draw one
postage step, it's fine. You can draw whatever you like. But if you decide to paint
a few postage stamp, if you want to
develop your topic and tell people some story, choose one thing, one topic. And try to show
one of the feature of this topic in every
postage stem that you create. For example, if I
like magical things, I decided to paint potions. How to connect them? I just paint different
shapes of potion, different shapes of bottle. And I will use the background as an explanation of
potion that I have. And if I want to
paint potions here, maybe I can type in
pinterest like potions. And as you see here,
I have a variety of different types of potions, different types of bottles. You might get some ideas,
what you would like to draw. Okay, Create. Now
let's talk about the two sources that
I use for my art. This is Pexels.com and Unsplash.com So how
to use the sources. And they're very convenient
because here you can use the pictures for personal
and commercial purposes. I was thinking about
some portion shapes. Here I came up with the
idea, we can just write, perform bottle and
here we can search for the shape of bottles
that we might like and we might
use for our art. I was thinking to
create two series of postage stems
because one was not enough for me and
I like to paint Sky when I use watercolors. So I was thinking maybe I want to draw sky
in some cute way. And I decided to paint a star that has such
specific shape. So I think this
is pretty lovely, but I will draw it in
more cartoon style. I like the colors in
this illustration. I decided to use this art
to get some inspiration, and that will help you
to add some colors. If we decide to paint
some illustration, we can take some of
the elements that are related to our topic and
of course add something new. I decided to paint
to take moon and paint lovely cat that is grab and moon like
sitting on the moon. Also it will be related to
our night sky topic type cat. And I was thinking about
this lovely chabby cat. So, and guys, this
is the way how I use such sources for getting
some inspiration and ideas. And that can help me to
ease my painting process because I know
sometimes it's not easy to come up
with your own idea. Or maybe you need
some pictures for reference how the
elephant looks like. And of course, you
need some picture to look at the proportions, the position of some body parts. And it's totally normal. So you don't need to
blame yourself if you can't paint picture
right from your head. For many objects, I need to
look at some references. Think about the idea,
the topic for your art. My suggestion? Yeah,
this is our next step. So now take some paper and think about the
topics that you might be interested in painting
and that you want to illustrate and share
those with people. Maybe it will be botanicals, maybe it will be some gems
or also some magical themes. Maybe you can draw some characters from
the movie you like, maybe from cartoon you
like. So think about that. Write a topic that you
would like to illustrate. Maybe it can be just one topic. And let's jump in
our next class.
5. How to Create Textured Paper: We are very close to
the painting process, but it's hard to create watercolor illustration without
watercolor texture paper. And in procreate this process closely connected to the
layers and blending modes, please follow my
steps carefully. And if something is not clear, I'm always ready to help
you in discussion section. As you know, we already imported our watercolor paper, this one. And I think we need
to move it a little bit to the edges because you see the size of paper and the size of canvas are a
little bit different. So make sure you have
uniform turned on. Move it a little
bit to the sides. Great. Now guys, for people who already seen
some of my classes, I want to tell you
that today's paper, the process of creating paper
will be slightly different. Because like I said, we are
creating postage stems. So I don't need to have like this fully visible
watercolor paper, but I want to keep the texture. In this case, I want to move paper layer on a top
of all layers panel. Then I will duplicate
it three times. Guys, please make sure
you follow my steps. It can be a little
bit tricky and maybe in some part it
can be slightly puzzled. I will try to slow down and to explain every
steps that I'm doing. We duplicated the
layers three times. It means that I will
change blind the layer modes to different modes. Also, additionally, I will
duplicate some of the layers. Now let's turn off
the first layer. Now let's go to second one
and move to color burn, Blending layer mode,
color burn that one. Now let's go to the
third layer here. We will move to linear burn. Next step that we need to do, let's duplicate
color burn one time. Now we have two layers,
color burn layers. Here we need to
merge them together. Color burn and color
burn together. Now let's go to linear
burn and do the same. Let's duplicate layers
and merge together. Now let's lower the Pacity of linear burn till 60 or 70% guys. Why did we need to
duplicate the layers? Because by duplicating layers
and merging them together, we exaggerated the texture of watercolor
paper. Okay, great. So we duplicated color burn, and we merge together to layer. We duplicated linear burn, and we merged together, and then we lowered the apacity. Now guys, I will show you
where the magic starts. We will come back
to the first layer, and then here we need to change the plant and layer
mode to divide here the trick is that we
don't see the paper texture, but when we paint,
we're going to have this texture underneath
of our brush strokes. Now we have three paper layers. Let's combine them
together in a group. I selected one layer
and then by swiping, right, I selected
additional two more layers. Now I will press group, let's rename and write paper then we can just
lock it by swiping. Right, we have the options
and let's just press lock. Now I will go to the layer, empty layer that is
underneath our paper layer. Crop blue, hard edge,
watercolor brush. When we paint, we have this lovely paper texture.
