[@theamarothman]

I just finished this. Took me 4 hours because I am really, really a beginner. I'm proud with the outcome. It's not perfect, but I did it.

[@MrKyGuy]

I just got an Apple Pencil for Christmas and got Procreate immediately. This was INSANELY helpful!!! Especially just so many basic functions that I’m sure advanced creators don’t even think about anymore. I will definitely be coming back to this channel more and more! Thank you!!

[@dplj4428]

I am here, right where i am, beginning again.❤

[@nickbutcool5643]

I learned more about Procreate by following your tutorial than I have on my own, and I've owned my iPad for about two years. It's very easy to become discouraged from drawing when you don't understand a program (me lol). Your video was immensely helpful in helping me retain this information by following along and actually seeing a final work. Thank you so much!

[@sortasamm]

Did this tutorial today plus the colorful bird one - I learned so much. I can’t believe your tutorials are free, they’re seriously amazing! Even if I don’t take the skill further than following tutorials, it’s still a relaxing way to spend time. Thank you so much for making these tutorials!

[@dzannamolly1475]

Flo, I cannot thank you for the detailed patience you provide for beginners. It truly matters

[@Andra_JD]

Thank you so much for the free tutorial!! Even though I draw a lot it feels good to make something different from one's usual style 😊❤

The result is stunning because you are an amazing teacher! ❤ And your color choices are divine 😊 Can’t wait to do the next one and hopefully one day have the creative energy again to come up with my own designs 💪 Thank you so much 💕

Yeaaah we did it!

[@GrewpFoto]

Hi Flo...off top = THANK YOU for the free education! Just wanted to drop a couple pennies on behalf of those of us who couldn't immediately locate the toot palette. Now yes, reading is the ultimate solve of the case :) but I think part of the problem is the palette link doesn't look like a link. Especially when there are other links that appear as regular links. Not saying there's any fault on your part, just speaking on why it was so difficult for me (and I think others) to find the link. Again, thanks for the free education!!!

[@angelarenae4188]

Me at work: “I am sorry I have to go home” Boss: “why?” Me at work: “because I need to do this tutorial” 😂😂😂

[@sumitrane1243]

Was thinking of starting sketching on iPad and I saw this video as it was uploaded!!

[@naamikas]

This really helps me, I don’t have procreate I think it’s called. I tried to guess because it said tips for beginning in procreate so yeah I guess it’s called procreate I don’t have it on my iPad, but maybe I’ll get it soon.

Hi can you give me the direct link for the color pallet? I think I must be dumb because I went to the one in description and downloaded the treasure chest full of them but "my first project" wasn't included in the download, unless it's found somewhere else and I'm overlooking. 😅

[@ArtwithFlo]

Make sure to follow the correct link in the description 😉 it’s not part of the treasure chest

Ah I found it! It looks more like a button then a link, haha forgive me I'm a bit old

How do you download the color palette?

[@jemflower1]

Great tutorial - thank you so much. I keep getting stuck just after I draw the tail. I go to grab the colour, but no matter where in the tail I drop it, it colours the whole canvas instead of just the tail. I’ve checked and I definitely have the layer 4 created specifically for drawing the tail. Help? 😊

I cant find the pattern, there are many i can download but how do I know the right one?

Is there another layer set to ‘reference’ perhaps?

How old are you?

[@StrangeChickandPuppo]

I am pretty new, and this is an okay tutorial, but it goes WAY too fast. You don't give enough time for us to find the thing to go to, grab a color, and do the move, etc, it just zips thru them without pausing for us to do it. I had to stop the video, backtrack, etc. After about the 20th time of having to pause, go back to where you did the thing 3 steps ago, watch up to then again and hope I can pause the video in time, backtracking, etc, I just gave up adding more layers for detail. Slow down! Let me get there, before you scamper off and do something else. I was constantly several steps behind.

[@ArtwithFlo]

I’m so sorry if I went too fast for you. It can help to set the video to 0,5 X speed 👍🏻
