Staring at the color wheel and completely stuck on which shades to choose for your digital art? 🎨📲
Welcome to Episode 2 of Nick's Sketchbook! In today's Procreate lesson, Nick is diving deep into everything you need to know about Procreate colors and color palettes. We are taking the mystery out of digital color selection so you can step up your creative workflow and start designing cohesive, vibrant graphics with absolute confidence.
You'll learn how to navigate Procreate's color panels, create your own custom compact palettes, and pick standard vs. aesthetic color schemes that pop. Nick walks you through his step-by-step coloring process using an adorable mushroom illustration—showing you how to layer shading, highlights, and blending textures to achieve an authentic, hand-painted look.
Plus, just like last week, we are looking at the big picture! We show you how to take your finished, vibrant artwork out of the iPad screen and preview it on high-end physical products like custom mugs. Whether you're a hobbyist enjoying some slow crafting or a creative entrepreneur designing for your shop, this tutorial is for you!
