Free Goodies For You! Get Your Free Goodies Here!

Hi guys, I’m Kris. Welcome to this week’s tutorial. Let’s draw together.

 

In this week’s tutorial, I’ll be drawing some Hibiscus and Plumeria. A little tropical bouquet in Procreate, so I’m sure you can create this too if you follow along, all the way to the end. So if you feel rushed, don’t worry about it, just hit pause and rewind to catch up or save this video to your library so you can get some practice in. Today we’ll be using all free brushes found in Procreate and don’t forget, once you’ve finish this entire video, to share it on Instagram, tag me in the image, as well as the description, so I can find your artwork and feature you here in the next Draw It Together video. So for this video, as always I’ve made you a color pallet just in case you wanna use the same colors as me, you don’t have to, certainly, but if you do, that’s there for you in the description below. And also below you’ll find a link to the goodie bag, were you can grab some free goodies and support me by visiting my shop there and see what’s going on.

 

So I’ve made my canvas at 4000 x 4000 pixels, sRGB and 300 DPI. So let’s jump in, I’m just gonna grab some black and start sketching, so I’m just gonna go to my sketching in my brushes library here and just grab my 6B, I have it at about 60%, hopefully you can see that and we’re just gonna get started by doing some basic shapes. So first with our flowers, I’m just gonna sort of map them out where I want them to go, I’m gonna have one sort of on an angle here, one over here. Sort of cozying up together. I don’t know, something like all these little guys tucked in here. Maybe some guys over there. Maybe my leaves come out here and here, there maybe a little… I don’t know how I want it to go. Little scoop there. Already, I’m making a nice old mess and that’s great.

 

 

 

But I’m gonna just figure out where my center points are, so I wanna just set it back a little bit, not quite so on the center, and just sort of figure out where everything is gonna be. So the little stamen part is gonna be there. I’m gonna bring my first leaf like this, and this guy will be like, in here, this guy will be saved there, I think that will overlap that way. I’m just gonna make sure that… Oops, sorry. Make sure you know where that’s overlapping there. And this guy will be like that and this one will be sort of in the back. Just make sure I’ve got that, like so. Okay. Next this guy, will be sort of… There’ll be a different… There’s kind of two sorts of looking Hibiscus that I’ve found that one’s a little bit more frillier than the other. One has a little bit of a different center. So let’s see what we can do with this. This guy, it’s gonna sort of scoop like that, I’ll have a leaf coming out, this is a little bit more frilly one. Hopefully you can follow along with this, I feel like this is really messy, but it will become clear in a bit. So maybe he’ll be like that, come over here, and he’ll be like sort of here, something like that. And let’s see, this guy is coming around here. One in the back. Okay, so that’s gonna connect like that. So you see that sort of a fold over and that’s underneath. If that makes any sense. And that’s gonna come up around there. Okay, again, sorry, this looks very messy.

Let’s just start making sense of this all. Okay, so here are these… Oh gosh, what are these called? Oh, Plumeria. That’s what it is, Plumeria. So they’re pretty simple, they’re kind of like, almost like little star shapes, I kinda think sometimes. So they have a center. But their center sort of wraps, it’s not really like a dot. Sort of maybe like a pinwheel, maybe that would be a better way to describe it. Alright, and then I’ll have some Plumeria leaves like this… Oops. This and that’ll come out like that. Okay, so there’s that. This guy is gonna be one of those pokey looking plants, so I’ll just have… I’m not gonna draw them all in right now, but we know what it’s going to be like, just gonna do sort of the general direction of the dots there. This is gonna come down and it’s gonna be one of these very tropical looking leaves. So I am going to do kind of like that.

 

And it’s kind of like they’ve been… They’ve got little holes in them. So once I kinda have a shape, I can just grow it in easily, make my lines here. And sometimes they have little holes in the middle, so you can add those. They’re fairly irregular and again, the little holes make all the difference, makes it look really cool. Okay, so you can kinda see how that would work, sort of. Alright and then this, this is more of a banana leaf, it’s gonna kinda come in like that a little bit… A little bit frilly. Okay, and I’m just gonna do some more type of Plumeria leaves, so just the smaller version, smaller variation and they always have five leaves, so make sure you get that in there. There may be one over here. I’m telling you to get five, but I’m not gonna do it. I’m gonna have to make sure I’ve got them in here. There we go.

 

Okay, that’s probably good for our very rough sketch here. My goodness. I hope, I’m just kind of showing you how I normally do it, that this is sort of how I map something out. It’s messy, it’s not pretty, but it gets the job done. So let’s go and knock this old pastie back. Just hit click on the end and bring it back to about, I don’t know, 20% or so, and just add a new layer by hitting that plus sign. So I’m gonna go and grab my colors here. I’m gonna start with this flower. It’s going to be orange, so I’m gonna grab that orange. And I’m just going to… Let’s go and grab my favorite pen, I’m gonna go to inking and dry ink. And I’m going to have that at higher than that. I’m gonna have it more at 8%. That’s better, okay. So I’m just gonna bring out this stamen here and it’s gonna have sort of these little bumpies, so make it quite bumpy, like that. And then it has little circlies at the top. Okay, and then we’re gonna do the leaves. You are gonna push the front pressures on your brush and just keep it a little bit loose, make the little folds and just be lighter, a little bit lighter pressure, a little bit heavier, and just to make it a little bit irregular. Maybe make some ripples, so you can have a bit of folds.

 

That’s gonna come in there. Okay, this guy’s gonna be in front. And this one will be in the back. Okay, so if I turn off the layer below, you can be a little bit easier. So you have our shape. We’ve got five petals. And now I’m gonna make them look a little bit more like petals. So you can do that by bringing these… Just taking a line here… Oops. Taking a line and just pushing a little bit in and gently bringing it towards the center, and then just sort of making it look like that these little creases. All making sure that it goes towards the center, so you have that direction right. And you can bring some out from the center as well, just push that back and push this part down. And we will do that with our line work as well as with our colors. I’m just gonna bring these in. So you can see it’ll start to look a little more petal-like. Maybe a little curve. Just make sure that that makes sense, that line, that they’re going in the same direction.

 

Okay, so you can see we’ve brought this mess, which you can’t really tell what it is, to that. So that makes more sense, and that will look a lot better when we color it in. Okay, so let’s get to the next flower. So I’m gonna do that on another layer. You don’t have to. It’s just how I like to work. It’s just my personal preference. I love layers. If you’ve watched this channel for a little bit, you’ll know that. It’s just so I can go back and make any color changes that I need to. So I’ve gone in and grabbed my dark purple, here. We’re gonna make this next hibiscus purple. It’s a little bit different, a little less structured than this, a little bit looser and frillier. So let’s see if we can manage that. So the center point on this one is a little bit different. It’s a little bit thicker and wider, so that’s just… And it doesn’t have these little doodads at the end there. So I’m just doing little sort of C shapes, sort of numbly bits to make this in here. Maybe a little bit heavier on one side, just to create that sort of shadow look. Maybe a little lighter, maybe some dots on the other side, just to fill it in.

 

Okay, so I’m just going to bring up this. It’s gonna be a little frilly bit here. It’s gonna come… Oops. Come in behind here. And this is gonna come up here, and little wigglies here, kinda give that a little depth there. And let’s see, kinda like how we did those fish tails last week. It’s a similar kind of design I’m doing with the edges. So I told you last week, they’re meant to look a little bit flower like, their tails. So that’s kind of what I meant by that. Alright, this is gonna be straight, and then this is gonna be wiggly. And it’s gonna come up and over here. And bringing in the underneath part, so you could see how it folds over, hopefully. And let’s just get this guy underneath while we’re here, as well.

