 what's good youtube this is what you were back at y'all again with another art video if you new to this channel go ahead hit that like button comment subscribe makes you click post notification so you will be notified every time you put drops of heat in today's video i will be giving you guys a basic tutorial on how to use procreate so without further ado let's jump right into it okay first thing you want to do you want to come to the top right corner and you want to click that plus symbol and then let's go to new canvas now this is the layer where you set up the quality you want to use and it show you the max layers you can use with the size of the canvas you select so the bigger i go at my page the less layers i get to use and i like to use use inches let me see let me show you right here hold up turn that eight eight by eight so it's showing me right now if i use eight by eight the maximum layers i get to use is 89 so watch this if i go up to 18 by 18 i only get 14 layers but the bigger your canvas is the more detail you'll be able to squeeze in there you know i'm saying so i think 18 by 18 is a good size and if you need a few more layers we can change that 18 to 18 to 15 to 15 and now look we get 22 layers you know i'm saying 300 resolution make sure you put it on 300 res and hit create then it's gonna bring you inside procreate so what you want to do every time i'm drawing like before i start a serious drawing i come up here to my um my pencil brush and you can leave the first one selected make it as big as possible and i always start out with a sketch i don't care what you're doing you know what i'm saying you want to always start out with a nice little sketch man so let's just make a little quick little quick little sketch you know what i'm saying you always want to get get your whole picture measured measured out give me let's just say i was drawing this like this got us a nice little sketch okay cool man that's a nice little sketch to go off for well now after i do my sketch i like to drop the opacity down by you clicking this in letter letter in and you just slide it to this way then we're gonna hit plus to create a new layer let's go to the color black and what i do my line work with is the ink and go to the ink in section and then you want to go to studio pen now you want to go to technical pen that's what you do your line work with okay now grab your two fingers and you you spread them out to zoom in and you spread them together to zoom back close so now let's uh if you want to make your line smoother while you're drawing all you gotta do is click on to the brush go inside of it go to stable stabilization and you just move your stable up so it'll help you correct your lines as you draw that's if you need help making them more sharp drag this color black and drop it in there to fill it in so let's do the same thing for this side also you guys leave in the comment section or some tutorials you would like me to touch on inside of uh procreate and i'd be more than happy to do it for you guys and now we're just drawing our character out and you see my sketch layer was just used to get a nice little layout and i'm just going back through and i'm cleaning everything up you know what i'm saying it's come right here i can feel that thing i ain't all right here i can feel that thing boom then we're gonna do his hair wait let's do this his uh face let's do the outline of his face real quick but yeah man the sketch is very important anytime you started now with a picture i'm gonna get your sketch right first now let's go ahead draw his line up close his hair also feel this in boom now that we got all this filled in and got our got our line work finished what i like to do is delete the sketch layer and make a copy of the line work duplicated now let me um find us a nice little skin tone and you just drag and drop you know what i'm saying and you see how i left the lips and the eyes plain because we're gonna do the lips and the eyes on another layer so how are we gonna do that we're just gonna make another copy of the line work and we're gonna come right here above it and this is gonna be for the lips and the eyes the lips and the eyes layer find us a nice little color like that a little brighter like that and for the eyes cool cool is good so now what are we gonna do let's create a blank layer let's put it underneath the lip layer with the colors and above the color layer so i'm gonna go down to my color layer and we're gonna click it and go to select make sure this paint bucket is not selected so what what this is doing is making sure whatever we do it don't let us color outside of those lines so now i'm gonna come to my blank my blank page i'm gonna select my color by holding my finger on the color and i'm gonna create a shadow from that that's a nice little shadow and now while i'm on my blank layer we're gonna draw out some shadows make sure we close in these lines off though and fill it in that's how we're doing we're making sure we close every line off so it'd be easier to fill in see what i'm doing coming back and i'm making sure that my shadow layers connect so i don't have any paint bucket issues drag and drop that's all you want to do one more shadow what we going in for the big shadow and this came out pretty dope this all and now there you have it you feel me let's go to create a new layer right underneath the very top layer we just gonna put a shadow right here it's a shadow on this side if you want to be lazy and give it a background i gotta do is select the background color switch it to where you want it to be you feel me let's create one more layer at the very top we're gonna do something for his eyes so i'm still on my technical peer we're just gonna create a space for it like this let me create another little space for it like this select the color white you feel me but you're man i'm just having fun now there you have it man how to use procreate for beginners i appreciate you guys for watching make sure you stay tuned
