Let me know in the comments what you would like to see covered in upcoming episodes...you might see your idea come to life!
I really appreciate that you show us that you erase a lot until you’re happy. Most people just can do it in one go and I thought I was weird for redoing lines constantly. You are so easy to follow along with, thanks!!
I constantly undo/redo lines and am not afraid to show it, lol! Thanks for watching and appreciating that fact!
Caitlin Rose Riiight? Like Gal Shir. Makes me feel bad for not getting lines right the first go.
Anyone who says they get em perfect first time is full of poo poo lol
But when you do get it on the first go it like a party 🥳
That is a breath of fresh air. I see too many heavily edited tutorials that do not show the real process of drawing. You are dead on Caitlin!
Would be really helpful if you showed how you set up your brushes to get those nice lines.
He has a video on this!!! It’s awesome!
@@martialartsonthemove-westc7515 what is it called
Yeah I can't find this video either what the name of its
ua-cam.com/video/hzO6_bSZR4w/v-deo.html
I didn't know about that reference layer - that sort of changes everything
THANKS!
It is a super helpful tool- glad I could help!!!
What does the reference layer do?
same
You can set your highlight and shadow layers to "clipping mask" so it technically can't go out of the layer beneath it
Yup...sure enough! I touched on this is one of my newer videos and why I don't use it in often in the videos. I have found people skip around/don't watch the whole video so if they don't see me set up the layer, they get confused and then ask questions on how I was able to do that. I would love if everyone watched from start to finish but it doesn't happen, lol!
Shadowing opacity technique...GENIUS! Thanks man!
Hahaha! Thanks...glad I could help!
I like how he does tutorials. It’s like a free art class
I love the procreate two finger tap erase. The only problem I have with it is when I draw on paper I get annoyed that tapping the paper doesn’t work before I remember I need to use an actual eraser.
You’re now my teacher, thank you kind sir.
That works! Glad to have you as a student!
Hey senior! I am the new student here! Hahah
The way I make the outlines while staying in Procreate, is by using a very small amount of Gaussian blur on the layer with the white filled image. Duplicate that layer a couple of times, merge them down (they become thicker and more pronounced) and repeat that a couple of times. The smaller the Gaussian blur the crisper the result, but you have to make more duplicates.
I know a lot of people that do this but it just doesn’t give that crisp line work that I am used to.
Just got myself an iPad Air 5 a few days ago and tried to start drawing without any experience or talent. After a few days and some tutorials, I was really upset because I was not getting the results I wanted. Just watched your full video and applied everything you said here. One hour later, my designs already look a lot better. You're a legend!! Thank you!
I love it! I clicked on this video for the line information, but you answered two bigger questions / problems I was having. The "reference" setting and the "streamlining". Thank You!
Amazing tutorial! I found it really easy to follow.. I appreciate that you filmed your natural flow and didn't edit
I just started drawing with procreate and this was so easy to follow and understand! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to help!!!
It took me 8 months to find you since I started drawing .... I broke the web to find a decent tutorial on how to draw in this modern style . You made my day thank you
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!!!!
I learned that having the outline on one mask and alpha locking it, I could change the line color by painting over them. It doesn't let the color bleed to the other layers
That "Clear" technique between layers is amazing.
Clear technique is not working in my art.
I LOVE ALL OF THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS STUFF IN THE BACKGROUND
Just found this tutorial! Amazing - under 15 minutes you saved me days if not weeks of work. I installed procreate few weeks ago to create complex illustrations for my book and now learning it at the pace of 1-2 hours a day after work. The reference layer you mentioned and your method of creating shadows using black layer is a treasure! I will now go browse all your other tutorials to see what other hidden treasure are there :) The ones I am looking for in particular are:
1. Layer modes: multiply, difference, burn etc. So far tutorials from other people confused me even more!
2. Layer grouping but without merging
3. Perspective tool to create scenes and larger characters, e.g. to plan location/size of eyes, paws, etc.
Thank you again for an amazing tutorial!!!!
the reference layer just blew my mind
To get a white outline use the white layer you used to warp but instead just make it bigger and centre it. Perfect.
That was my first thought too!
There is an app called SketchClub. If you save your main graphic in Procreate as a PNG, you can then import it into SketchClub. This app has a “selection tool” that you can select the graphic with. If you do the “duplicate” trick you used here you can select that layer and then expand the selection to make a border area. I throw a light blur on the outline layer to soften the edges a bit as the “selection tool” is pixel perfect and too sharp. Great video and your art is Damn! man! Good stuff
Nick Massetti I’ll have to check that one out!
