I've been drawing all my life, but my drawings never got past the line art and base colors because I could never get the hang of painting and blending. But this tutorial was VERY helpful, now I have a better understanding of how to practice these techniques and hopefully apply them in the future. Thank you!
You mention the Flo Brush - I don’t see that as a brush in Procreate - is there a different name? Thanks for this great tutorial. Very well done and easy to follow.
That’s what sucks must about procreate there’s really few brushes you gotta make your own or buy them from others which sucks big time, it’s way easier with ibis paint
@@jonafave8167 idk what u r talking about 1. procreate already has A LOT of already installed brushes, there's over 200 brushes that they give u for free! 2. at least u can make brushes in procreate, u can't do that in ibis paint!
Just bought the ipad mini 5 today and I'm so excited that I can finally use Procreate！Thank you for your tutorial， hope I'll get use to procreate quickly.
hi Flo, which brush did you use for blending ? Can you please do a watercolour tutorial ? I find blending watercolour also very challenging. Dank je wel!
Thank you so much! =^o^= I'm still learning how to use Procreate, and can't find any good blending tutorials out there yet! I never thought to lower the opacity for the blending brush, definitely will give that a try!
Thanks for unique ways to achieve blending. I appreciated being shown three good brushes to use. ( FYI stucco = STUCK oh. It's that rough plaster put on the outside of a house.) It's hard to tell that your English is probably your second language. I previously watched your Paint Bucket video and used the Gaussian Blur to soften shading on a sphere and it became the best I've ever done. I also realized that you had made the basis of a gradient brush and suddenly I felt I knew a lot more about making custom brushes. You demonstrate different methods very well.
Hey, I don’t know what version of Procreate you are using, but I don’t find the brushes that you recommend in “Artistic”, ( gouache) I found that brush in Painting. It would be interesting to know what our differences are! And “Bonobo” I could not find at all in any of the brush categories! And the “Stucco” I found in the Painting category as well!
Procreate has undergone a few major updates since this video was released, so that may be why. OP also said in a comment that she's Dutch so that could also have something to do with it! Maybe language/translation settings?
Can you please do a video on where to put highlights and shadows? That would help me a lot! Sorry if you already have, and I just haven’t seen it, but I struggle with shadows and highlights, and you’re really great at teaching this kind of thing, so just a suggestion for you.
Hey thanks for posting this video, I was looking for a nice blending tutorial for procreate. Thanks for going over how you do the diagonal strokes left to right and right to left then sometimes circular and then straight up and down. I’m going to start implementing that while I’m blending. Also thanks for the tips on using smudge tool vs using lower opacity brushes.
I selected a colour layer and when I try to smudge two colours it picks up white, I don't know from where, but I can't get a nice blend like that, any help?
Thank you Flo! I just got my new Apple Pencil a few days ago and I’ve been having some...complications with blending and I’m a pretty young artist so my patience is probably lower than a lot of other artists so thanks for your help 😁😁😁
You knocked this video out! I have been struggling with blending colors for a while now. And this one video was a game changer. I can’t thank you enough. So...... THANK YOU a million times.
Thank you Ms.Flo really appreciate these tips for better blending. Love the way you teach & explain each exercise. Very very informative. I'm some years late on Procreate & 2 yrs late seeing this post but I've been a freehand artist since I was 5. Your teaching will live on, no matter who gets to class late. :-) 😀 Keep up the Great work Ma'm
Hi Flo, love your videos and can’t wait to try out these techniques when my apple pencil arrives - do you have a tutorial taking us through the motions of painting such a perfect nose though?? That would be amazing and a great place for inexperiences artists such as myself to begin.. thanks!!
I do a lot of anime/semi-realistic portraits but all I do is use the airbrush tool and gaussian blur everything. It looks super nice, but I HAVE to use bold outlines on top. I want to learn a more painterly style. Blending is just weird for me on procreate cause I'm not used to it.
Is the gouache brush a standard procreate brush? I don’t see it in my program along with some of the others shown. I have procreate on my iPad Pro. This is a lovely tutorial btw.
Keep practicing, it becomes a bit easier every time. I do recommend that you pay attention to how much you’re blending; as not all colors need to look seamlessly connected to each other. Take your time to blend because if you rush, you’ll probably make a bigger mistake.
Even when i use the selection tool, the blending tool takes colors from portions of the picture that are not selected and tries to use them for blending.. it's a real pain, anyone know how to help?
Dear Flo, your lessons have been a real treasure for me. and although English is not my native language, you share your knowledge so easily and simply that I easily understand you. but it saddens me that I can't buy your brushes and additional lessons. My family is from Ukraine, but now we live in Russia, and because of the sanctions, I am not able to pay on patrion, my cards do not pass. I really hope for the world to come soon and for the opportunity to learn even more about digital painting with the help of your lessons. In the meantime, I will continue to take free lessons on TH-cam and will share the results on Instagram and mark you in my drawings, hoping that you will mark them on your channel. You are the best teacher for me.
@@TheChameleon2008 When it comes to Photoshop, that surely is the case. But Procreate's smudge tool is doing a really nice job (which I totally didn't expect when starting out with Procreate after using normal brushes in Photoshop for 10 year ;))
@@ArtwithFlo yea for sure! But i have found some pretty amazing blend brushes that create more crisp blends rather then normal smudge/blur tool. No doubt that procreate 5 will do a even better job :) im soooo hyped!
Exactly what I was looking for. Specially the nose section, seeing how it transforms the colors smoothly really helped out!
That is so lovely to hear! 😀

@@mohuababar4081 the brushes in procreate are so simple and most artists (including me) don't need 90% of them.