 

Okay, so that’s good. And this, let’s see how I’m doing this, this leaf is coming around here, it’s gonna make it go on that little edge there. Put some difference here, and I’ll bring these edges here just to make it look like it’s the under side. Okay. Alright. So that guy has always leaves on and I’m gonna turn this off for you so we can go in and see it again, with all the lines. So just gonna bring this in. I’m just trying to decide which way I wanted to curve, if I want it to go more this way. Opps.

 

 

 

And that leaf will just kind of be in behind here as well, just to fill in that gap. I think that’ll look nice. Okay, so we have our two main flowers. Now let’s go and do those Plumeria here. So, we can sort of see them. Let’s add a new layer just by hitting the plus sign, and I’m going to just grab… Actually, you know what, I’m gonna use a brown here. We’re gonna add this ’cause they’re gonna be white, so I’m just gonna outline them with brown. So these ones go like this. You’re gonna have this little lip here. You’ll see what I mean in a second. That’ll go into there, and then just make it a lip like that. Okay, so the next one is just gonna go like that, and if we can see about that, a little lip there. Let’s just get this guy. That’s what sort of gives them their look. And that’s gonna tuck under there, okay? So let’s see, you can see that? And, oops, I missed a line. There, that’ll make more sense.

 

And next, we’re gonna have this one, it’s gonna be a little bit different because I wanna have one of these just make sort of a… Oh, I don’t know what shape this would be. Like that. Oops, just make a little shape like this here, hopefully you can see this. A little wiggle, a little bump, and around, and then we’re gonna bring this line in here. And it will have a little lip. This in here, it will too, so you can see that’s the one we’re going from an angle, so hopefully that works out for you there. I’m gonna give that a little lip there. Okay. So, hopefully, that makes sense. Alright, let’s just get these little guys in here, and then we can get to our leaves next.

 

 

 

Alright, so let’s take a look. Okay. Next, we will go on to our leaf layer, so I’m gonna hit that plus sign again and just grab the dark green and start doing this. So this guy is pretty straightforward, just a bunch of spikes, so just start with your main one that way, and then from there, just to make sure that you know that this line is here. Actually, we can just draw it in. I’m just gonna draw it on the one side because we might have some of these bumps, little overlapping a little bit and let’s just see. So I can kind of have them coming out from there.

 

 

 

Alright. And then let’s go to this guy, and let’s just do the outline first and then I’ll do the inside, I think. Let’s just outline.

 

 

 

Okay I’m gonna come in here and just give him a little veining here, so the veins are just gonna go sort of loose up here. I’m actually gonna make them so I can color them in. That’s a little thick to me. Why can’t I get this?

 

 

 

Okay, that should be fine. Let’s have a look. Okay, just made a line there. Alright, and last leaf. I’m just gonna bring in the vein here and then work off of that, so that’s just gonna be… Some of the lines here, it’s a little bit of a shaggy one, and it’s kind of like a brush, sort of. And give it some breaks, like here are some gaps, something like that, and then just giving that back side a little bit. So lets turn this off so you can see better, just some of the wispy lines here. Okay, so now we have our outline ready to go, so now I’m just gonna fill it in really quick I’ll probably just speed that up, and all I’m gonna do is go underneath each layer, so I’m gonna select the layer below my orange, I’m gonna create a new layer. I’m gonna grab the yellow, and then I’m gonna go to my studio pen, just ’cause it’s a solid, any solid fill brush will do, and I’m just gonna go in and fill it in.

 

I’m gonna go to the layer below my purple one and grab a new layer and that light purple, and the same thing. Actually, I’m gonna grab this, these two layers and bring them below that yellow one, ’cause that needs to tuck in behind there, so make sure you do that first, otherwise, you’re gonna be coloring on top. Okay next, I’m gonna draw up my background layer, so you can see this. I’m going to actually bring this below the purple layer as well, and just put a new layer and grab the white to do these Plumeria.

 

 

 

Okay, we go and then we’ll bring our leaves down to the very bottom and create a new layer and grab the lighter green, and then we can just go and fill this all in.

 

 

 

So we have all our fills in, so we’re ready to just paint it up a little bit more. So I’m gonna go over top, add a new layer and let’s just get these old stamens in here looking a little better. So I’m gonna just color them white right now, just fill those in, or still these with… I have my studio pen, you could use the ink brush too if you wanted. Create another layer. Okay, so now we can see those a little bit better, then let’s just get to making these look a little nicer so on top of the yellow layer, I’m going to create a new layer and do a clipping mask and grab this pink color to start. I’m gonna go into my brushes and grab the… Where I’m I gonna go? I’m gonna go to painting, if I can see it, painting and grab the gouache, gouache is gonna be at… I wanna say five. No, let’s say 15 and just lightly start to create some depth in the center and it’s gonna have some other colors. Let’s see what happens when we click on the end and turn this to multiply, so I kinda like that better, see how that comes through.

 

Okay, and then I’m gonna go and grab the orange, still with my gouache, I’m gonna bring that down maybe again to five, or back down to five, and just have some… Oops, and I’m gonna have the opacity actually at about 35%, and just make some little shadows in here just along those lines that we made.

 

 

 

And then I’m actually gonna use my blender brush. I don’t use it very often, but I am gonna go in, and… Actually let’s just go to painting and get the gouache. So it’s the same one and we’re gonna have that at about 5% and 100% opacity and… Actually, no, I’m gonna go down to 30%, 35 somewhere there, and just make it this little blend. So again blend this out just a little bit, so it looks a little bit more blended. Whatever look you wanna go for really. That’s just another way of painting. So that kinda works better. So I’m actually gonna do something a little different ’cause I really want this darker in the center, but I still wanna keep the tips a little bit lighter, so I’m actually gonna go and color my line layer. So, I’m gonna click on the line-layer, hit the plus sign clipping mask. And let’s go and grab this brown. Still with the gouache, we still have it, maybe pop it up to 10% or so, you can keep it at 35. Let’s just darken these. You see how that makes that pop a little bit just in the center, ’cause I just wanted to create more depth there. Okay, I like that way better. Let’s just give this a little color too. Just this part. Okay. That’s good.

 

And then I’m just gonna go to the white and I’m going to grab… Maybe we can stay on this brown, that’s okay. Let’s just bring this way down to about 3. Actually, no, I don’t like that brown. Scratch that, grab the orange. Let’s just give it a little shadow, again probably more in the center just to push it back. Okay, so that’s probably good. Let’s move on to our purple one. I’m going to just color in the white layer and let’s just stay on the orange and just pop some color in there, just a rub on the underside is fine, and you can just dot it in too. So you still have that highlight which is nice. Okay, then let’s go to the purple layer, click on that, click plus sign, tap on it and then clipping mask. Grab that dark purple, still with our gouache, let’s just paint in some lines.

 

 

 

Just trying to make it look less flat, of which of course you can keep it that way, why not, that is a look, but I’m just trying to make it look so that you can tell the difference between the petals, so bringing those out a little bit. Having a shadow behind will help. Okay, so we can get our blender brush, keeping it the same, you can just go in and soften some of those edges, making one side hard, one side soft, if you want. You can’t really wreck it at this point ’cause you can still go in and put some more paint on it and undo that and fix that, that’s the great thing about Procreate, we can always fix pretty much anything.

 

 

 

Alright, let’s go ahead and bring that opacity up to 100%, just so that I can get some more of the little darkness in here, and then I’m just gonna smooth it out a little bit, I’m actually gonna pop a little color in there, so let’s grab this pink. Just add a little bit in here, just in the very center. Yeah, that’s good. Alright, let’s see. Now, let’s do these guys here ’cause they need some orange in the center, so let’s go to our Plumeria layer and hit the plus sign and grab a clipping mask, get the yellow to start, I’m just gonna put in some yellow, we’re still on our gouache, we’re still at about 5%, and now we’re at 100% opacity. So just bring these in the center of the leaves here or the petals, rather. And then we’re gonna blend them out a bit, just a touch. Okay, and then grab that orange and put that closer to the center. Okay, and then grab your blender and just really make sure that, that just sticks in the center there. There we go. Now, what I would do is just grab my eraser and bring it way down to about 2%, and just make sure that these edges don’t have anything on them, ’cause they wouldn’t make sense, so to keep them nice and white. Okay, that defines them there. So the same thing to these guys. Grab that orange, grab the blender, just blend those centers, and then you can just do the edges a little bit, if need be.

