Today, I'm going to show you how 
to paint this Modern Abstract
piece in Procreate.
I'm using Default Procreate Brushes.
I'm also using some overlay 
brushes that I'll talk to you
about from Uproot and I am 
using a free brush that I have
available to my 
newsletter subscribers.
Let's get into it.
So I have my canvas open right now.
I am working in a 4000 by 5000 
Pixel Canvas at 600 DPI and
my layers here,
I have set up and organized.
I am going to start by 
adding a texture overlay.
Now you can use a paper 
texture or any texture overlay that
you want. The ones I am 
going to be using and showing you
how to use today are from 
the Uproot Brushes Overlay Brushes
Pack, which is a massive 
pack of a bunch of really cool overlay
brushes that use blend modes 
and dual color settings to add
depth and texture to canvas.
So to use the is the first 
thing you have to do is set up
your dual colors.
So your Primary Color which 
is the left color, you set to
Black and then your Secondary 
Color you'll set to White and
then you'll want to make sure
 that you click back into your
primary color and then 
with these brushes, 
the preview of these is not 
going to show the texture.
So you have to play around and familiarize yourself with
these brushes.
So I am on my overlay layer 
and I have my brush opacity set
a 100% and my brush 
size set to a 100%
right now.
My blend mode is still normal 
so you can see what it looks
like. I've selected the very good General Overlay Brush and
with one single stroke im 
painting over the entire canvas
The Next Step.
You can change up the opacity.
I like this one to be kept at 
about 85 and then you'll want
to change the Blend Mode to Overlay.
So now you can't see anything.
But because this is a blend mode 
the texture will pass through
anything we paint on these 
layers and it will also show up
in our next step which is to 
change the background color.
So I'm selecting the background color.
The palette that I am using 
is my July Vibes Palette, which
is my monthly color palette 
that I sent out to my newsletter
subscribers. So if you want 
this, you can sign up following
the link in the description 
For this painting,
I'm going to choose this
Creamy color and automatically you can see a very faint texture
shows up through the color 
in the background.
Moving onto my orb layer.
I'm going to just like this 
Peachy Pink color.
And now I'm going to switch 
into the Calligraphy Panel and
I'm going to use the Monoline Brush and I am drawing a large
circle and without lifting up my pencil,
I'm going to tap finger to 
the screen to make a perfect circle
and then release and then 
in the option that pops up I'm
going to tap edit shape 
keep it on circle but by tapping
outside of the shape I can 
move it around, resize it. Then
I'm going to use color 
drop to fill this. Now,
I'm going to tap my Orb Layer 
to bring up this menu and tap
select and then in my Orb 
Glow Layer, I'm going to switch
to a solid white and I'm 
filling that completely. And then
I'm deselecting, going into the Adjustments Panel.
And then I'm tapping the 
Gaussian Blur Option and then I'm
sliding my pencil across 
the screen to adjust this.
And then I'm going to switch 
that to add and now I'm going
to select both of these and 
reduce the size. To do this,
I'm making sure that my 
selection tool is on uniform and
that I have Magnetic Set so 
that it will snap into place
and snap into the center as 
I move it there and I'm also
going to reduce the Glow Layer 
a bit and position it slightly
off center.
So it almost looks like an eclipse.
Next in my inking panel.
I'm going to be sketching this out with the dry ink brush
and I'll be using this Dark 
Gray moving onto my sketch layer.
I'm going to sketch out a 
branch and some leaves.
I like to erase any overlaps 
right away what I'm drawing
leaves with this technique.
Once I finished my sketch.
I'm going to reduce the opacity to about 50% and then I am
working on my Greenery 
Layer. For this layer,
I am selecting this Teal 
color and in the Calligraphy Panel
again, I will be using the 
Script Brush. For this,
I have the size set at about 25%. 
Now we can delete my sketch layer
Add in a new layer 
because I forgot to do this.
I'm going to rename this 
one and for this part of the project,
I'm going to set my Greenery 
layer as a reference which will
allow me to fill in my leaves 
on this separate layer.
I'm filling the leaves with 
this Mid-Teal Bluish color, and
I'm going to color drop to fill in.
Still on my fill layer.
I'm going to tap my arrow here and move it slightly off to
give it this off register.
look.
Now I am going to go into the Needle Layer and add some detail
lines on the leaves.
You can use the same brush 
that we used - The Script Brush
or you can download this 
free brush that I have available
for my subscribers for a limited time.
It's this needle brush 
inspired by Tattoo Techniques.
I had a tattoo artist reach 
out to me requesting this brush
and it's pressure sensitive.
I'm going to show you my 
Pressure Curve. In case you aren't
finding that you're getting 
the results that I'm showing
on the screen you go into 
this wrench and tap edit.
Pressure Curve. You can 
see I have mine set.
So this axis is towards more responsive and more sensitive
to pressure.
And so you can replicate 
this or play around and see what
works for you.
But basically I have adjusted 
it so that all of the brushes
that I use respond to 
pressure more easily.
So for this my brush size is 
set to about 20% and starting
at the center of each leaf.
I'm using more pressure at 
the start of the stroke and then
as I work my way out to 
earns the side I am trying to lift
up my brush strokes slightly 
to get these series of dots.
I'm not terribly concerned 
about the strokes all looking
the same as far as 
what is a straight line
and what is a series of dots 
but I am trying to consistently
space my lines.
And that's it.
