Let's learn how to turn a photograph into a cartoon using Procreate!* In this video, we are going to learn how to turn a photo into a cartoon using Procreate and we'll talk about key tips for drawing line art, quickly adding colors, shading, and building an overall good digital art workflow.
I'll show you some of my favorite Procreate tricks like using clipping masks, blending modes, the "reference" layer option, and alpha lock.
I may or may not also share some hacks to help you create a drop shadow and add a stroke around your character to make it look like a sticker 🤫
I hope these tips and tricks will help you turn your own photos into illustrations!

Happy creating! 😊
What app is it and can you get it on IPhone?!
Procreate
@@pinkbutterflyart4858 I already found out but thanks 😊
No problem
Gracias por tu video
I just have to say that I hope TH-cam pays you alot of money because girl, you certainly deserve it! I got your brush bundle and it’s the least anyone watching your videos can do. You are absolutely talented, absolutely generous and a hell of a teacher. Your videos are really master classes. Thank you, thank you and thank you a thousand times! ❤️
Thank you so much, Francine! The brushes are what allow me to keep making videos, so I really appreciate your support 🤍
Thank you! ❤ the best!🙌
The best part is that she’s not gate keeping and added her the little details from tools to time stamps. I subscribed right after I noticed that
Cna we take a moment to appreciate that she doesn’t say you NEED her pens
I have been using Procreate for over 3 years now and I have learnt more in this video than in the years I’ve been practicing! I’ve definitely been doing it the hard way. Brilliant tips, thank you so much, Genevieve 🥰
I'm so glad I found this channel! Your tutorials make it possible for people of all skill levels to follow along and enjoy the creative journey. You are so positive and the energy is so vibrant on this channel. it's infectious. I just bought the Ultimate Watercolor Box today and look forward to watching your turorials on these! Keep being you :)
This was such a great tutorial! I followed along and cartooned my baby at her 1 year old party. There were some parts that took some extra time for me as I had to re-organize some layers differently for my drawing but i was so happy with how it turned out. I wish I could leave a picture on here to show you how it turned out. Thanks again.
I don't usually leave comments on TH-cam, but I feel like it would be a sin not to say thank you after watching this video. It's incredible how you explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, in such a collected, clear, and persuasive way. Thank you for finally teaching me how to make this kind of digital art through this video. I'm forever grateful. Amazingly professional work!
Oh my, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad the tutorial helped you 🤍
I'VE NEVER FELT SO RELIEVED AFTER WATCHING A TH-cam TUTORIAL AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE MAKE THIS SO EASY, I ALWAYS LOVED TO DO THIS STYLE OF ART, BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW BUT AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO, I FEEL THIS POWER OF CREATING ANYTHING IN PROCREATE!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for being so clear and soft spoken, AND without using LOUD background music! I use photoshop which translates almost exactly - thanks again.
Not only are you a talented artist but you are great teacher! I’ve been a digital artist in the Adobe space for over 25 years and your Procreate videos have lured me in to this robust little app. Well done and thank you!
This was absolutely amazing. I just got an iPad today and downloaded pro create and naturally needed so guidance. You were so easy to follow without over explaining and confusing viewers. What I came up with looks like I’ve been creating with experience thanks to you!❤
Cool me too!
This was perfect. You had my attention this whole time and the instructions were so clear. I’m new to this so I’m super excited now. I also love your brushes and am tempted to buy them now lol
Hats off Ma'am, thank you so much. I've been struggling with crating a paint of my beloved grandmother (91 yo) mainly because I was aiming for photo realism (to the best of my procreate skills which are very scarce) and you just gave me "the" idea: something that's within my skillset and will make my grandmother very happy. Many, ,many thanks Genevieve.
Absolutely AMAZING tutorial!!! As an artist who wants to change their art style, this tutorial will help me A LOT! Keep up the great work.
This is a wonderful tutorial! So helpful! I love that you explain it step by step. Thank you so much!
I am so glad that I found your channel. This has been the most informative tutorial page that I have come across for Procreate. I don’t know why most people don’t go through the entire process step by step; but I’m so incredibly grateful that you have and do. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
I’ve been watching a ton of drawing videos on TH-cam over the last year, and still this is the one I come back to. Most informative video on how to draw using procreate on TH-cam.
Hi, Genevieve! I'm Brazilian and I'm not an expert in English, however, your didactics are so incredible that even with English subtitles I was able to reproduce the tutorial. My shadows and highlights need to improve, but I was really, really, really happy with the result. I became a fan! I subscribed to the channel! Thanks for the incredible work!