 

Okay, good stuff. And let’s do the leaves, just get some color on there, so grab your leaf fill and that plus sign and a clipping mask, grab the dark green. I’m just gonna bring up my brush quite large and just give it a regular tap. I’m gonna go in the center of this guy here, get the shadow, maybe on the tips here, you know what I mean? Just sort of give it a little splashy paintiness. Don’t need much, I think that’s probably good. We can go and make up a lighter green too, if you wanna just to give it a little more, maybe bring down the opacity. And I’ll just play with it a little bit. Okay, actually with this lighter green, I’ll add it for you. I’m gonna grab my inking brush again, the dry ink and just go in this little vein here. I think I’ll just add a little something, maybe we’ll just have that in there, maybe just like a couple highlights on a few, in the center, when the light’s hitting it. Maybe a little in here.

 

Okay, I think that’s good. I’m gonna do the same thing to the flowers as well, so let’s go back to our clipping mask layer, grab that light purple, I’m gonna make an even lighter purple and maybe just… I don’t know where the light sort of hits, or we can add a few… Oops, little highlights. I don’t know, wherever you think they might happen to be. Something like that. Alright, and then the yellow, grab that clipping mask layer, it’s gonna be nearly white at that point. Oops, what’s happening? Oh, I’m not sure. Oh, I know why, because I have it on multiply. So I’m going to add a… Well, actually, I’ll just go on this layer here, the stamen layer, just add some highlights there. You could blend these a bit too, if you wanted not so liney, that’s totally something I might do. Alright, so I think… Actually I’m gonna just do what I did to that other one, I’m gonna go to the line layer of the purple, add a new layer, clipping mask, and grab the dark… I’m actually just gonna go to my painting with the gouache 100% and just darken these lines in here a little bit. There. Just needed a little pop. I think that’s better.

How To Draw Pansies In Procreate

How to Draw Pansies – A Floral Step by Step Procreate Tutorial

Hi guys, I’m Kris. Welcome to this week’s tutorial. Let’s draw together.

In this week’s tutorial, we’re drawing a cute bunch of pansies in Procreate and I’m sure you can create this too, if you follow along all the way to the end. If you feel rushed, just be sure to hit that pause button and rewind to catch up and save this video to your library so you can re-watch if you need some extra practice.

Today we’ll be using all free brushes found in Procreate. And don’t forget that once you finish this entire video to share it on Instagram, tag me in the images as well as the description, so I can find it and feature your artwork here on the next Draw Together video. So for this video, I’ve made you a free colour palette just in case you’d like to use the same colours as me during this tutorial, and you can just tap on the link in the video description below where you can download and install it.

And also below, you’ll find a link to a goody bag where there’s some free illustrative goodies in there for you, I love to give to you. And also there is a link to my shop, so you can go check out what’s going on over there.

Let’s Jump In

So let’s create our canvas at 4000 x 4000 pixels, 300 DPI and sRGB. I’m just gonna grab my… Just a black here, and we’re gonna start with a sketch, so I’m gonna go to sketching and 6B pencil. I’m gonna have my pencil at about… Oh, I don’t know, 45%, just so you can see it, and I’m just gonna start by getting some shapes going and just getting an idea of where I want these flowers to be.

So I’m just gonna start with a circle and bring my centre point here. And the way pansies go, they have a few layers of petals. So I’m gonna bring one out here, it’s gonna be like that. Another one’s gonna be maybe like this, gonna have two behind here.

Oops, maybe not quite like that. Two behind here, they’ll overlap, kinda come out here. Maybe a bit more up there, like so, and then there’s gonna be this petal here, the one that kind of… I don’t know, goes around like this. So that should be a good… This is gonna be five petals total, so that’s fine for that one, I’m just gonna shrink that down just a touch.

Get That Circle

Bring them over there, maybe in the centre. The next one I’m gonna have over here, maybe they will be touching, just gonna get that circle, gonna have that… It’s gonna be… Have this one out in front, this lower guy, something like that. Sort of these three are always kind of in that design, and then two in the back can vary.

This one, maybe it will come over more, and this one will be… Maybe that’s a little bit too much, hold on. Over like that, and this guy, the fifth one will pop in at the back there. And then we’ll have one over here, that’ll be the centre of this guy, this front one, coming in here. Okay, and then he’s gonna be over here, back one… Okay, so that’s sort of where we want those guys to be.

Great, so then we’re gonna get the stems, and they will start from where the base is, so you can get an idea. It’s a little bit on the thicker side, and this guy is gonna kind of… Maybe he’ll curve a little bit more like that, will be about there. This guy will be coming in like that. Okay, and then some leaves. Sort of like so. I’m bringing him in like that. I’m trying to decide. Actually, maybe we’re gonna have a little bud that’s coming up here to fill in this little area here.

The bud will be just a bunch of wiggly, here, little wiggly leaves like that, and it’ll have the greenery on top. We’ll see later. So that’s just a little bud that’s coming up. And we’ll have some more leaves, will just be overlapping and falling behind. This guy, let’s have him come over here, like so.

Maybe there’ll be one back here and kind of, yeah, I want them all to be overlapping and stuff, like that. This guy in the back doesn’t actually have any, so what are we gonna do there? I’m running out of room.  Maybe in there.

Knock Down The Opacity

Okay, let’s see how that goes when I do my better copy for my line work. So I’m just gonna take this and knock down the opacity to about 25%, create a new layer by hitting that plus sign, and then actually I’m gonna stick with my 6B pencil today for my line work.

I think that will work nicely for what we’re trying to do here, so just stay on that and I’m gonna stay at 45%. I think that was working just fine. So then I’m gonna go and just make some nicer line work. I’m gonna do these little details, so these little… Oops, I’m on the wrong way.

These little details, I am just gonna do a little scoop, a little scoop like that, and then they’re gonna have a circle like that. So that’s how the little centres of these guys go. And then I’m just gonna play with the pressure of my pen a little bit just to create these wiggly lines, and that will make a nice petally look.

So you can play with this. Again, I love nature because of it’s, you get not perfectly straight lines,  it can be wiggly and be a little bit interpretive which is always nice.

Okay, good, and then we’re gonna do this guy, so these two little bean shapes, a little smile. This guy is gonna come underneath this one. Like that. Okay, this guy lastly for this part like so… Just make them all lazy and do a little overlap here by drawing that line, it looks like it’s folding over.

You can make those little fun details if you want… Okay, let’s get this guy here, this is gonna be the leaf part over top of our bud, and then these will be… Oops these will be the petals here. Okay. And the stem. Okay. Great. And you just continue on and line your work, adding all the little touches that you want.

So actually with the leaves, I’m gonna do… I’m gonna do this, so on the middle, I’m gonna go, just do these little lines here for the veining, so I’m pushing a little bit more at the beginning and easing up as I lift my pen at the end.

Let’s See What We’ve Got

Okay. So I think that’s good. We can turn off our sketch layer here. So let’s see what we’ve got. Okay. That looks good for now. And then I’m gonna add a couple more line details to this.

So when we come in here, you can see this would be nice just to add a little line and then maybe… I hope you can see this. So if when it goes like this, you might see it behind. So that creates a more realistic effect of how they’d actually be in real life, not so flat. So I like adding those little details, too, when they come up and they’re just not really planned, they just happen as I do those little squiggly lines and stuff.

