About the video: We apply lights and shadows 1
Overview
“Procreate has several functionalities that will help us to give volume to our project quickly and efficiently thanks, above all, to the clipping masks and the alpha layer lock.

This functionality again helps us to be more efficient by avoiding wasting time when erasing the excess paint. Once we know how light behaves on the surface of objects, and applying what we have learned about clipping masks and the alpha block, we are going to bring our illustration to life. Basically, what we will do is recolor over the illustration, but this time with darker and lighter tones to mark the lights and shadows. ”
In this video lesson Óscar Lloréns addresses the topic: We apply lights and shadows 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Illustration Techniques and Styles with Procreate. Learn how to approach an illustration project with different techniques to find your style.