But what is cool? We have this texture just under the brush strokes that we
created, that we paint. But we don't see any paper
texture around that. That's great,
because our postage stems will be pretty realistic. Let me show it to you
in our next classes.
6. How to Create Sketch: Potions: Now time for sketches. I decided to break this
class into two parts, one class for each topic. Let's start with portions, and then we will move
to the night sky. So I feel free to follow my steps or use
your own sketches, whatever that will help
you to feel happy guys. Before we jump into
sketching process, let's decide what type, what shape of the postage stems we're going to
use in our today's art. Like I said, we have
three different options. This one depending on topic, depending on number of postage stems that
you want to create. You might choose different
types of postage stems. You can try all of them
like it's up to you. I decided to use this type
of postage stamp and I think it would be great to arrange our
illustrations on canvas, right, with such kind
of postage stamp. I like the way how postage steps look like when
they are placed together. You can see it here, we have the tiny holes when you create
series of illustrations, like it will be
very beautiful to place the one to another weight, let's just try to do it. First of all, what
I want to tell you, you can change the
orientation a little bit. In this case, you need to go to free form and you can use it. Move it a little bit to size. That's right, what we have
in this postage step, if you want, you can
remove the borders here. By the way, I renamed all
the layers that I have. Let's just write frame. Now think about the
shape of postage stamp. You want to use the number
of postage steps you want to create and try to arrange them
in the most beautiful way. Like I said, I want
to create two series of illustrations, postage
stamp illustrations. So I will decide, I will
grab two different topics. In this case, I want to keep the same size
of postage stems, but on the other hand, I still want to separate
them a little bit. Like I said, I'm going to use the square shaped
postage steps and I'll just arrange them on a canvas in the
most beautiful way. I will use uniform as a transform tool here. I think I can merge
them together. This is the first
frame that we created. Feel free to use this
one if you want to create one or two postage stems. But I decided to create two series of three postage
stems in each topic. Guys, because we have
two different topics, I decided to change the style of the illustrations
also a little bit. In the series of portions, I will create sketch with outline when I have
color in parts, I will use outline as
inseparable part of our art. I'm going to use inking brush, but for the second series where you're going
to paint Night Sky, I will use just pencil and
I will use water color. In the end of my illustration, I can turn off the
sketch or I can just make the pencil layer
like less visible. In the end, you will decide which style you would like more. Let's jump into sketching
process of portions. Okay, I went to sketch
portions layer. Like I said, I created
a few stems brushes that will help you to
use painting process. I already have the
potion bottles already as brushes and I'm going
to use them first. I will use potion step on here. I will use uniform tool. I want to place it
somewhere here. Then if I think that I want to change the shape of the
bottle a little bit, I can go to adjustments
and go to Liquefy tool. Then I make sure that push
is selected, Size is 30, 40% And I want to change the bottom of the bottle a little bit,
make it more round. Wonderful, ablate
catch portions layer. One more time. Now I will go to another stem brush
here, let me think. I will use this glass bottle to the size of
postage stamp and I merge together another
two bottles, layers here. Now I will go to
blue portion stem three and adjust the size
of the bottle again, I will merge together. Next step I will duplicate
sketch portion guys. I think next step is very
important because like I said, I want our background to
explain the nature of portions. I will try to grab the moon
phases and I will go and grab this yellow color transform
tool to adjust the size. Maybe a little bit reform, merge together, go to
the new sketching layer, come back to black color guys, it's very important to
remove the overlappings. Another option is next, you don't need to create. Every time you layer, you still can draw
on the same layer where you already have
some other elements. But in this case you will
need to use selection tool, select the area that
we need to use. Now grab transform tool. Just move it to the area
where you want to place it. Mm hm. And I think this part
is a little bit empty, so I'm going to grab some part of the botanical selected and then
press Copy and Paste. Now it looks a little bit less
empty then merge together. Now let's merge
together all sketching layers and we're going to add additional
elements to our art, but we're going to do it in the end of our painting process. Now let's jump into sketch of the second
topic which is Night Sky.
