Raw footage of drawing session: How to paint a cute duck in Procreate

Raw, unedited footage of me painting a cute duck in Procreate! Often we see these amazing polished and accomplished tutorials. But the truth is, most tutorials are rehearsed which means you don't get to see the mistakes or decision making it took to get to the final result!
So I decided to record one of my drawing sessions and upload the raw, unedited version of the recording. It does mean that there's no narration, as it was one of my private sessions, but i hope it's still helpful to you.
Enjoy!
Brushes used: AquaReal 2 which is available in my shop at the below link:

Gosh Lisa, I can watch you all day. I’ve learned so much and you inspire me to keep improving my skills and not give up on my dreams of illustrating my own children’s books and more. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done because I’ve been so lost.

[@Lisaglanz]

So SO happy you are inspired to keep going and improving! You will definitely achieve your dream, with each drawing session you move closer and closer to your goal 😘❤️

[@paperandparcel]

Thank you so much for posting an unedited version of your work!!!! It's so refreshing to see your mistakes and decision-making instead of a well rehearsed version. This is extremely helpful especially with artists that deal with perfectionism - like myself. I'd love to see more post like this - even if it's just a quick short and without narration.

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you enjoyed that! And I'm so happy it was refreshing for you! We always see the polished version online, never the messy steps it took to get there 😊 I'm hoping to do more of these for sure!

[@catalinarr]

Thank you very much Lisa for this incredible tutorial, you can't imagine how much I appreciate seeing errors because it encourages me to keep going, since when you don't have that much experience the errors are millions and sometimes you think you should give up, that you will never make it. Thank you very much for your generosity!!

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad it was helpful! Please don't give up! We all go through those agonising growing pains but eventually they pass and your drawing sessions become easier and easier. You'll be a pro before you know it!

[@martaroseart7292]

Your brushes are my favorite! I really enjoy working with them. ❤ Thank you so much for the new tutorial!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that. It's so wonderful to read your comments, I'm super happy you enjoy using them.❤️🤗

[@sadepennbrook]

I wish you uploaded more drawing sessions 😞

[@Lisaglanz]

Good news! I've just uploaded a new tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX-wd6yLfMaae68 Enjoy xx

[@sohasalama3129]

Hi Lisa, Thank you for sharing your process. It so encouraging to try and test freely without stressing on having everything perfect.

[@Lisaglanz]

Yes absolutely!! I think creating art is meant to be filled with lots of experimenting and having the freedom to change things if we want. That's when the magic happens!

[@kokooned]

Lisa thank you so much for sharing this! I was always so frustrated that it takes me forever to pick a colour for shadows! It’s good to see that it is not necessarily as obvious as I thought (and was beating myself up about 😂) Another super cute character! So adorable 🥰

[@tracystenhouse7693]

Lisa, what a lovely character. Love watching your process. ❤

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed watching xx❤️

[@MeredithHammett]

Goodness, I love your work. Feeds my soul.

[@Lisaglanz]

Wow, thank you! That's the best compliment 🤗❤️

[@deliritori]

Thank you so much for the much needed inspiration to draw characters!😀 I'm a food illustrator yet I would like to incorporate more characters to interact with the food I draw and I am so intimidated by trying to create characters though I've tried here and there a couple of times. I suppose the best thing to do is just practice, just do it!😉

[@Lisaglanz]

Yes absolutely! It's always going to be frustrating at first when the gap between what you see in your mind and what you produce on paper is so different! but keep going because with each session that gap get's smaller. Start with simple bodies/shapes to represent the character and focus on the expression, this will give you good results while you improve the body shapes and limbs.

[@kathleenhartegilsenan1534]

Thanks so much. It’s great to see your decision making and experimentation as you go along.

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you enjoyed that!🤗❤️

[@palomafrancis7082]

I just love your work. Thank you

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that ❤️🤗

[@alvirosy]

I really love your brushes by the way! 😊

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much!! So happy you love them ❤️🤗

[@melissalovesart]

Love everything that you do.

[@Lisaglanz]

Aww! Thank you, that means a lot xx❤️

[@karenluhning2491]

I would love to watch this with commentary! I loved watching this but still have problems understanding some of the steps with your layers and the blending modes. Love your work and your brushes!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you! I'll definitely try and load more tutorials soon with me guiding you 😊

[@maureendietlin3479]

I love your duck!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you! He sure is a quirky one! 😁

[@842084208420]

Very fascinating!!!❤

[@Lisaglanz]

Glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@you.m44]

Super adorable!💕 I love watching you paint and I always learn something new from you🦆 I never knew Gradient Map Tool existed in Procreate! Neat. It seems like you don't have to tweak the blue line on the top, but rather it's easier to swipe/scroll(?) the whole canvas area🐥

[@Lisaglanz]

Oh my goodness!! Here I've been trying to grab that tiny blue line all along! Thanks so much for the tip! Never occurred to me to just try the canvas area 😅 Glad we could swap tips 😊

[@anastasiapopova547]

Thank you! I thought that it is something wrong with me, because I spend soo much time on choosing palette/blending mode/brushes etc))

[@Lisaglanz]

Definitely nothing wrong with you 🤗❤️ Sometimes I can spend more time doing that than drawing!! 😅 Hope this gives you more confidence to trust your process 😘

[@clausdc]

This is a marvelous tutorial ‘cause you show us that an illustration has a lot of work behind (not so easy I think). Where can I check the color palettes you used in this particular case? I would love to try it too. 😊

[@Lisaglanz]

So glad you enjoyed it! You can get the same palette I used from the Treasure Trove (the subscriber area on my website): www.lisaglanz.com/the-treasure-trove/

[@TracysArt]

Cute character!

[@Lisaglanz]

Thank you so much!

[@inka5663]

Hi Lisa, which canva did you use in this illustration?

[@Lisaglanz]

I used the Let's Draw Canvas which you can download for free in the Treasure Trove subscriber area on my website: www.lisaglanz.com/the-treasure-trove/ Hope that helps!

[@inka5663]

Thank u so much! 🤍 ​@@Lisaglanz

[@pastuh]

Video is x2 speed up, so looks like slow painting.. That means everyone can do it

[@Lisaglanz]

Yes absolutely! Everyone can do it!

[@zeldinart]

Lisa, thank you so much for this raw video! Can I request the similar video but with Messy Paint Box set? I noticed you only have 1 tutorial video for said set, and I still can't use to its full potential yet. I'm such an idiot 🥲

[@Lisaglanz]

Not an idiot at all!! Painting in a loose style is actually harder than we think because we tend to want to "control" the outcome too much. It takes quite a bit of practice to let go and just paint freely. I'll definitely try and do more tutorials with the messy paintbox set soon!