So just bring in these little bits where you can find them. So from the centre and also from the top. A few little ones more in the centre, sometimes, just to bring that in there. It looks good. Okay. I’ll just keep going. So there again, this little scoop, if you put that line there, it’ll look better, like it’s folding. There’s another one where you can make it look like that fold.

Okay so I think that’s pretty good for that part, I’ll start coloring it in. So I’m gonna just do some solid fills and go over with some painting techniques. So I’m just gonna go below my sketch layer and add new layer by hitting the plus sign. And let’s go find some new colours. And let’s start with the light pink colour and go into inking, and I’m gonna grab that studio pen.

I’m just gonna use that for my solid fill. I’m gonna turn off my background layer so you can see ’cause it’s quite a light colour. So let’s just go in and I’m going to just fill this in, just colour within the lines.

And then I’m just gonna drag my colour into there and fill that. Next, I’m gonna create a new layer. I’m gonna use this darker pink colour and fill in this one.

I think I’m gonna be dragging my colour in and fill, and then we’re gonna do another layer and grab this light yellow colour and fill in this one. Okay, and then I’m gonna just do this little guy too, I’ll make him yellow. Alright. And then lastly, we’ll just do our green, so create a new layer and get that light green colour and we’ll fill in all our greenery.

Solid Fills Done

Okay, so now we have all our solid fills done and we’re ready to do a little bit of painting and shadows and stuff like that. So I’m going to just create a new layer. Actually, I’m gonna… Yeah, I’m gonna do a new layer and I’m gonna use this dark orange colour and with this solid we still have our studio pen, I’m just gonna do these little bits here, all the way around.

And then I’m gonna grab that medium yellowy orangey colour and do the top two thingies. Okay, so then we have that done.

Great. Okay, and then I’m gonna do a clipping mask on a bunch of these guys. So first, I’m gonna go back to our pink and a new layer, hit the plus sign, hit that layer and say clipping mask, so that will mean that we can only draw within this shape, which will be nice, then we don’t have to do a bunch of clean up.

I’m gonna grab that medium pink colour, and then go to my painting. Where are you painting?  And grab my gouache, I’m just gonna use that for now. Let’s see, I’m going to be at about, let’s say 5% and just bring in some shadows here, so quite close to the beginning. I’m gonna make that a shadow and just have it so all the tips of the flowers are gonna be lighter.

And you can just have some lines up there if you want, just sort of get in these grooves. And you can build that up by just doing layers too, and just get under here, in all these little folds.

More Layers

Get in and come behind here. I’m creating that shadow there. Okay. So hopefully you can see that. That’s working. Okay. So then I’m gonna do the same thing to this darker layer here, so I’m gonna add new layer, hit clipping mask and grab… Oh, I didn’t do a darker colour, so I’m gonna make this for you, grab this darker colour, kind of a reddy-pink and do the same thing.

And if you make a mistake like I just did, you just get your eraser, take that out,  ’cause I like to have this, just to make sure that you’re creating that depth, having the dark behind and then the light tips of the flowers, I think that looks good.

Okay, and then same with the yellow one, create new layer, clipping mask, and then get that medium yellow, and we’ll do the same thing. And then we’re gonna come in here with this bud too. Okay, perfect. And then same thing with our green, so create new layer, clipping mask, grab that darker green and just start bringing in some shadows here.

Don’t Forget!

Oops, I forgot to fill one of those in. Okay, so I’m just gonna go and fix that, grab my green and drag and drop in there, there we go, fixed.

Grab the dark green again and just finish up with my shadows here. Okay, so we have a little bit of depth going on. I’m gonna turn my background layer back on, I prefer it that way. Okay, so now let’s just go and do the details for the… That make pansies actually look like pansies. So I’m just gonna continue on with my clipping or the layers that I did for my clipping mask.

You can make new ones if you want to by all means, that would be less destructive, but today, I’m just gonna do it over top, so we don’t have a ton of layers. So I’m gonna start with this medium yellowy colour, so I’m on my pink one, so on that clipping mask above it.

I’m gonna just go and make that… I don’t know, little face that they have just with the yellow, and I’m gonna be layering it. I’m gonna start with this. So here it kinda goes, it’s almost like a butterfly shape. I’m just gonna fill that in. Okay, and then I’m gonna go and grab this quite dark, eggplant purpley colour, and then go over top.

So I want to have an outline of the yellow, and this is gonna be quite dark. It’s kinda gonna have the edges a little painty but quite heavy in the centre.

So the same thing to the dark pink one, so I’m gonna just go to that clipping mask layer, grab that medium yellow, same thing. Grab that eggplant colour. Okay, and lastly on our yellow one. So the yellow part won’t show quite up as much, but we’ll still put it in here. Again, grab that eggplant. I don’t know why I’m calling it eggplant, it’s purple.  Whatever. Sounds fancy.

So It’s Looking all Right

Okay, at least they look like pansies, right? But I’m gonna make a few changes ’cause for this picture I don’t actually want my lines to be black. So what we can do, ’cause I didn’t feel like doing each line a different colour, we can just do this after the fact.

So this is a little thing that I do sometimes. Again, I’m gonna create a clipping mask on top of my lined layer and then yeah, hit clipping mask, and I’m gonna go in and just grab the colours that I want to make the outlines. So I’m gonna go back to my inking and grab that studio pen.

You can do this a number of ways, you can do this with studio pen or you could just to color it with a marker or anything like that, but I’m just gonna use studio pen today. I’m gonna grab this darker pink here, and I’m gonna make the lines this colour, so because it’s a clipping mask, I can just go over like that, and it’s gonna just make my lines pink, so I can just really do a swoop, do a circle, careful around here, and just make a circle around and then fill that circle in and then just that part is that pink colour.

So I like that better, that look better for this particular thing. So I’m gonna go and change everything here. So I’m gonna grab this darker one and then do the lines for this flower.

So I’m just going all the way around holding down my pen, making sure the line up again, and there we go, just a little bit more subtle. Grabbing this dark orange, going here.

Hopefully I got that in there. Yeah, got that. And then, don’t forget about this while we’re here. Little guy, and then I’m gonna go and grab this dark green and do the same to my greenery, and you can just do it in the sections, I’m just trying to make sure that I get it all covered here. And you can just go and color over top too.

You don’t have to do the drag and drop, it’s just a little bit quicker sometimes, but when you’re doing picky things like all these little details and it’s a little bit harder to get in, you might wanna do it all by hand. Okay. Let’s see if this works. Oops.

Looking A Lot Better!

Perfect. Okay, so that’s a better look, I think for this particular thing. And we can add another little touch here by going into the wrench. And I’m gonna give you a free watercolour paper texture that is in the downloads as well, so go and grab that if you want, just to add another little layer to it.

So I’m gonna go to my wrench and to add insert file. I’m gonna go into my Dropbox and go and find that. Wherever you downloaded yours will probably be on your iPad if you downloaded this watercolour texture. I’m gonna find that, import that, and I’m just gonna use the little toggles to expand it all the way out and make sure that it is at the top of our layer.

And then I’m gonna click the end and go to multiply, so that will give us a watercolour texture, which is a little bit nicer than just having it plain for this particular project.

So I think that’s it, guys. So I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial, and if you did, hit that like button, subscribe, and don’t forget to hit the bell icon so you can be notified of new tutorials, just like this one in the future. I post every single week, so I’d love to see you back here.

Thank you so much for watching.

I love you guys, and I’ll see in the next one.

How to Draw Spring Flowers – Tulip Illustration – Step by Step Procreate Tutorial

 

Hi Guys, I’m Kris. Welcome to This Week’s Tutorial. Let’s Draw Together!

