Hi, this is Michelle. Today we are going to draw
a cute Christmas tree. Let's get started.
First, we choose black colour and the studio pen under inking to draw a quick draft.
Let’s draw several short lines on the canvas first to determine the proportion of the tiers
of the tree and trunk. Make sure the bottom tier
is higher than the top one. Then draw some triangle shape as the tiers.
Now we’re gonna draw 4 rectangles under the tree as the gift boxes.
And then draw a star shape on top of the tree.
Now let’s draw some wavy lines based on the triangle shape as the branches of the tree.
Then we’re gonna draw the detail of the box. The lid, the base and the ribbon outside.
You can also try to draw some different shapes of the box and the ribbon if you like.
Now let’s do the decoration for our Christmas tree.
We’re gonna draw a few curve lines on each tier as the LED light.
Then we can draw some circle randomly on the tree as the glass balls.
Next, we can draw some stars on tree.
After that, click the move tool to adjust the position and size for the draft a little bit.
You can choose the freeform if you want to change the length to width ratio.
So here I’m gonna increase the width a little bit.
Now let’s create a new layer down below the draft layer.
And tap two finger on the draft layer to change the opacity to around 30%.
Then we can easily draw the final lines based on the draft.
First choose the yellow colour to draw the star.
Then create new layer below and choose the light green to draw the top tier of the tree.
Make sure draw different parts on different layers
which will help you to draw more shadows and textures easily later.
When you paint the tree, you can use darker color for the bottom tier compare with the top one.
Okay then let’s use brown color to draw the trunk below the branches.
You can hold your pen after drawing a line to make it perfect straight.
Now let’s draw the LED light by yellow color in a new layer.
Choose the Monoline brush under Calligraphy. Then tap the brush again to change the setting.
Let’s increase the streamline to max. And increase the spacing
to around 65% until the dotted line comes out. Now we can draw the light really quick and easily.
Now we’re gonna draw the stars with light yellow color.
Next let’s draw the glass ball with yellow color.
Okay now we’re gonna paint the gift boxes. Draw different surfaces of
the box on different layers. And we assume the light comes from the left side.
So make sure the left side color is lighter than the right one.
And don’t forget to draw the ribbons.
After drawing let’s tidy our layers. We can slide the box’s layer to the right slightly.
And then click the group button on the right corner.
And then rename the group as Gift No.1.
Same with the other boxes.
Before we draw the last box, which is white color one.
We can give the background a light green color.
Okay now let’s draw the shadow for our Christmas tree.
Create a new layer on top of the base layer and change it to clipping mask.
Then tap the letter N on the layer to change the blend mode to Multiply.
Choose the same color with the base layer to paint.
And change the brush to Noise Brush under Touchups.
After you update Procreate to new version. You will find out the
Touchups renamed as Materials Now we can paint the shadow on this layer.
So just make sure that the lower right side is darker than the upper left side.
And don’t forget add some shadow for the decorations as well.
And we will use the same method for all the other shadows,
so, I will speed it up here.
Now let’s change the color for the glass ball to make the bottom ones darker than the top ones.
To do that, you can tap on the layer and active the Alpha Lock.
It will allow you to draw within that layer's shape,
which is an easy way to change the color that you already draw.
Now let’s draw the shadow for these glass balls.
Next we’re gonna draw the shadows for all the gift boxes,
which is the same method as the Christmas tree.
Now let’s draw the shadow for the trunk.
Then create a new layer at the bottom to draw the shadow on the ground.
Finally, let’s draw some glow for the LED light and the stars on the tree.
First, we’re gonna duplicate these two layers. Then tap the Gaussian Blur under the Adjustments
Tool. Slide to right to change it to around 5%. Then the glow effect comes out immediately.
Then we are done for the cute Christmas Tree drawing.
