Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto, and today we will do this drawing of a waterscape with a reflection
on the iPad using the program Procreate.
To begin with the plus sign on the top right
we create a screen size document
and for the background, we select a bluish-gray.
We pick up an HB pencil brush, which is in the sketching menu
and with a dark gray, almost black we can begin sketching.
This is on a different layer than the color of the background.
Let's do a horizon line in a mountain coming down, like so.
Now the woman from the back
and we begin with the head,
the shape of the hair,
we can erase what is behind her,
then we draw the shoulders,
her arms and the back.
Very sketchy
I will activate the grid
which is under canvas in the settings button,
which is on the left of the top menu bar,
to draw this line of the bottom of the mountain a little bit more straight
and we deactivate the grid.
Good!
And now let's crop the canvas
for a better framing of it, I think.
Yes that's definitely better!
Let's clean up the mountain and move it slightly.
On a new layer and with the soft brush,
let's give a tone to the sea.
Like so.
We make a new layer and paint the sky, and then the mountain.
I would like to invite you to follow my accounts on Twitter and Instagram @artistleonardo
I hope to see you there.
We make another layer
and with a very bright yellow, we paint a light reflection on the sea.
As you see we make some out-of-focus dots,
which can be produced with the same brush.
And we should make this glare come up a bit.
And we add some a little darker reflections.
I'll make a new layer and place it just below the reflection,
and on it let's darken the area around it.
That will make it look even more bright
and we can add more reflections still.
We create a new layer to start working on the figure.
The reason I make so many layers, of course, is that later if I want to correct something
I can easily do it
or take it out completely
without affecting the rest of the work,
which is a great advantage of digital drawing.
Now we do an under painting for the figure,
which is almost flat, and maybe the orange I chose is way too bright!
On it, we can draw some shades.
This figure is going to be illuminated with backlight,
so practically all her back will be in shade.
I create yet another layer for the shirt
and do the darker shadows of it first, and then a bit of a lighter color.
We go back to the layer of the skin to make some corrections
I think the back should be a little thinner.
I want to make some bluish reflections on the arms
and a little bit on the back maybe, to integrate her to the scene.
And let's give her bright reflections on her shoulders.
Her skin still looks way too orange, so we go to the layer,
press on the "n" and then select hue and saturation...
and correct that a bit.
Lower in the saturation, especially.
Now I erase and lower the top of the head, because I think it was way too tall
and we shade it,
we shade the hair.
And let's paint also lighter tones to create some volume.
I will switch to a hard blend brush,
to integrate it a bit better.
This brush blends really well!
and we should draw some darker darks, as well.
I'll erase a little bit more and give a better shape to the top of the head.
And now we should create lights by the silhouette, at the edges of the hair.
And also of the shoulders, especially the left one
since the light is coming from that side.
I want to add some more blue touches to the back,
again to integrate it, to the scene.
And if you made it all the way to this point, I would love to know it!
please in the comments write me the secret code:
"Facing the light".
and it's ready!