 

In this week’s tutorial, we’re drawing a vase with some spring tulips in it, all in Procreate, and I’m sure you can create this too if you follow along all the way to the end of the video. If you feel rushed, be sure to hit that pause button or just rewind to catch up and save this video to your library so you can re-watch if you need a little extra practice. Today we’ll be using all free brushes found in Procreate and don’t forget once you finish this entire video to share it on Instagram, tag me in the image, as well as the description, so I can find your artwork and feature you here in the next draw together video.

Check Out My Shop Of Cute Illustrations

For This Video, I’ve Made You a Free Colour Pallet

Just in case you’d like to use the exact same colors I’ll be using during this tutorial. And you can just tap on the link in the video description below where you can download it and install it to Procreate. And also below, you’ll find a link to a goody bag where you can grab some free goodies and visit my shop and support me there. So let’s jump in and just start out with our canvas, and I’m gonna set it up at the usual 4000 by 4000 pixels, 300 DPI, and sRGB. And I’m actually gonna start by going into my layers palette and going to the background colour and changing it just to a light blue grey. You can pick whatever colour you want, up to you. Just for a little variety, let’s change it up a little bit.

Remain On Layer One

So, I’m gonna remain on layer one and I’m gonna pick, I think I’m gonna start with the lightest yellow colour, and I’m gonna go and pick the studio pen. You can use a mono pen or just something that’s straight and solid that should work just fine. I’m going to have my opacity at 100% and my size is going to be around 20%, and I’m gonna go and make this so that we make our vase symmetrical. So how we’re gonna do this is go into our little wrench here, go to hit canvas, and then go to the drawing guide and turn that on, toggle that on, then go to edit drawing guide, click on that and you’ll see a few options here. So, we’re gonna go to the symmetry, little tab there, and the thickness is gonna be the thickness of this line in the center, just so we can see. Hopefully, you can see that there. And then we’re gonna click on the options and we want it to say vertical and assisted drawing will be toggled on.

Good To Go!

So once you have that set up, we’ll be good to go, we just click done and here we go. So you can see this layer says assisted on it, so this is the layer that it’s gonna allow us to draw symmetrical things. So I’m gonna start just with… I’m gonna zoom out a little bit, I’m gonna just start with a straight line first and I’m just gonna drag and hold, and then I’m just gonna tap to make that totally straight, and then I’m just gonna do whatever vase shape you want, up to you. And there we go. So now we have it symmetrical, hopefully you can see that, that’s my vase shape I’ll be working with. And then I’m just gonna go and drag and fill that, now we can really see it. So that’s just your vase, and now we have it symmetrical and we’re good to go, so we can just go and turn that assist to drawing off now if we want. And then I’m just gonna go back into my canvas, and I’m just gonna turn that drawing guide off, ’cause it’s kind of annoying to look at.

Click On A New Layer

So there we go, that’s all we needed for that part. And then I’m going to click on a new layer by hitting the plus sign, drag that layer to below this layer one. I’m gonna just go and pick, just grab a gray colour, any gray will do, and I’m just gonna make an oval below here. And I’m just gonna hold and wait till it goes kinda perfect, I wanna have a little bit lopsided and I’m gonna put my finger down just to make it straight. So that will be our little shadow layer, and I’m gonna drag in here to fill. It looks a little bit hard right now, so what I’m gonna do is go up here to your magic wand and go to Gaussian blur, hit layer and now all you need to do is just take your pen and drag it across. Can you see how it’s… I’ll zoom in. How it blurs a lot, so the more I drag, the more it blurs. So you can choose how much you’d like this blurred, I’m just gonna have it about, let’s see. A little bit more than that. Just about there, I think.

Let’s Blend!

And then I’m gonna go and click on this layer and I’m going to change, click on the end to change the blending mode, and I’m gonna put it to multiply. So no matter what colour behind it’s gonna react to that, whatever background colour we have, and then I’m just gonna bump down the opacity as something that looks somewhat reasonable. Maybe around 30%. I think that’s good. Okay, so now let’s work on our vase a little bit, I’m gonna click on that and then add a new layer, tap on it and hit clipping masks. So I’m just gonna do a little bit of shading just to give it a little bit of dimension. I’m gonna go and pick up that orangey colour, click on your brush, and we’re gonna go to, let’s go to air brush and just have that soft brush and it’s going to be at 100% and let’s start, let’s say 8%, that should be fine. So I’m just going to just give the edges just a really light little dusting here, maybe more so in the bottom a bit. A little bit on the side here. And then I’m gonna bring the brush up a little bit more maybe to about 25%. Just a little bit of a dust there.

Rounding It Out

So now we have a little bit more of a rounded shape. It’s a little bit much there, okay. And then I’m gonna go and grab that lighter yellow and I’m gonna add this to this as well, so I’m just making it lighter, even lighter yellow and still with the air brushing, I’m gonna bring it down back to about 8% again. Maybe let’s just give it a little bit of light on this side. Good, nice. So there we have our shaded vase, so we can decorate it and make it a little bit prettier, but at first I think we’ll put our flowers in and then we can kinda leave that to the end. So, I’m gonna select all three layers and hit my arrow and just move, move this down a little bit just so I have some more room, maybe I’m gonna shrink it just a hair, just so I have enough room for these flowers to come in, perfect. And then I’m going to select the shadow layer, hit the plus sign to create a new layer and bring that below, so all our layers will be below the vase so they go behind in it.

Draw Some Stems

So next, I’m gonna draw the stems of the tulips, so I’m just gonna grab this darker green here, then I’m just gonna stay on that studio pen for now. And let’s see what size… That’s still good. Okay, so we can stay on about 18% to draw these little stems and leaves and whatnot. So I’m gonna have one coming out about here, and then we’ll have one here. Maybe a little shorter guy over there. Let’s have some leaves here, like so. Have one coming out the front here. Okay, let’s see how that is. I’m gonna fill these leaves. Oops, I didn’t close that in. There we go. Perfect. Maybe we’ll have… Actually, so those ones are in front, so I’m gonna make another layer, drag it below, and these leaves will be behind, so that will help us later when we’re doing some shading and whatnot. So that one’s gonna be behind. And maybe we’ll have just another little guy in there go behind. Perfect.

A Couple Of Tweaks

Okay, so I think I’m just gonna go back to this layer and just tweak these a little bit, I want my stems to have a little bit more thickness, so I’m just gonna push down a little bit more. They need to be a little bit sturdier. Okay. That’s probably good. Great, and then we can go on top of this layer, I’m gonna click a new layer and make it a clipping mask. So, I’m gonna grab the light green, I’m gonna go and grab, let’s try the charcoals and maybe the… Let’s see, the willow charcoal, let’s try that. It’s gonna be at 100% opacity and 18%. Oh, that’s nice. Just to kind of lightly, just giving it a little bit of texture, just a little bit of something. Just play around with the sizes, it’s not crucial at this point, I’m at 8% right now. Give it a little something. Bring out that leaf there. Good, and then we can go into the same thing to layer five, these leaves that are behind, so I’m gonna click on that, add the plus sign, make it a clipping mask. And I’m actually going to use a darker green now. I will also add this to the palette for you, maybe let’s give it a little more depth in there.

Do The Tulip

Okay. We can use that darker green here too, just maybe give a little edges to that. Oh, I think that looks good. Okay, so now let’s do our little tulips, so I’m going to go and create a new layer on top of that, still below the shadow just to keep everything kind of organised and go back and grab our… Not our painting, our studio pen. So we’re still on… What were we on? 18%, and that’s fine. So let’s start with these tulips here. So I am gonna start with grabbing my colour would be good, so I’m gonna grab that hot pink and create the first little puddle here, it’s gonna kinda go like this, and then there’ll be one kind of like this. And I’m going to fill those in. And I know that’s not quite right, but those are the petals that are closest to us, and then we’re gonna do another layer kinda like how we did it for the leaves to make the ones behind, and that will just help speed up with some of our shadowing and whatnot. Okay, so this one is gonna go… Let’s have it more, a little bit more open here, like that.