This was the best procreate video till date. So much information in one video itself , did not feel like skipping any part of it. Thank you so mu h
So glad you liked it 😊🤍
Omg your Tess from ravens home eeeeekkkkk
@@alanareichert9934 I'm thinking " My lil Mermaid"
Actually, and it helps in digital painting on any software
Great tutorial! I'm into realistic art, but want to start learning cartoon styles, and this really helped. I like the tip of changed the line art colors. It does make it look more professional.
Came across your channel and I’m so happy I did !!! You explained everything so well and I love that you gave options for the free brushes and your brushes ! I can’t wait to start my drawing! I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos !
Wow! This is great! I finally got a tablet and want to combine my photographs with drawing. This seems perfect for it. I watched the whole video before I actually start because I wanted to make sure it was good enough for me to understand. Thank you for being so thorough and clear in explaining. Looking forward to watching the videos to learn even more. Oh and I purchased the extra bundle. cant wait to work with that too.
This tutorial was EVERYTHING I needed to know. Thank you SOOO much!
Genevieve you are so generous and thoughtful towards the beginner. Without a pay wall may I add too, which is quite hard to find these days. I've literaly just started to use Procreate and watching this has given me hope of producing some really good work. What i learned withing your layer structure was amazing I applaud you. ❤
Also the fact you can do this so easily and not forget the steps and know all the tools like I know you’ve had practice but it’s still so impressive!
Okay honestly, this is by far the most helpful procreate tutorial I’ve ever seen 🙌🏻
This is amazinggggg! So many wonderful tips! Thank you so much for the well thought out tutorial!
Thank you so much to share this video ! This is the first tutorial who taught me everything that I wanted to know. I’m starting to draw in Procreate. This video helped me a lot and motivated me to keep going !! ❤️
I love this! I'm so happy that I found your channel! I have so many pics of my pup and my grandkids that would be a lot of fun to cartoon, while at the same time learning to use all of the tools that Procreate has to offer. Thank you!
Genevieve , I just simply adore your endless joy and how you treat each moment and each day as a gift from the Lord. Thank you for always sharing your what you do with all of us. You are just the most precious, purest ray of sunshine, my friend. Much, much love ❤️
Thank you, Maria 😊 lots of love, stay safe and healthy 🤍
Hi
What u r saying is 💯 true🥰♥️ like I finaly find someone who apritiates art other than me
@@ayshaalkhoori1721 love your expertise💯
Thank you for putting out all this content. Really love the way you explain each step in detail! It has really helped me up my illustration game!
P.S. an add for watching your video is that I can use your tips and tricks to my canvas in photoshop and not all the tips are procreate specific! Thank you so much and cheers! :)
Thank you so much I can learn procreate easily I am from USA I made my own profile
Girl I have been in the dark about “reference” 😭😭 thank you so much.
Wow, thank you. This is really helpful. I am a beginner and just „played“ with Procreate to get a feeling for the program. Now I really want to try it like you did it. Thank you. 💜
Very high value content. Each minute I spent on this video was worth it. Love you for this impeccable video! It's a life saver❤
Loved this CARTOON tutorial.. will watch again and follow along! Thanks so much.
Ahhhmazing tutorial! It was so fun to watch and your voice is so soft and calm. I was looking for a tutorial on how to use procreate but I’m glad I found you! Great job!
I was able to make my first illustration using this tutorial!! Thank you so much for making this
This such a great, thoughtful and resourceful video. Yes while there are tons of how to cartoon yourself videos on YT, Genevieve you took the time to go into detail around the line work. What was really valuable to also was the shadowing and highlight technique. And that reference hack using your picture. On point. 👍🏿
So glad you liked it, Leslie 🤍
Brilliant tutorial!!! Very well structured and easily presented. Thank you
Wow this was THE best procreate video ever ! No one ever really explains so simply how to use all of these features ! This was sooo helpful! I’m definitely subscribing!
One of the best tutorials I have watched. Probably will watch again while actually doing one myself haha.
Thanks Genevieve! Very detailed!
