let's paint a cozy landscapes 🍁 Illustration tutorial. Procreate tips and tricks for beginners

Here's how to paint a procreate watercolor children's book style landscape illustration in procreate. This is a great procreate tutorial for beginners and advanced painters alike.
👉🏼STUFF I USED FOR THIS VIDEO 😌
I used a combination of brushes and a paper texture for this project:
- FREE House Texture Brush kit (small version): www.mediafire....
- Little pine/gloaming brush (in the Drawing tab/Procreate Brush Library)
- Compressed charcoal (In the charcoal tab/Procreate Brush Library)
-Fineliner Pen/Abstract Round/Sharp Round (Amazing watercolor for procreate kit, link below)
-Blacksands paper texture (this is the light gritty effect)
The watercolor brushes and the paper texture are products I sell on my etsy store to support the channel. These tools help you create organic looking watercolor-textures in Procreate.
- Amazing watercolor for Procreate Kit (brushes):
drifterstudio....
- Blacksands Paper texture (the paper effect, optional, but it's very cool):
drifterstudio....
(All of these brushes/kits/textures come with very clear KZbin tutorials and you can also contact me directly if you need anything or if you want a refund. I'm extremely active on etsy and I'd love to chat with you)
If you cannot afford the brushes/texture, please message me on my Etsy store in the links above and I can help you. I love to teach art and help traditional artists try out digital painting. The income from the Etsy store helps this project be financially sustainable. I really try to use the best hardware and software I can afford and make the videos as good as I possibly can.
The background music is called 'Yestalgia' and I have a license from Artlist 🙏

Hi! What do you think of this one? Landscapes are always tough for me but this method works really well. If you want the sketch and color palette for this project, you can download them here: Color Pallete for this landscape: www.mediafire.com/file/g4276w0l297xbab/COLORS_Cozy_Landscape.JPG/file Sketch for this landscape: www.mediafire.com/file/r1ccic2fleyglda/SKETCH_Cozy_Landscape+DrifterStudio.jpg/file

looooove it

[@theimprovedmama3288]

I wrote a few children’s book and now I’m trying to teach my self to illustrate them. Thank you for these tutorials!

[@janetzefferj1929]

Your tutorials are very inspirational and fun to follow. Thank you for being so generous with your time and art.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much! I really enjoy discovering to topics and making these videos. I couldn't do it without you🥰

[@annaguettabi3974]

I look forward to thursdays! So creative!

[@alexfrederickson1540]

You did it again, Calvin, just so so beautiful and I love how you keep everything so simple and relaxed. Thank youuuu 😍😍😍

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much 💓💓💓💓

[@itsmissko]

Wow! 🤩 That was so satisfying to do and super easy to follow along. Great being able to try different brushes and techniques that I hadn’t used before as a relative newbie. Thank you also for your generosity with the free texture brushes, they’re lovely!! 🥰

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

thank you so much! I love painting cute landscapes this way because it sort of sets me free from perspective (my nemesis!!!)

[@itsmissko]

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438😎😀 I enjoyed it so much I’m going to seek out your other house & landscape themed projects to try, feeling very inspired! 🫶

[@minhngo154]

I just finished this one, loving it! Not too hard but I like that you incorporate a lot of Procreate techniques on your tutorial and the color scheme is very lovely! Thanks Calvin!

[@lisanyijimenez1147]

I loveee this tutorial. It’s amazing how I’ve been following you and I hadn’t seen this video yet I had this painting saved on Pinterest to try out once I could finally get the watercolor brush set and start practicing. As somebody who wants to start from scratch and doesn’t know anything about watercolor it gets hard to follow the tutorials if I don’t have the same brushes. Hope I can buy them one of these days. Love how simple you make everything look, gives me hope that I can learn using the tuts.

[@TheYohannita]

WOW!! so simple, so effective, so free, so beautiful and yet so complex. Amazing work!

[@user-ee6zr6fe5q]

Love this! Please consider making a winter version of this video, it would be amazing!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

absolutely! thanks for the idea 😱😱 cozy winter night, that's what came to my mind, i can make the snow a sort of blue grey and the house windows will be glowing yellow

[@coffeebreak100]

Just found your channel today! Love your style and the way you teach and explain things. Just subbed. 😊

[@bondsamurai]

This is why I look forward to Thursday mornings!

GREAT tutorial Calvin. Thanks so much. I appreciate those texture brushes too. Those are really cool.

[@karenjones2631]

I wanted to add that I loved the background, and plan on using the technique on my next project

[@Hollyhock7]

You're so good to us, Calvin!!! 😊😊😊

[@karenjones2631]

I enjoyed this relaxing video. What I liked best is how you used the selection and colorfill tool. I never knew how to use it, and I can see where I can use it in future projects. I like when you add teaching to your projects.

