Illustrating with Layered Texture and Color in Procreate

Illustrating with Layered Texture and Color in Procreate

In this class, you’ll learn how to use layered texture and color to add depth and visual interest to your illustrations.  How to create textures. How to use texture to create highlights and shading, and how to use single and multi-colored textures to bring out warm and cool tones in your illustrations.

If you watch this class you get all of the texture brushes. I created one that will help you add multi-dimensional texture to your work.  The set includes 12 different textures that range from bold scratches and scrapes to subtle water spots and speckles. 

In the class, we’ll look at a lot of different ways to layer texture on illustrations. You can find a texture process that works for your personal style.  I’ll share loads of ideas for illustration topics and reference images with you. You don’t have to start from scratch.

First, we’ll create a simple fruit illustration and look at how to use texture to add highlights and shadow to shapes.

Next, we’ll use a multicolored texture process to bring out warm and cool tones in your drawings. We’ll look at ways to use colored textures to take a flat illustration and give it beautiful highlights, shadows, and variation.

Next, we’ll combine all of the texture processes we covered in class to create a detailed multi-layered illustration.  

All you need to take this class is your iPad and a stylus.  I’ll be using the Apple Pencil. You could use any stylus or even your finger.
