BEGINNERS GUIDE TO DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION (Procreate)

  • This is the most complete beginner guide/tutorial to digital illustration I could fit in a RUclips video lenght. I hope you find it useful! Please let me know if there is anything different you would like to see in my videos or anything you would like to learn!
    ❤️ These video take a long time with not that much financial return, if you want to support me, you can now use SUPER THANKS! Click on the heart-dollar button under my video ❤️
    FAQ:
    - What brushes are you using?
    For the lineart the HB Pencil brush and for the shadows Nikko Rull. Both come with Procreate
    - The reference picture I used: igmakeup.com/post/64471683007...
    - How big should the canvas be?
    I usually always paint in 300 dpi, the reason is that’s the standard number of dpi that a printer uses, it doesn’t make much sense to go higher unless you are working on a specific project that requires it, as it would slow down your pc/tablet unnecessarily.
    As canvas dimension, it depends a lot on what your goal is, for example if you want to print on a certain support use the dimensions of that support. For a drawing without specifications I use a canvas 2500x2500 or 3000x3000 pixels, depending on the level of detail I want to add and the machine I’m drawing on (a bigger canvas will require more processing power)
    When I post on social media I lower the canvas dimension and DPI to lower the risk of art theft. I use 72 DPI because that’s the resolution all screens use.

    A few things I forgot to mention in the video:
    *What brushes are you using?*
    For the lineart I use the HB Pencil brush and for the shadows Nikko Rull. Both come with Procreate
    *The reference picture I used:* igmakeup.com/post/644716830074781696
    *How big should the canvas be?*

    I find the part about lighting and shading most helpful, but I really would like to know more about the layers and what order they are in because I get confused about that and you don't really see other artists explaining it

    • @aki_anyway

    • @aki_anyway
      @aki_anyway  Год назад

      Hi! If your brush strokes look pixelated it could be because you’re painting on a small canvas.
      When you start a drawing try to set your canvas to 2500x2500 pixels or more, that should help you get smoother lines. Hope this helps 🙌
