Pink Flowers

This flower illustration was using different brush tools for some texture.  The one thing I love about Procreate is the fact there are still techniques to learn.  I love being able to play without having to start something completely over again.




Steps Involved

1 - Line Drawing


2 - Base Colors using line drawing as a reference and working on layer below.  Color added by dragging and dropping a flat color.  Also used the eraser and the MWC Light Wash #7 brush tool tapping for some texture.


3 - Removing (unticking) the Line Layer.


4 - Adding middle tone color to flowers using the Soft Airbrush brush tool.


5 - Adding middle tone color to the leaves using the Soft Airbrush brush tool.


6 - Darks on flowers and adding centers.  Still using the Soft Airbrush brush tool.


7 - Darks on Leaves and adding cast shadow.  Soft airbrush brush tool.


8 - Finishing touches which include a layer with white to line some of the edges of the flowers; layer of blue over a few leaves; layer of gold on a couple leaves; and a layer using white and the MWC Splatter Wash #2 brush tool for added texture over flowers and leaves.  Also adjusted the color saturation of the top two smaller leaves as they looked too gray.



9 - After thinking I was finished, I decided to make a couple of changes.  I added a touch of blue to a few of the flowers for some variation and darkened areas on the leaves.
