You Can Draw This LIGHT BULB in PROCREATE - Using FREE Brushes Only

You can draw this in Procreate. I am sure that you can draw this in Procreate, because I have developed this You Can Draw This video especially for people without any experience with drawing or Procreate. But even if you have followed all of the other You Can Draw This videos, and if you have experience with Procreate, then this is still a very fun tutorial to follow. So be sure to watch the video all the way till the end, and once you're finished, share your work on Instagram and tag me in the image, not just in the description, so I will be able to find your work. And perhaps we'll see your work in the next You Can Draw This video. So for this tutorial, you don't need any experience, and we will just be using the brushes that are already in the Procreate app. If you want more after watching this You Can Draw This video, then be sure to check out my Patreon page, where I share a lot more video tutorial content, ranging from beginner tutorials to more advanced tutorials. Alright, let's get started. Our canvas is 2500 pixels by 2500 pixels. And if you want to use the exact same colors I'm using in this tutorial, then you can download the color palette through the link in the description. And if you want to make sure that the colors really do look the same, then set your canvas to the color profile, sRGB, IEC, long code, which I can never quite remember. The first step is to give a color to our background. You can go to the layer menu, that's these two squares, and then click background color. And we'll use this color in the color palette. It's a very dark blue. Now go to the layer menu again, and make sure that you're on layer 1. And then for the color, we will pick this very light color. And we'll start off our light bulb by creating a circle. And we'll do that with the monoline brush, which you can find under calligraphy. For the size, we can go to something like 20%, doesn't really matter. And we'll draw a circle. Just hold your pen in place once you've closed the circle, and then tap one finger on your screen to make it snap to a perfectly round circle. And now we'll want to make the bottom part of our light bulb. And we will want to make sure that this circle is in the exact center of our canvas. And we can do that by going to the arrow here, and then go to snapping, and make sure that snapping is turned on. Now if you move your circle around, you can let it snap to the exact vertical center of your canvas, and that's what we want. So just place it there, and then you can click the arrow again to get out of that menu. Next we are going to turn on symmetry. We'll do that by going to the wrench, then to canvas, and then turn on drawing guide. Now go to edit drawing guide, and here turn on symmetry. Then click done. And now whatever we will draw on the left side of the canvas will also show up on the right side. And now let's draw that underside of our light bulb. We will start about here, and make a curved line going down to the center, where it will meet with the other side. Now my line got a little bit wobbly, but that's fine. We can just go over it and adjust it a little bit. So that it's a nice smooth looking lower side of the light bulb. And once you're happy with the shape, you can drag in the color, just by dragging in the circle and filling your shape. And we can go over this little edge here to close that. And now we have our basic shape for our light bulb. And now we can turn off the drawing guide. We can go to the menu, to the wrench, and then turn off the drawing guide here, because we don't need that vertical line. And you can go to the layer, click it, and turn off drawing assist. So now symmetry is turned off for this layer. What we'll do now is add a mask to this layer. You can do that by clicking it, and then select mask. Now on this mask layer that is attached to layer one, we can paint on that with black and mask parts of this layer with the light bulb. So we'll make parts of that layer invisible. And we'll do that by using a soft brush. We'll go to airbrushing and use the soft brush and set it to black. You can just double tap at the bottom here in a circle to select pure black. The opacity of the brush is set to 40 percent. And the size of the brush is at 20 percent. And now we are going to block the center part of our light bulb, but we are going to leave the edges. So we'll go over the center, make circular motions, but don't go all the way to the edges. We'll go down here. And because the opacity of this brush is pretty low, we will have to make multiple strokes, multiple passes to make this more transparent. But that gives you a lot of control. And we'll go again. Start at the center, make circular motions to the outside until that center part is almost entirely transparent. But just don't go all the way to the edges. We want that center part to be more transparent. And on the outside, we'll still see that white of the light bulb. This is looking nice. Let's create a new layer. Let's go to the layer menu. Click the plus to create a new layer. And on this layer, we will add a little bit of extra to that glass. We'll still be using the soft airbrush or the airbrush that is called soft brush, but we'll just make it a little bit smaller. It's at 20 percent right now, but we'll go to 5 percent. So let's go down here to 5 percent. And we'll add some highlights to this glass. I'll make a bended shape here following that curve of the light bulb. You can make multiple strokes since we have that low opacity. We'll make a smaller one here, a bit like an oval. Just make multiple strokes. And we can make our brush even smaller. Let's go to 2 percent and make a little highlight here at the top. Use multiple strokes to make it more opaque. Now let's make the bottom part of our light bulb. We'll go to the layers again and create a new layer. And we'll drag that to the bottom so that it's underneath our light bulb. For the brush, we will go to inking and use the dry ink brush. And for the color, we will use this light gray color. And the brush size is at 6 percent. And I will create an oval right here at the bottom of our light bulb. You can rotate your canvas a bit with two fingers to make it a bit easier for you. And I'll just make an oval right here. And you can use edit shape to adjust it a little bit. I want that lower curve to be just like that lower curve of the light bulb. To nicely fit there. Let's rotate our canvas to take a better look. You can make it a little bit more flat. Just make it attach to that lower part. You can use these handles to play around. And I think this is looking good. We can just click the brush to