[@TyraWashington]

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: First of all, thank you so much for watching this video! :) I get a few common questions, so I thought I could tackle a few of them here! I hope you have a great day and good luck on your portraits!! ✨ WHAT BRUSH DID YOU USE?: I used the "script" brush at a really small size, so I could draw in the details of the fur (this can be found in the calligraphy brush group). ✨ WHAT IPAD DO YOU USE?: Apple iPad (6th Gen. 128GB, Wi-Fi, 9.7in, color Space Gray) ✨ WHAT APP DO YOU USE?: apps.apple.com/us/app/procreate/id425073498

Hi darling! Thanks for your video! Maybe you know the name of the brush in spanish? Thanks 💖

[@robinsiciliano8923]

I love the way you teach. My favorite line…..trust your eyeballs. So true!

[@TheAwesomePegicorn]

Starting from the top layers and drawing further back is such a great tip!

[@furryfotostudio]

Great tutorial! Especially I like that you separate the colors to 3 steps : highligh, basecolor and shodow part and It's so easy to understand to color any object!

[@69Runningeagle]

Luv your technique! Since my stroke, I got an iPad 11” to retrain myself to create art again. I can’t wait to try this technique!! Keep it up! You’ve inspired me.

[@TyraWashington]

Have fun! And I'm so happy you are creating art again! 🤗

[@sunfnvp]

I love this comment as much as I love this art it's so good to know that artists support artists!! and it's even more heartwarming since it's a fellow neuro victim I had a tia nov. 2019 and now I suffer from hemiplegic migraines and started creating again when I decided there's no way I could actually work somewhere normally again... I have found a love for digital art and someone asked me to do a picture of their dog I came across this and I love it I started reading comments and I see yours first truly touched my heart

[@susancox6547]

Ive only watched TWO of your tutorials and feel like I could actually do it ... thx

[@dengerdj]

I love your teaching style!

[@MrScaredsh1tless]

Awesome tutorial! When merging layers you can also pinch them all together

[@TyraWashington]

Wow I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip!

[@JeyroyLenkinss]

I didn't even know you could merge layers until this!!!

I've not thought about drawing this way before. I love the finished art. Thanks for the inspiration to try this. 💯❤ Got my sub.

This tutorial was sooo helpful. I have a Yorkie and I tried to do an illustration like this but I gave up haha. Now I’ll try again 💕

Don't give up! I'm happy to hear that you are trying again! These drawings definitely take time and a little practice

@@TyraWashington thanks that was sweet. When you get older it’s sometimes harder to keep yourself relevant. I never want to be stagnant I always want to learn new things. I surprised my daughter last year when I knew who Lizzie was she said” who are you”. That was the best. Thanks again

Yorkies are the superior species. I have a yorkie and she is nothing but absolutely amazing and has brought so much comfort and happiness to my family. I truly believe she is an angel that god sent to us. We adopted her when she was 4 and now she’s 13

Believe me, I didn’t know how to draw a lot of things in digital art, and I learned a lot from, really. my drawings of people were horrible, but after watching your video, even in English, I managed to make a drawing of a Wue model was very beautiful, nor it seems that it was I who made it!! thank u soo much!❤️

[@nathalialeite8899]

that part of using a few shades below and a few shades above the main color helps a lot!

[@TyraWashington]

That's great @Nathalia Leite! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@PORKUNIT1]

Great techniques, thanks for sharing!

[@kanine45]

How are you dragging and dropping the color without closing the outline shape? When I drag and drop a color it's covering the entire canvas. The only way I can get it to drag and drop is if I outline an area completely and drop it inside the outline. It looks like you're just outlining part of it and then dropping the color in where you want it and it actually works but I can't figure out how you're doing it?

[@maryselandreville1132]

I have the same issue as you. @tyra can you help us please!

[@sweetlittlelottie8970]

Sorry I’m a little late! I was just wondering what pens you use in procreate :)

[@TyraWashington]

Sorry for the late response! But I used the "script" brush at a really small size so i could draw in all the details.. You may also like the "syrup" brush as well!

[@subhabitus9907]

Excellent tutorial! You're a great artist :) Just found your page and I'm subscribing

[@TyraWashington]

Thanks so much, Sub 😊

[@inmintealucagula]

What brush you use? Mine is not thin at the edges...is round and looks wierd

[@TyraWashington]

Try using the "syrup" brush or the script" brush.

[@mrcwizem]

Hi Tyra! Question when you draw the fur around the nose. You don’t close the lines (they are closed against the nose). I watched your other video on colour fill but it says to close the lines. Thanks for any help! I have watched this (and many of your videos) 100x

[@TyraWashington]

Great question! Even tho it looks like I’m not closing the lines around the nose, I am! You just can’t see it because it’s stacked underneath the shape of nose. Thanks for your question

[@GabrielaCastilloG]

I love it!!! What brush do you use?

[@TyraWashington]

Thanks Gabriela! 😊 I used the script brush at a really small size so I could draw in all the small details in this portrait.

[@MckalaAlise]

This video is soooo helpful!!! Could you make a video on how to turn a dog image into a svg?

[@TyraWashington]

I actually don't think you can export SVGs from Procreate.. But I could definitely show how to create an SVG in design programs like Adobe Fresco and Adobe Illustrator

[@911loveyou]

Can you do a tutorial on how to cartoon human hair in procreate and make it look good! I struggle so bad with that

[@TyraWashington]

Oh wow! Sorry I missed your question! 😅 Procreate actually has a few different brushes for hair! Just go to the "Touchups" brush group and you'll find a few different options for human hair!

[@911loveyou]

@@TyraWashington no worries! Thanks so much :)

[@MrNoshinita]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have one question. If I want to do this to out on a poster how do I prevent the pixels? I mean you can se all the little squares if you look closely. How do I make i more neat?

[@TyraWashington]

If you want to create vector-based art (meaning you can scale the artwork infinitely without losing quality) then I would recommend Adobe Fresco. It's still an iPad drawing app. But it allows you to create vector art.

[@MarlouWesterhof]

You can set the DPI (dots per inch) up from 150 (fine for web) to 300 (high-resolution print). That will up the quality of your work. The option can be found when you make a new canvas.

[@heatherluby4895]

Hi, I loved your video. I am wondering what size canvas you used? I tried drawing but it came out super small and grainy… I cropped it at the end, but wondering what the correct canvas size to use is?

Hi! Great video thanks! Just wondering if I were create images on procreate and save as jpeg, what would the pixel quality be like if I wanted to sell A4 to A2 images as a digital print purchase? Can I enlarge the image on illustrator or photoshop and keep the same quality or is there a special way to enlarge the canvas on procreate? Thanks!

How do you fill in areas so quickly without filling the entire area. I’m not sure I’m seeing the closed sections.

Oh definitely! The only difference would be using the pen tool (or brush tool if you have a tablet). 😊

[@erickajohannalinzancedeno2315]

Hi, can you tell me what is the pen size? Could you tell me the settings of that one?

[@TyraWashington]

I would recommend using a smaller brush size to draw in the details (anywhere from 1-6 percent). But just play around and see what brush size feels comfortable for you. I also used the default "script" brush (you can find it in the "calligraphy" brush group).

[@Nokiafusion1]

Great tutorial Apart from saving as jpeg. You lose so much detail, it’s a lossless file. You should always save it as either a PDF or PNG to preserve the quality.

[@TyraWashington]