Making Some Fixes

That’s not quite right.  Like that. Gonna come in. Okay. And now I already see that I will need to change this layer. I’m actually going to bring this behind the leaves. And you’ll see why in a sec, I forgot about this little guy here. So we want him to be behind for this part. And I’m gonna fix this little area here. Okay. Then I’m just gonna go to this layer that has the stems, grab my eraser and just fix that a bit. So that’s going in there a bit more. Perfect. Okay, so then I’m gonna go back to this layer, create a new one and bring it below and we can create a darker colour here, just to begin with, so we can see what we’re doing. And then we’re just gonna put the petals in here, like so. Now we can add a few more, I think. Okay, that’s good. And I’m just gonna do one more layer, you can have this even darker, just making it up as we go, and just a few more in the back here.

It’s Okay, It’s Alright

Okay, alright. So now we can add some more detail to the petal part. So I’m going to go to this layer, this sort of middle layer, and start there. And I’m just gonna add a new layer clipping mask, stay on this darker colour, I think that will do as well. And go and let’s stick with the charcoals, the willow is good, we’ll stay on the same size at about eight and just let’s make it a little darker in here, give it a little depth and sort of give it a little something in here, so I can just go around and do that. Okay. That looks good. Okay, and then same, I’m gonna go to the layer on top, add a new layer clipping mask, and get this lighter pink here, and let’s just give some life there. Alright. Okay, so then I’m going to just create a new layer and we’re gonna use just the white, and I’m gonna go back to inking and grab my favorite draw ink brush and let’s just do some extra little details, so I’m just gonna give a few little highlights here. I’m gonna have to fix these stems.

Flowers Need A Vase

Okay. I think that’s good for that. So why don’t we work on our vase a little bit and add something a little bit more interesting to it. Let’s go and go to the top and hit the plus sign. And grab this sort of beigey colour here, taupey-beigey. Let’s do some raffia. So we’re on our dry ink brush still, so that should be good, and let’s just kind of like, bring some lines around here, maybe I’m gonna make this a little bit bigger, actually, maybe about 16, and just sort of, you know, they’re all kind of a little bit messy, isn’t it? Have that stuff and kind of have a knot here, just messy sort of lines. And then, let’s see, it kinda has that…

Use Your Imagination

Okay. So that’s probably good. Just use your imagination with that, grab a little darker brown, and we’re just gonna give it a little bit of depth, so it makes sense, ’cause right now it kinda looks really like a big mush right now here. So just define some of those lines. So why don’t we make a little tag underneath our raffia tie here, so I’m gonna go into my layers and create a new layer and just pop it below that, and it does automatically go as a clipping mask. So just double check that, ’cause you won’t be able to draw outside of our vase here. So I wanna go and grab our studio pen again, leave it on the same settings, it’s fine at 18. And let’s just draw a tag. So you can have whatever shape you want. I’m just gonna make something, I don’t know, reminiscent of a luggage tag shape, I guess, something like that.

Write A Little Message

Okay, so now we can use that to write a little message on, but first, I’m going to make a little shadow. So I’m gonna actually duplicate this and my duplicate below, I’m just going to… I’m gonna give it this warm orange colour and you’re not gonna see anything happen, but you’ll see it below. But where we’re gonna move it just like so. Maybe down like that, and then we’re gonna go back to our magic wand. Go to Gaussian blur and layer, and again, just give this a blur like so. Mine’s at 15%, if that’s helpful. Now this, I am gonna make this a clipping mask, ’cause you see, I’ll show you, that it’s popping out here. So that’s not logical, so we’ll just clip that to the vase, so that’ll work. And now we have a nice little drop shadow below that. Okay, and we can move it over a little bit, it might be making more sense if it didn’t have too much on that side. That’s probably good.

 

Okay, so we can go back to our tag layer and make another one above it, and you can write a nice little message and I’m sure yours will be even prettier, because as we all know, I am not known for my hand lettering skills, so.  You can write whatever message you want. Happy Easter, Happy Spring. I’m just gonna say, “Thank you.” I’m gonna just do it with my dry ink at about 10, and I’m just, hopefully and neatly gonna say “Thank you.” You know, it’s just not my best skill.  Alright, something like that. I’m sure yours will look much better.  But we can decorate the tag, of course, then maybe we should do that, maybe we can just move this up a little bit. I can still read it and maybe you put a little… Grab the orange. Maybe that looks better, a little flourish or something. So you can decorate this however you want, of course, you can go in and maybe I’ll do this with this tag, you can go and take your eraser, and I’m just on air brush and a hard brush. So I’m going to bring it down to 2%. Let’s just see if we just cut little holes out of it.

And You’re Done

There we go. Makes it a little bit more interesting. Maybe I’ll move this up again, we’ll shrink it down, move it up. There, so we have a little cut-out tag, that’s kinda fun. So I think that’s it for today.

How to Draw a Wild Rose Illustration – Step by Step Procreate Tutorial

 

Welcome to this week’s tutorial!

Hi guys, I’m Kris! Welcome to this week’s tutorial. Let’s draw together. In this week’s tutorial, we’re drawing a wild rose in Procreate and I’m sure you can create this too if you follow along with the video all the way to the end. And if you feel rushed, just be sure to hit that pause button or just rewind to catch up and save this video to your library so you can have some extra practice. So today we’ll be using all three brushes found in Procreate, and don’t forget, once you’ve finished this entire video, share it on Instagram and tag me in the image as well as the description, so that I can find your artwork and feature you here in the next draw together video. So for this video, I’ve made you a free colour palette, just in case you wanna use these same colours. You don’t have to, you can use whatever you want, but that is in the description below; you can just tap on that and download it and install it into Procreate, and of course, below you’ll also find some links to free goodie bags and free good stuff that I’d love to give to you, and there’s also a link to the shop where you can find all of the Clip Art goodies and lots of other stuff.

 

So let’s dive in!

And create our canvas of 4000 x 4000 pixels, 300 DPI, and I’m gonna start with my 6B pencil, and I’m just gonna use this dark brown here. We’re just gonna do a sketch first, just kinda get the placement of all the petals and all that kind of good stuff first, so I’m just gonna start with a loose sort of circle, not a perfect circle, it’s just gonna be slightly on the side and just sort of get where my centre point is going to be, it doesn’t have to be that specific.  And then just start mapping out where I want my petals, so it’s gonna be something like this coming out from here, and another one coming out here. This one is gonna come out here, actually, I think the centre line is actually gonna be a little bit lower. So the centre of those flowers will be a bit lower, so it would be like this. This petal here… I mean, they’re flowers so it doesn’t have to be exact. You can interpret it however you want. There’s some rules, but not really.  You can be pretty loose with that.

 

Okay, so like this. And I don’t know something like that. Just gonna erase that. And then this guy is gonna come down here. I don’t know. I’m gonna have to wiggle here. And let’s see. Then you wanna have one that has a little bit of interest to it, so maybe we’ll see the underside of the kind of side of that one. And it’ll come around here. So, I’ve made some of them so they are overlapping, and some of them that you can kind of see in-between, just to give a little bit of interest to your picture. Just to give a little bit of interest to your flower and yeah, I think that should be good. So we have one, two, three, four, five petals, it’s kind of a standard thing. I think I want this a little bit shorter in here. And then, let’s just do some leaves and sort of the base. So I’m gonna bring my stem and it can just go, I don’t know, kind of like this. Maybe we’ll have another little bit of it over here. Something like that. There’s some leaves. So when it’s overlapping, that makes it look a little bit more interesting. Something like that. And that should be good. Okay, so let’s have a look at the centre here. I wanna make sure that it’s down low enough, I still think I’ve drawn it a little touch high here, just for the angle of this. ‘Cause there’s gonna be a little… What is it? A stamen that comes out here, so just give it a rough look like that. Maybe it looked just a little bit thick. Just a little bit thinner, there we go.

