Loose Watercolor Architecture Illustration // FAST & EASY // Procreate Watercolor Tutorials

Hi! Thanks for visiting my watercolor painting channel. Please give this video a 'like' if you want to see more fast and easy tutorials like this :]
In todays video, I explain my technique for creating very loose watercolor architecture illustrations. This process is a lot easier than it looks. Try to push yourself to complete your illustration because it really comes together towards the end.
FAQ: How do you paint watercolor in procreate?
By combining some special brushes and a watercolor paper texture, we can paint in this watercolor style. All the brushes, textures, and materials are linked below. They all come with video instruction on how to use them, so it's something your can use even if you are totally new to Procreate.

PRINT YOUR ARTWORK:
Here's the printer I use:

I prefer this one because it's just so easy to get amazing colors and rich, textured shading. This printer is not suitable for printing tiny stuff because it's only going to do 150dpi. That's good enough for anything larger than a greeting card.

As usual, thanks Calvin! :)

I’ve been in a real depression for the last 4 years and then the Covid hit and I haven’t felt like doing any art for months. Your videos are helping me get back to art again. Thank you for you instructions. They are well done 👍 thanks.

[@peakfeeling7311]

Thanks very much

[@ElmiraRostami-l9v]

Great. Thank you

[@caitlinbogan6657]

Your videos are awesome! Procreate hack for the color burn issue: apply splatter as a clipping mask, group the 2 layers, and then flatten the group. This also works for multiply and screen effects.

[@matostory]

From the beginning, I recognized the place where is one of my favorite place in NYC! Happy to watch this tutorial! Thank you!!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Haha!! That is so cool, I would love to visit this place... it's so cute!!

[@flourishingblots]

I love Urban Sketching and love this idea to replicate it on the iPad!!

[@artisanarts2045]

Love this technique, Calvin! I'm a scribbler... so this basically has opened my scribble world right up! Thanks!

[@sbutler66]

Really loved the loose aesthetic of this, possibly one of my favourite videos to date. Such a cool idea for Christmas gifts

[@shahrilkharib]

Much appreciate your generosity in sharing this very comprehensive tutorial. I learned a lot!

[@zeehelmick8313]

I recently moved into a new home and was thinking I need to send thank you cards to those who sent me housewarming gifts. This idea is perfect and timely...thank you for sharing your talent Calvin!

[@gemmayyv1664]

I’d love more of these architectural works! ❤

[@JustaLilLost]

Loved this tutorial! I’ve had Procreate and an Apple Pencil for years and haven’t really learned how to properly use it. Finally found a tutorial that shows me how to digitally create the style I like painting with real watercolours! Thank you!

[@PeterPenguin77]

Wow! What an amazing work flow and use of techniques! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@soshicarlo]

This is perfect!! Exactly what I was looking for thank you

Thank you for taking the time to create this! This helps beginners like me to be a digital artist.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much, I really enjoy making these videos 💖

[@micahneveu4633]

Ooo! The random selection and changing the hue is something I've been missing. I've sort of manually been doing that, this will help a lot! Great tip!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

it really adds some nice variation☺️ You can also try the same thing but instead of hue shift, try to use guassian blur a little. This adds some random softness that also has an nice effect.

[@Trainguy9000]

Super!!! Thank you so much. Great techniques, textures, and free brushes. It's like you know us and what we will want next.

[@dotmargrave]

Hi Calvin, just love your drawing you have done, as I am not very good at drawing you have shone me a good way of doing a picture with loose details and colouring many thanks

Greetings from Indonesia 🤗🇮🇩 Really like ur intro opening music, love ur drawing and how u explain.. The opening music reminds me when I’m playing Angklung (Traditional Music) in another country. Get inspire me alot about how to draw and music, thank you ✨

[@Ngangatar]

You Sir, are a star. Somehow all topics or tuts you make enthusiast me. Definitely going to try this as well as your other ones. Had a blast with your Mountain range, which btw looked better after setting hue to green, but thats just a personal preference.

[@sullagod]

[@user-fh4if7wi3x]

Good

[@JR-mq6wd]

Love this. Thank you!!!

[@passionableaira3]

I love your videos and I bought the brushes, I was wondering if it's possible to maybe do a video that takes the same sketch and colours it in traditional watercolour on paper and also on Procreate with your brushes and perhaps go into a bit about techniques and settings to mimic real watercolour on paper. Thought it could be a unique video idea as I haven't seen this on KZbin yet.

[@mais_craftland5424]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@debbieangelstar]

Great video, love this piece of art 💕

My perfectionism could never. I so want to do stuff like this, but my brain won't let me

[@lavanyajulaniya5127]

Could you share the photo that you used so I can draw over it to practice?

[@zaccomusic]

good video friend

[@novemberrain2184]

Hello calvin! Can you please advice me on which canvas size should i use for high quality A3 ,A4 and A2 prints of procreate illustrations? Also do you recommend a printer and tips where the colors are as vibrant as the digital illustration? Please please answer me 😪

[@mchlup]

Look in the description. He has the printer he uses linked there. Hope you have some money saved up, it ain't a cheap printer.

[@user-fh4if7wi3x]

What is the brush you use to color🌟

[@lizzieb4963]

Hi..love this but I can't seem to download the free scratchy brush set or the Pumpkin set? How can I download?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much 🥰 I think those free brushes are hosted on MediaFire - it's possible it was blocked? Can you describe what happened or any error message you saw

[@lizzieb4963]

@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 Hi- when you click your hyper links for both it skips onto your next video..nothing downloads

[@AlexBrennan]

What size and dpi is your canvas set to?

[@tashsimpson5960]

What canvas size do you use

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

I'm using a paper texture sized to 4000px by 5000px. This means I can print it pretty large - over 30 inches tall in many cases.
