    one thing many people forget is that a BIG canvas is important. If it’s too small the inking will never be crisp. 2000x2000 pixels is my minimum.

      this size is so crazy to me since i’ve never had to go this big using my wacom drawing tablet. can i resize the artwork on a different app on my computer and hopefully keep the resolution quality??

    Holy COW! Finally! Someone shows how to make the perfect/neatest lines so it doesn’t look crazy! Every time I move my hand when I’m drawing it squiggles so bad.

      SuperiorStar there are 2 ways to fix this, one way is to enable streamline for your art tool by just pressing on the brush symbol on the upper right corner of procreate screen and method 2 is to just practice

  • @javsama1

    also decrese the start and end stroke taper so the start of the line isnt always very thin and if you have to continue the line will be easier.

    Ah ha ! Makes sense , will try this . Thanks so much , for this tip and demonstration ! Very quick and easy video 💫👌 and before I found this , the “making confident strokes” thing was helping , but when I needed to try and focus on areas and zoom in even if my hand was pretty steady I could see the wiggles lol when zoomed out it’s not noticeable but I’m new to digital medium and procreate and I don’t want to have bad habits like that and want to be sure and satisfied that I’m mastering things with time . Plus when I see other artists demonstrate their line work it’s like super crisp even if they are working quickly so I was like oh heck no there has to be a way I just have to find it and figure it out and practice too lol thanks so much !

    This is a great tutorial. I'm currently using Adobe Illustrator on iPad to do my lineart (because I like resizing with vectors if I need to) and exporting into procreate, but that app is pretty limited so it will be great to start drawing that out in procreate instead.
    Does anybody have any advice on getting a taper towards the end of the stroke? I'm not very good with the brush setups and I don't like my stroke ending without a taper personally.

  • @pesto12601
    @pesto12601 5 років тому +28

    3:50: redo and undo over and over again... this is where a vector program like Concepts REALLY shines.... just select the line you just drew and move, skew or enlarge/decrease as needed to fit your underdrawing... no degradation because it is a vector! Really wish Procreate was a vector app instead of pixel for selecting and adjusting like this!

    • @thiccada
      @thiccada 5 років тому +10

      Vectors have their own issue where they look too clean and unnatural, so I dont think it would be the best option for an illustration application. IMO the best compromise would be to have a vector function that gives you the option for vectors the way photoshop and clip do.

  • @Kimiski
    @Kimiski 5 років тому +1

    So I have only played with Procreate in Apple Stores. I'm trying to determine still if Procreate offers enough for me to get an Ipad Pro over a Wacom MobileStudio Pro. When I was trying to draw in Procreate, it not only did line weight with the pressure sensitivity, but it also (even with the bush/pen at 100% opacity on the slider bar to the left of the screen where you control brush size as well) had variant opacity- the color would be darker the harder I pressed and lighter the lighter I pressed. How do I turn this off for inking, so it only does line weight when outlining drawings like you see in this video? :O

    Question. When I do my artwork, I often scan it from paper. It's a decent size, but at the same time, it's too small to actually get any lineart done, so I'd have to enlarge the whole image.
    However, when I'm done with the lineart, the image is too big and I'd have to resize it again, which can make the lineart look a little bit off. Is there any way around this?

    It is my thinking and perhaps it is not, and I hope those who know correct me;BUT I THINK THAT THE LINES MUST BE MADE ACCORDING TO THE TESTURE OF WHAT WE ARE DRAWING.IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE IRREGULAR EDGE LINES AS THE SKIN OF THE DINOSAURS IS A THICK SKIN AND ROUGH ON SOME SIDES AND SOFT AND SMOOTH ON OTHER SIDES ..I always try to analyze the shapes and components of the models to follow, be it a bird, horse, dinosaurs or people, and as shown by the model then it started.I do not pretend to be exact with the model, but I always try to respect the simple lines to honor what the model showed me. Thanks for such an excellent class.