7. How to Create Sketch: Night Sky: About the night sky. Like I said, you might go
and grab some inspiration in unsplashed.com or Paxil.com
or you might go to Pinterest. I was thinking it would be
just amazing to combine some lovely realistic
quart color illustrations and some cute things. I decided to paint
a very cute cat that is sitting on lovely star. I was thinking about moon, but I decided to devote the whole postage stamp
to the moon illustration, which will be the last one. The second one, just some
different kinds of stars guys. Exactly. In our night
sky illustrations, we're going to use this gold
glitter effect and I will show you how to apply
it to our art pencil. B pencil will be a
little bit stronger. Like I said, it shouldn't be
precise because we're going to turn off the sketching
layer a little bit later. So now we can look at our
lovely cat and try to replicate this chubby
feeling, chubby cat. You can go and grab HB pencil. She will be a
little bit lighter. But I like exactly this
type of illustration for our art because
it's not too sharp. Also, I created some
constellations at the background where to find references
for constellation. Simply just go to the Internet. Okay, here I just went to
Google and I just type constellations and you might see the way how they look like. Here we have the constellations
that has Adia signs. Decide which
constellations you might like. Just create one. Either need to be
too precise or just take part of it and
add it to your art. Now let's keep adding stars. Here we have some magic trick, what you can do, just
create one layer above. Now let's just create star. If you want to save time, my suggestion just duplicated and you can place
it somewhere here. Then merge together. There is the rest of sketches. Create one moller Pa. I want to create this
lovely sweat star. I'm going to put it
here. Duplicate again. Now let's just lower the
size and place it maybe here in some areas where I think it's a
little bit too empty. Small, tiny, tiny star. Alexis merge together. The last one I decided
to paint Moon. I decided to paint
some kind of like sun beams that is
coming from the moon. So this illustration
will be fully from the cold glitter and it will be very sparkling if we've
done without sketches. Now let's jump into next part, where we going to
start adding colors.
8. How to Add Colors to the Potion Stamp: Now it's time to jump
in the painting boxes. Use the brushes that I
provided amon the freebies or native procreate tools or
maybe your own brushes. Don't forget to paint on a layer set under
the texture paper. We'll start with painting
portions and then slowly move to night
sky postage stamps. Let's not wait and good luck. Okay, well it's time to create our first postage stamp
which is moon portion. And I will show you
one metric trick. How to create
background color for all our restrictions without
making them like six times. In this case, I created new layer and I will
write background. Next, I will grab blue hard
edge watercolor brush. You can grab any
color you want and make sure that your paper grew
layer is on my suggestion. We can make frame layer a
little bit less visible, like 40% Again, make sure
you are on background layer. So what we need to do is to
deduplicate background layer six times, even seven. I want to keep one
color just in case. If we need to change it one background layer I will make invisible key. Now what we need to do is just go to the first layer and
let's change the color. How to do that? Let's go to adjustments, saturation
and brightness. And here we can go to and think about the colors
that you might like to have. You can increase the saturation
and lower the brightness. Now let's go to the
next layer then. Now let's go to our sky layers. Let's go to the next one. We can go to, thanks to Urs, we can play with intensity
too, darker, more saturated. Let's go to Urs Bad. Okay, great. Now let's come back to our moon potion picture. Now my aim is to remove
the overlappings, the color that is underneath. We need to delete. We need to just erase guys. Here I have tiny suggestion. I want to create some highlight by erasing some area which
is next to our object. You see a little bit, this brush creates just
amazingly beautiful texture, saying we're going to
do with moon faces too. Now let's go to
paint here later and we add some color to
our lovely bottle. I think the portion
