I’ll share with you some free resources for creating color palettes so that your illustration series has a cohesive palette. Or you can use them to add subtle colored textures, or erase texture from a solid shape. You can use the textures to add high contrast grit to your background. When you watch this class, you’ll get all of the Procreate brushes I use to create my illustrations including 4 drawing and painting brushes and 10 texture brushes to add some grit and depth to your work. I’ll show you my whole process from planning the series to printing out the work and evaluating color options. I’ll show you how to scale your series to fit your skill level and personal time constraints so you can spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 20 hours on each illustration. I love having the iPad as part of my vector workflow to draw freely and get away from my desk.If you want to create a series, but aren’t sure where to start or you get stuck on the planning phases, this is the perfect class for you. Add coloring on a separate layer with the Pencil tool or Blob Brush. This removes excess anchor points.Ĭolor: Tap the fill icon to change the color of your line drawing. Simplify paths: After expanding, select your drawing and switch to the Direct Selection tool to use the Simplify path feature (on the actions bar or Path menu). Use the eye button to compare the original to the tracing, then tap Expand vectorization.Be sparing too much detail can slow Illustrator’s performance.Higher Path and lower Noise numbers will capture more detail.Choose the Line Art source preset choose Fills for Output.Tips for vectorizing a line drawing in Illustrator on the iPad In Illustrator, choose Convert layers to objects, and tap OK. Tap Publish & export > Open a copy, and choose Illustrator on the iPad or desktop.
Sending to Illustrator: To prepare your art for Illustrator, hide layers you don’t want to copy and merge strokes as needed before exporting. You can use Transform to scale, skew, and distort selected art.Īvoid clipping masks: Clipping masks on Fresco vector layers turn into image layers when you copy them to Illustrator. Vector trimming: Holding the outer touch shortcut lets you swipe through a stroke to trim where it intersects another stroke.Įditing in Fresco: Use the eraser tool, or hold the inner touch shortcut to erase with the same brush. You can fill open areas of a drawing with the Fill bucket, but ensure there are no gaps in your linework first, or you will fill the whole layer. Merge tip: After drawing, tap on a brushstroke with the Fill bucket, and any strokes connected to it with the same color will be merged. This isn’t evident in Fresco, but it comes into play when editing the drawing in Illustrator. Every time you lift your pencil, a new stroke shape is created. Merging strokes: The vector brush doesn’t automatically merge strokes of the same color.
