maybe i should try out procreate instead of medibang

[@Meppity]

Jackie M Procreate is my fave app on this planet!

[@pinkygirl1068]

Sorry for disturbing but what is the apps name and if it is bought with money what apps do you offer for drawing

[@Meppity]

Ada Yildiz as mentioned in the description and at 5:10 the app is procreate. It’s a one time purchase of I think $10 and it’s absolutely worth every penny

[@pinkygirl1068]

@@Meppity soooo other than procreate what drawing apps do you offer (I mean free ones)

[@okmentalhammer]

wow can we talk about that dynamic pose colors and like everything ??

Its fantastic!

When I was younger I used to play around with stuff like this and now I have to relearn it all because I started being too clean and stiff.

angel tye SAME I end up perfecting the design way too much

[@viintagevenus]

My line art is way too clean. It looks off putting honestly.

one-one! Same, the sketch looks so good but then the line art is just ew

I love adding noise, otherwise everything looks too “sterile” for my taste. Great vid, very useful for beginner artists 💚

[@purgatorian1616]

##ART TIP## Hi young artist here lol, and I'd like to share that using textures like screen tones, etc. the same way with the last 2 steps(?) as things like shadows and sometimes the flat colors can be a great thing as well! Using screen tone for shadows can help achieve a manga/comic vibe with a piece as long as it's executed well! I've seen people use textures like stars for galaxy representive paintings as blocks of colors or shadows help a ton to show what the piece is trying to present! I do a little thing where I do my shadows in one flat color, usually a dark brown-red (dried blood is the closest description) then I'd clip things like a lighter tone of the color or something with an entirely different hue! I'd then choose any blending setting that suits it, mess with opacity and other settings and voila! It makes a ton of stuff pop which is what I aim for alot! That's all for now lol, hope it helps! From your friendly stranger on KZbin, Baroo

[@ghost-fs7th]

I like that you said dried blood was the closest thing to compare it to... instead of a brick. 😂

1 - 1:42 use cool brushes for lineart and shading 2 - 3:16 overlay with a textured brush 3 - 4:44 add noise 4 - 6:09 add image textures 5 - 8:01 draw your own texture

[@valentism6794]

KZbin's monitoring me. On an aloud brainstorming pace around my room this morning, i said i wanted to add texture to my pieces. What does KZbin give me as soon as i open the app? Hm....my FBI agent wants me to get better at art too huh?

Your art is so beautiful and nice. I want to go to CALARTS when i get older and I've been watching your vids for a while now. And i know this is cheesy, but your art inspires me m8. Keep up the good work and besta luck!!!

I was just drawing with a textured brush that I found when the notification popped up, and now I want to try all the thechnics

[@zuzannaszczypek2874]

I love this so much! I will definitely try the tips on my next drawings! The only thing that hurts my eyes is the first two minutes, zooming in and out so quickly

[@yulirosa2412]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! For the longest time I have tried to figure out how to add texture to my drawings, but it didn't quite click for me, until now. n.n You did a very nice job explaining your methods. Thank you for taking your time to share them with us. :3

[@Isopod_Appreciator]

Oh I love this! I'm still in that really awkward transition stage from traditional to digital so this is really helpful!

[@LumosVeil]

Thank you so much for this video! I have a bad habit of always sticking to my comfort zone since I’ve always just been either too lazy or scared to experiment. I’ve always found texture to be fascinating in digital art and always wanted to find a way to implement in my art style. I’ll be sure to refer back to this video from time to time to help me find my stride in using more textures!

[@beanming]

When I am shading, I smoothen out a little bit the edges so the texture of the brush kinda disappears cause I thought the shadow won't look natural. After watching this video, I realized that I think it will be better if I didn't smoothen it out if since originally I want a textured illustration hehe. Thanks a lot for this video! Certainly learned a lot from this! This will help me improve my artworks!

[@myuchin4341]

U can kind of do the noise technique in traditional drawing. I find that it can look quite similar to what you showcased in the video, when you draw with a colored pencil and gently go over some spots with a wiper. I must say i hate wipers and i usually dont use them but sometimes i like to go back into my colored pencil drawing with them bcs they Make the colour slightly lighter and the vibrancy changes. You should try it

[@TheSuperchunkymonkey]

This video made a world of difference, thank you!

