- [Karin] Hello and welcome back to my channel.
My name is Karin, I'm here to help you get the most
out of your iPad whether that is with lettering
or art or journaling.
In today's video
I want to show you how you can create this iOS 15 logo.
I absolutely love the colors. I love the marbling effects.
I'm going to show you how to do that.
And then I'm also going to show you
how to make these rounded corners
and this stamp out effect with the letters.
We're going to use the Procreate app for this,
and to start with, we're going to create a new canvas.
And the width of the canvas is going to be 3200 pixels.
And then the height is going to be 1800 pixels.
The brush I'm going to be using for this is going to be my
IPL Wet Marble brush,
which is part of the IPF Marbling brush set.
But you could also use any of the painting brushes that are
already part of Procreate. And so now to start with,
we're just going to put some color on the canvas and you
don't have to be precise at all with this.
You just put the colors on the canvas.
And then here on the right-hand side,
I'm going to add a little bit of white as well.
And now comes the trick for the marbling.
Now we're going to select the Liquify tool.
And to start with,
we're going to have the size set to 40%.
The pressure to max, distortion is none.
And the momentum is maxed as well.
And now this is so much fun.
So now what we're going to do is start making these
scrambled eggs. So with the apple pencil,
you're going to create these little swirls on the page.
And this is what creates this really,
really nice marbling effect.
And then we're also going to use the expand tool and maybe
decrease that brush size a little bit.
And so now we can create some blobs,
which looks really cool as well.
Just hold the Apple Pencil down and you can see now how it
creates this blob.
This is almost like water drops that you can see,
and then you can even decrease the size a little bit
more, make some smaller ones as well. (relaxing music)
Then we can make some here
and then we're going to go back to
the push tool and we're going to increase the size ever so
slightly.
So now we can push around the colors a little bit more on
the screen as well,
just to arrange them and little bit nicer, (relaxing music)
and maybe get rid of some of the parts you might not like so
much. (relaxing music)
And then we're going to make it a bit smaller again and
maybe do some more scrambling. (relaxing upbeat music)
And then I think it looks really good.
And then the next thing I want to do is create the rectangle
here, so we can put the 15 in here.
And the easiest way to do this actually is just create a new
layer and then fill this layer with white.
And now we can resize this layer.
So we're going to select the arrow tool and then you select
Freeform here.
And so now you can bring in
the size
of your rectangle like this,
and then you can tap on one of the corners and now you can
dial in the dimensions super precisely.
So we're going to select 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels.
And now we have the perfect square,
so now we're going to turn on Snapping here,
and then we center this rectangle perfectly in the center
of the page. And so now for that rounded corners,
I'm going to show you another trick.
So we're going to create another new layer and then maybe
change the color just so it's a little bit more visible.
So I'm going to select this yellow,
and then I'm going to select that Monoline brush,
which is part of the calligraphy brush set.
And we're going to use the quick shape tool.
Create a circle
and don't lift up the Apple Pencil until you see the edit
shape button come up. So you tap on the button.
So now we can fill this circle with yellow.
And then what we want to do is align it to our square here.
And we are going to bring it in until it's perfectly aligned
with one of the quadrants of our square.
So now what we're going to do is,
duplicate this three times
until we have four circles,
and now we're going to distribute these circles
in our square.
We're going to use the arrow tool and then we can move
them like this,
and you want to make sure that it's perfectly aligned here
with the edges, but if you have the Snapping tool turned on,
it should happen like this automatically.
So the next thing we need to do is merge all of these layers
together. And then we are going to fill in the shapes here.
We're going to go back to our square layer and tap on
select. And that way we can now fill the shape here.
So now we're going to go back to our yellow layer and now we
can fill in the gaps here and then here as well.
And then we don't need that square anymore,
so we can turn visibility off,
but we want to change the color of our yellow shape to
white.
So we're going to Alpha Lock this and then select white and
tap on fill layer. And so now this is looking pretty good.
The next thing we are going to do is add some text.
So we're going to create another new layer and we're going
to select the Text tool here. We're going to tap, add text,
and then we've just going to write 15.
And then the font I'm going to use for this is
Apple SD Gothic Neo.
It's not exactly the right font.
The font that is being used in the original logo is one of
the Apple fonts,
but I'm not sure about the licensing of the fonts.
So I'm just going to choose one
that's a really impropriate, that looks reasonably similar.
We're going to make this a little bit bigger and then we
need to change the color as well.
So now we're going to make it purple,
just so that we can see what this looks like.
And then we're going to center it here as well.
And it's looking pretty good. So what you can do as well,
if you wanted to,
you could actually outline the text to make it a little bit
thicker so they can choose the outline here.
And then we can fill the gaps.
Now we can fill this
and this one as well.
And then the next thing we want to do is, do that punch
through effect.
So we're going to go back to our Layers panel and select the
layer with the number 15.
So you tap on select and then you're going to tap on the
rounded square layer and select clear.
So now this is going to stamp out the number 15 from this
layer. So now we need to turn this layer off.
Otherwise you can't see it, so you can see now it's purple.
And when we turn this off,
you can see now how the background is coming through.
And this is so cool.
And then the last thing we're going to do is actually blur
out the background a little bit more
because in the original it's all blurry.
And there is two ways of how we can create the blur.
So we're going to go back to the original layer and now you
could use the Smudging Tool
and you could just smudge this out,
but there's actually another way of how to do that as well.
So we're going to select Gaussian Blur,
but instead of using layer, we're going to select pencil.
And now we can actually paint in the Gaussian Blur
exactly where we want it.
And you can see it's got this little magic plus signs around
the brush here, so we tap on the brush.
And I recommend that you use the Gaussian Pen
from the painting set.
And now we can paint in the blur,
exactly where we want it to be.
And then you can increase or decrease the blur
and have it as much or as little blur
as you would like it to be.
And how cool is that? Alright,
now we only have one thing left and that's to create a
little shadow here.
So now we're going to duplicate our rounded square layer.
And we're going to turn on Alpha Lock and then fill the
layer with black and then undo the Alpha Lock so that we can
put a blur on it.
And this time we're going to use the Gaussian Blur,
but we going to use the whole layer blur.
So now we're going to blur it and you want to make it quite
a soft blur. So it's been set to around to 31.5%.
You can see this is a really, really big blur.
Now this is looking really nice.
And so now we are going to ever so slightly move it down
here. And then we are also going to change the Opacity,
there's this really strong blur.
And I would rather have it less strong.
So we're going to,
so we're going to have this very, very subtle like this.
And then, I also want to remove the blur here
from the center. So I'm just going to erase it like this.
And now I think it looks really good.
I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial,
give me a thumbs up if you did.
Subscribe to my channel, if you haven't already.
And then I'm also going to put out another couple of
Procreate tutorials, so you can get some more inspiration
and you can keep learning.
Thank you so much for watching and
I'll see you in my next video.
