- Do you wonder if you can use Procreate for professional work? Last October, the City of Madrid commissioned me to create the official illustration for the 2021 Madrid Navidad (Christmas) Campaign. The illustration was entirely done using Procreate and was printed on big-size billboards, posters all over the city during December last year. In this video, I will tell a bit about the story behind that illustration, show you guys how I set up my canvas in Procreate on my iPad Pro, the DPI I use, and the drafts I made for the campaign.

Hi guys! you ask a lot about if Procreate can be use to create client work and big size formats, so I wanted to share my experience working for the City of Madrid Christmas Poster campaign last year!
Your videos are extremely helpful and your work is just amazing. Thank you for this video it’s nice to hear what’s going on and how you managed to create such a beautiful art piece . ❤️❤️
Do you think procreate is ideal for logo/graphic designs too?
Thank you Annabel so much, so happy to hear that! I will be sharing more in the coming weeks :)
Totally :)
Art is as natural as sunshine and as important as nourishment❤️❤️
Totally 😊 arts are super important :)
@@AsiaOrlando ❤️
So so proud of you. I cant imagine the feeling of seeing your creations, yo he pasado navidad en Madrid y es lago espectacular. You inspire me so so much. I am bedridden and I have learn to be an illustrator from bed. I dream of the day I get to experience that someone wants my patterns. Congratulations 🎊
Thank you so much 😊 means a lot to me to be able to inspire somehow 🌱 I’m confident that if you are persistent that day will come as well, sending you all my positive vibes ⚡️🌱 y muchísimas gracias por el cumplido:)
Hi, I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing your work! I have a question. Did you work in RGB mode in procreate and changed to CMYK for printing later or did you work in CMYK mode from the beginning? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this video Asia. Very helpful
So happy to hear that helped :)
As always... magical work! Love that your pieces are created in procreate. It’s my favorite illustration app.
Thank you so much, you are so nice :) Procreate it’s also my favorite one ⚡️
I love the feel of your art, Asia! So relaxing to the eye and I also enjoy watching snippets of you drawing in your big ipad pro. 😍 more blessings to you & keep safe!
Thank you so much Faye 😊 so nice of you to say 🌱
Thank you for the detailed info Asia!
Respect from a fellow artist
Thanks 🙏🏼
So you had no issues using 150 DPI? Everything I see online says to use at least 300 DPI for large scale prints. Thx for your video:)
Bellisimo trabajo, felicidades!!
Muchas gracias 🙏
Hi Asia! Great video on using Procreate for large format illustrations. I recently did a video myself on the topic, but doing more of a comparison between how big you can go in Procreate vs Photoshop. I like that yours is more about the story of an actual illustration. I will definitely be sending people who ask about this subject to your video :)
Hi Asia I am not sure if you will see this. I am going through a bunch of your videos:) But thank you for sharing this. So helpful. I do have one question. When transferring your work to photoshop.. I don't have it but have illustrator, I notice the color changes. I am not sure why. Do you have this issue. Curious if it is because the color profile in procreate is P3?
I loved! I was missing watching your videos! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Kelly 😊 so nice of you to say :) new one coming next week March 10Th :)
Love your work as always and congratultion on your big work 💐🌱🌼
Thank you 🌱
Hi Asia !
New subscriber! I need your help, i have to start drawing tomorrow but i don’t know How to set the format.
I have to print a 100x140 digital illustration in a very large size, can i work with the sisez you said in the video ?
Thank you Asia
I would’ve loved to have seen it!!😊❤
Wow! Nicely done. I have one question please help me, I want to print my procreate artwork upto 24" 36" so what dpi should I set to get high quality print.thanks
really admirable work, but a technical question, as u said 150dpi, but what’s ur max dimensions?
Hi 👋 I show one example in the video with the size just on top of the DPI :)
im just new in using procreate , my dream is to be an illustrator for books and for my own artworks to convert to a digital form because I just started my online business which is not yet gaining from it yet. I was sick last year and now im home in my own studio and im so happy to find you , im also in the netherlands. thank you for sharing this.
Thanks :) I hope my videos help 😊 building it takes some time ... keep it going all the very very best :) thank you for watching
Asia - great video - I use Procreate and Photoshop - what did you do in Photoshop for the client prep to get it to high resolution - are you able to simply increase the Procreate 150 dpi resolution to say 300 ? and how do you do that ? could you do a follow on video or similar on converting a low dpi 150 in Procreate and upscaling it ? that would be so helpful :)
Scaling from 150 dpi to 300 is not something possible that I'm aware of, as you would be adding more dpis, more "pixels" to the same space. What you can do is to go from 300 dpi to 150 dpi when increasing size for example, which is normal. Bigger pints do not require so much ppi so there's less visual quality lost ...
hi love, I need to make a poster I can print to be 18x12 inches how would I go about this
thank you
Hey, I'm wondering; my girlfriend is very new to digital art, and somewhat new to art as a whole.
I want to get her an iPad, but I'm unsure of whether to go with the Air or Pro... I do not have a lot of money, but I can justify the purchase because she's demonstrated such passion for art.
Like I said, she is a beginner, should I go with the air for now, and upgrade to the pro if she needs?
That’s so nice of you, I think that the Air is perfect :) either way just wait a few weeks till Apple announce the new ones 😊 might be cheaper afterwards
@@AsiaOrlando I will go with the Air for now, I need to purchase another one in coming months for a job I'm going to be working at. So when the new Pro comes out, I'll purchase that also. If she wants to trade we will hehe ☺️
Sounds perfect for sure she will love it 😊it’s a great tool
Muy buen trabajo!!