will be pretty dark. Now, let's go to the
glass blue color. Let's go to the new layer here. I want to show the
transparency of the glass. And if you like
it, you can lower the opacity a little bit like till 86% To show the
transparency in, we need to add shades. I created a new layer. I rename it as shade layer. And I switch the blending
layer mode to multiply. Let's go to the dark brown
color, blue wish color. Let's place shades
layer underneath. Now let's grab
this bluish color, and I want to show
shades from the glass. What I was thinking
is that I want to write the name of
portion on a bottle. In this case, I think I want to change my sketch
a little bit. I will go and grab Boo in brush and I will grab a black color. I think I will write
it somewhere here. Let's remove some colors and I think the label
should be pretty bright. Also, make sure that your
sketch is on the top of all painted layer here like that and I want
to add some shades. As a blender is, remember I
use blue soft blender brush. I think what was lacking is that I want to add some stars, blue ink brush
paint here, layer. Let's add title,
almost black color. Now let's go and press
Add and Add Text. Now you can go to the
phone that you have and choose the phone
that you like most, and that might be
the most suitable. Now we have tiny details that
we want to add to our art, and it's some background that will show that it's
actually postage stamp. Let's go to bu frame three. Maybe I will write here, create one and find postage
stamp made with love. I like that. And now
let's remove over lapins. Grab raiser first. Postage stem is ready.
9. How to Add Colors to the Evergreen Potion Stamp: Okay. So, I merged together
all the layers and I'm renaming All the Layers
Under the moon portion now. Perfect. We'll go to
paint here layer. And let's jump into
our second portion, guys, because the plan that
we use is eucalyptous. As you know, Eucalyptus
always looks so beautiful. And I will call this
portion evergreen portion. Let's go to background
and erase over lapins. Now let's do the
same what we did in our previous postage stamp. Let's just remove a little bit of the color from the edges. Now let's start adding colors. Let's go to paint here layer. Remember, be hard edge, water color key. Duplicate paint here layer. And we need to paint glass around 88% lost. Now let's go to Shayla. It in between, multiply shade layer here, the shadow is in areas where two objects are
next to each other. We have the shade from the label and we have the
shades next to the leaves. Okay, now let's go and grab
slightly darker shade. If the shades, if the
lines are too obvious, you always can use blending
to and brown color here. And the last one done
this coloring part. Now let's create one
layer in between. Go to black color. I want to grab
this travel boost, temp nine, maybe increase
the size a little bit here. I want to make this flower
slightly bigger inside because as you see the rest of the objects is blocking
it from our side. We barely can see it
like that details. I also will move a
little bit to this part. Next thing, let's just
remove over lapins like that. Now if you want to make the color
a little bit brighter, you can duplicate the layer. Or you can go to curves and
make it slightly brighter. We're done with this part to, now let's move to the so stem.
10. How to Add Colors to the Time Potion Stamp: And our last portion, this is time portion here. What I need to do is I will
go to paint here layer, I will grab blue hard
edge watercolor brush. I will go to profile
color and let's paint those blueberries
the background. We're going to finish inner
end of our art and like I said background We'll explain
the name of a portion. Wait a little bit and don't re later I will remove
the background over lapins, brown color. Now let's go to background and
remove over lapins and say what we did before, yellowish color, color of pluperyow gold paint here. Grab this bluish, light
blue color for the glass. Like I said, we can
over the pasty, slightly create one more layer in between which is shade layer. Same brush and let's add tiny shades to blueberries. Now blend. I think
it's blending. It might look a little
bit more natural and now Liz merge together. And like I said, let's
create one more layer that will help us to add
some background elements. Be travel stem 12, our third stem is finished. Now let's move to night sky.
