Complete Water Works Procreate Sketch

I have the image to describe this Water Works idea now. So I’m going to save it to my images.

Go to the wrench on the top left, Share, JPEG, save image. 

Now I can share with you, from my IPad photos, the new waterfall that can be placed outside of children’s hospitals... etc. that are so “beautiful, smart, healthy, clean...” that people can’t help but put good thoughts into the water that is (under the surface) connected to a human body. 

Procreate Sketch Water Works Continues

Now that I’m ready for layer 5, I chose my inking type and on the far right corner I’m going to make sure the color wheel is on black so we can see the sketch. Then, back to the paint brush button for the pen. 

When you’re ready to look at just the photo/sketch page, lightly tap the corner of the IPad to make the other gadgets disappear. 

Now I did a free handed sketch on top of the first layer (not really-I traced a transparent sketch on top of the IPad). And I added another layer again to not show something at the top. So, now I want to make the sketch look a little less bold so I’ll go to the wand on the top left and under “Adjustments” 

push the “opacity” button. 

Then, slide your finger along the top of the screen to dull the layer as much as you choose to with the small blue line starting from the top right corner to the left. 

Procreate Sketch Issues

The good thing about when you don’t like something or it didn’t work out like you wanted it to, you can delete a layer and add another one until you get it right.
So now I went to the first layer and piched the painting together until it was the right size for my next layer.

Now I’ll push the check mark on layer 5 so that layer is active again and continue. The other layers I’ll leave without a check mark so I don’t see them. I now just see the 1st and 5th layers and the 5th layer is where I’ll sketch. 

Make sure the blue is on layer 5 and then open the paint brush gadget. 

I’m going to go with “Inking” to sketch and use the “Technical Pen”. 

Procreate Sketch Water Works Pic and Layering

Now that I have my blank canvas I’m going to put a picture on it. This is also a picture I created with Procreate when randomly painting. So now I can access it because I saved it to my photo gallery. From the wrench button, then the “Add” button I’m going to open “Insert a Photo”. 

Insert the photo of your choice from your IPad gallery. Next, click the blue arrow button to hold the picture in place. 

Now you’re going to want to add a layer. Go to the top right corner of the app that looks like 2 sheets of paper. 

Push the plus sign to add a layer and the blue will show you what layer you’re going to be working on.. 

I want to sketch something on top of the picture and be able to explain layer by layer what I want this to look like/how it needs to function... 

So, now I’ve opened up a number of layers because I keep running into issues. 

Procreate Sketch Water Works

The first step is to open the + at the top corner of the app so you can open up a new blank canvas to create with. When you press the + sign you will see a menu option like this..

I usually choose to open the “Screen Size” so I have the largest canvas at my fingertips. Open that and you will have a clean canvas to work with that looks like this..
