CHARCOAL in PROCREATE - Brushes and Techniques

Рет қаралды 52,266

Күн бұрын

This has been one of my requested art guides I've been asked to make. My most well-received pieces and the style MOST people know me by now revolves around my gritty art style. I accomplish this by each of my pieces going through the "charcoal" phase in procreate. I use various texture brushes and smudge brushes and I employ techniques used by charcoal artists to achieve a certain look.

the details are insane wow, you deserve more subs man and I appreciate the default brushes since some artist just make you buy their brushes for you to follow what they do and a lot of them are not really cheap

@FetteHenne2009 Жыл бұрын

That is such a cool approach for dark art. I really love how your brain works. At this point i am trying to unsee the line to be more flexible and less strict with my art. This tutorial was a great help on that. And as a big plus it covered my most favorite traditional medium of all times. I'll love to try this in procreate.

Thank you so much for such a helpful video! I love that you used the default brushes for this, it makes it a lot more accessible. I stumbled across your video as I'm planning to try a charcoal like drawing in Procreate (I'm doing some illustrations for a poetry anthology, and the next poem has pretty dark themes), and I'm feeling a lot more confident and excited to start now after watching your video! Thanks again :D

I've just finished my first charcoal drawing with the 60% of your stream viewed. It was an skull and I used a reference image because I don't have any experience. I can say that I'm a perfectionist. And it is wrong when it comes to draw something because I always think that it need something else to finish. That's because I didn't finished the 99% of my drawings in the past. But now with charcoal and your masterclass of it I can say it's teaching me to be less perfectionist and exigent with my art and it helped me a lot to finish my first charcoal drawing (it was an skull) and it looks awesome. Now I will practice more and learn more about this beautiful art. Thanks for share your knowledge with us. Greetings from Argentina!

This was great! I've done traditional art in the past and recently switched to Procreate. Still learning because I'm a noob. When I tried charcoal traditionally it was so messy that it drove me nuts. I might give charcoal a go on Procreate! I love how you used the default brushes and your explanations are great. How do you add colour to charcoal without ruining it? You mentioned something about adjustments.

I got an iPad for school (cyber security) but have wanted to work on my drawing for a long time. I'm a super ultra beginner and not good at all. I am missing many of the fundamentals but I am looking to start trying to learn. I did one decent charcoal piece and I love the style. I found procreate and it's been really helpful but I feel I'm missing a lot of basics many other people have because they knew how to draw before digital. I would love to learn with digital but haven't found a ton of beginner stuff, is there anything you can recommend for someone starting as a beginner? I would love to work in the charcoal style and if you are familiar with the guild wars 2 art style I would love to work up to that one day. Any suggestions would be awesome. Great video fyi keep up the good work

@furgus1356 23 күн бұрын

Few questions.. this is definitely the style I’d like to draw in: What should be my skill set before trying this. I’m just getting into art - about 6 months and have pretty basic ideas with anatomy and such. What should I practice - specifically to learn this stuff. I know in general drawing will help but what’s the best way to go about it. As much advice as anyone reading this can give would be very much appreciated 😊

I've been trying for hours to recreate the Old Beach brush in Krita after seeing it in this video, and unfortunately I can't seem to get the effect down. It has the exact aesthetic I like in my art, and the only way to do it is with supplementary brushes and very deliberate strokes. It's so frustrating and time-consuming. :( Anyway, just wanted to say I really enjoyed the video and love your art style, keep it up man!

Thanks for all the effort in showing your workflow and techniques. Some years back I fell in love with Manga Studio/CSP’s brush engine; looking at this makes me (more than ever) happy to use Procreate. I just wish Apple would make an ‘artist edition’ Pencil or screen, with some tooth/bite and friction. I’d drop my Wacom in a second, as screen protectors just don’t cut it (and please don’t mention Paperlike, craaazy dear for what it is🤔)… Thanks again!

This was awesome! Been a fan for a long while, but just started using Procreate and wanted to change up my styles. Can you do a video on how you use/add color to your pieces? Would you add it over the charcoal “sculpture”?

@Gammatrap 3 жыл бұрын

Sure thing! And you can either go the "blending mode" approach of overlay and multiply layers, use gradient maps, or just straight up paint colors over it. Usually I either start with a blending mode layer then color pick on a new layer afterward, but it's best to experiment :)

@lettn2mec636 3 жыл бұрын

@@Gammatrap you replied! 🤩Thanks so much! I found one of your old videos from last year about using gradients after I sent that lol. What makes you use Photoshop over Procreate and visa versa? I saw that you sometimes use both for a piece, but wasn’t sure at what stage you chose to use either. I’m assuming I have less control over gradient maps and colors in Procreate.
