Reconstruct Cells Tutorial, Procreate Digital Pour Art

[@sassybanjo3586]

I would create a duplicate layer if I’m worried about making a mistake.

[@vf7830]

This is great!! I noticed, though, that you can do the 2 finger tap to undo changes when you're in the Reconstruct tab. That way you don't have to start all over again!

[@digitalfluidart]

That is awesome, thank you for commenting so others know too. I never thought to use it because I always use my left hand to hit back space so I can keep drawing with right hand lol. Wish both options were available in liquify 💖💖💖

[@natasjastrufer8659]

Wow I just found you and did a poured painting this is better than making the real thing wow thank you for sharing this technique. I was totally addicted to pour painting when it first came out. I had a actual studio so it was ok to make the mess that you normally get with pouring paint. I’m now travelling around Australia in a caravan and I’m limited with what I can make. Thank you so much.

[@digitalfluidart]

I am glad you like them, and found some fun new ways to make art without the mess. I always wanted to do pour art but cost and the mess made it hard to want to make any pour art. Then came the inspiration to find a way to make them digital, thus digital fluid pours with cells was created. :P

Oh I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to do this! Ty!

[@kianamarrie]

Thank you for the help! ❤

[@meganannebutz4603]

❤ congratulations on getting started and thank you for sharing your contact 😊

[@Rassidan]

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for. Can't thank you enough for this.

[@digitalfluidart]

I am glad you like the tutorial :)

Awesome tutorial! Big help

[@spiraleyes2717]

Wow Amazing I thought of this idea yesterday didn’t know other people were doing it .Beautiful Art Thankyou

[@digitalfluidart]

I am gad you like it, I originated the ideas about 4 years ago now. Check out all the different cells tutorials I made. you can make, from reconstruct, expanded bubble, bubble, transparent bubble, marbled cells, multi bubble cells, and stamped cells are the cell techniques I created & are super fun to play with.

[@eageag7747]

oooh mine turned out really nice🤩. Glad I saw your comment about staying in Liquify...that's the key to Reconstruct working. Also, good to change the Size and drag it on some of the cells for variety. Two finger undo worked for me🙂

[@digitalfluidart]

That is awesome! 💚💚💚💚

[@DonAllenIII]

This is so incredible thank you so much for the tutorial. Super informative with the reconstruct tool I am so excited try this out! You rock thank you for sharing!

[@digitalfluidart]

I am so glad you liked it, making digital fluid/pour art is super fun :)

[@BcarvCreates]

Great tutorial, thank you for the help with the commentary!

[@digitalfluidart]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 💖

[@SKMArtCreations]

That's super cool!

[@digitalfluidart]

Thank you 💖

[@TheBronzeLifeChoseMe]

Since this has been made, you can go back by using the two finger method to undo, it helps if you know your quick tools by finger movements/taps

[@manisha-colorcreativityartwork]

hi. I love this acrylic pour. this is so great. I have a problem. When I tap on reconstruct , it didn't work even during the whole time of liquefy process. after exit and back to liquefy and did some little Push again, again reconstruct didn't work. I did on merged base and colored layers. one more thing, is the base layer separate from the colored layer or do both have to be merged?

[@digitalfluidart]

Hello. I find doing everything on one layer workd best. You can do separate layers but it will only move the paint on that layer nothing below. Keep in mind when in Liquify, the reconstruct only works where you have moved paint and the more it's moved around. Lightly shifting the paint won't have the same effect because it doesn't have enough paint to reconstruct. What you are doing is returning the paint to the original state before you moved it but in circles so it gives that cell-like appearance. I hope this helps. 💚💚💚

[@manisha-colorcreativityartwork]

@@digitalfluidart - yes. exactly I understood now. and there wasn't enough paint below too to give more cells (dots). Thanks a lot for reply. it helps. :)

[@chuchingchuang9312]

Can you teach making this effect as a seamless pattern?

[@digitalfluidart]

Hello, when making a seamless pattern the image may have sharp edges verses smooth edges, when mirroring it. For a seamless pattern, the easiest way is to make your canvas square 5000x5000. That way, once you are done your image, you can shrink it to 2500x2500 and multiply the image 4 times. Then rotate/flip them to fit around each other, which should create a seamless pattern. I hope this helps.

[@chuchingchuang9312]

@@digitalfluidart thank you for the advice. I think the difficulty is how to make edge matches right and left, and up and down when it comes to liquid effect, I know how to do in stripes but not sure about this effect in seamless form. 😂

[@digitalfluidart]

@@chuchingchuang9312 It is very quick, I'll try to make a youtube short doing it, it's all just rotating and flipping. Once I make the short I will tag you in the comments 💚

[@chuchingchuang9312]

@@digitalfluidart awesome 👏 thank you!

[@digitalfluidart]

@@chuchingchuang9312 I just uploaded a 1min 30sec video on how to make your digital fluid pour a seamless pattern

[@sharons.9992]

Love this tutorial! Thank you. Any tips on how to make my cells less filled with the nozzle drips I initially used to set the canvas up? :) I appreciate it.

[@digitalfluidart]

I am not sure what you mean? Can you explain in more detail? If I can help, I would love to! 💚

[@madamedebora4013]

Love it! Looks so cool :) By the way, you can use the two-finger-undo during Liquify!

[@digitalfluidart]

Hello, thank you. My tablet has been acting up and the two finger tap doesn't always work, so to make sure the video flows well I just use my left hand to back space. 💖

[@MADDIEG405]

How can we use this kind of technique to add to a drawn object? For example I draw a large flower and want to use my design that you just showed please

[@digitalfluidart]

If you want to "liquify and add reconstruct cells to the flower" I would do the line work on a separate layer. Colour a 2nd later underneath the line work. Liquify and cell the 2nd layer. Then erase any colour that spills out of the line work 💚

[@A-C_Creations]

Great video! Mine won’t work for some reason. I have tried this. I just use the flicks brush for cells for now. Update: I am able to do it now.

[@silverblue73]

I like the irony of so much work going into getting the same result as traditional which uses minimal effort

[@digitalfluidart]

With these you can make them as easy or as hard as you like. With real acrylic pours it isn't as easy as you would think, making the colours turn to mud is really easy & takes skill not to make it look muddy. 💖

[@crystaldj12]

Is 300dpi ok? Great teaching / learning. Also are you not using layers ? Thanks ♥️

[@digitalfluidart]

If you do not wish to sell your art you can use any DPI really. If you wish to put your art on clothing/products minimum is 350 DPI for most places. 600 is a good base. For doing NFTs or anything that needs higher quality 1000 DPI and saving files as PNG. 💚💚💚

[@sinemberk6696]

Hello . what is the name of the program

[@digitalfluidart]

Procreate

[@Gravxmansummnxr]

Ight look here bob ross you did not need to have such a smooth voice but thank you

[@surfandprotect]

The reconstruct doesn't work for me

[@digitalfluidart]

Hello. Could you make a video on here to show what is happening and tag me? You have to use the Program Procreate. And you have to stay in liquify the entire time to make reconstruct cells. For example. If u make a pour image with liquify and exit liquify to do something else, and then try to go back into liquify it won't work. Once u exit liquify, the paint sets. I am not sure if that is the issue or not you are having. Let me know if you make a video 💖
