This was much easier to follow compared to other videos I've seen. The fact that you explained why you chose certain modes was especially helpful. You've earned a new subscriber!
hi! can you do an updated version? it looks like procreate might have changed the way the selection tool is because nothing happens when I click on the words for the outline
Thanks for explanation. I bought 2 lettering courses from Domestika and I did not understand too much . There was spanish iPads and faded translate. Thanks a lot . Please upload your courses on this site.
Ian, that was super easy to follow! Thanks a ton. Just goofing off with Procreate, and this was amazing!! THANK YOU! Super silly (rookie) question. I followed right along and it worked brilliantly, with the exception of one small part at the end. When you created the last layer, to add a some white accents (with overlay selected), I can't seem to get mine white. Regardless of what color I choose, it just makes a lighter color of the red (of the letter) I am attempting to put the highlights in. I know this is pretty difficult to troubleshoot just based off that, but if it's something wicked obvious, I would love to know what I missed. :) Thanks so much. This tutorial was great!
Super helpful! Do you think maybe in the future you can provide the approximate sizes of the brushes and level of a opacity you use when you select different brushes? I noticed in a lot of procreate tutorials, artist don’t usually show that and then I struggle to find the right size to match what I’m trying to do match the artist’s example. Thank you!
Before all that the artist would need to provide the canvas size. The brush size differs depending on how big canvas is. Opacity for my tutorials are always 100% unless otherwise stated.
Thanks for this. I was looking for a way to do outlining. I’ve done tones of lettering with shadows but I couldn’t outline. One Q: why do you need to set your top layer for the highlights on “overlay?” Won’t working on a top layer set on “normal” do the same thing?
HellÕ 👋🏼 Thank You for taking the time to upload this video. Can You also please tell me how to download this freestyler pack or if I can find it on my procreate by default? Where can I get this riptide stroke ?
As soon as I move the threshold at all the whole background turns blue. Then if I try to move it to the left only parts right next to the letters become un-blue. Hmmm
Trying to play around with my ipad and lettering, thank you for this tutorial. I tried it, and for whatever reason, after the blur step, when I tried to select inside the letter and draw out to fill the outline, it kinda just doesn’t work and highlights unevenly. Any pointers? Thank you!
I need help! I followed your outline steps to a tea and it worked many many times, but now I am trying to do the exact same thing and it will not outline. Could I have messed with the settings some how and changed something in the fill color tab? Everything goes good until I get to the very end and have to fill color.
Yeah, I was trying the same thing. Mine gets weird after the gaussian blur portion. I've tried both layers and it still won't turn my lettering and line white...any ideas?
@@lifeatdifferentspeeds8243 This was happening to me. Afrer gaussian blur....when you are outlining.....make sure you click and hold ON THE ACTUAL LETTERING you are trying to create the outline for. I was dragging on the background. Finally, after weeks of frustration I've figured out my issue. Yours might be similar??
Every time I do the selection tool it creates a border inside my lettering and when adjust the threshold it selects everything except my Gaussian blur. Any ideas why. Tried many times still the same.
@@dakotaolivier3609 the very first time I followed the tutorial it was working, then procreate crashed as I was doing the threshold part. Opened procreate tried continuing the piece I was working on then it started acting weird, hasn’t been the same ever since. I updated everything, procreate and my iPad iOS still nothing. The only thing next is to uninstall procreate but then I’ll lose all of my work so that’s not an option for me but if you don’t mind it you can try that.
@@IanBarnard thank you for the swift response. I’m sitting here on my iPad now trying to figure it out! I have the pen as well. I want to try a word mural on my garage wall.... I’m scared 🤪
Hiii Ian🎉I am Gina. I would like to ask if you would make a simple tutorial for procreate beginners? I would love to learn how to draw and add color to simple flowers and books. Please⚘️🫶
Helpppp whenever I click the letters after I click the automatic, the whole screen turns blue. I don't understand what is happening. I repeated the video several times
Have you tried the tutorial? If so, drop a link to your artwork here.
Im graffiti artist for 20 years and i find your youtube channel very useful for me, because i just started with procreate.

the overlay highlights kick up a notch. nice tip.
This is the best video about this technique. Thank you for taking the time to make it and publish it.

this is so great! I've been using another method to create an outline, but yours is more efficient and creates better results! Cheers
Just getting into art on iPad, thank u so much!

