Paint simple people with me 🥰 Illustration tutorial. Procreate tips and tricks for beginners

Let's listen to jazz and paint simple people in procreate! This method is a really fast and easy way to add a whole bunch of people to your artwork.
I used a combination of brushes and a paper texture for this project:
- Little pine brush (in the Drawing tab/Procreate Brush Library)
- Burnt Tree (In the charcoal tab/Procreate Brush Library)
-Fineliner Pen/Abstract Round/Water Blender (Amazing watercolor for procreate kit)
-Blacksands paper texture
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. This is not a critical thing and you can follow this video with any brushes or textures you might already have.
- Amazing watercolor for Procreate (brushes):
www.etsy.com/DrifterStudio/li...
- Blacksands Paper texture:
drifterstudio.etsy.com/listin...
All of these brushes/kits/textures come with very clear KZbin tutorials and you can also contact me directly if you need anything.
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 can earn money from KZbin ads, but I turn most of them off and it's only about $100 a month. I wanted to turn off ads entirely but KZbin is penalizing creators for that because it reduces youtube's revenue.
The background music is called 'Yestalgia' and I have a license from Artlist 🙏

i want 3 hours long videos of you just drawing such charakters. it's so amazing and at the same time so relaxing to watch.

[@snowyw2246]

Reading the info below the title makes me tear up. You are amazing!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

😂😂 thank you so much

[@madrg30]

Gosh, I love this so much.

[@startingoverbygrace]

This was so relaxing, and goes to show that art is an interpretation of one's creativity. No rules. Just create.

[@sadepennbrook]

Aaaargh! I finally found someone who struggles making poses, even with basic shapes, like meeee!! Hello twin!😅

[@LifewithMelanieB]

I don't know why but the thought of having to create so many layers really intimidates me. Since I am used to drawing on paper, I am trying to grasp the need for all the layers. But I need help learning shading and blending so thank you for helping me understand that part. I like the idea that I can use the freestyle tool.

[@kholilahdzatiizzah9317]
