[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Great great video - thanks ❤ 🙏🏼

[@carolmeade1536]

Hey BeeJay. I just finished Parts 1,2 and 3. I love how my mouse turned out. You make learning Procreate easy and fun! Thank you.

[@gabbdrg]

Thank you for all your videos, tutorials and willingness to share your knowledge! I've been making art since I was five and always thought I was a good drawer. Your videos have help me improve my drawings and taken them to a new level. Appreciate BeeJay!

[@robjones4316]

I Live in upstate NY and we are locked in for about another week or 2. I really appreciate all you do BeeJay, I’m going to do this mouse 🐭, maybe change the color. I finished the dinosaur 🦖 and I learned a lot. You have no idea how much these videos mean at times like these. I practice the mouth videos as well. Blessings Rob

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much, Rob! Glad I could bring some entertainment and value during these trying times! Appreciate the comment!

[@jhowardsupporter]

New York? Are you guys locked in all the time? I mean I've seen the news and the comments everyone's like "get out of New York". Anyway my artwork is starting to look really good... from across the room! You can't look at it close, but from across the room it looks really good!

[@oscarvideos]

Thanks so much BeeJayDel...You are so awesome and skilled. Thanks for doing this!!!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks for watching Oscar! Appreciate the feedback!!!

[@oscarvideos]

@@BeeJayDeL You're so welcome....I'm on a journey as a digital artist to refine my skills. I've been dipping my toes in for years but with the guidance your videos provide, I'm feeling more and more confident that I can produce quality work...I follow you on IG My name there is @oyesplease...I'd love to get feedback on my work so far

[@Rolz09]

Hey Beejay. These 3 part tutorials are great. I really appreciate how you breakdown the process and start from the basic shapes. Thank you!

[@gailalli8086]

Learned so much! Would love to see more of these 3 part lessons!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Yay! Glad it helped! Might have to do more videos formatted like this then 😀

[@szczypcia]

Your art has just become my inspiration. Following your directions,I'm now going to improve my skills. Thank you so much. PS. Your voice is really pleasant to listen to.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much! Glad to know that I am inspiring you!

[@start1793]

I am so glad that I found your videos. Every single video is awesome. I love it. Can't wait for new uploads :D

[@amberlycreations672]

Yay! I needed a awesome drawing video. Thanks BeeJay

[@BeeJayDeL]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching! ❤️👍❤️👍

[@hansolo4908]

Thanks PT.1+2+3 ~ Comprehensive & certainly up there as one of your best tutorials. Learned so much & finally able to understand Procreate, so that I can now start creating, confidently. If you can, please do more of these tutorials and progressively include additional techniques, perhaps progressing through to animation. Best wishes to all during this pandemic, stay safe & remain inside, if you can. United Kingdom.

[@Owsyanka]

Awesome! Would like to see more of those step by step tutorials from you! 3 parts video is a nice idea! Looking forward to see human character drawing in 3 steps (or more 😁)! Thanks!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!

[@PedrokasPT]

Amazing ! I love my final cartoon :-) And again everything thanks to you ! I am really happy and I only can say THANK YOU !

[@teouratadze]

So, this is what happened just now. I was searching for a retro-comic-anime hair drawing tutorial and found NOTHING! I spent like 2 hours searching everywhere for something that looks a little bit similar to what I wanted. So when I finally gave up, I just clicked on THIS random video from my feed. And what I saw on the 13th minute of the tutorial... I SAW THE STYLE OF HAIR THAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR!!! But it's not even anime, and it's clearly not a girls hair !!! So... thank you. I do believe in magic now. )))))))

[@ekul1193]

Thank you! That thing where you had to hold down the colors to not get the white on the lines really helped me

[@BeeJayDeL]

Awesome! Glad you got some value from it!

[@drewchk5254]

Thank you for this video, I’ve recently gotten back to drawing ( used to be pretty good ) after a long time of not doing it, I never was too good when it come to coloring my art, especially digitally but this video has helped tremendously. I got the new iPad Pro and have downloaded procreate so I’ll be following your channel from now on.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Awesome! Hope the videos help! Thanks for watching!

[@sambothecamboouernn3728]

Just picked up your brushes! So awesome, thanks for your videos

[@spcomix8986]

Amazing work! Learned some great drawing tips :)

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching!

[@dogyaltshering9653]

That's fantastic.

[@Jarbas.Travels]

Thank you so much ! I've been learning A LOT from you ! And you're definitely having an impact on my cartoon style

[@RenteriaJair23]

Thank you for making these videos!

[@BeeJayDeL]

[@dilipipad843]

Great Lesson

[@criminalminded6480]

Good job thanks. Your a great teacher.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@daverussell7614]

Will you be doing any more 3 part series? Think they’re brilliant, Learnt so much

[@leahstevenson4289]

Great explanation! Thank you. Is there a reason for the glove you’re wearing when using iPad? If so, what do you call it and where to buy?

[@coolbananasplays9035]

Fab videos - thank you so much!

[@BeeJayDeL]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!!!!

[@mr.grantsartexplorations1014]

Excellent video...I'm illustrating a book, helped me clean up my designs.

[@HANAAEWAS2023]

Amazing work thank you ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨👏✨✨✨✨👍🇪🇬

[@samjp3626]

Cute mousey, thank you!

[@shiverwind4361]

I cant draw! but I absolutely love watching your videos, thank you :)

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much! That’s pretty high praise! ❤️👍❤️👍

[@charonneclark7190]

Thank you for these videos. My biggest problem is knowing what color to use for the shading. I know that you should never use black, but I'm never sure what color is best to use with specific flats. Any advice?

