Procreate is really a very good painting software. It's an iPad version of PS, which is quite powerful. It is easy to learn how to use the functions inside, but the difficulty lies in how to use the brush. There are many brushes in it, but the more brushes netizens make, the more powerful their brushes are. The key is to know how to use these brushes, but you can't use them, and no amount of brushes can draw good results.
Besides the brush, your painting skills and your imagination are more important. In fact, we should watch more videos shared by netizens in the early stage. There are many miles and miles, so we don't need to buy videos to teach painting. It feels like a free video shared by netizens. The key is to practice more, observe more, and see more netizens who draw well.
With iPad Air? The stylus is pogo connect2, and the software is of course fertility. Operation method:
1, make a draft first. The purpose of this step is to quickly draw the position and approximate proportion of people in the picture. Do it quickly with a pencil or Gou Xianbi brush. This link does not need details, but it needs to correct the proportion and posture of the characters, so as to ensure the smooth hook step. In the process of drawing mistakes, you can directly undo the operation or erase it with an eraser. Don't stroke repeatedly.
2. Confirm the draft line. Create a new hook layer and put it under the draft layer. Then reduce the transparency of the draft layer and patiently mark the draft layer on the hook layer. Another method is to erase the miscellaneous lines on the draft layer with an eraser. It is not recommended for friends with messy line drafts to do so. You'd better re-tick the line if you have time to wipe it.
Go on with the tick marks. It is necessary to thicken the outline of the characters and the lines of some structural points to produce realistic effects, so that the three-dimensional sense will come out. Finally, paint your hair black and add some cables unique to American comics to depict the shadows. In this way, the whole line draft will be black and white, and the level will be opened. (Actually, the script is also quite good. )
3. Background color. First, use the layer lock or the selection tool to select the outline of the whole person. Then quickly brush out orange and blue warm and cold tones with a pen within the scope of people's area. Generally, it is warm in the bright part and cool in the dark part. This step can be adjusted quickly and the big effect will come out.
4. Add details. At this time, you can add the inherent color and light-shade relationship to the face, hair, clothes and other parts. Pay attention to keep a part of the background color on the front, which will be more stereoscopic with the cold and warm ambient light on the edge of the character.
Another skill to deal with the relationship between light and shade is to create a new layer, fill it with all black with 50% transparency, and choose "positive overlay" (positive overlay) as the layer style. Then, on the new layer, you can easily adjust the relationship between light and shade, draw bright parts with a brush, draw dark parts with black, and use gray transition.
The advantage of this technique is that the whole coloring process does not need to consider color, but only the relationship between light and shade. When you paint in this way, you will find that although the light and shade are rich, the overall brightness becomes dark. Don't be afraid, we have one last step.
5. Closing the door late. After painting the main body, if you are too lazy to draw the background, you can draw a background color like me. Then use Procreate's curve tool to adjust the color of the whole picture. This will make the overall color bright and bright soon. Or there is a more lazy way, that is, export the picture and polish it with snapspeed or any app with filters and blur effects (this need not be taught). Finally, add your signature and you're done!
