Paint simple people with me 🥰 Illustration tutorial. Procreate tips and tricks for beginners

Let's listen to jazz and paint simple people in procreate! This method is a really fast and easy way to add a whole bunch of people to your artwork.

I used a combination of brushes and a paper texture for this project:
- Little pine brush (in the Drawing tab/Procreate Brush Library)
- Burnt Tree (In the charcoal tab/Procreate Brush Library)
-Fineliner Pen/Abstract Round/Water Blender (Amazing watercolor for procreate kit)
-Blacksands paper texture

The watercolor brushes and the paper texture are products I sell on my etsy store to support the channel. These tools help you create organic looking watercolor-textures in Procreate. This is not a critical thing and you can follow this video with any brushes or textures you might already have.

- Blacksands Paper texture:

All of these brushes/kits/textures come with very clear YouTube tutorials and you can also contact me directly if you need anything.

If you cannot afford the brushes/texture, please message me on my Etsy store in the links above and I can help you. I love to teach art and help traditional artists try out digital painting. The income from the Etsy store helps this project be financially sustainable.

I can earn money from YouTube ads, but I turn most of them off and it's only about $100 a month. I wanted to turn off ads entirely but YouTube is penalizing creators for that because it reduces youtube's revenue.

The background music is called 'Yestalgia' and I have a license from Artlist 🙏

i want 3 hours long videos of you just drawing such charakters. it's so amazing and at the same time so relaxing to watch.

I don't know why but the thought of having to create so many layers really intimidates me. Since I am used to drawing on paper, I am trying to grasp the need for all the layers. But I need help learning shading and blending so thank you for helping me understand that part. I like the idea that I can use the freestyle tool.

This was so relaxing, and goes to show that art is an interpretation of one's creativity. No rules. Just create.

Really great tutorial, I especially liked the "trick" on making people look like they are moving.

7:50 is so relatable.
I'm not good at picking colour but I know one when I see it

I have your videos playing in the background as I'm working on my own illustrations in Procreate to subliminally take it all in! Of course, I have watched the videos properly before!
