How to Paint an Apple with Oils in Procreate | Beginner Tutorial

[@stilted]

Let’s see which of these tips I can use in my next piece - I’m a slow learner, lol, but seeing how you added the final texture strokes feels like a revelation.

[@ohnoitsapoorva7686]

Phenomenal tutorial, not only do you explain the reason behind your choices, but you elaborate what brushes to use.

[@IttaiManero]

@@ohnoitsapoorva7686 thank you so much! So happy that you found it useful 😊🙏

[@nouniquenameguy]

[@Juliet182]

Hi I just wanted to say I'm so glad I found you! I just started digital painting from only traditional painting a couple months ago and it's been really aggravating. I didn't like the brushes that come with procreate because there's not enough variety and they're too "computery" lol. Yours are very realistic AND don't just look real, they act like real brushes too! That's so important. And the best part is you actually explain how to use them! It's so strange to me that the other people that make brushes don't actually teach you how to use them. That's so much more helpful and thank you for doing that. I went back and bought your Pastels set which I love🩷, and I'll be coming back for the Graphite set, the Sketchbook and papers bundle, and the Crosshatching set 😃. I was wondering if you'll be coming out with one for charcoal and one for acrylics too? If not, maybe you could consider those for the future? Anyway, I'm subscribed and following. Thank you so much for what you do.

Hello, Faye 9! Wow, thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate it. It makes me so happy to know that you’re enjoying my brushes and my tutorials ❤️ I agree that every brush creator should dedicate some time regularly to teach their customers how to use their brushes! Only the creator can show you how to take full advantage of their brushes, as they know them better than anyone else. I’ll add your suggestions to my list of possible brush sets in the future 😊 Thank you so much!

[@dragonfly99]

@@IttaiManero Yay! Wonderful thank you! 💖💖💖

[@TurtleOfObservation]

Hi, I love your video and will most likely get your brushes to follow along, but what makes it so much more difficult is not knowing what layers you’re using - which layer you’re on, what the mode of that layer is (I’m guessing it’s probably Normal most of the time, but I could be wrong?) etc. That makes it very difficult to follow along :(

[@antonvf9619]

many thanks! those videos demonstrating a few brushes in a set are fantastic (i make a quick lenu with the brushes you use tio make things easier, please more demos of other brushes from any pack would be most helpful and welcome (one about the stippling pack would be great) i own all you sets they are fantastic! many thanks

[@IttaiManero]

I’ve only made one tutorial on how to use the stippling set so far, so it may be time for a new one soon! It may need to wait until after Brushtober though. Thank you for your suggestion (and for your awesome support!) 😊🙏✨

[@TheFrugivorediet]

woohoo! happy to see this for us beginners :)

[@IttaiManero]

I’m glad you like it! 😊✨

[@ArchArad]

I'm going to be trying my hand at this tutorial. I fear that results may vary! 😂 I appreciate that you have limited yourself to a few brushes - it shows that you don't need all the brushes you can get to achieve the results you want. I often fall into the trap of thinking that if I only had more brushes I'd be able to get my work to look like I imagine. This will be a great exercise for me (and many other beginners I'm sure). Keep up the good work!

[@IttaiManero]

Thank you so much! Limiting the amount of brushes you use in one piece is a great way to slowly familiarize yourself with a brush set. I tend to use a few specific brushes from one set for a while, and from time to time I explore working with a few other brushes from the same set. This is also a great way to get out of your comfort zone and discover new workflows that work well for you, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a pro artist 😊

[@ArchArad]

​​@@IttaiManero Do you colour pick from the reference photo (and adjust them to suit the work) or use your judgement with regards to colours? And I'm looking forward to getting to know the brushes at a more relaxed place.