Muchísimas gracias Gerardo 🙏🏼
@@AsiaOrlando gracias a ti por tus videos!
Hello! What colour profile did you set the artwork on for the printed version on the billboards?
Hi 👋 CMYK for printing 👍
Hi, Asia! Congratulations on this great project! BeautifuI art as always! I love watching your videos, great tips and stunning illustrations! I've always wondered, how do you export big files from procreate to psd and bring them to PC? I'm working with canvas approximately 210×297 mm with 600 dpi resolution, the files are about 500 mb. Saving finished pieces to Google Drive takes hours and when I download them to my computer (windows) afterwards the files turn out to be broken and Photoshop doesn't open them. You're working with big formats, perhaps, you have faced the same problem? If so, what method are you personally using to bring your files to PC, if it's not a secret? I'm thinking of buying a lightning USB connector, but not quite sure if it'll work in my case.
Hi Helen how are you, thank you so much! Not a secret at all :) I use my Samsung SSD drive when I have to move larger files, and it’s just a few second :) and never issues with loosing data or corruption 👍🏼 hope it helps
@@AsiaOrlando thanks a lot, I will consider buying an ssd drive! 😊🙏🏻
Can I ask why you are doing it at 600 DPI at that size? Usually 300 DPI would be fine for a 210x297mm size. Unless eventually you are going to print the artworks at a bigger size? It also is about the viewing distance. So if people are going to see something in a big billboard they will never be close to the item to see all the fine details so you can get away with less of a DPI like in Asia's example 150 DPI.
Very nice, what ipad pro do you have please to reach these dimensions? Thank you, Max
It’s the 2020 iPad Pro 4th gen 👍
@@AsiaOrlando Thank you Asia :)
I love your style. And thanks for the useful tips. Did you also make the animations on Procreate? Thanks!
Thank you so much Alicia 😊 the animations were done by the design team from Madrid, they did an amazing job bringing my illustrations to life 😊
How did you manage in 6 layers? What if the client came with changes and you couldn't undo?
The truth is, when you draw on paper or canvas you have one layer, they way I see it is that I have 5 extra :)
@@AsiaOrlando omg 🥺 love it
i hope i can meet you in the future and im your big fan now
I’m trying to create an illustration for a billboard that is 24ft x 12 ft…what would I have to set my pixels to in this case?
i'm in a similar situation, 19ft x 6ft, that's how i end up in this video.
Did you discover a way to do it?
I always thought that 300 dpi was the standard for print. What am I missing?
For most print and editorial work, yes, but for bigger pieces no need to - billboard you see in the street are seen from far away, they don’t need 300 DPI
that is so awesome. the illustrations are beautiful! but howwww were you able to do it only using 6 layers?? did you already have a sketch that was basically the final and then you just pretty much knew the color placements already?
Hi Claire! Thank you very much! I’m used to working this way, when working on paper I only have one “layer” so it’s not a problem😊 6 layers can be luxury sometimes, depending how you look at it😉
Hi Asia, if it’s not a commercial secret, how do you control 100% resolution/look of the illustration, to be sure that it’s not pixelated?
Hi Roger, it’s not a commercial secret⚡️the answers it’s in the video. Use the higher DPI possible, and 1.1 scale and loss of quality won’t be an issue 👍🏼
@@AsiaOrlando thank you for response, but where did you found 1:1 scale function? Official developers team don’t think that it is important feature. Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop have 100% resolution view feature. But in Procreate it is a problem. There is a standard 300 DPI for printing. And “finding maximum dpi” always is a balance between software features and hardware possibilities. So this is not the way to work. That’s why I don’t understand why Procreate is such popular in comparing to other programs and wonder how people work with this software professionally.
For 1:1 scale you just create the canvas with the exact measurements as the final art, so it’s fairly easy. And DPI for printing is relative to the size. For example most billboards use lower resolutions and PPI instead of hi-DPI count. Procreate is just perfect for everything, that’s why so popular :) it’s not buggy, it’s intuitive, it’s professional quality and accessible to most without a huge cost barrier 👍🏼
@@AsiaOrlando understand. Thank you. I highly recommend you to try Clip Studio Paint. This is the program, that Japanese people use for their manga and anime. It looks much more powerful than procreate. And, at the same time, it needs less hardware resources. Raster and vector graphics, official assets like brushes and materials from marketplaces, also a lot of free staff and everything allowed for commercial use. And you will be not limited with a few layers like in procreate.
Thank you so much will definitely have a look at it 👍thanks a lot Roger
Thank you so much for sharing! This is truly inspiring :)
Can anyone please help me with my question: I have created a new document 6969px x 9449px but I have DIP 300 and the physical dimentions are different (in my case 590mm by 800mm) What am I doing wrong? (iPad pro 2gen)
Hi Barbara, might work best to create the canvas using the dimensions instead of pixels 👍🏼
Though it had to be 300 dpi
Not really :) for big billboards and posters 150 DPI works fine, as it's seen from a very long distance, 300DPi it's for smaller sizes. :)
@@AsiaOrlando Yep sometimes you can even get away with less.
Your illustration in the city poster? You must be good👍
Hello, Really u do great great work,, beautiful art you do as always.loved it.I wanna ask can i have ur mail id to ask few questions as i have already doing illustrations. Waiting for your reply.. thanks..