[@wl-art]

Nice tutorial. What brush are you using to do the shadows?

[@omg-vert]

Around the 15 minute mark where you are using the Freehand selection tool to create the jagged highlights, instead of using the eraser you could also use three finger drag down and select "Cut".

[@BeeJayDeL]

Yup...you can also click back on the layer and hit clear...using the eraser is easier for people to understand the result though (there is a method to my madness, lol!)

[@stevenguzman8941]

I got your brush pack, I like it. I know you use 4500x5400 size, would you recommend that for a beginner? someone that watch your videos, like to practice and draw. I like your channel those basic videos about faces, noses, etc. Thanks!

[@AJtheGreattt]

I've binge-watched so many of your videos recently!! Love them 🤩 Just a quick question BeeJay, I'm currently using the Surface Pro 3 with Sketchbook Pro but I feel it is missing features, especially when it comes to colouring! I also have Illustrator but it has serious pen pressure issues that is apparently common 😫 is there a program similar to Procreate that you would recommend? Maybe Photoshop?

[@ChetMaddox]

Rad! Stay Cool Brother! Great shit!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks man!

[@hansolo4908]

Bee jay ~ for future tutorials, any chance you might consider something by the late great Eyvind Earle or perhaps Brian Miller’s ‘Wings Over Washington’. Thanks again...

[@BeeJayDeL]

Probably not...I don’t like recreating work by other artists.

[@hansolo4908]

Thanks - too bad. I was hoping more for thought, planning & process, not recreating work by other artists. And if it is possible on iPad, perhaps not. I guess it’s TFD.

[@donquezstrong6884]

🔥🔥🔥

[@surajagarwal3561]

Plz anyone suggest which software is this... U want to drown with graphics pen tablet to my laptop screen which software I use? If anyone can give name of this 🥺 ty in advance

[@EchoJ]

Thanks so much for these tutorials! I’m really learning a lot 😊 I’m trying to follow along with the coloring techniques from this video but using an inked image I imported into Procreate. Unfortunately, the color dropping doesn’t work as expected. The colors drop but I can’t see them on the artwork they appear in the layer thumbnail but not in the actual art. I’m certain it has to do with the imported (from Clip Studio) artwork, since this works fine on an image I drew in Procreate. Any ideas what I can do to fix it so that imported line art can use the color dropper?

[@BeeJayDeL]

You can color under the image on a new layer by setting the imported layer to “multiply.”

[@TruthBombTom]

Hey man, so where you have the "colour flats layer", is that a group of all your colour flats, or have you combined all of your colour flats into one layer? I would have thought if you combined them all together, you'd still have that same issue of shadows overlapping your colours for example, although saying that maybe it is a good thing as it would give a more natural look rather than going in on each colour separately, and of course it isn't going to show up on your line art as it's separate. BTW your brush set is amazing, really has gave me a new lease of passion to get drawing digitally again, thanks for all you do.

[@TruthBombTom]

It all depends on your drawing bro. For example, I have done a drawing recently where I have kept the gun of a soldier on separate colour flats as I wanted to add blood splatter to it. You have to use a little bit of forward thinking with your digital drawing and also there isn't a strict path with your workflow. Just pinch ideas from videos like this one and create your own. Hit me up for any more help, I am really trying to get into digital art myself.

[@GeorgeMasterclass]

Can you please do an ambient occlusion video?

[@danielescremin3847]

I can’t buy your brushes. From site always Says that the card is not verified. From italy.

[@BeeJayDeL]

I would try contacting Gumroad support...

[@Escelce]

Hi there Beejay, great video as always. Have you thought about issuing a word a day challenge to keep everyone busy/occupied during this time. Not meaning a video every day, i just mean a word list you could come up with like Inktober and post it on the Facebook page. Might be a good exercise and build more followers etc.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks! Been kicking around that idea, lol!

[@robjones4316]

PLEASE HELP!!!! I just found out I washed my (Apple Pencil 1st Gen) and I cant find another online ....Does anyone have one for sale????? Amazon is sold out bestbuy is sold out as well. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can find one.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Looks like Walmart has them!

[@robjones4316]

Walmart ... wow !! Okay I will check now

[@coloringvideosforyourkids]

good

[@start1793]

I think i may change from PS to procreate now

[@kmidst_kn6329]

Got two tutorials in one, the drawing and some Procreate techniques :)

[@BeeJayDeL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mehwishumber9063]

Hi, I have seen lot of your drawing videos and I have a request if you could teach to draw a few detailed scenes/backgrounds...I have seen the one with lion character...but I need something more detailed..I am not good with perspective (near and far drawing) completing the whole scene. It would be a great help if you could draw one scenery with forest theme and one of street with a house or two....It does have to be exactly these...I just need to learn how people draw a scene which looks like going from near to very far in a small space.

[@BeeJayDeL]

That will be on the list for upcoming videos!

[@nicosenatama9163]

Canvas size plz?

[@BeeJayDeL]

In part 1

[@magspurvis7479]

Still doing part 1

[@BeeJayDeL]

👍👍👍 keep at it!

[@shreyaajana1979]

Do you give giveaways??? To your subscribers who can’t afford ipad like me

[@BeeJayDeL]

Wait...didn’t you get the email when you subscribed? I give all of my subscribers new iPads. 😂😂😂 You sorely overestimate how much I make from KZbin- can’t afford giveaways like that, lol!

[@ralluzarebon]

Mario

[@geneszmanski]

why use a brush that most of us don’t have. speaking so fast is confusing.