 

Like so, and then we’re gonna have all our little bits like this. Okay, so we know that. Just right now, I’m just trying to get the direction; it doesn’t have to, obviously, not too detailed, but just kinda try to get how these leaves are gonna lay. So I’m gonna know that this goes, I kinda want it to be scooping in a little bit more here, to shout a bit. Okay. And I don’t really like the way this line looks. Okay, so I think that’s probably pretty good for a start. We can always just take our liquify tool, if you go to your magic wand and go to liquify, go to push and you can just move things around if you want to, if you’re not really happy with the shape. If a petal has gone out too far or something like that, this is a good time to go and just make those little adjustments and stuff, so don’t be afraid to use that, it’s one of my favourite little tools, especially when I’m sketching. Okay, well, I could be fiddling with this for a while, but let’s get to our good copy. So I’m gonna go to our layers and click on the N and just bring down that opacity to about 20-25%, whatever works for you, and then click that plus sign so that we get a new layer and I’m gonna do my good copy on top of that.

 

So I’m gonna stick with my 6B pencil, I’m gonna be at about 75% and 100% opacity. And let’s just get in there and do some nicer line work. I’m gonna do a few of these little circly guys, just off the top here, before I set the lines in here, and I’m just gonna make that like that and maybe if we feel kind of bumpy like that… Okay. And then just with the pressure of your pen, just give it a little bit more pressure in areas, a little bit less, just to have some variety.

 

 

 

Just have those edges a little bit… Just you don’t want them exact.

 

Okay. I like drawing flowers, you can be so, just kind of more loose and, yeah, just a little bit more left to interpretation.  It’s kinda nice. Okay. So, let’s just keep going. I’m gonna do these little leaves here. Maybe we’ll have one coming out here, too.

 

Just having a little shaky hand is not a bad thing.  Keep doing the lines, just to give it that textured effect.

 

Maybe we’d have one over here, too. Something like that. Okay. I don’t think we need our sketch layer anymore. It’s kind of distracting me now, so I’m just gonna go into my layers and turn it off and let’s see. Okay, so that’s better. I think that’s a really decent start just to our line work. So now I’m gonna make some… Actually, I’m gonna do all the little circly things. So maybe we’ll just fast forward a little bit ’cause you can kinda get the idea pretty quickly, so let’s go. So all they’re going to be is just some circles and then you’re just gonna attach lines to them.

 

Okay, so that’s probably good for those little bits, and while we’re here, I’m just gonna try to make it sort of darker in the centre, just kind of making a little bit more attention to here. So I’m just gonna darken some of my lines. I’m gonna use the side of my pencil, just to give a little bit of shading too. It’ll give that nice little shadow effect. And just sort of put some darker lines, just coming out from the centre, just really making this more of a focal point.

 

Okay. So that should be fine, and then, I’m gonna go around the edges and just make a few little lines down. So when you have little things like this little jogs, you can kind of emphasize those just by pushing a little bit harder at the beginning and then swooping down, and that just creates that kind of fold look. So have a few of those from the top. That makes that… I don’t know. Well, petaly sort of wiggly look, I think it helps.

 

Okay, and then, from the base, I’m gonna leave a blank spot in between this and this. So I’m just gonna start halfway down, kind of, and bring that in there, just randomly, but make sure that they go with the flow of the petal. And you can do this and then you can do the little dots if you want to. You can do it like that. It has a nice of effect, too. This just really helps to show the direction of those petals, how they’re bending. Okay. So that’s pretty good. Let’s just go and do a few more details onto our leaves here. I’m just gonna… Because I… I don’t know why,  I’m gonna turn my canvas upside down, just ’cause it’s easier for me to do these lines this way. So I’m just gonna start from the base and do these little veins out.

 

Okay, and I’m just gonna take the side of my pencil and just give a little shadow here and there, just where it would naturally be shadowed. I just like having a little bit more graininess for this particular one.  If you’re doing straight water colour, then you wouldn’t do this. It wouldn’t really matter, but you can make it how you want it to look. Okay. Alright, so that’s pretty good. We could leave it at that if you just wanted to do an illustration, but let’s just put a little bit of a paint in there. I am gonna use some clipping masks ’cause if I was using this for Clip Art, this is how I would do it. I’m just gonna go and select my sketch layer at the plus sign. Go to… Let’s just pick the green at the moment. Go to our brushes and inking, gonna grab the studio pen. I just like to fill this in solid then it adds a solid background to it. So I’m just gonna do that right now, and then I’m gonna make it look more painterly later. So basically all I’m doing is just filling it in, just colouring in the lines, basically. And you can just either choose to colour it in like this, which isn’t the greatest with the studio pen, or you can just drag it in to fill it just like this. Here I’ll show you. So if you have a completed shape, then you can grab your colour and fill it in. So you can do that as well.

 

Okay. That’s all the green. I’m actually going to turn it white now. And I know sometimes people get confused why I do this, but I’ll show you in a second. I’m just gonna make this all white. I’m gonna turn off my background layer ’cause then you can see. So basically, all I’ve done is just fill it in with a colour. I use the colour just because I can see it,  when I have a white background on or I could just turn the background off and use white, which I’ll do right now for the flowers so you can see that difference. But yeah, it’s just so I now have a solid fill. So if I’m going to be using this as like I said, Clip Art, it’ll have a transparent background. But I don’t want any colours to fill in, so just… They always need to be solid, so. I hope that makes sense. Around it would be transparent, the actual image would be solid.  So I’m just gonna make sure everything’s filled in and then I can use clipping masks to do my painting on. That way I don’t have to do any erasing around the edges. If you’re just working on a canvas and you’re just making a painting, and it’s just gonna always be on a solid background, then you don’t need to worry about this, but because I make Clip Art, this step is how I find it easiest to do.

 

Hopefully that’s all filled in. Okay, great, so now we have our two parts filled in. So I can… I did it in two parts, just so it’s easier for me because then I can just colour the green parts without worrying about getting the flower all messy. So I’m gonna go back to my stems and just select that, hit the plus sign, and then do click on the layer, and click on clipping mask, grab the green, the darker green colour to start, and you can use whatever water colour brushes you have or we can… For today we’re just gonna use all the free stuff in Procreate. I’m actually just gonna use the gouache. That’ll work fine for us for this part too. So I’m just gonna bump up my gouache to about, I don’t know, 25% and just start painting.

 

So I kinda want it to look a little bit painted. So I’m gonna pick it up and make it so it’s a little bit more blottier here and there. That’s gonna be darker in here, of course. We can make some shadows. We can bring it down smaller, that small. About 10%, and just kind of bring it in there. Just colour it however you want it to appear. And I’m gonna go grab that lighter green. Maybe just bring in some interest here. You can set that here and there. Okay, great. So that was pretty simple. And then I’m gonna go and let’s colour in our flower here.  I can’t think. Let’s go in and colour in our flower, and I’m just gonna select that layer and hit the plus sign. Click on that. Hit clipping mask, and then I’m gonna grab this sort of peachy colour. I’m just gonna stay with the gouache and I’m gonna stay at about 8%. Let me just put in a few lines here.

 

Alright. I’m just gonna erase it just from the stamen here. And then I’m gonna go grab the pink and just maybe bump this up a little bit more to, what is that, 30%? And just sort of create a little circle, kind of, or just loose… I’m being really light at the edges. So I’m kind of building it up darker in the centre, lighter on the outside. I don’t want it to be too exact on each petal. I wonder if we need a little bit of brighter pink? Let’s try this. I’ll have to add this colour. Yeah, that’s looking a little dull. Okay, and then let’s just erase a little bit here. Okay. So now we can go and grab our yellow and I’m gonna… Yeah, the gouache is fine, just bring it down, way down to 5% or something like that, and then just colour this guy in nice and solid. Okay. And then I’m going to use this new pink we have and go and grab the… Go back to sketching and grab the 6B again. I’m just gonna fill in these, all these little dots. Oops, that’s not part of our thing there.

