START HERE with Digital Art | Step by step Tutorial

[@michaliomdin5262]

FINALLY!! THE TYPE OF TUTORIAL I HAVE BEEN SEEKING FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS!! explaining WHAT brushes to use, what layers and when to make another layer, explaining when to use special affects on layers, the shadowing everything is amazing. Even tho its a genuine first step drawing its an amazing tutorial and i hope there will be more like that, bc i never understand what the artists do in their tutorials, they don't really explain the brushes they use etc. You did an amzing job i already feel more confident

[@RinkaDemiseDoDoCopa]

I've tried so many other art tutorials and none of them work for me until i found this one, you literally explained everything i wanted to know and now i can ACTUALLY DRAWW

[@fjordwind]

Very happy to read your comment and I‘m super glad it helped you ! :)

[@punnu5997]

for the first time I have seen a comprehensive tutorial of digital art for beginners, while drawing something simple and beautiful. this is amazing, thank you!

[@fjordwind]

thank you so much for your comment !

[@paulinak8124]

I've been watching many tutorials but this one makes me feel comfortable with layers, masks and all the workflow. Thank you!

[@fjordwind]

Very welcome ! Glad you like it Paulina 🤗

[@tangleduniverse5042]

Same!!!

[@kristikafader3268]

This was such a great video! I was able to follow along easily, and because you provided the traceable pattern, I was able to get a feel for the layering and tools without stressing about how poor I think my line work is. This gave me a big confidence boost! Thank you!

[@fjordwind]

I'm so glad it helped ! its exactly what i intended wit the pattern !!

[@ladcroft8182]

I've never tried digital art before and got a tablet to learn. This tutorial was absolutely perfect in helping me understand the basics, thank you so much.

[@libraschld]

As a beginner absolutely loved the way you taught this. Helped me learn principles for shadow in an easy manner at the same time as teaching me how the program worked. Hope you create more. I loved the way your tutorial gave me the confidence to replicate the effects on some of my own sketches. Thank you

[@carlopelser9837]

I had so much fun drawing along to this, always wanted to draw/paint digitally and always struggled. This helped me loosen up a little 😊

[@caitlingee]

This is the best character creation tutorial I’ve done as a newbie to art. I learned a lot, thank you!

[@saltyshes]

Your explanation on layers and all other tools was really helpful. I’m a total newbie, I’ve never been good at drawing but since I’ve an ipad I thought „why not try?”. I’m still so confused about procreate and all the options but you definitely explained the basics so thank you for all the tips!

[@emmaaguila5000]

Honestly I was so afraid of tracing because of how much some people criticize it but I did learn a lot from this exercise, thank you so much for this tutorial!! ❤

[@fjordwind]

so happy to help !🤗

[@Frostedviolet]

I thought this was great ! Gave me a better understand of what my layers do and what functions layers can have! Thank you !!

[@Al-Muslim369]

it is one of the best tutorial layers have been explained best than any else video

[@shelbylouise7172]

As someone who’s struggled to understand the software by just having a play with it… I’ve found this super helpful thank you! I think tracing is a great way to skip some steps for beginners to get used to the software. Nothing worse than spending ages on something and it not working out

[@fjordwind]

Glad to read this has helped you out 😊 and I think so too !

[@TheBlackCrayon77]

This is a wonderful example of the younger generation teaching someone older like me something really useful. I have been painting and drawing traditionally my entire life. I was recently turned on to digital art as a way to help me speed up my design stage of my paintings and art in general. Only when I got my first drawing tablet, I knew nothing about how to use it. So Many videos on KZbin are great and mean well, only they are either too difficult or not specific to beginners. So I'd like to say thank you young lady. An expertly done lesson with very clear steps, and a realistic place to start for anyone trying art on a tablet.

[@fjordwind]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the tutorial was helpful for you, especially as you transition into digital art. It's wonderful to see generations come together to share and learn from each other's experiences!

[@amir78989]

Omg i actually know how yo draw with color now. Thank you so much.

