- In this video I walk you through an illustration I did of a little astronaut explorer on an alien planet. The entire illustration was done on the iPad Pro in the Procreate app. Follow along as I share my illustration process, as well as some helpful Procreate and color tips as well.

If you are curious about which brushes I used in this video, I used brushes from a few different packs. BUT, I mainly used these brushes www.retrosupply.co/collections/procreate-brushes/products/the-mid-century-procreate-brush-pack. Thanks for watching y'all!
You're one of the most approachable, personable, and inclusive professionals I've found. Awesome video!
Tom Hart so kind of you my friend. Thank you for this 😊
I really liked that you explained not only how Procreate works but the logic behind the illustration. Keep up the good work!
Just got the new iPad Air with procreate and figuring out digital art... got to say I find your channel one of the most helpful ones! Feels meer accessible and doable to me with still really good art as a result.
Always dig your vids. Thanks, man!
What a great tutorial. Just purchased the brushes. Thanks a lot!
WoW! Super cool! Super informative! Thank you!
What a great illustration! And the video was very helpful thank you!
This was amazing and super helpful. Thank you
Thank you for sharing. This is very informative. I learned something new today that I didn't learn from watching other tutorials - the alpha lock-fill layer on the outlines. That is very helpful because I was wondering what to do or how to deal with the outlines :D
Great content. Very approachable and inspiring. Cheers!
Wow!!!! Incredibly awesome dude
Lovely stuff!
Hey Brad Really great video thanks
Cool tips thankyou
Looks great man
Love the workflow. Thanks man!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful. I’m relatively new to Procreate and am learning to illustrate for a children’s book I am writing. This was very detailed and helpful!
Glad you found it helpful! Best of luck on your book! That’s exciting
I hope I could someday save up for an iPad for this Procreate app! It’s really exciting !
Very helpful video!! Want to share what i'm working on rn~
I like your personality. And you made this superrrr easy to understand. Thank you!
Hey thanks! Glad it was helpful!
This was sooooo good! I just bought the materials to get started - you were so helpful!
That makes me so happy! Thank you!
Can you please share the settings you use to get such a quality illustration? Like the dimensions of the canvas and the color profile.
Thanks. But how to do this when you have only 6 layers working on high pixel levels
This is excellent! How do you get such smooth crisp lines? I'm new to digital drawing and my lines look shakey and pathetic.
What kind of pencil/pen are you using there? Is it the apple pencil with a rubber cover?
Sweet video. Entertaining and informative. Can you link to the brushes used, please? Just got an iPad Pro and I’m looking too mess around in Procreate.
Of course! Though I used brushes from a bunch of different packs. Most of them were from my own pack here! www.retrosupply.co/collections/procreate-brushes/products/the-mid-century-procreate-brush-pack. Thanks for watching!
Hey 🙂 is it possible to change a color after you have used it in the drawing. Like in Adobe illustrator.
Yeah there are a few different ways actually. But the way you are talking about is probably alpha lock layer you want to change color on > fill layer or paint by hand
I feel like this might be a silly question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway! :) If you were doing illustrations for a picture book, would you then use the same color palette for all of the pictures and try to stick to the same set of colors throughout? If so, would you broaden the palette at all from what you used here, for instance, or would this be a good group of colors to carry through?
That’s a great question! I’m sure for different illustrators the answers would vary, but for me, I would try to make all the colors feel cohesive in some way. I’d pick my core 4-5 colors and expand from there. You can add a lot of colors that are close as long as the main colors are basically the same I feel. There are other tips I use to make them all gel in another video about 5 color tips :)
@@BravetheWoods Thank you so much!
what size canvas & dpi do you use for your designs
Size of canvas differs per project. But general rule is make the canvas bigger than you need ha. Better too big than too small when making raster artwork. If I’m printing I like to keep my dpi at 300
What if I’m working on an iPad 10.2” 8th generation? And I can’t get as many layers? I’m only a hobbyist with my art as well, not doing prints or selling work right now, just posting to social media. How many pixels or how big of a canvas do I use to where it looks good when I post it but also gives me a lot of layers?
Thanks for reaching out! Not sure if I have an exact answer for you but I’ve found when posting online I prefer saving my images between 1000 - 1200 pixels. If it is bold and graphic maybe down to 800px. But test it out and see how many layers you get. Then save and see if you are good with the size on screen. Best of luck!
@@BravetheWoods Okay, thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate it. I just want to make sure my drawings look nice and clear when posting while also having enough layers to work with. I’m brand new to digital art and I’m not tech savvy lol. So would 25 layers be sufficient for a pretty detailed piece? That’s when I put my pixels at 3,000x3,000. And you’re saying that I can post my work around 1,000-1,200 pixels and it will look clean? What about the dpi? What should that be set at when posting to social? Sorry for all the questions, I’m just trying to fully understand. Me not having this knowledge of what I should put my canvas settings at has hindered me a bit from drawing an actual piece because I get anxious about what the settings should be ☹️ I know that kind of sounds nuts lol
@@brittneyann2639 For Procreate’s demands, just put in 72 dpi. Dpi is irrelevant for the web. Dpi is for print. It’s your canvas size/dimensions and image compression that matters. 1,000+ px dimensions should suffice for any social media.
@@sadepennbrook Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. I actually upgraded to a iPad Pro 2020 so not having the layer problem anymore. I could have made good art on the reg ipad but didn't want to stress about it, so i just upgraded. Thank you again.
What is this specific type of illustration called?
I really don’t know ha
Would this kind of illustration not be easier in vectors, at least for the shapes?
Totally! And a lot of time I do the main shapes in Ai and finish it off in Psd. But I really enjoy the process of drawing it all in one place. Feel less manufactured in a way. Even though it doesn't it make it any less special. I just like the process of drawing with a pencil I guess ha.

Love this - but I'm so confused by the two sketches, the dark line version of it which you're also calling a sketch and then all the layers of the already coloured in versions. I wish you had this as a total step by step tutorial from the beginning because I'm really struggling to see how you got from the sketch to the 50+ coloured in layers. :(
Thanks for the note! This video is more of a quick breakdown of the different stages I go through in making an illustration like this, with some tips sprinkled in each. Didn't want this to be a 2 hour long video. BUT, maybe I should do live drawing session sometime and you can see the entire process? Could be fun :)
@@BravetheWoods - that would be fab! Would love to see the full process. :)
@@trvlr002 also wanted to note that he has a way more detailed version of his process on Domestika!
I'm just researching at the moment as I'd love to try out digital illustration as my ultimate goal is to illustrate a children's book one day. Your video taught me so much in such a short space of time thank you!
Amazing! So happy it helped. Good luck with everything!