11. How to Add Colors to the Cute Cat Stamp: We move to the second part
of our postage stamps, and that one will
be way more easier. Now let's merge together
all the layers lovely. So we have time potion, evergreen potion, moon portion. Let's play some somewhere here under the sketch
portions. Now group them. My suggestion, let's place
a sketch above everything. Move to multiply and
lower the capacity a little bit till 80% Then
let's duplicate paint here, layer a few times and place
it underneath shades layer. We are on paint here layer, we grab cold color. Let's grab hard edge
watercolor brush and let's add color to our star. Don't worry. Later like we did, we will remove overlapping grab light pin color for years and very pin
color for chicks. Now when a crabs
lovely page color, something between
page and yellow. Now I will show a magic trick, how to remove overlappins. In this case, we will just duplicate this layer
and it's so bright. Let's lower the app asit till 50% and merge together
with the layer. Duplicate it again. Go to lower layer,
go to adjustments. Press Hue Saturation
and Brightness. And move the brightness till maximum 100% Now you see we
don't have any overlaps. Okay, so we remove over
lapins from the cat. Now I think we can add some water color effect
to the background. How to do that? Let's create
one ler Dereese lovely. Now let's move blendiner
mode to multiply. Next, let's go to
be soft gradient. I would grab this
lovely blue color. Now my suggestion, we have all three background
colors together. My suggestion to
merge them together, because I want to use
this background effect in clipping mask mode. In this case, what is it? It means when I decide to use my blue
soft gradient brush, I will not go beyond the lines, beyond the background frame, which is very convenient. Now I want to create some lovely water
color feeling guys, because our background
layer is semi transparent. That means that the
effect that we put on a top in clipping mask
mode is not that bright. But it's not a big
problem because we can change it by using curves. I will show you how to
do that now let's go to slightly purple shade and
add some purple background. Now let's go to the last one. And here I still want
add some purple shades, maybe a little bit bluish. Show that magic trick. We are on our background
effect layer. Now let's go to curse here. We can make it a
little bit darker and we can play with
colors, you see. We can play with intensity
and things to curse. The colors look very
realistic, very natural, authentic, and in
watercolor style. Now let me show you how to create this gold glitter effect. Let's move our gold glitter
effect a little bit to the edges like that. I want to make the color
a little bit brighter. In this case, I
will go to curse. It's very, very bright. Now what we need to
do is we're going to create paint here,
layer new one. Above that, we're going to
place our cold glitter layer. Now what we need
to do is to go to cold glitter layer and
press clip and mask. Now this gold glitter layer is clipped to the new empty layer and the magic trick
will be next. Let me show you, I'll
grab Bob pencil. You can choose any color you
want. It doesn't matter. What matters is brush is
that you're staying on empty that is clipped to
the cold glitter layer. Now when you paint
automatically, you will receive this
gold glitter effect. That's what I'm going
to do. I'm going to create some gold glitter
effect to our constellations.
12. How to Add Colors to the Star and Moon Stamps: You can use pencil or you
can use bow in brush. Sticks Brush is also fine, thanks to this magical trick, you can create lovely
watercolor illustration with gold glitter altogether. Let's go to sticks brush. We are still standing
on paint here layer that is pinned to
the cold layer. Now let's create some
smaller, let's dark tails. Now what I want to
do is I want to add some shades and I think
I want to add shades. Make dark part. I go to background layer. I will go selection
to grab free hand. I want to select this part. Yeah. And made it
slightly darker. I think I'm going to do
the same with this parto. Yeah. Wonderful.
