How to Cartoonize People From Photo References | Procreate

A short video on how to cartoonize people's faces based on random photo references. In this video, I have explained how to choose a good reference, how to analyze, simplify, and exaggerate the forms, and finally, how to color the sketch in Procreate using blending modes. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. :)

[@mesia2453]

the biggest problem I have stylising is that the face look like some one else's face entirely.

[@talatalayandule_rdc]

Ok kiekiek😢ie 5ij3🎉😢5y😂just y😊and i🎉😮😊😊

[@talatalayandule_rdc]

Ok Ok

[@crochetworldstylemoda]

Same here 😂

[@IGarrettI]

Look for prominent features. The parts of the face you would describe the person with "ooh Johnny, the guy with a nose like a hawk!" The exaggerate those features

[@Xivamart]

i always do these things and i think most of the time it works and the remaining times it would still work jus gotta get more practice and we r good to go@@IGarrettI

[@JulioMullet]

Very interesting class. I loved all the explanations and what strikes me the most is his vision to turn people into cartoons. It's amazing how each person has their point of view. Thanks for the great demonstration!

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)

[@EbbtideCheque]

I love how positive this is. I've been struggling to figure out how to simply when drawing. This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I love how straight forward the coloring tutorial was. I overcomplicate or oversimplify my coloring process. So this was nice to see

[@kashe7285]

i think it's also important to understand which features to push and exaggerate more to better capture likeness. if you don't take that into consideration, the character will often not look like the reference because the wrong features were pushed too much or not enough!

[@timessitnelli9793]

i agree

[@artby_swastika]

Got it Thankyou ! That was insightful

[@artovjun]

Amazing and extremely efficient video. I have noticed myself delving more into unnecessary details in my drawings, but sometimes efficient stylization and simplifications work better in your favor. Thank you for this priceless info!

[@bobpc2918]

Great ! I've watched hundreds of art videos, yours is so fresh ! Thanks for the tip about red area between light and shadow on the skin. I had heard it quite often but your ways of explaining it was way clearer.

[@GrimBQT]

Sir, this video is amazing! Easily one of the best cartooning and coloring tutorials I have ever seen. I appreciate the way you instruct both the 'What to do' and the 'Why to do' as well. That is an important part of making instructions easier to recall because of the additional context. I never actually knew what ambient occlusion was before now, despite having heard the term for years. My only additional thought is that it would be extra helpful for people to hear the Why of your layer blend modes, such as using color dodge for the reflective layer. Thank you for this, I will definitely be sharing it and you have got yourself a new sub.

[@kainscoma1]

One of the better color rendering videos Ive seen in a while. Very nice explanation. I'll be checking out more of your videos, for sure.

[@user-zq9vd5re7l]

I've tried an incredible amount of styles and ways to color, taking hours coloring one face. In less than ten minutes you've helped me understand how to color/use procreate properly. Thank you! You've saved my life, and many hours from it.

[@GuoCreative]

Very excited to see a new video from you! I’ve watched tons and tons of procreate tutorials on cartooning and you seem to have a massively different approach which is super helpful. I know lots of people love that you are straight to the point - but it would be nice to see a slowed down version of how you actually use procreate and the processes in more depth with your colors and shadowing, etc. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it and sure I'll keep that in mind for the upcoming videos! :)

[@laurencampanara4502]

Great video. I loved how concise you are and how clearly you demonstrate your process. Thanks so much!

[@iasmimbrito8479]

I love your style and how easy you express your choices. It's really something else when you find a video where the artist cares to show every step so calmly, especially when you’re not 100% fluent in english like me. Helps a lot! I would love to see more of your process here on youtube. ❤️

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[@averyarms7236]

I’m not very good at stylizing faces but your coloring tutorial is SO helpful my coloring just went 📈

[@audrynilson2016]

[@chestercastro2924]

Very helpful and well structured video. I heard new information which will help me with my drawings. Thank you very much!

[@HeathenDoodles]

Thank you so much, I really liked this! I enjoy learning about the thought process that goes into creating unique character shapes and you do a very good job explaining the thought process on WHY you make the shapes the way you do, rather than a tutorial that is just a bunch of 'rules on how to draw'. So thank you for that!

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)

[@pedromonteiro3378]

Great insight your painting method, step by step, but without being boring. not easy to achieve and you done it!
