Hi James. Please could you leave your colour selector on colour wheel instead of the light, contrast, saturation bars to make it easier for those of us who just approximate the colours as apposed to using the hexadecimal codes? Love the artwork and am looking forward to giving this a whirl very soon Thanks Paul

[@Lxyaltys]

this is so good to watch i didnt even realize it had been almost 40 minutes when i checked how long the video was, i thought ive only been watching for like 10 minutes 💀

[@italianlessonsnyc1176]

The clearest tutorial of all time. I followed the instructions and it came out almost identical. Then i added some Jack o lanterns for that Halloween vibe . Signing up to your site and getting the palettes is totally worth it! Thank you so much! 😊

I came to say just this. I told my girlfriend no less than 5 minutes ago that i subscribed to this channel because he’s the bob ross of iPad art.

[@marxxcelle]

TOTALLY!

James I’ve been watching your channel and videos for several years now. I’ve been away the past year and just jumped on to catch myself up. Sir, bravo! Also, thank you! Hands down one of the best procreate tutorial channels I’ve come across. Your ability to break the steps down truly is incredible. Thank you for allowing people who want to create and may have spent all of their money on the iPad the ability to learn more with your free courses! Greatly appreciate.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Ah my pleasure and thank you for the lovely comments 🙏

[@salimawright]

I finished the pumpkin! I got Procreate about a year ago, tried to watch tutorials but couldn't get into it. Your video showed up in the sidebar with "draw this!" beside another video saying "made easy", with beautiful art in the thumbnail, so I had to check it out. And while it took me a bit of time to get used to the program and adjusting the settings, your step-by-step instructions were perfect. I really appreciate you often reminding viewers what the brush settings are, and being very clear about what you're doing and why. Amazing tutorial. I'm checking out your other videos and I've subscribed!! Thank you!! :)

[@QuinTheFly]

Such an iconic part of Halloween, the humble Jack O'Lantern. I had the idea that this was an undead thing of Halloween's past, but after finishing it I saw that it could just be a pumpkin in the dark and spooky. I liked the duality of it. I took extra time with the mist/fog. Still working on such "organic" shapes with natural movement and curves. I ended up pleased with the results. It's been a big hit with the family!

[@emily_ming_]

It's surprising! I'm still pretty new to drawing, so I'm pretty clumsy, but I can copy what you've done and make great paintings. Thank you so much! :D

[@heidiklotz3495]

Love looking back at older lessons. You've developed but your roots and starting point are spot on! Please keep filming your lessons!

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Thank you so much, glad you can see some development 😊

Very relaxing channel! I told my woman during the video i saw on facebook from you that i. Subscribing on KZbin because your the bob Ross of the iPad. Not just the quality of the finished piece, but the peace your voice makes combined with slow steady beautiful painting is simply medication for anxiety

[@agibbo5303]

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Roboto-chan_1402]

Truly enjoyed watching this tutorial. Thank you! From around 21:00. For those that are worried to mess up the erasing part. Alternatively you can set up a masking layer, set the brush to black and paint in the black colour onto the masking layer. This "erases" the strokes but in a non-destructive way. And if anything goes wrong and you don't like what you "erased", paint it back in in white. (Especially with the mouth piece at 21:45 it could come in handy). And then, once you're happy, merge down the masking layer with the one below. 😊

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Yeah I totally agree, it slipped my mind to do this as it felt like a simple step to me, my bad. However I also think you don’t get second chances with a real pumpkin lol and those wonky imperfections are kinda what makes it look more authentic, too much refinement in this case will move it away from that look in this case. Appreciate the comment you are probably right though for most people.

[@Roboto-chan_1402]

Yes, totally appreciate that everyone works differently. It wasn't meant as a criticism - my apologies if it came across as such. It was really meant for those among us that may still be a bit "timid" (for lack of a better wording) to just go in there and erase. 😅 As said, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Amazing hiw versatile Proceeate is, even with its default features! Have a fab day and look forward to your next video tut. 😊

I just used the smudge tool it’s not that destructive if you use it zoomed in with a small brush

You might get me hooked on learning Procreate....I am totally new so forgive me if I am missing something. I am only at around the 7:14 mark and at the point when I go to select the pumpkin pieces it takes in more than one part and the background. I keep trying to go backer lines and even deleted it to start from scratch. Any pointers?

14:12 Someone Help bro 😭 every time I go to merge down, its like the outline I made still shows? When u did it here the whole pumpkin looked solid. When I do it, the lines I made for the shapes become hollow and the background colors show through and u can still see the sections of the pumpkin.

Amazing tutorial Thankyou. Though as I’m working through it now I’m at 7:17 through, when I go to select the individual segments, it just selects the whole piece 😩 how do I stop this from happening? Note: there are no gaps, all the lines of the pumpkin are connected

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

Maybe keep the pencil down and slide left it will make threshold more sensitive to edges

[@mannee55]

I give up. When i try to fill layer 4 the whole paper turns black. And i was struggling at 7:15 a whole day but the automatic doesnt do the same as in your video. My turns black

[@rodbarrett1581]

Cool video . I am interested in digital art yet have no computer tech experience. How difficult is it to learn procreate? Also could I upload a drawing and turn it digital by working and refining it in procreate? For instance I want to make some t shirt designs. I hqve drawings that would need to be vectorized and cleaned up. Could I bypass all of that by uploading to procreate and finishing it there? And hqve all the abilities to manipulate and create symetry ? Any help would be appreciated.

[@kelliwilliams-mirus359]

It is so awesome but I am still struggling at 7:15 where you added layer 4 then go back to layer 3. Go to the selection and click automatic then tap in one of the areas. My canvas filled out with different color and the pumpkin disappeared. So it seems like I am missing between go back to layer 3 and the selection.

[@salimawright]

Did you manage to figure this out? I'm following along the tutorial now and having the same issue. When I go to Selection - Automatic, it fills with a solid blue colour with white bits where it meets the black lines.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

The automatic selection is on a slider so tap the screen but keep the pencil down and slide it left or right to adjust the threshold. This might be the issue

I'm following along with this awesome tutorial, and I'm about half way done! That being said, it seems like your brush strokes lay down a darker line in most cases than when I do it. Maybe I'm not pressing firmly enough on the screen? Regardless, this is a great video!

[@qonkisstador2516]

Hi James, thank you for this tutorial. However, how on earth did you set your blank canvas to landscape? The default A4 canvas is set up in portrait orientation, and I can't for the life in me get Procreate to change that to landscape. The "flip canvas horizontal or vertical" option, doesn't change the orientation, but only gives you a mirror image. How did you set the blank canvas to landscape. Please share.

[@JamesJulier-Artist]

You simply open the canvas and then turn it on its side, when you close it, it saves in the landscape orientation

[@Engeweng]

I don’t understand why my brushes are always way bigger than yours? I put the dimensions (3508x2480px) and dpi (300) you showed at the beginning of the tutorial in, but still my brush is always to big? I hope someone can help. I just stumbled a few days over your tutorials and I love your art! I’m still a beginner, but with your tutorials I feel confident to try my best and the results are looking for my understanding pretty nice 😊 thank you!