[@streichherrin9498]

I love it 🤩🍂🍁

[@kellescott9216]

Love this one, Calvin! Thanks for another great tutorial, you’re rocking the autumn vibes this season and I’m loving it. 😊

Very autumn!

[@evelynwald9132]

You always provide such a great design that’s simple and interesting. Thank you for the brushes, I was only expecting the one brush and now have a new set. My favorite season is winter so I’m going to see if I can use your tricks to create a winter scene.

[@gerardogarciasarabia3523]

Thank you so much! ☺

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

the next tutorial will be something simple, but after that i will try another cute landscape like this 🥰

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much☺️☺️

[@randomroka]

I love watching you paint because it all looks so simple and gorgeous ❤ And then when I try to paint I'm stuck because I'm afraid to merge the layers in case I make a mistake and can't correct it 😅 I think I need to loosen up a bit

[@HP-mk2lw]

Fantastic video. I know I’m late, working on getting back into drawing and your videos are always just what I need. You make everything feel so simple that it allows me to get out of my head. I forget, do you have a class/course/Patreon or something?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much! please visit my channel anytime you need ideas ☺️ I don't have any courses right now but I will try that eventually. Making videos and narrating them is far outside of my normal interests and it's taken a long time to get comfortable with it. If I can just get a little better at this, I will be able to do entire videos without lots of mistakes and this will reduce the time I spent editing and retaking (Currently just one 15 minute video is taking around 25-30 hours of work). So courses are just something I don't have time for yet. If I can't get my editing time down, I will have to hire a video editor.

[@patriciacoveney1]

Are these brushes different from the Aquarelle brushes I already have ? Great work as always. Thank you

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

They should be the same - do you see the abstract round brush? If you have any difference in the effect, you can message me a screenshot on Etay and i can help you figure out what's wrong

[@phi2923]

I have a question: are the house texture brushes free for commercial use? Like for example, if I used them in a drawing of mine, would I be allowed to sell the drawing printed on shirts and such? Anyway, this is such a lovely tutorial!! :)

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! I'm so sorry for the late reply 😔 yes, everything I offer on my channel like free brushes, sketches, ideas, are absolutely fine for unlimited commercial projects.

[@phi2923]

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 wow, that's so awesome! Thank you for replying, I appreciate it! 💚

[@sewyeti3913]

The texture on the houses - I downloaded the free brushes, but when I try and adjust the size (i.e. of the "stripes" on the house) the brush size changes but the stripes themselves stay the same. How can I make them smaller?

[@veronikazalesskaya356]

hello! what do you have in group of “blacksands watercolor…”. do you have any watercolor paper on background?

[@melissalovesart]

Love this is so cute, but I can’t get the link for the house brushes to work 😢

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

oh no! Can you try this link? did you see any error message? www.mediafire.com/file_premium/edr7pgn3mx6laxe/%2528small%2529HouseTextureBrushes.brushset/file

[@yuli_kale]

Love it❤ But I don’t know how can open free brushes… cannot open in procreate 😢

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

usually you can just tap on the file and it will go to procreate automatically. Do you see any errors 🤔? If you message me on Etsy we can chat sort of like Messenger and attach screenshots 😁. I would love to help you get them working

I DONT HAVE THE ABSTRACT ROUND BRUSH :(

Hi! What’s the size of the canvas? Thank u

Yes, procreate app and iPad with Apple Pencil

[@sibelarslan7933]

How can ı find abstract round in procreate?

[@Hollyhock7]

Pretty sure it's in his Watercolor brush pack in his Etsy store ♡

[@karenjones2631]

The watercolor kit is worth every dollar. I use the abstract round brush every day. That and the fine liner brush. The water blender brush is the best brush in all of Procreate, and I don’t know what I would do without it.

[@jessicat5456]

He sells his own watercolor brush set and it's absolutely amazing. Right out the door, you're making these beautiful pieces with minimal effort. Totally recommend.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

@@jessicat5456😱😱 thank you so much!!!

[@hellosyana]

I cannot find the abtract round brush, is there any difference betweet each procreate account? Sorry, i'm a beginner in procreate and digital art 🥲

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! My videos use watercolor brushes that I sell in my Etsy store, linked in the description. You can follow this tutorial with any brushes but I sell my own brushes to support the channel. Procreate doesn't have any brushes specifically for watercolor, so my goal with this channel is to develop the best solution for that.

[@hellosyana]

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 oh, thank you so much! I really like your art style with watercolor brush, so i wonder what brushes you use in your videos and why i can't find those in my procreate account 🥲 turns out it's yours hihi
