Love this tutorial, what is your brush for the outline?

Thanks for watching! I mostly use monoline or studio pen for outlining!

[@emily_bernal0616]

I was hoping for a more thorough tutorial actually. I'm entirely new to procreate and I figured the basics out that are mentioned in this video, but when do I add layers? What brushes are you using (if more than monoline)? And how do I make it so that I can erase the way you did when drawing stripes on your shirt and not have it affect other layers? I know to use a different layer but to have it just draw under other layers is what I can't figure out. Thanks for the tutorial but answers would be appreciated :)

[@ut00bwatcher]

I noticed that this was done in July. Not certain if you've discovered a way to get better detail with hair BUT the studio pen with a fine brush size and smudge tool is great to get realistic strands and full heads of hair. Thing is though...it's very time consuming and you definitely want to work in layers. But other than that....I like your work.

[@StrictlyKendra]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that out!

I would recommend adding a layer underneath the picture so when you outline it, the white goes behind the illustration if that makes sense!

[@amberfaith3028]

When you “drop” the colour, don’t let go straight away. You’ll see it pop up along the top saying “colour drop threshold” you can then slide left and right (similar to when you’re changing opacity) and it should reduce how harsh it drops the colour. Hope that made sense.

Make sure there are no gaps in the outline! It helps to zoom in really close to double check. Also make sure you're on the same layer!

[@JillJones]

When I try to drag and drop to fill in color it pretty much feels in the entire picture are we supposed to be putting each of these elements on different layers?

[@falonalove7241]

You have to make sure the shape you’re filling in is a ‘closed’ shape, otherwise the color will bleed out into other areas. I hope that makes sense
