Procreate Cartoon Tutorial: From Sketch to Finished Design!

[@CraigBabin]

I still remember the first video of yours that I watched, I think it was "Digital Art 101", I remember you were drawing a turkey. It had to be about 2 or 3 years ago. And I remember thinking, what a great cartoon drawing style you have and I hoped your channel would get big and that you wouldn't quit before it did. It's nice to see your channel doing so well. Great traditional style cartooning artists are in short supply on KZbin, I'm glad you stuck around. Your work is a big inspiration.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks, Craig! Appreciate you sticking around for all this time! ❤️👍

[@lemmingwrangler]

Literally just started learning digital art with Procreate, and this was my first tutorial. Every step so clear and easy to follow, and I'm already chuffed with the results

[@Flite999]

omg...my jaw dropped when you dragged the color to the picture and it filled in automatically. Picking up so many cool shortcuts in this video (yes I am a new Procreate user). Thank you!

[@alexnewmann25]

Thank you! After all those years I did a good art thanks to you

[@englewood9377]

I am a 70 year old illustrator who has decided to take the Procreate leap! Thank you, thank you for assisting me in learning this program. You are helping me so much!

[@Urbestieivy]

Wow. Just did this. Thank you so much for breaking down the layers! It was so confusing. But I did it and it’s awesome! Thank you!!

Love from Indianapolis, Indiana. Son of an artist named Donald Walton… This video has blessed me … thank you 🙏🏼

[@mindovermuzic]

This takes me back to art class in high school. Enjoying learning this. Waiting on my apple pencil so I can download Procreate and start doing graphics. Thanks

[@fitsumaberatsehay]

Great work, BJD, and very best way of teaching. With love from Ethiopia 🇪🇹.

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@jadeclayson7490]

Massive thanks - I am learning SO much watching your videos. Appreciate your efforts 💕

[@DavidNeal]

Thank you! I'm so glad I watched your video. I learned how to use Reference + Recolor. Daggum, I've been doing it the hard way for years!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Hahaha! Well, better late than never…glad I could help! Thanks for watching 👍

[@jakenastysnake]

I’m just starting out with Procreate on my iPad. Watching your videos is helping me learn the ins and outs really fast. You’re very good!

[@rhondamoore9842]

New to Procreate, and I’m really enjoying going through your videos!

[@katiehoeppner5234]

Thanks again! Today I finally get how recolor works…. Plus, what a fun grumpy fish!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Recolor is super handy…such a time saver!

[@danielmason1326]

Happened across your channel a couple weeks ago , and have been binge watching when I can … love your work, and really appreciate the in depth tutorials with procreate … thank you :) Will be giving a couple of them a shot soon …

[@angeloterracciano8222]

That was soooooo helpful. Things I did not know were doable in procreate. 👏🏼

[@engimo5253]

i am happy because I requested this and u told me its on the list , THANKS

[@BeeJayDeL]

Glad I could come through 😉

[@artat777]

You make it look so easy. Amazing video.

[@marcschwertfager4986]

My favorite sketching technique: 1. Create a black silhouette first. (Helps me in focusing entirely on proportions.) 2. Lower opacity of previous layer, add a new layer and create my first sketch over. 3. Again, lower opacity of previous layer, add a new layer, then refine, adjust and add a bit more detail. 4. Repeat step 3, until satisfied. 🙂 I find creating new layers of sketches in steps helps me create "Save Points", if you will, in my project in case I want to revert back to a certain point. Also, thank you for sharing your process with us. It is very interesting to see how others work and very helpful as well!

[@simmo5071]

Easy to watch hard to do. Creativity isn’t something we all have, great job really enjoyed this 👍

[@milofalconi9533]

Thank you! this was great!!! I needed help using the tools more than anything. awesome

[@sidneyjohnson1965]

This was pretty cool. I have been messing with procreate for a little while now and I like your process. Thanks for the lesson.

[@bullshark1152]

Love it. Very nice tutorial.. thanks.. 😁👍🤜

[@the_puppy_diaries]

I have just discovered your channel and I love it! These awesome videos help me draw and learn more about procreate. Keep it up!

[@maryannemavia9740]

Thanks i will try it when i get my iPad, keep doing the good work that you do. i literally want an iPad pro just to follow your tutorials. Thanks

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks! Feel free to follow along with pencil, paper, and markers/colored pencils in the meantime!

