In this video, we are going to celebrate International Children's Book Day by learning how to draw a cartoon character in a photograph using Procreate. We'll also 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, and alpha lock.
I hope these tips and tricks will help you create your own character!