What brush you using ? Standard one in the program or created yourself? Great stuff dude
what brushes are you using for the sketch portion and the final outline portion? sorry if you mentioned it in the video
Your vid is supper informative. I feel like i just took a master class in Procreate. Definitely feeling more confident in using it.
That's awesome to hear! Glad the video helped!!!
what brush are you using for the outline?
Just a tip Bro, regarding the Eraser Streamline comment you had made. I too hate it when small things like that are affected. So, I make a few Duplicates of Brushes I prefer to Erase with, I put them in a category of their own (Marked “ERASER BRUSHES”). I then adjust each brush to how I want it to perform. So when they’re Duplicated, the “Streamline” option will no longer be invoked when the same brushes are tweaked. Your eraser brushes are essentially left alone. Hope this helps
U make it look so easy
You showed how to select one layer, then move to another layer and clear the second layer of any overlapping pixels. I've been manually erasing to remove those extra pixels. This is much faster and will save me so much time as the designs I do very often require that technique. Thanks!
I didn’t see where he mentioned what brushes he was using. That’s why I’m trying to find out to begin my own sketches. I’m trying to outline machinery from a photo, and don’t like the “sketching” pencils, I’m looking for a solid line to use in a brush. Ty in advance for any advice!
Great drawing ability, to the video maker!!
You have just discovered a world for me, I can finally make drawings without a line and it doesn't look like someone has bitten it, THANK YOU! greetings from Spain
Another way you can make a border outline for any of your drawings is by duplicating the later that has the shape you want to outline, fill it until it’s one solid white (or whatever outline color you want) silhouette, applying a small amount of Gaussian blur on it, duplicate and merge the layers until it starts to thicken up, using the auto selection tool and drag up the tolerance so it gets rid of all the fuzzy edges, and voila! Your new outline! I discovered this a while back and it always surprises me when I hear others who don’t know this technique XD. I also made a video on it on my channel.
It’s not so much “not knowing” that technique- it’s the fact that Procreate’s selection tool is pretty piss poor and doing this results in a line that’s not super smooth (and doesn’t look good if you are planning on printing.)
Let's Draw with BeeJayDeL ahhh, I see. That is pretty true
Really informative video! Thanks, just curious as to which brush do you use to do the outline?
What brushes does he use ?
“Frankenstein’s..... monster”
Me: Instant Respect. *Subscribes*
Frankenstein.... WAS the monster.
@@TheAndersDanilet but frankenstein was also the Dude who made the Monster
Video is amazing and techniques! Thank you for your video in real time without the crazy sped up versions I see on UA-cam. This is the way to make a video with explanations and actually speaking and showing and I really appreciate you for taking the time to do this a learned a lot and subscribed 😊
Awesome...thanks so much! I really strive to show everything in "real time" with explanations because I think it is so much more conducive to learning the techniques! My videos might run a bit longer than the usual UA-cam "tutorials" but there is a reason for that...I want everyone to learn as much as possible! Thanks for noticing!
Used to draw - hard to admit that I used to draw.
;D
I have the same hoody XD
get back at it homie, it's only your decision.
Used to paint
Hard to admit that I used to paint
Natural light on a human face
Stenciled fire on his roommate's bass
It was blooming addiction
Amiss in the pushing of pigment
Book like a tattooed pigskin, look
Pinhead kids of the minute
Drank Kool-Aid from a tube of acrylic
And it grew up into linseed oil over linen
Joy to the poison, voice of the resin
Capture a map of the gesture
Back up, add a little accurate fat to the figure :)
Great video and thanks! Also mad props for the Aesop Rock hoody & Nightmare art.
🤘🤘🤘
Have my 12.9” on the way. didn’t even think about how easy sketching would be and having no erase marks or faint old lines. I am so excited to get drawing again. For a while I was doing pen tool on illustrator and i felt pretty limited.
For the stroke issue, you can always copy the entire illustration into a new layer, resize it a bit bigger putting the layer underneath and then going to adjustments: hue, colour, saturation and changing the entire image to whatever colour you want the stroke to be, or just alpha locking the layer and painting the it in
Nope...addressed this so many times in the comments on this video I’ve lost count.
Very helpful. Thank you
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!
Still new to procreate- you just showed me a few tips that are gonna save me massive headaches! Thank you!