Been doing this several times. I know I'm on the right layer and all. Why all of a sudden the color fill part after s tool fills the whole page?
someone doesn’t follow instructions
Nicely presented! 👏🏼 Motion blur can be handy for creating extrusions if you have many corners to connect.
Lol... this how we did outlines and drops in photoshop back the 90s. Yes I’m old.
Is there an easier way now? I’m new to this.
I like the tip about using either one of your brushes or a monoline brush for smoothing the edges when we zoom in. I'll be sure to do that, thanks x
Great tutorial! Thanks for uploading.
Thank you! FINALLY what I’ve been looking for!
Awesome! Thank you for this! You explained it so simply, definitely going to give it a try.
Thanks Yeny. Glad you found it helpful and explained well.
Cool! I've already tried it! The letters for automatic selection must be thick, I did not succeed with thin ones.
Okkkkk SO HELPFUL! I love this! ❤
i tried and this is super cool and perfect !!!!
Awww it was fun and well explained.... just as beginner sometimes by selecting the features it was a bit too fast. So cool, please more more of these.
Nice work Ian! Thanks for sharing
Awesome tutorial! Thanks Ian!

this guy is a genius
Thanks Ian! You make it simple and wow! 🤯
Great video! Interestingly I was trying to find instructions for this only the other night? Now I can finish my piece. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for such an awesome tutorial.
This is really awesome..... Can you accomplish this in Procreate Pocket?
Thank you! Simple and quick tutorial but really useful 👏
Hey Ian, by any chance have you found a way to do this with sharp edges? I noticed this seems to create very rounded outlines.
HellÕ 👋🏼 Thank You for taking the time to upload this video. Can You also please tell me how to download this freestyler pack or if I can find it on my procreate by default? Where can I get this riptide stroke ?
Hi you can get it here: ianbarnard.co/products/freestyler
Thanks so much for sharing this video! Can’t wait to try it :)
I’m overwhelmed
This method is much better.. Thanks !
This is amazing, thanks!
Nice bro. Linework
Thank you bro, much love
When i do this my whole test becomes weirdly shaped and however i turn up or down the threshold it doesnt change
is the lettering guide included on the brush set?
Beautiful!!! Thank you!! 👍👏🌟
As soon as I move the threshold at all the whole background turns blue. Then if I try to move it to the left only parts right next to the letters become un-blue. Hmmm
And now when I even use a selection tool it only taps a tiny white dots I wonder if I messed something up permanently on this file

I may have figured it out, I noticed you freehanded it, I tried it with font, would that make a difference?
Does the motion blur method you previously used for 3D letters and shadows no longer work?
Cool, Create another lettering tutorial please...
Will do.
This channel is going BIG, keep it up!
Do u have to draw the wording for it to work or will this work on any lettering png etc

Great video of course! What program are are you using? I want to try this
I'm using Procreate which is only available for the iPad/iPhone

@@mrs2u441 don't be scared. Take a photo of your garage and make a mock-up of what it will look like.
This was the most helpful video!! Holy shit!
Super handy!
Thank you so much❤
I found this process completely exasperating, and it didn't work at all for me. Not even a little bit. Thank you for making the video.
thank you. im newbie
...thank you. .a big help
What about outlining TEXT?
How come my iPad in procreate doesn’t have alpha lock and color fill and when I hit Gaussian blue it doesn’t give me the layer option??? Please help?
Thank you !! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks! 🤌🏼✨
Great video
it work ...thankyou
Great, thank you!
Thanks for watching Juan!
When I do that it fills everything BUT the outline with color. What am I doing wrong?
Great tips. Glad to see more videos from you.
Getting better at the consistency but we'll see how long that lasts!
🔥
This didn't work for me, what version f procreate was used?
Excellent
Thanks
I only have gaussian blur no option for layer
Muchas gracias 😊
When I tap the lettering to make it white it just makes the entire background black
ian... do you sell this brush pack? what the name ... i want to buy ..
Yes I do. It's called Freestyler and you can get it at www.ianbarnard.com
does this only work if I draw the text and not type the text?
When I tap the letters it turned white the first time, but never again. Didn’t work for me
Will your brushes work on procreate pocket?
Yes they do. 👍
What if you want the outline to be different colors or an image? I can’t figure out how to do this and outline text/font
Same method but clip mask your image into that shadow he made, color can be changed easily with Hue saturation.
Hi there I just got procreate for some reason mine doesn’t give me the option for alpha lock or fill layer is their another way todo it ?
The text layer has to be rasterized
im working with illustrator for years but i have to say procreate is alot betyter to do these kind of typos...
What am i doing wrong . It’s not doing the blur
Hiii Ian🎉I am Gina. I would like to ask if you would make a simple tutorial for procreate beginners? I would love to learn how to draw and add color to simple flowers and books. Please⚘️🫶
is it the 12.9?
Wow! 🙌 🙏
Followed steps 5 times still haven’t gotten a result event close to yours
I want freestyle brush but i have no money please tell me how to get it for free
Why when I have to tap I can not do that 🥺
When I switch to automatic and click my lettering it turns the whole canvas one color
If it does that try tap and dragging to the left.
When I try the select part it doesn't work
Do you have a screen protector on your iPad?
'Fire' changes into 'fine' atlast
Helpppp whenever I click the letters after I click the automatic, the whole screen turns blue. I don't understand what is happening. I repeated the video several times
Have you tried dragging your Pencil to the left?
@@IanBarnard hi! Thanks for getting back to me. I figured out the problem!
Nice
I don’t think this works anymore. 😭 version 5.2.6
Why doesn’t it work for me 😭😭
Great
Thank you 🙏🔥🔥🔥 wish you could see what I made
