    One tip you missed with the color drop. Sometimes if your line art isn’t completely sealed, when you drop the color it can fill up the entire canvas as the color leaks out of the holes in the line art. You can control this by holding your pencil on the canvas. The color drop will go down after a second or two and before you lift the pencil off the screen you can drag the pencil left or right to adjust how aggressively the color drop will attack the edges.

    What you actually unknowingly taught me, was that you can adjust the Opacity Levels not only before the colour is aplied, but afterwards as well.
    You were doing it roughly around the 4:25/4:26 mark.

I had the old image you see here as the reference layer. I should have turned that off and switched my outline to reference! Your videos are really helping me and my son get the hang of Procreate and make some new art together.

    • @ghostpaper
      @ghostpaper  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brandon Prather-Young there could be two reasons - 1. You haven’t set your outline layer to reference (by mistake perhaps) or more possible reason 2. Your outline layer has holes (even a tiny hole in the outline layer can make it ‘leak’ into the whole background. I have a tutorial fix for that in my Procreate 10 tips for beginners video - please watch it, it’s in the section where I have a rectangle at the centre of the screen with a hole in the outline. Hope this all helps! Cheers!

    Ahh thank you for explaining the reference layer a bit! I’ve been working with Procreate for a couple years now, and with every update there are more and more things I get behind on learning.
    One thing that I really enjoy is the Gaussian Blur tool! It helps when I’m doing lighting or glowy effects, immensely! I’ll do a couple different layers. Using my base shape, I’ll copy/paste it onto my other layers for the effect. Then change the shade of each layer- either very slightly, or change it to a different colour completely- and blur them to different degrees. Then, I’ll lower the opacity on most of them, and merge them all into one layer. Perfect glowy effect, backlighting, or direct light!

    I recently started using this program for anime-style characters I make, and this will definitely speed up the coloring portion. Now I just have to get the initial outline layer in the first place. I don't draw often, so I'm not as steady with my lines yet. So far they're still as choppy and segmented as my sketch layer.

    Reaching up and grabbing the color is not intuitive. They need to update Procreate so it has a drop bucket tool. But I do like knowing about the reference layer.

    How did you create the shadows? Did I miss something?

    • @ghostpaper
      @ghostpaper  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I created other layers with multiply or overlay blending mode and started to paint the shadows using the selection from the fill, just watch the video at 0.5 speed if you think you are missing something 👍

    I see a lot of people having trouble doing literally everything in their power to make the color fill work, but it still spreading throughout the entire page. I think I just figured out a reason. I like to draw certain parts of the full lineart on separate layers, but if you reference that layer, then the layer by itself has to be enclosed. You can't just use a different layer as an enclosing. Idk if that made sense but that's the best way I can word what I mean.

    • @PaulaBean

      It might work if you adjust the fill strength while filling (keep the pencil down on the ipad and move it left and right to adjust strength).