This video is so satisfying. You’re an amazing artist
I like your program and how you teach, so I came back to your videos to find out more of how to ink in the illustration. So you don’t have colour bleed.
This was an AMAZING tutorial! I learned so much in that small amount of time! Have you done a tutorial on the next stage in this process (formatting the drawing file for print on tshirts)? What does that look like in procreate?
I just finally purchased a iPad pro to learn how to use procreate and you make everything look easy and fluent. I'm gonna have to play around a bit it seems lol I'm not good with the shading ir shadows with the light you where putting lol
Keep practicing...it gets easier! Thanks for watching!
For me, it depends on the mood of the artwork I'm doing! Right now, I've been doing a lot of fall themed art, so I make my lines layer in a very dark red, duplicate it, then take one lineart layer and apply a gaussian blur to it and it looks soft!
Wow! You are an AMAZING artist!!!
I hate that I’m starting so late in the game but I gotta start somewhere.... I guess my 30’s is better than starting in my 60’s? 🤔
Love watching your vids!
I’m just gonna pretend I’m a good artist and watch you!!! 😉👍
Thanks so much! Never too late to start!!!
dude, you're young!! I'm 47
very well explained video. Thank You
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Great video, I learned a lot of tricks. I’m two days in on the program and this video was really informative 👊🏾🙏🏾
Awesome. Please do one on shadows highlights where to place. Thanks.
You decide which angle the light is coming from, then you simply paint in the light - the shadows are usually opposite to the light for the most part. If the sunlight is behind you, your shadow is in front and so on.
i would watch the light source video🤩
Check out the shadows/highlights video on my channel (has a turkey as the thumbnail!)
Thanks for the superb tuts
You are welcome...thanks for watching!!!!
Wow I learned so much thanks
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!
I’m so glad I found this video! This is the exact style I’m trying to achieve with my drawings. Also a huge fan of the creepy cute art 🙌🏻
Awesome! Glad you found the channel too!
You sir are hero of the decade! Thanks for this.
This is gonna help me a lot cuz I was planning on getting Procreate ty
Procreate is awesome...you’re going to love it!!!
Watching you draw is so satisfying
If it’s still hassling you to have the settings stick when switching between drawing and erasing, maybe just duplicate your brush and add “eraser” to the name. Then you can draw with “Natural Inker,” but erase with “Natural Inker eraser,” and anything you adjust to one won’t affect the other.
Is Natural Inker a brush in procreate?
@@karinabaez3553 did you ever find it?
A whole heap of techniques and ways to use procreate. Thanks for the inspiration and help.
Awesome!! Great job .. God bless you.!! I will show this video to my son who loves drawing, greetings from Dallas, Tx....🤠
Glad you enjoyed the video and hope your son finds it helpful as well!!!
Here i am, a year later.. trying to learn as much as i can and thanks to the universe i found your channel.
Glad to help!!!
I’ve come back to this video several times to help me with things like this. Super informative my man and it helped me out a lot!🙏🙏
Subscribed for sure👍🏻👍🏻
Great to hear and glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
That shadow layer tip alone is so helpful, thank you!!
You’re a treasure! Thank you for the amazingly clear information! 😊✨
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!
I'm new to procreate and coming from hand drawing it's weird but man I tell you I learned a lot from this
Great tutorial and process demo. As a beginner in Procreate, I really appreciate the straightforward, clear presentation of info. Earned my subscription.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
quick and easy, appreciate the tutorial. procreate is sooooo much easier than illustrator
Instead of warp, have you tried Gaussian blur and recoloring that?
Blurred edge is not the desired effect so no....doesn’t work
The undo function with the two finger tap has gotten to me so bad that sometimes when I'm sketching on traditional I catch myself doing it lol. Thanks for sharing this!, it's super helpful :)
Nice tutorial...reminds me of my old Santa Cruz Skate designs (Rob, Natas...)!
You can also use a monogram brush and not have think & thin spots in your white lines.
Thank you for posting this. I'm fairly new to Procreate, but I absolutely love it. This was very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you watching and glad to help!!!
Thank you so much. You’re a great teacher. ❤️
I love when I watch a video and learn something new. I didn't know about the reference feature when doing line work. This will make things so much easier! thanks
This was unbelievably helpful… just started drawing on Procreate & now I feel less stressed out
You change the opacity quicker If you click the n on the layer you want to change
Yup....Procreate has lots of shortcuts- I've even done a video on them!