So now I want to add some shades
to my lovely cat. Let's go to paint here, layer. And I want to add some glitter to the to just a little bit. Maybe they can use blending tool and blends glitter lines. And you see it creates
pretty realistic feeling. Let's go the shape layer, go hard edge, water color brush. And I want to show she tiny, tiny suggestion. We've done that in shades. Now I think we can add
some glowing highlights. Let's go to paint here
to our lovely stars. Let's go to hard edges. Brush, increase size. Let's create some Go painting. Now we can play with
plan, the layer modes. Think which one you
might like more. I like, wow, Pin light is okay. I will go with Overlay
Opacity a little bit. If you want, you can
go grab blending tool, increase the size a little bit, and blend some parts that will help you to create pretty
realistic water color feeling. The last thing that
I want to it is postage stamp words that will define that. This
is postage stamp. I'll choose postage stamp
made with love it here. Make sure that uniform is turned on and make it as
small as possible, like till half of
the postage stamp. Then I'll create one layer. Also, move to multiply. I will grab the second part, 100 tons, slightly smaller
because it's not relevant. Then merge together, duplicate, and move it to every
postage stem that we have. That will help me to unite
postage stems as well. Not just one theme, but also with one design. Also another thing that you can do, you can change the color. For example, here we
have black color. We can press select, Go grab white color and right fill layer
and move to normal. Same I will do with
another postage stem. Go to normal. Press
select again. Press fill layer with
white color. Yeah, lovely. I will keep this postage stamp with a black ink and here
I will have white in. I think it looks just perfect. Well, that's it for painting process of our
lovely postage stamp, but this is not the end.
13. Different Shapes of Postage stamps: In this small class, I will show you what are the shapes of postage
stems and how to fit your own administration into different sizes
of postage stems. Now I will show you how you can use the
illustrations that we created before for other
types of postage stems. Here I took two potion that I created, This
type of postage stem. This part of stem you
actually need to tear apart. Here I decided to place my moon potion with the
main part of postage stem. And this part we can
actually separate. Remember I told
you to keep one of the background
layers separately. Let's go and grab
free form tool here. We can just play with the background, remove
the transparency. The way how you can use our illustration in another
postage stem shapes. You can add more
stems if you like. Like whatever you like, guys, I wish you luck and I will be happy to see all your
lovely creations.
14. How to Create and Use Mockup: It's almost the end of a class. Now, I will show you how to
create your own mockup and how to use it for showcasing your own lovely postage stems. And it will not look
digital at all, guys. You can use the picture
that I took or you can take picture by yourself
and create your own mockup. Now let's talk about Mok Ups, how to make them, and how to
use. You have two options. First one, I already
created Mok up separately and you can
download it through the link. I couldn't download it to the Skillshare app because the size is a
little bit too big. Another option, you can
create Mok up by yourself. For that, I also
added to the freebies this illustration as
a pec format file. What you need to
do is to download that and then import this
file into the procreate. Like I said, just drag and
drop it to the gallery. Then when you have this
file inappropriate, you need to go to layers
and make sure that you have this layer selected
with your Pec illustration. The next thing that
you need to do is go to selection tool
and grab free hand. The next thing that
we need to do is to select this postage stamp. Let's do it then. When you selected
our postage stamp, you need to press,
copy and paste. Now we have our mockup
separately on a new layer. Here we have our lovely postage
stamp on the new layer. Next thing that you need to
do is you need to create, let me show you to separately, you need to create
a new layer that is above our paper layer
postage stamp layer. This one. Then we
need to clip it. Just go tap clipping mask. Next we need to change blending layer mode
to linear burn. Another step is we just need to import our picture
here on this layer, our postage stamp that we just created thanks to clipping mask. Our layer can't go beyond
our postage stamp frame. We just, maybe you can zoom out and use it
in any way you like. This is the end for our
today's class and I hope you enjoyed our
painted process a lot. Now you know more
about procreate. How to decide what to draw, where to find illustrations, where to find inspiration, how to use layers,
clipping mass, how to create watercolor
texture paper, and how to add volume and
color variations to your art. And most importantly, you learn how to create watercolor
postage stems in procreate using digital
watercolor brushes in a fun and simple way. I will be very happy to
see what you to project section and I will be very
happy to give my own feedback. I would really appreciate your
opinion about this class. You always can leave
your opinion in review section and let's see
each other in your class. Next time we will paint vertical and pencil illustration about coffee in procreate you.