 

I think this may need to be darker. Let’s put that there. Okay and then I’m going to go… Just ’cause this doesn’t… There we go. And then I’m gonna just do a little extra touch. At the very top, I’m just gonna click select my top layer and then just add another one to the top, just make it white and just… I’m just gonna add a few little dots just for highlight, just to really make these come out a little bit. Just a dot. And then maybe just a little… A few here too. Good. Alright, perfect. Now, to have another touch, because this is still very flat, which is… Totally works for some applications, depending on what you’re wanting to do. But I’m gonna go into my wrench and into insert file. I’ve put in the description below, there’s a free water colour texture that you can download. And so mine is just in my downloads folder. So I just navigate to there and click on that and it will import it.

 

And I’m just going to make it the size of my canvas. Oops. And then do that. And then I wanna hit the N and make it or set it to multiply. So then we have a little bit more texture, which is nice. So you can just go back into your line work layer, and if there’s anything else you kinda need to add to and just maybe bump this up a little bit more. You just gotta make sure that your lines are interesting or they need to be… They don’t all need to be the same thickness. I like having variation in that. I think that helps just make it a little bit more of an interesting piece. So I think that’s it for today, guys.

5 Exceptional Peony Watercolor PNG Images For Download

Watercolor Peonies

You may be looking for peony watercolor images to use to make wedding invitations, seamless patterns, wall art, borders, bouquets, fabric, this, that or the next thing!  Now you may have been thinking about taking a course online to learn how to paint watercolor peonies but that isn’t going to solve your problem right now!

What we have done for you here is picked out 5 examples of exceptional peony watercolor paintings that you can download to use in your project.  These peony watercolor images are all hand painted by Kris Lauren and available in PNG format.   In addition, each watercolor peony flower is part of a larger collection of watercolor flowers.  So how that benefits you is that you get a lot more individual elements to create new compositions for your project rather than just one peony flower.

Let’s take a closer look at the 5 individual watercolor peonies and then we’ll talk a bit about the larger packages that they are a part of.

Peony Watercolor PNG

peony watercolor

Peony 1

Peony 1 is a lovely example of a hand painted watercolor flower using bold pink tones.  The bold tones really make this peony leap off the screen and will surely be even more eye catching in your finished project.  Painted with the light shining right to left, the shadows add a depth of color and realism to this watercolor peony that is truly striking.

peony watercolor

Peony 2

Peony 2 gives more of an overhead view of a peony flower.  This beautiful watercolor is painted using more soft pink tones with the light source directly overhead.  The level of detail and depth to this peony will cause your customers to “ooh and awe” over it.  Combining Peony 1 and 2 in a composition would give a wonderful contrast of bold and soft colors that would be very pleasing to the eye!

watercolor peony

Peony 3

While most watercolor peony paintings you will see focus on the fully bloomed peony as the subject matter, Peony 3 offers something different by focusing on the peony bud as its inspiration.  This image is a perfect complimentary image to peonies 1 and 2.  When used in a composition with the other peony images it makes the final image more interesting and complex by offering an interpretation of a peony flower in a different stage of its growth cycle.

peony watercolor

Peony 4

Employing more of a blush or muted pink color palette, this example of a watercolor peony is perfect if you are going for more of a soft and whimsical vibe in your project.  Again, despite the softer hues, there is still a depth and vibrancy to the flower that your customers will appreciate.

peony watercolor

Peony 5

Peony 5 is from the same family of watercolor images as Peony 4 and thus employs the same soft pink hues to achieve this exquisite watercolor peony.  Presented at a different angle gives a different perspective to the flower.  When peony 4 and 5 are combined in a composition a truly life like floral arrangement is created that will separate your product from the rest.

watercolor peony

Bonus Peony 6

Like peony 3, this watercolor offering is of a peony not yet in full bloom.  Using creamy pink and white colors, peony 6 will contrast nicely both in color and composition when used together with the other peony images.  When combined together one can create beautiful and whimsical floral arrangements, bouquets, borders and more.

The Collections

All of the watercolor peonies presented here are part of bigger packages that you can be purchased for personal or commercial use.  Let’s quickly take a look at the two collections these peony watercolor paintings are from.

Allegra Watercolor Collection

The Allegra Watercolor Clipart Collection is an assortment of floral frames, bouquets, wreaths and individual floral elements.  All files are in PNG format so you can easily use them in your project and the collection employs hot pink and deep violet colors along with metallic accents.  In addition to watercolor peonies you will also find anemones, gerberas and dahlias, to name a few, in the collection so you can really make some stunning compositions that your customers will love.

Peonies 1, 2, and 3 are from this collection.

See this watercolor flower collection.

Pretty in Pink Watercolor Collection

If, in addition to watercolor peonies, you also love watercolor roses than you will love the Pretty in Pink Collection!  The soft pinks and rose gold colors used in this collection are perfect if you want your project to have a very feminine feel to it.  Like the Allegra collection there are bouquets, sprays, frames, borders and individual floral elements for you to create stunning compositions for your project.

Peonies 4, 5, and 6 can be found in this collection.

See the pink rose png images in Pretty in Pink.

Conclusion

There you have it!  We hope these beautiful watercolor peonies will be just what your project needs.  If you want to check out more of Kris Lauren’s artwork you can see her many other watercolor flowers.

Cheap and Stunning Watercolor Florals For DIY Wedding Invitations

Cause saving money on the invitations means more money for the honeymoon! (at least that’s what he said…)

 

Hello Lovely Lady!

Hope you are doing well today!  If you are here because you are planning for your upcoming wedding then may we say a very heartfelt congratulations to you!  And if you are here because you are looking for watercolor florals to make your own wedding invitations to sell then a heartfelt congratulations to you too!

Hey, life is hard enough as it is.  We all deserve a congratulations once in a while just for being here!

Now the wedding invitation is extremely important especially for the bride.  For the groom…well he might have suggested saving money on the invites by just sending out an email.  (Sadly, we may be speaking from personal experience on this one!) ;-).  Don’t worry you will get him whipped into shape in time!

Anyways, so as a compromise, you got him to agree to let you make the invitations yourself as a cost saving measure because an email is just tacky – and EHEM, you have personal standards!  So, he is going to get what he wants and you are going to get what you want.  Really, it’s all about getting him to think he’s getting what he wants when it’s actually really you getting what you want.  Are we right ladies?

And what you want is stunning and elegant watercolor florals.

Why?  The reason you need fabulous watercolor flowers is so that when people ask where you bought your wedding invitations from you will get the satisfaction of seeing the look on their face when you say, “Oh, they’re nothing fancy. I made them myself, darling”. 😉

Okay now that we have got that out of the way let’s get right to the good stuff and show you some stunning watercolor florals that you will fall in love with for your wedding invitations.

You have probably been scouring the internet for watercolor floral art looking at wedding invitations and trying to figure out where to find the watercolor art you will need.  We’ve all been there and it is frustrating but let us give you a solution.

Just a quick aside…

For you first time DIY’ers, you want to make sure you purchase the watercolor florals that you are going to use with the correct license.  Yes, having a license is very important!  For those of you that are just making wedding invitations for your own personal wedding and purchasing from Pretty Little Lines than the standard license should suffice.

The standard license covers you for personal or commercial use up to 500 sales.  The extended license covers you for over 500 sales.  We suggest that you read over the license so you know what you can and cannot do with the art.  If there is any confusions simply contact us with your question and we’ll be happy to help you out.