[@hillsophie334]

making your own music for your videos is so incredibly cool omg

[@sugars2070]

I am stealing your style-- Honestly, adding more texture to my art is what I think I need rn. This was extremely helpful

[@kiera_g]

just got an ipad with procreate...learning things just from watching your speedpaints :D

[@SwanCreates]

Wow, thank you. The one I use is using pictures over my image and it's super fun experimenting, now I have other techniques to use 😁

[@florets3616]

thank you so much! my art has been feeling flat for so long, thisll be a great help

[@razzz1474]

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS TUTORIAL MY WHOLE LIFE!!

[@nikozalive]

OMG I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR THE LONGEST TIME AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED A LOT

[@winter.06art]

artist like you automatically need subs very underrated

[@AnxietyRiddenKay-Lee]

I can’t believe you even did the music!!!! Like wow good job

[@Spamhard]

This is so helpful! I just started out with art and don't have much knowldge of the programs. I've been enjoying the look of flats, or just very basic cell shading, but it often just looks way more clean than I want. I'vew been experimenting with different brushes, but still just felt like i wasn't getting enough texture and visual interest even tho the flat colours were what I wanted. Gonna try a bunch of these, the last one seems especially fun to me!

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

I absolutely adore, how with all this texturing, your art looks, like it's straight out of a modern kids book! It's all so crisp and clean, but a little "messy" just enough to feel really aesthetically pleasing. -w-

[@tudibelle]

This was really great, I am an absolute beginner at Procreate, and I found the video inspirational and informative. Thanks.

[@ryanlaseter7626]

I love how you zoom in and show the comparisons, super helpful!

[@ether91333]

Glad to find the noise technique here :) its how i went about texture in photoshop before recently switching to procreate, and wasn’t sure how to achieve it.

[@ansleesmith1104]

I use the photo texture one all the time and LOVE the extra interest it adds to the image overall. I never thought to take my own pictures of different textures around me though, but I'm excited to try that now! Lovely tutorial btw, I will certainly be trying a few of these techniques.

[@louismariepaillart6692]

Thank youuuuuu, that was super helpful I was just asking myself how to add texture in my digital works lol

[@thejackal9834]

Holy shit! That's what I've been looking for and craving in my art! N O I S E ! ! I just felt a wave of euphoria realizing that. Thank you so much!

[@lumiciedal]

my go-to way to jazz up my art is to apply halftone textures overlay onto shading parts. hope this helps!

[@Génesis-h4i]

this is the best texture tutorial I've found, always wondered how people made they're drawing like this, tsym (: i'm gonna put this into practice

[@soggycactus4240]

One of my favorite artist always had the really cool texture on their art and 2 years later in just now figuring out it was noise !

[@bluiwi]

WOW i loved the "add noise" tip, pretty useful and pretty! thank u

[@mitskily8960]

Is it just me or is her voice so calming?

[@sherryannestacion4298]

Can't wait to apply to this to my boring, digital-looking flat art 😅 thanks for sharing!

[@monkeyming5545]

I’m new to procreate and I honestly love the way you color and draw 🥰 🥰

[@GiaArtz]

I was wondering why all my digital art looked so plastic-y. This was super helpful!

[@borgirman4640]

THIS IS SO COOL! You can do so much in digital art, it's crazy

[@ShacysPagelings]

Sorry if this has been answered before: Im curious about when people draw lineless art, do you like seperate all each part of the drawings or draw all of them in one layer???

[@jjju3]

For me it depends on the piece If it's just one figure i prefer to draw the parts (head/neck/arms/torso/hair)etc) seperately but if im drawing like 6 people im just like fuck it and keep each person as one color block before i color, (though I always ad on some linework after the color blocking to make sure you can read it. It might be different if you don't have that luxury in style lmao)

[@isaiah9501]

It really depends in the simplicity and art styles. I've seen multiple artists on Instagram draw them in one layer. But for me a put them in different layers so its more easy to liquify and transform them. Im really not sure with some of my techniques since im like 12 years old and draws on a phone with a finger. I use procreate pocket version on Iphone which has less features and limited layers so i have to work around the system and draw them in different picture or canvas or something

[@j.h170]

I don't usually do line less, but it is better to separate the pieces so you know what goes in what order. It does get a bit confusing sometimes, so make sure to name layers and lock them when you're done with them.

[@requiemforpsyche]

It depends on how the artist personally does it, i usually just do a sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, lower the opacity and start colouring in betwen the two sketch layers, if i think that im going a bit off on the colouring i hide the clean sketch layer and clean it up a bit. And i do occasionally like to separate all the parts

[@StormzAway]

It depends on your own needs, though. If I'm in a Medibang Paint (or any fancy drawing app with unlimited layers) I foldered lineart and colour blocks separately, and the colours are kept in its own layer. The pros is you just clip shading layers to the colour blocks separately without worrying if you messed up, and your lineart is safe in a separate folder. If I'm in MS Paint (and you know it has no layers) I just really have to remember which goes first (like layering in traditional art), and I usually forget.