[@fjordwind]

Welcome 😊

[@JoeyDelPilar]

I love this tutorial. It would be lovely if you have more of this in a playlist

[@Stellar_Drift]

I've been wanting to try my hand at digital art for some years now, and I have finally taken the plunge and got an iPad. I just came across your channel yesterday, your videos are invaluable and definitely easy to follow. Thank you ❤️

[@fjordwind]

I‘m so glad my videos could help you ! Thanks for your lovely comment ! ♥️

[@asteriiee_]

I apologise if this question has already been answered but you stated there were literally jobs out there that people would pay others to colour in their work? Does anyone have any more info on that? Google isn’t much help😂

[@pearl1122]

Ive been having so many toubles with layers never knowing how to handle them... thank you so much for this BRILLIANT insight.

[@Enzykizilie]

one of the best tutorials out there. thanks for going through everythign step by step. I finally get a feel for it thanks to you ^^

[@fjordwind]

So happy to read this 🤗♥️ !!!

[@silverlanswoodworking]

i just want to say as a noob at drawing on a tablet and in general this helped me learn soo much. i use infinite painter and your procreate tutorial helped me learn when to clip and alpha lock. you cover all the basics and i love how you explain it all. keep up the great work.

[@fjordwind]

sorry for this late reply - but thank you so much for this ! makes me happy to read you could follow in infinite painter too ! (:

[@zeeniesummers3639]

You are amazing! Thanks for showing us and teaching. Something must be said for learning by copying and tracing without dismissing all other learning techniques which focuses on muscle memory, proportions and anatomy. A beginner has got to start somewhere. Even Walt Disney in his early days had to build an older version today’s tracing light board to create mickey mouse scenes and other comic strips.

[@fjordwind]

Thank you so much for this ! It’s exactly what I was thinking when I made this tutorial - you have to start somewhere !

[@wilmaklinkhamer3429]

Thank you so much, because of you I could make the drawing…the explaining…is very good!!!!!😊

[@fjordwind]

You are welcome 😊

[@NaazOhNaaz]

You deserve the world!!! You are so kind and make it so easy to understand. I am good at hand-drawn paper art but want to try digital too. You helped with basics that is so important for any beginner! Loads of love and support to you ❤❤❤

[@fjordwind]

Thank you so very much for your kind words this makes me want to continue a lot 💕🙆🏻‍♀️

[@ariesqueenofswords7935]

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. I immediately subscribed. Please continue to do more tutorials. Thank you 🙏

[@fjordwind]

I’m on it !

[@Iwantfood137]

This was EXTREMELY helpful, thank you so much...because of you I've learned new ways to use the layers

[@akuobi1534]

The most useful tutorial~thank you so much! I watch all these speed drawings and don’t know what tools they’re using.

[@JustGennahMarie]

This helped me drastically bc I didn’t understand the clipping mask and alpha lock. This helps so much

[@fjordwind]

Aw so good to read it helped with them ! 😊

[@sapphoris]

I struggle a lot with confident lineart because I have hand tremors, so I played around with Krita and found I really liked the weighted option over the stabilize option. The Select+Liquify tool also really helped me be able to continue onto the rest of the piece. There were some things I ended up changing a little, but I'm happy with being able to finish it. Is there a place we can post the results?

[@bisousmarilyne]

this tutorial is sooo cool! thank you ! can't wait to try it!

[@fjordwind]

Did you try ? I’m curious if it was helpful !

[@mimiunscripted]

I just tried this now and I did so good. Was my first time with digital art but I’m so glad I ate. Wish I could post an image of it here. Thank you❤

[@fjordwind]

Very happy you tried and it worked out well for you !😊

[@karolinascislowicz1441]

Thank you so much for making this video! I tried digital art on Procreate for the first time today, and your video did a great job at teaching me the basics!

[@fjordwind]

Glad to read i could help u with this :) !

[@doodledum]

I am a complete beginner in digital art but gradually learning through KZbin. I am using Ibis paint X and its very good free software to for a beginner like me. I just loved your video and would follow your tutorials for sure. Please keep uploading more tutorials and I am very sure your KZbin channel is going to be huge. Amazing tutorial. Thank you.

[@fjordwind]

thank you so much for your positive feedback i hope to see you around more often then☺️

[@paulgalvinauthor]

Fantastic! I came pretty close in the end. It was a hard to keep the layers sorted out and I'm using a different drawing program, but your guidance was so perfect. Thank you!