Woo another mini 5 artist!!
Congrats ... I use my mom's iPad with my finger
@@_xnxly_art4316 I bought the new iPad air and it's really good
Flo, you get me SO excited to digitally paint!!! Thank you.
I'm so happy to hear that 😃
hi Flo, which brush did you use for blending ? Can you please do a watercolour tutorial ? I find blending watercolour also very challenging. Dank je wel!
I think she used the Stucco brush in the paint section
Thank you so much. This video gave me so much insight into blending and using various tools in procreate.
I'm so happy to hear that! I'm glad I could be of help
....THAT'S what the finger tool is?? Omfg

I'm glad you like it! Good luck blending 😀
This is the so far the best video on blending in digital painting. Thank you 😊
Thank you! This was a perfect and clear tutorial for me (a beginner). Could you maybe explain the meaning of overlay layer?

I've always wondered how to make art like this in procreate. Finally found it! Thank you this was very helpful!
“This is the moment where you blend colours”
idk if I'm just dumb cuz I only got procreate recently but I feel like it doesn't have the option to blend like in some ther programms?
I love you you just saved my life. I wish I watched this video before making my first drawing on procreate today.
Thank you so much for this video!!! But, I was wandering what blending tool are you using?
You sound like Maroge from the Incredibles
i wanna ask what brush you use for the smudge tool, because you can use different brushes for those too
Which brush do you use for the blending?

Although i have to point the irony that is that Rubiks cube - Doesnt blend well, keeps distracting me XD
Superb... This is what i want
Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like it
Thank you. Excellent video. I'd love to learn more about blending modes i.e., multiply.
Witch brush do you use under smudge to blend?
Top class tutorial. Thorough and crystal clear. Thank you Flo
What are the "low opacity brushes" and "low opacity brushes set to pen pressure"?
very insightful, whats crazy to me is that there are still so so many techniques not discussed. otherwise we would be here for hours
Thank you for the useful video, I have a question - how do you setup that the opacity related to the pen pressure? Thank you :)
butterflyralu Actions, preferences, edit pressure curve
Hi are there other ways to expand brushes? Your download process is not working in my ipad pro. Thx
What brush were you using?

I can solve that unsolved Rubik cube over there if you want 😏😏😏
Me too 😉
Art with Flo (:
Very helpful tutorial 👍 One of the best I’ve seen on blending.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you like it 😊
Thank you! I recently downloaded Procreate, so this was incredibly helpful!
Some of these tips would work for traditional art, too!
Jesus. I didn't know we can use thst brush button(smudge one) that way. .😂
Lol she teaching how to blend while I'm thinking: uuuuggghhh... ca- can I just giv- me the rubiks cube.*solves* yep there ya go.
Excellent video thank you! I am happy to subscribe you are awesome! The word is “stuck-O’🙃
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you like the video. And thank you for the correction, always learning 😉
So how do you set opacity to pen pressure??
Hello Flo! I have a question! But witch blending brushes or blinding stuff in the menu please help thank you 😊
The way to blend 🤚(uwu)👌🏼
Thank you so so much for going over how you directionally do blending so so much. I feel like I leveled up within two minutes of that explanation.
I use your round smeary brush. Its awesome ❤
My Procreate doesn’t have stucco or bonobo chalk
Um so of these brushes are no longer on procreate
I can’t find the Gouache, Bonobo Chalk or Stucco brushes.
I selected a colour layer and when I try to smudge two colours it picks up white, I don't know from where, but I can't get a nice blend like that, any help?
Same here
Very helpful vid! Thank you. Where do you set the brush opacity to pen pressure?
Same question.
Same question.
What brush do you recommend for the second tip?
Awesome so easy to understand and i will try it now thx u very much !^^
Im done i made a chili ,looks not bad :D im proud of my chili ,thx u again haha
This was just a big waste of my time. I still can blend after seeing this video.
Thank you Flo! I just got my new Apple Pencil a few days ago and I’ve been having some...complications with blending and I’m a pretty young artist so my patience is probably lower than a lot of other artists so thanks for your help 😁😁😁
I just started my own t spring to sell my art!!! So excited 😊
I strongly suggest water bleed brush as a blender , or anything uneat
What is the brush that you use here ? Should we use the same brush that we used to draw the elements?
You knocked this video out! I have been struggling with blending colors for a while now. And this one video was a game changer. I can’t thank you enough. So...... THANK YOU a million times.

Why does Zaxby’s advertise on every video 😂
How are you not letting it go past the square???
What the hell does opacity set to pen pressure mean

Which iPad where you using?
WHAT IS THE BRUSHES YOU FUCKING USEE
This is the best video I've seen on youtube about blinding. Thank you very much ❤️
What about with a brush? So you don’t blend the picture but you only blend what you have drawn on top? Please could you do a tutorial on that please?

AYO WHAT BRUSH DID YOU USE TO BLEND
When you see the likes and dislikes ratio in this video you can realize artists are the most grateful kind of human.
Can’t wait to watch more videos
If you think she talks too slow, put the velocity in 1.25 ^-^;

Oh my goodness your video was so helpful!!!😭😁
When you say set to pen pressure.. is that just slightly less then fulll opacity on the scale?