[@ettiaillustration8118]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your videos are so well made and informative! This tutorial was especially helpful since I’ve been trying to find a way to make my digital art on procreate more “natural” and “textured”

Awesome art, awesome voice, awesome videos. You have been a huge art inspiration for a while now. Thank you! I remember you did this gasmask**-wearing bandito riding a donkey once. The illustration was very red. I tried to copy it over and over and over again. lol. And I cursed the heavens and swore that one day I would be that good. lol. Thank you.

[@danarodz3275]

Wow thanks , the second tip was exactly what I was looking for.

[@guaranteedbyshwarmi]

i was just using these techniques in my own portfolio (thanks for helping me better understand procreate, i just got mine this week!) and was showing the wips to friends for critiques, where more than half were in love with how the texture "elevated it" and i linked your video in every chat as a thank you. hopefully, like how youve now got me as a subscriber, that adds a small uptick to your subscriber count. thank you so much for your awesome tutorial; im really excited to see more and reccomend you more to others ♡♡♡

[@baileemaclay9464]

I will absolutely use these tips for my digital art!Love your videos♥️

[@mag1b003]

I use a phone my finger and Ibistpaint X

[@bruhhelp7396]

I suggest using one of those cheap phone stylists you can get at the dollar store and stuff. you can make good art with a finger but it takes way longer

[@remi6668]

Sameee, I actually learned how to make kinda good art but its haard

[@kyleh7785]

Also on amazon they sell pen styluses that are kind of like an Apple Pencil. If you look up ‘active stylus’ you will find one. They aren’t super expensive but aren’t super cheap either.

[@mimisaur5000]

same bro!

[@terikumo]

My sketch looks nice, while the finished drawing looks bad. _Am I the only one?_

[@mrsl3381]

no that usually happens to me as well XD

[@j.h170]

Haha, I used to be like that. I think it has to do with the way you execute the lineart and colors. If you like your sketch better, you probably prefer textured lineart. Meppity made a whole video about it (which I'm pretty sure you watched) the techniques are great. Also, try doing some color studies, and do mess around and experiment with the options your drawing app offers. Just go wild with it, hope it helps!

This video is so great!!! I am so glad someone finally made a procreate specific vid on texturing, this would have been great when I was starting out but I'm glad others will now have this amazing opportunity! I've been using the "noise" technique ever since I found out about it 2 years ago 😂🙌🏻

Using your own textures is an interesting piece of advice! Thank you)

[@josiec.6259]

thank you so much!! these are all things i didn’t know and will be SO helpful!

[@ghost-fs7th]

Being able to scroll through the layer modes in procreate is AMAZINGGGG. Having to click each one and seeing what they look like and pain-stakingly comparing them is such a hassle. When I'm able to save up money, I'm getting an iPad ASAP. I have a huge $600 tablet, but it's just too large to do anything with, and doesn't function unless it's hooked up to my computer, making it even less accessible. I still draw on it, of course, but it's always a hassle getting it set up. I thought bigger was better... and I was wrong. A tablet the size of a piece of paper is all you really need. Don't make the same mistake as me kids 😢

[@blue_is_burning]

eyy happy anniversary to this video! all your videos are such a fantastic resource and there's no chance i'd be the artist i am today without you as help and inspiration

[@Thoughtspresso]

How about character design? And how to keep your characters looking consistent? Ive been having problems with this issue because whenever I draw my character, while her hair and general style is the same throughout, I could never get her to have the same eyes each time for some reason. Love your work! And this video was extremely helpful.

I almost do 4 of these 5 techniques all the times and I will start to do the last one (textures and colors brushes). I can suggest another one, put a gradient, with multiples colors, at low opacity with a good looking effect.

On technique 2, when you want to have an overlay of the image instead of duplicating all your layers you can just save the image as a png and place it over! Its what I do when I wanna do that same thing~ ty for the video btw

Thank you so much, this was legitimately the best video I watched on tutorials, I usually use little to no flat shading because it supports my style I guess and it’s hard to get some variety in there, especially the one with the noise blew my mind, I’ve been looking for that one so long!! But there was a time when I didn’t know that procreate had a text tool because I watched an old video so I guess you never learn out haha Still thank you though 💕