Thanks for the great tutorial vid. I learned a lot. My favorite part was making the line art layer the reference layer. It made coloring easier.
I just noticed in the last technique where you let the background do the lining, we lost the white highlights. But overall, i love this tutorial vid. 😊
I Juss started n this tutorial make so much sense ngl💯love this 🔥
Your Awesomehood knows no bounds! Thanks
this is the easiest thank you for being here👍👍👍👍
Man I learned so much about how to use Procreate
Thanks 🙏
Awesome! Thanks!
I finally started using Procreate. THIS is exactly what I’ve been looking for...how to digitally line draw. Love your work!!
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
I’m new to procreate. This video helped tremendously - thanks! 🙌
Great to hear! Appreciate you watching!
Coop, Robert Williams , comes to mind looking at your style. I'm am a new fan of your work, learning a lot
Thanks man! I’m a huge Coop fan so that means a lot!
You have no idea how much this video helped me. 🙏
Aesop Rock sweatshirt got an immediate like 🙏
Very informative
Thanks!!!
oh man thanks for that info about the streamline
For sure! It comes in handy!
well done, I’m really enjoying your tutorial, Thank you!
Really helpful! Great video 🧨🧨🧨
Very useful video! One question: On the layer where you create the white outline and warp it outside of the top layer - why not use a uniform transform of the white layer and just increase the size, allowing you to keep the outline clean and width consistent?
Have had a lot of people leave this same comment...on a design with a bunch of curves , this doesn't work- does not give a uniform spacing/stroke. Try it and see what I am talking about!
Hey BeeJay, I really enjoyed the tutorial...I'm really new to drawing with the iPad, but, I'm looking forward to learning. I noticed that you didn't have a screen cover on your iPad, or maybe I couldn't see it? If not, doesn't really slide a lot? I'm thinking about getting a screen protector but I was wondering if you would suggest some that would be good? Great tutorial tho...learned a lot, in short time, thanks!
I do use a screen protector. It's a matte one (there is a link in the video description.)
just got recommended this video, thank you! Also love the Aesop Rock sweatshirt, now I know I'm listening to someone credible!

earned a sub with the aesop rock hoodie...
I do like your videos BeeJay, what I kind of get tired of and I dont mind once in awhile, I know you have to make a living but I get ready to draw then comes the "and you can buy this palette or brush in the link below," I like when you say "and you can use everything from procreate".
Dude I just got an iPad Air w/the Generation 1 Apple Pencil & ur channel by far is the best one I have come across. I got the procreate app as well & idk if I’ve got the touch-erase feature that ur using but needless 2 say *I’m subscribed* #StayUpBigBruh ☮️🎨&💜
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!!!
Let's Draw with BeeJayDeL I foresee ur channel saving me time bumbling around trying to figure out procreate on my own *bless up brother* ☮️🎨💜
Hi, great tut. There is an easy way to outline with Procreate (though it’s not obvious at first). Flatten out what you want to outline, duplicate that layer, perform a Gaussian blur on the lower of the two layers (as thick as you want the outline) and finally set that layer to be a reference and fill a brand new layer (which will only fill where the blur is on your reference). There might be an easier way to fill, but I’ve found this to be the easiest. Hope this helps someone.
MrScurvyDog Thanks! Had to try this to see if I was missing something...looks like that method still leaves a bit of a blur though (even after filling?) Looking to get a hard edge stroke and not getting it from your method or am I doing it wrong?
Hi, thanks for the reply. This works for me every time, but I suck at explaining.
Try this - hopefully it’s better explained.
1 Duplicate the layer of what you want to outline.
2 on the lower layer add a gaussian blur to suit - a few percent is normally enough.
3 you now need to fill this layer, but (as you mentioned) there is feathering on this due to the blur. So I first make the blurred layer a “Reference” layer.
4 then create one last layer and colour drop into it. (This should fill everything that even is slightly blurred on the reference layer).
5 delete the reference layer
This method can leave the “outline” layer without any anti-aliasing, so it can look harsh close up, but a tiny amount of Gaussian blur can fill in the gaps.
Although there are a few steps to this method, it really is simple and takes maybe 10 seconds to get fairly good results.
Thanks for doing these tut’s, you have a great talent.
Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Clicked on this because of the hoodie. Good video
👍👍👍
My guy, you get an automatic sub just for that Aesop Rock hoodie! ❤
Great tutorial!
Just bought this brush pack and I LOVE IT.. have been searching for brushes exactly like this pack. Thank you!
Which pack is it?