[@IttaiManero]

@@ArchArad I never color pick from the reference. The only way to actually learn how to choose the right colors is to develop your observation skills (looking at the reference and trying to replicate the colors you see), which is something you can’t do by color picking 😊

[@ArchArad]

@@IttaiManero Thanks. I'll add that detail to my own attempt at this piece. 😳

[@alpha8here]

Great work, Ittai! It's really lovely seeing your video come up with great details

[@IttaiManero]

Thank you my friend! I actually like how this one came out! 😊

[@IbrahimYounes]

I don’t know why drawing app creators thinks every brush should be pressure sensitive. I did painting and oils for 10 years never had to do any pressure. Zero pressure. Other than that. What a great work thanks for sharing !

[@jak3est]

Because it cuts time instead of changing the opacity to replicate thinning you just adjust pressure work flow thing i think. It is weird to get used to tho makes everything draw like a marker or watercolor

[@tracksensations]

Beautiful, thank you

[@quinn7570]

loved this tutorial! any chance you could do something like it for a portrait

[@IttaiManero]

Thanks! I’ve already done 3 of those: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2S0eGiPm8yofKMsi=ApuOqXICyMGwh6w_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZytiYSGprmArdksi=t4KuvnKqVh4_F0iU kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2rLgYNoe5eMg5Ysi=aOFqv9OnMgqku9hI

[@JanineKearns]

Hi Ittai, I love your work and I have your brush set. It is wonderful. I noticed that you did not use the two layers (Canvas Board Texture and the Oil texture) on top of the painting layer. It really helps to see you use your brushes as I am new to painting in the Oil painting style. Can you explain? Thank you.

[@IttaiManero]

Hey Janine, thanks for the kind words! Yes, I can explain. Since this one was a beginner tutorial I just wanted to keep things simpler, and in the same way I limited the exercise to 6 brushes, I also limited the textures used to just one, the oil color base. Feel free to add those two other textures as I explain in the more advanced included PDF tutorial.

[@JanineKearns]

@@IttaiManero Thank you for your quick reply. That makes sense and does make things a little simpler. 👩🏻‍🎨♥️

Amazing

Very nice.

too detailed which i really love. i also want to try the complete brush set but its too expensive when its in philippine peso :(( i cant afford it

[@IttaiManero]

@@ieattoes666 hi! If you send me an email I can give you information about the discounts I make in Black Friday, which will be at the end of November this year 😊

[@Corterri-Art]

Very good video. It's hard to get a traditional look with digital tools.

[@IttaiManero]

Thank you!

[@aPieceofBrain]

How did you get the reference picture on the screen like that?

[@IttaiManero]

@@aPieceofBrain it’s not on the screen, I added it on the video editing to show you guys the reference during the process. When I’m painting I usually prefer to have the reference on a separate screen so that it doesn’t take out part of my working space. You can add a reference image on screen by going to the wrench icon, Canvas, and activate Reference.

[@TatianaTravelways]

Wonderful!

[@Jezz_Mcfly]

👏 Nice ! great piece ✌

Hi, I can't find a way to get any of the files or images into my Ipad. They don't show in Icloud on the Ipad, They show in Google Drive but are not accessible and I have nothing that will show an .avif file?

[@IttaiManero]

Hello Paul, if you download the files from Safari in your iPad, there’s a folder in the files app called Downloads. You should be able to find the files there. Let me know if you need any further assistance, you can email me to [e-mail]

[@Orthodoxuk]

@@IttaiManero Great thanks for that.

Yet another apple product

The problem with ProCreate is that painting like this is nothing like painting with oil. The experience is completely different.

[@IttaiManero]

I get that nothing can fully replicate the traditional oil painting experience. However, I’ve worked hard on these Procreate brushes and tools to get as close as possible, and the positive feedback I’ve received tells me that many artists are enjoying them. My aim is to offer a nice option for those who prefer to work digitally. I’m genuinely proud of what my brushes can achieve.

[@Twizzy0218]

Problem with Procreate? It's a problem for DIGITAL painting. Not just Procreate. This is a good brushset that mimics OIL on DIGITAL.

[@artconversation]

To be honest, this is still like gouache, not oil painting