[@liesbeth9810]

If you want to safe a little money, the iPad Air 2020 is really close to the iPad Pro, just a lot cheaper. Haven’t been stumbled anything I can’t do with this iPad Air (also have seen many reviews from professional artists that were amazed by how good this iPad is, which was enough for me to decide to go with the air 2020 and save some money).

[@maryannemavia9740]

@@liesbeth9810 Thanks

[@maryannemavia9740]

@Let's Draw with BeeJayDel, I have been following for months with pencil and paper. Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep creating. Oh and one more thing is 7th gen iPad good? It's the cheapest where I'm from. it costs (610 dollars US). AND THE PENCIL IS 180 USD. AGAIN IT IS THE CHEAPEST COMPARED TO THE AIR- (900+ USD )

[@jkbidkar]

Love to watch and learn from you.like your art style easy and fast.

[@suspendedhatch]

Eventhough there’s some good stuff in this space, this is high quality and much needed content. I would love to see some more cartoon styles- Hanna Barbera, Tex Avery, Anime/Manga, Chibi / Kawaii, modern graphic design, Genndy Tartovsky I am just starting out but if my stuff all ends up looking the same, I’m going to fall into a rut very quickly.

[@TerryMinorJr]

Perfect content for procreate!!! Thanks for bringing the high quality heat! Haha 🔥🔥🔥😎

[@camwinks5312]

Brilliant tut mate!

[@madmaddux5769]

Just finished this using your tutorial and brush set! Messed up a few things but this is so fun! Can't wait to do more!

which brushes set I need to buy from your website to draw along with your cartoon tutorials? Please provide a direct link. Thank you!

[@patricia.antlitz]

amazing

[@AverageChap]

How does your inking lines make such a good curve or is it because I Suck lol? It looks like it snaps onto the sketch and curvs really well

[@beegee3605]

you are AMAZING YO!

[@donnacline6618]

I love your tutorials. Any advice on how what to do with the art we create using your technique? Not your art, our own characters?

[@BeeJayDeL]

So many things you can do using the technique to make your own characters…t-shirts, stickers, coloring books, clip-art…sky is the limit!

[@believablyme]

I know this is old, but wondering if there is a reason you chose that brown and pale yellow as your shadow and highlight color? I’m always curious how ppl decide vs using black and white

[@wademichalski768]

Got drunk and drew a fish on my iPad that was fun thanks!

[@mishelport9442]

[@valleymount]

Love your work! How do yo do fonts? Do you write them yourself or do you use the text function? if you use procreate or photoshop…

[@rachellamming4989]

Can a 10th gen ipad handle procreate for caricature ? Sorry for the newbie question. I'm noticing most digital artists use the iPad pro

[@theswisscottagepickeringuk]

Hi. I cant find your brush pack? Can you point me out to link? Thanks x

[@cedrics7374]

Thx

I wish I can buy your brush pack

[@chrysanthuspatrick8015]

Hi, please, how do you put in more colour shading layers... because you only did the base colour and 1 shade colour layer.

[@ronaldschippert884]

How do you keep the lines so clean when inking? I am having trouble with that.

[@phanendrareddy99]

Thumbnail picture has lot more details and shadows adjusted 😀

[@BeeJayDeL]

Yup…a very deliberate choice for an experiment 😉😂

[@korrinanolan8665]

You should do 50 disney Characters drawings

[@angpal59]

thats awesome, i bought it downloaded it but cant use it, i cant unzip it

[@seriouslee4119]

Aren't you supposed to combine all the layers at the end or something? How d'ya get the final image out of it? 😅 Edit: Nevermind, found it 😅😅 Tap Tap Actions > Share > Procreate, then select a destination for your file.

Clipping mask did not do anything when I changed it. What did I do wrong :(

Hi, can you make a balaclava tutorial, please ❤

[@iamkingdarrius5034]

Does anyone know how he’s sketching this with sort of the side of his apple pen?? For some reason mines does a very light mark and will not get any darker if I don’t put the actual point of the pen on the pad…my apple pen is 2nd gen and brand new btw..

[@gregoryrschelskejr7207]

During the inking process, your outlines almost seemed to snap-straighten and correct themselves of any flaws. Is this a feature unique to ProCreate? To me, this feature is the difference that adds an element of perfection to the drawing. Please share.n

Did you always have this artistic mindset or was it just practice and practice because I would love to draw cartoons like this, I've tried alot of your videos like that karate hippo but I try on my own and it comes out pathetic...

Definitely practice…just keep at it!
