Drawing Comics in Procreate from Start to Finish

In this video I walk through all the steps I take to make a comic from beginning to end in Procreate using the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. I walk through how to make panels and how I like to do lettering all the way to the pencils, inks and colors.

The brushes I use are the Fude pen:

and for the textured color wash I used the Gwosh brush in this set

And if you want to know what tool I use to make my art or videos you can check that out here:

YO I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE LINES SNAPPING LIKE THAT THAT'S AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH???

[KevinTumlinson]

For the panel frames, I've been able to draw that frame and resize it, then duplicate it to a new layer and resize that. Once you have an entire page you can merge all those layers.

[SuperSanch]

Yes! I've been waiting for a video like this exact video. Would love for you to do more of these. Helps me learn a lot on how I can improve on using procreate.

Really helpful insight. Thank you for sharing.

I know this video is a few years old now. For the panel layout Canvas > Drawing Guide with Drawing Assist is likely a quicker method for the panels with the current version. Should mean less time drawing the panel lines and erasing as it can be done with the 2D grid as a guide and drawing assist will snap your line automatically.

Thank you so much. I've just recently started drawing on my iPad using Procreate and was unsure how to create comic panels. This was a great guide and I highly enjoyed the video :)

Lol at the "coloring like some kind of peasant" comment.

[salmabaig]

This is an amazing intro to drawing comics on Procreate. Thank you so much!

DUDE! If you want to use color drop on a new layer, create the new layer then drag the reference layer to the right with two fingers and you'll be able to fill in things on another layer

Man really like your channel. Your the reason I bought an iPad Pro. Love it thanks. It's the tool I bin looking for.

[Maxandmaury]

I have recently converted to using Procreate to create my comic strip (instead of pencils, inks, and Copics) and yeah, lettering is one of the hardest parts for me. Especially creating the word balloons. Thanks for the great video, I'll check out the brush and MediBang.

[Zerger]

Wow, so many layers of detail a peasant such as myself was unaware of.

[The-Ducky-is-Here]

Thanks for being committed to one program in this video!
The tips and advice were great.

[deletedjkcndsnsdnkcj]

this helped a lot since procreate is my only drawing program *thank you !!!*

[imogenbegns]

I like how I zoned out because I was reading the comic. Good comic.

[andyklyen]

Very useful demo thanks Brad - I want to create lots of rectangles and your method of drawing and resizing your panels was helpful. Thanks!

[CharlesMcKeever]

Excellent end-to-end walk through. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I love that you did everything in one app. Even with the challenges to create panels, it was a good show of what can be done in Procreate. After watching the video, it inspired me to draw for the rest of the evening. Btw, have you considered creating panels on individual layers so you can move them around and resize them? It might be worth having a collection of 'common' sizes to work with. You might even create a stock project that you could duplicate each time you start a new comic. Just something I was thinking as you were sharing the panel creation challenges. Thanks again.

Thank you for this informative video! I just discovered your channel and I quickly subscribed. I used to draw my own comics years ago and, while I wanted to pick it up again, I wanted to learn to use technology. I can't wait to get my drawing pad (from your reviews I recently read), and get started again! Again, thank you!

UPDATE- you can now draw a rough box in one go- do not take pen off-screen and hold and it snaps into a clean square shape.

[jaylinggoolsby]

I was wondering what brush you use... :)

[RichieVitale]

4:20 minutes and you mentioned Metiday for drawing panels. Can you please leave a link? Or is it even in existence anymore?