This is THE tutorial video!! For my whole life I thought I couldn’t draw and I drew my first piece yesterday with this video!!! Thanks so much!!!💕💕💕
This is seriously one of the most helpful tutorials for procreate I have ever watched. You just taught me so much in a short amount of time. Thank you!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! 😊🤍
I'm so happy I found you!! I can follow along without having to rewind the video 100 times. You explain in detail very well. Thank you so much!!! ❤
Thank you so much for this video! Absolutely love all your tutorials they're super helpful
I've been intimidated by procreate, but wanting to nurture my creative side for quite some time. This video has finally unlocked my fear and I am going to download procreate and your brush pack today! Thank you for this incredibly helpful and accessible tutorial. I found the cartoon tips so great!!
This was a wonderful tutorial, Genevieve! I have been using the basics of this method to sketch city and country scenes, using Rebelle 5 (I work on a Surface Pro, so no Procreate :( ). The way you do highlights was new to me, I will add that to my workflow!
I really like the adjustments you made to facial features so they don't look creepy, which is a problem I've been running into. Do you make the same adjustments for male faces, or do you use even fewer lines? For instance, would you still use the thick lower lip, or simply a black line for where the lips meet? Similarly, how do you handle an open mouth? Do you show the tongue like cartoonists do, as a dark arc in the bottom of the mouth?
Thanks again for this informative and useful tutorial!
Great video!! Thank you! I have been watching cartooning videos for a while to have different views on how to do different things (which is what I think everyone should do) as there are some things that some artists touch on and others do not. Thank you again, I will be saving this tutorial for future reference!!
This CARTOON tutorial is perfect. Thank you for all of the detail ❤
Wow -- one of the best, clearest tutorials I've ever watched! You have a real gift for teaching. So glad I came across your channel ❤️
That’s such a cool tutorial, Genevieve! Thank you so much!!! My mood’s been really down these days cause I’m Ukrainian immigrant in Canada, but this video made me feel much better and I’m excited to “trace” some pictures! Also cool that I already have your brushes! 👌🏼
Wishing you the best, sis 🥺❤️
Sending you so much love, Raisa 🤍 The tutorial this Saturday will be a special one for Ukraine. I've been working on it for the past few days, finding ways to help all of our friends stuck in this terrible situation 🇺🇦
I am so sorry, really.
I wish everyone could see how much pain Ukraine is in… sending u so so much love, stay strong for your country ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We all send you so much love please be careful out there!!❤️❤️
Same here.. I was crying all morning today, then managed to make breakfast, turned off the news and stumbled on this tutorial - I feel so much better now! Thank you for your sweet voice and amazing tutorial, that makes me want to create ❤️
This is the best illustration by far and so easy and uncomplicated...I recently got a new project where I had to draw illustrations and it always ended up being creepy...only this video helped guys,it made it accurate and the right amount of cute so it doesnt look immature....I cant thank you enough ever...I was so so worried and you taught me what I didnt knew I needed...the tips are the best i have come across...controling the lines,the shadows...such simplicity 💯💯💯
I have been using Procreate for a couple of years but I still learned several new tips from your video. Thank you! CARTOON
No se muy bien inglés pero se entendió todo a la perfección, realmente un trabajo increíble 🙌🏻
My CARTOON came out great! I ended up defining some facial features that you said NOT to define just because my smile is incomprehensible without them. I even used a pattern brush and a clipping mask to add a checked pattern to the blazer I was wearing in the original photo. Thanks so much for your tutorials!
Hey
Wow this is my first time on this channel- this drawing looks AMAZING!!
Thank you so much! For making this so easy! I'm looking to move into digital art soon and your process makes life so much fun! 🥰. New sub alert ⚠️ . I'm excited to start once my iPad comes in.
Ps. I had two bunnies 🐰 ( black n white ones ) named robbin and raven but they passed ❤.
Rest in peace
Thank you Genevieve! Such a good tutorial and you always make it easy to understand!! Have you got any advice how to include facial hair/beard in this style? Maybe treat it the same as hair or fur? Thank you! ❤

Thank you so much for the tutorial, anytime I see you videos, somehow it motivates me to draw and I literally complete my drawings which is something hard for someone lazy :D thank you so much for the tips and teaching that well < 3
Just got procreate for my twelfth b-day last month. Luv this. I used to use these tutorials with other drawing apps, but now I can follow it better! Luv u! ❤
3rd!! i love your videos
cartoon !!!
🥳🥳🥳
@@GenevievesDesignStudio hello!!!! i was just wondering becuase i use a plug in drawing tablet that connects to my computer idk a lot of the functions in krita but i rlly wanna follow along do you have and tips??
I tried an illustration drawing like this for the first time on Procreate. You‘re video was super helpful. Thank a lot it turned out great. Really good job.
