you want to do this on a new layer so you can delete the sketch one later. Once you’re done you might have something like this:įor beginners - lineart is just a sexy word that means a clean drawing with hard lines so you can colour it easier and it looks prettier. When sketching you just wanna get a rough idea of where you’re gonna do your eventual lines - don’t worry about it being smooth or anything just get down where everything goes you can adjust size and opacity using the sliders to the side of the screen. i do this with a mid grey (like 50% white 50% black) i recommend the “Narinder pencil” which you can find by clicking the little brush at the top, selecting sketching and then selecting that bad boy.

When it comes to sketching i usually do little flicky lines. then once thats done add a new layer by clicking the + and work over thatįor more experienced artists experimenting with style just stick that bad bitch reference in the corner, then open a new layer and sketch in your own style. for beginer artists what i suggest doing is just pasting the image onto your canvas, opening layers and adjust the opacity to around 20% by clicking on the little N on your layer with the photo. for this work i did the last option (see below)Īfter grabbing my reference i decide on the style i wanna use. however when i make art nowdays i usually just snap a selfie and use that.

you can collect references by finding stock images, using other artists work (i use these mostly for colour refs cause i SUCK at finding good colours). The first thing you’re gonna wanna do is collect any references you need for thing youre tryna make. So without further ado - here is how to make a KICKASS piece of art on procreate

And that’s okay! A stupid amount of what constitutes as “good” or “complex” art is to do with layers, patience and experience.Īnd because literally every tutorial on here is for Paint Tool Sai i thought it might be useful for those of us using Procreate! because i don’t have sai and i have a relatively shit laptop by comparison to my Ipad. Okay so i joined the digital art scene about a year or so ago and it has been a total whirl! there’s so much stuff that’s so confusing and hard to understand at first.
