In this video, we are going to learn how to turn a picture* of your pet into a cartoon 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, 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 illustration to make it look like a sticker 🤫
I hope these tips and tricks will help you turn your own photos into illustrations!

This video tutorial has voice over instructions, so grab your drawing tools and draw with me 😊

About tracing...
The portrait tracing video from a few months ago (   • How To Cartoon Yourself in Procreate ...  ) was one of my most requested tutorials since starting the channel. So after almost 2 years of avoiding the whole thing, I finally decided to bite the bullet and do a tracing video.
Do I believe you can actually learn how to draw by tracing? Absolutely not! But it turns out that the portrait tutorial has been a great way to get people to dip their toes into the world of digital art and to show them that they can do it.
I've had comments from people who started with my other tracing video and, within a few days, realized they really like drawing. From there, they moved on to "from scratch" tutorials, which is AWESOME!
So if someone is reading this and feeling bad about tracing, just remember that no, you won't learn to draw by tracing. But it might still be a great way to discover a new hobby! Plus, we're on YouTube; we're all about having fun here. So it's ok to just switch our brain off for a while 🤍
That being said, please keep in mind that tracing a picture you don't own is stealing, so make sure to work either on a picture you/someone you know took or a copyright-free picture. Also, advertising a traced image as an original illustration is questionable. Plus, people can tell 😉
If you're someone who doesn't like tracing their art, then good for you! I'm the same. But that doesn't mean we get to attack people who just want a good time.