Watching you draw is very satisfying! Also freaking beautiful artwork 💜💜
Do u can make a video using ibes paint
Cartoon, I’ve been doing procreate for years and you have taught me some new tricks. Thank you.
Cartoon! I just wanted to say that I’ve never thought I could handle Procreate, I got it about a year ago and have just been too anxious and overwhelmed to make anything with it. This video actually made me believe I could do it! Thank you!!!
This is an amazing tutorial. So simple to understand and follow! Thank you so much ❤
Best tutorial I've ever seen!! It was so satisfying to watch and incredibly informative. Thank you so much!
I've just started on procreate and l love your tutorial! Soo helpful for beginners!
Thank you Genevieve! You explain everything very well and move a nice steady pace. I enjoyed this tutorial. 👏🏼👍🏼
I'm fairly new to Procreate and I am super excited I found your cartoon tutorial! I am gonna try this now and hope it will turn out nearly as nice as yours as I wanna make some stickers of my bf and me 😍
Thank you so much for this!
This tutorial is brilliant 🎉 I learned exactly what I needed to do my first photo project of my dog and I. Excellent tutorial.👌
Hi Genevieve! It’s my first time watching this channel and I love it! ❤ You are so joy all the time and that motivates me to keep going! Love this channel, I will make sure I watch your other videos because this one helped me so much! ❤😊
Genevieve! This is a remarkable tutorial!! I have learned so much! You’re an excellent teacher and throughly enjoyable to follow! I have liked and subscribed!
You deserve the best! 👍🏻🌷✨
This cartoon tutorial is so interesting and helpful! Thank you Genevieve!
I've watched so many creators on here. Some are absolutely amazing. However, you by far are my favorite! I wish you the best in everything you do, and thank you for these tutorials!
Amazing tips! loving the cartoon illustration. Gonna try recreate mine with your technique.
Thank you for sharing helpful tips. It will definitely save me some time when I’m coloring. I do like my technique of highlighting, shading and painting but I love that “reference” option that you used on the lineart. I color everything on separate layers on my own with brush tool. So your tip will save me some time 😂 can’t believe I just learned this 🤦🏻♀️ and I’m not even a beginner LOL
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I have created mine, and love it! Thank you again!
I’m so sorry to found your tutorials. I’m working a few years with Procreate, but I’ve learned so much in only one video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this video!!! It was a great learning experience and I really did pick up a lot of tips for procreate. I look forward to checking out more of your content!!!🥰
You are really excellent - both as an artist and a teacher! Well done! I can't wait to watch another of your videos. I think I can do this - maybe. but I will definitely try!
Thankyou so much for all these amazing tutorials. I am just a beginner on procreate and I have learnt so much from watching your vidoes the last couple days. I only have a standard 10th gen ipad, but I am still able to create nice peices of digital art by using all your tips and techniques❤
I can't believe that i watched the whole 39 mins long video. This was really satisfying to watch 🤩
Thank you for the tutorial :) Love all the tips. You're wonderful!
Love this video! Got my brush pack immediately ❤️
OMG! I’m so excited for this tutorial. I’m from brazil and I search videos about procreate but don’t have return. Thank you very much!
Omg this is the first video that is the most thorough. Especially with the line art (which I did not know about in terms of which outlines to incorporate to make it look "less creepy" very interesting I learned something new that I did not learn from Art tutors or Art class from high school lol). Thank you for the video! I will try this out with a picture of me and my ferrets :) Hopefully it comes out good.
Ok, I am ready to attempt my "toon" of myself. Thanks for the tutorial and happy drawing to you and me.
The best tutorial. I've learned so much in one video. Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to watching more of your vids and feeling inspired to try to create too.
When I see you holding your bunny I’m all like:Awwwwww😍
Thank you! Very clear and ultra helpful ❤️
This tutorial is very easy for beginners, no mixing of layers, which just passes over head.. Thanks
I can't wait to draw quite a few cute cartoons using this tutorial! :D
Amazing tutorial, thank you for taking the time to explain everything ❤
What a lovely voice you have girl. 😘
Great tutorial, I learned a lot! Thanks :)
Just feel blessed to have come across your video.... You taught everything so beautifully and in detail...
This is the best video I’ve found yet! I’ve rewatched it so many times. Thank you !
I didn't feel like creating a cartoon of myself but learnt a lot from this video, thank you!
Thanks so much for this video! This is everything I needed to know so well explained and understanding for beginners like me! Definitely will keep checking for more of your videos 💜
Thank you so much, Greta! 🤍
