Watercolor Whale Tutorial // Procreate Watercolor Painting // How to use the Selection Tool

[@MysitcSoul]

Nice indeed. True artist. Your 12 minutes taught about 1 day material. Thanks much.

[@lesleywells3497]

So many great tips here- and very clear, easy instructions. TY

[@ElliScott]

The whale looks so stunning and the way you explained the selection tool was great! It convinced me to buy your brushes!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Wow, thank you so much 🥰

[@bluewatersarts2039]

Oh my gosh, the watercolor blending brush FAR exceeds expectation! Sooooo much better than the usual blending tool! Highly recommend!

[@ulicornprocreateartclub2617]

The brushes are phenominal!

[@Theartjoy]

I love your videos, I illustrate children’s books using watercolor on procreate. I have been erasing my edges the old fashioned way forever! I finally tried your selection trick and fussed with it for over an hour because it wasn’t working for me and I kept copy pasting the entire thing. I finally realized I had color fill selected 😂😂😂 thank you so much for the tips!

[@joycecase3760]

Another great tutorial on using the selection tool. Thanks so much, Calvin, for sharing.

[@michD130]

Your videos are so great! Just the right length. Just the right amount of explanation. Well done!!!

[@donjon11000]

Calvin - love your videos. Yesterday I downloaded your watercolour brushes. Completed 1 project (extremely happy) but today I was definitely having issues. You were so helpful and supportive and with a bit of brainstorming with you, I am back on track for another masterpiece. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next video. Donna.

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi Donna! Thank you so much for your support ❤️ in order for the sketch layer to be useful, you have to make sure it's set to 'multiply'. Can you messaged or email me about this? I really want to help you with this :)

[@Trainguy9000]

Great Tutorial!! These techniques should save SO much time. Thanks.

[@maryelizabethmartin3637]

What a great explanation! Thank you so much! Just what I have been looking for.

[@bumblebeeb708]

I don't normally buy brush sets but this one is awesome!

[@jwalzer]

Just purchased the brushes from the Etsy store and loving the channel!

[@aidanabilaramdzan834]

Cool tricks! Please make more procreate watercolor tutorials! Gonna get the brush set soon! 🤓

[@madamnland4876]

Thank a lot for making this video, You’re a good teacher!💖

[@creativebeestudios3192]

I always learn MUCH more than simply how to paint the project with your videos! Love them!

[@hugsy29]

Really fun to draw, thank you for the tutorial.

[@steffanierion]

You are AH👏🏻MAZING👏🏻. Thank you so much for the videos. I am not very good at drawing and painting or even a straight line for that matter. But I am trying to do new things and this has been so helpful. So much is like photoshop (I am a photog) and I was getting frustrated not being able to do it. You actually helped a lightbulb moment of something I was stumped on today! Thank you so so much. I am excited to “paint”!

[@bluewatersarts2039]

This looks amazing! I went right to Etsy and bought the brushes! Can't wait to try them out!

[@ScoutAndMcKenna]

Thanks Calvin. Another great tutorial. If possible can you teach how to draw realistic water ( rain, bubbles, sea foam ).

[@Paul-xj8ln]

SO GOOD!!!!

[@sweetflakes]

Just purchased your brush pack. Can’t wait to start using them!! Do you also do actual watercolor? If you do, I would looove video tutorials on real watercolor as well! Love your channel :)

[@odiegosouto1742]

thank youuuuuu

[@henrywest4005]

Awesome, just bought the brushes, question, how do you get the paper texture?

[@coltonwright5866]

Your brushes and papers are the best! Phenomenal tutorial as usual. On another note, what laser printer did you get? And did you use it to make that decal at the beginning?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Aww, thank you so much! Yes, I used the new printer to make that example in the beginning :] It's a canon imageClass mf643Cdw, one of the cheapest color laser printers available. I'll do a separate review of this once I figure out how to configure all the settings to get the best results.

[@coltonwright5866]

Calvin at DrifterStudio Thank you! Looking forward to it!

[@lucierangel39]

That was awesome! Thank you! ❤️

[@tj-js6xn]

Hey I bought the St. Petersburg paper texture and just wondering how to use it ?

[@GuilHelmus]

Hey Calvin, i finally had time to try this one, and its fun! Thanks again for a great video with good explanation. As my TS9150 Canon printer died 2 weeks ago i am looking for a new one. Is a laser really preferable over a inkjet these days for art prints?

[@aprilbreeze_8949]

Could you recommend a printer that prints that well? My hp later color printer died and I think it was due to printing on thick paper (about 180g~200g) I will print on 180g Max from now on. A printer that prints this well will do. Watching your tutorial was so helpful and it looks so fun, I can't wait to try out your brush kit. I've been looking for a realistic watercolor brush kit and water color paper effect for ages now and I think I will no longer have to look for one. Finally! Thank you! I subscribed and liked your channel!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much for your support :] I really recommend printing your artwork with a Laser Printer. I used this one in my videos: amzn.to/3q2mKk7 If you use a laser printer, you can print on any type of paper. Even very thick/cheap cardstock paper. The result is always amazing and vibrant, and the shadow areas will not blend together. The paper I buy only costs about $2 for 100 sheets. Also, the laser print is easy to maintain. If you have a printing problem, you can take it apart (carefully!) and usually see the issue. A laser printer does not have any complicated technology that can break/clog/ or wear out. laser print ink is expensive, but you will never worry about running out of ink because it will last for over 1000 prints.

[@justintime7739]

Adding a downloadable color palette would add a ton of value to these videos. Not that they’re not awesome already.

[@sylviamamaguel7357]

If you want to print images from procreate, do you need to change the color profile from RGB to CMYK? 😊

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! Usually it's fine to print RBG because most printers do a great job sorting out the colors. If you're having trouble with some colors, for example yellow is printing out sort of green, you can use another program to convert to cmyk. A lot of image editing software has features that can help. I also think there are a few apps that can do it to. Keep in mind that CMYK is an inferior color space - you can always convert your art to CMYK, but you cannot turn it back into vibrant RGB. This is why I prefer to paint in RGB. I can always change it to cmyk later :)

[@sylviamamaguel7357]

Calvin at DrifterStudio wah, thankyou Very much 😊😊

[@FingerTheLittle]

Hi, when I'm copying selection to a new layer the colours change (become more saturated). Do you know what might be the reason for that?

[@unicorn6187]

thanks for the tips in the video!

Do you use iPad 8th Gen 10.2inch?

[@nayrivera259]

This was wonderful! QUESTION: What kind of paper would you recommend printing these on? I have a few completed pieces using your products that I want to send off to print but have no idea what paper to choose...

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Aww, ty so much! Usually a printer will offer a few options. I recommend getting a 'Matte' print on heavy paper. Anything from 150gsm to 250gsm will be pretty thick paper. A playing cards is about 180gsm. Let me know what options you have and I can recommend something 😊 feel free to email me

[@wennii2331]

Does that water blending tool comes with the brush set you listed? Thanks!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Yes :)

[@georgievavelizara10]

I really love your lesson, but I have a problem with all selection tool’s options... I don’t know why, but I can’t use the feather option...i choose it and nothing happens...can u help me :(