get out of that menu. For the next step, we will make a new layer again. And we'll place it underneath this oval that we just created. So click the plus and then drag this layer underneath that oval. For the brush, we will go back to the monoline brush, which you can find under calligraphy. And we will make it super big. We will go to 100 percent. And for the color, we will use this first color here in the second line. And now let's create another oval just underneath this one. Hold your pen in place and use edit shape again. To make sure that it's looking the way you want it to. Make it attach to that oval that we just created. A bit like this. Then click the brush to get out of there. And now let's duplicate this little oval. You can do that by dragging down with three fingers. And then clicking duplicate. Now let's go to snapping. Turn off snapping and turn on magnetics. And let's drag this one down just a little bit. To make this part a little bit thicker. And then click the brush again to get out of there. And now we can just use our brush to close these little gaps. And to refine this edge a little bit. Make it a bit more rounded on both sides. Now we'll go to our layer menu and merge these two layers that we just created. So be sure to not merge it with that little oval that we created in the first place. Just these fat two ovals that we just created. And now we can duplicate these by swiping down with three fingers again. Click duplicate and drag this one down. And we'll want to make this one a little bit smaller. Just drag it down a little bit. And now you can click the brush to get out of there. And now you can see that we have a slightly smaller oval just a little bit down. And now we can duplicate this one again by swiping down with three fingers and clicking duplicate. Drag it down a little bit and make it smaller. And now you can click the brush to get out of that menu again. Finally I want to make a little semicircle at the bottom. But I also want these two other ovals that I've made to be below our top oval. So this one that we just created is the bottom oval. And this is the second one. We want that to be between the top one and the bottom one. And now I want to create that semicircle that I talked about. So let's click the plus for a new layer and then drag it down to the bottom. Now let's draw a circle. You can just use the quick shape tool. So hold your pen in place to create that circle. And you can use edit shape and move it around a little bit. I think it's fine here. And now we can drag in the color to fill our little semicircle. Now I would like to add some texture to this lower part. And to do that we will turn on alpha lock on these layers. Click the layer, turn on alpha lock and do that for each of these layers. Now alpha lock makes sure that the pixels on this layer, on these layers, that they are locked and we won't be able to create any new pixels outside of this on that checkerboard that you can see on the layer image. So we will only be able to paint on these ovals. Now we'll start with the top one. And for the brush, we will go to spray paints and use the medium nozzle. For our color, we will use this dark gray color here, that second color. The opacity of the brush is at 40%. And for our size, we will go to 15%. And now we are going to darken some parts. Let's first darken this top part. That's the inside. And then let's go over that lower area and add a little bit of shadow there. That light bulb, that will give light and that will cause that bottom part here to be a bit darker. Let's do the same thing for the next one, for the one below. So go to this layer and we'll add a little shadow here at the bottom. Just go over that edge. And you can also add a slight shadow here at the top. And now let's do the same for the one below. So let's go a layer down. First that underside and then the top side. Just a little bit. Make sure that you don't cover it entirely because then it will just be one dark, dark layer. Now let's go to the bottom one, that's our circle. And let's add a slight shadow there as well. We'll do that at the top here and slightly at the bottom. Next, we'll also add some highlights on these layers. We'll do that with the light gray. And we'll make the brush a little bit smaller. Let's go to, well, 6%. And let's start with the top layer again. And let's add a little bit of a highlight here. Just follow that shape. Make a curved line just on the right side of this oval. Because as you can see, we have these highlights on the light bulb on this side. So it makes sense to make the highlights on this side as well for this lower part of our light bulb. Now let's go to the layer below that other one. And again, make a highlight here following that curve of the oval. Then the one below, we'll do the same. Add a little highlight here. And finally, we can add a little bit of a highlight to that circle at the bottom. Like that. Now it's time for the real fun part. Let's add light to our light bulb. We will create a new layer that is below our glass, but above our lower area of the lamp, which I really don't know the name of in English. Let's click the plus to create that layer between these two parts. And for the brush, we will go to the luminance brushes and use the light pen. And for the color, we will use this yellow. The brush opacity is at 100% and the brush size is at 40%. And I thought it would be fun to create a heart shape here. So we'll start at the bottom. And we'll go up. And here we'll start creating a heart shape. And then we'll go back to the bottom. But of course, we want this lamp to glow. So let's add a glow. We'll do that on a layer on top of all the others. Let's click layer 3 here. Then the plus for a new layer. And for this layer, we will change the layer blending mode. You can do that by clicking the N. And then we'll go to color dodge. And for our brush, we will use a soft brush. We will use that airbrushing brush again right here. And for the color, we will use this orange. The brush opacity is still at 40%. And for the size, we will go to 20%. And now let's make a glow in the center here. And let's go a little bit over the edges. But we need more, of course. Let's create another layer on top here. We'll click the plus again. And for this layer, we will pick screen for the layer blending mode. So again, click that N and go to screen. And we'll still be using that orange and the same brush size. And again, we'll go over that center, adding some light orange here. And on top of this, we'll create another layer. Click the plus again. This one will set to color dodge again. But we will pick a different color. We will use the yellow here. And now let's add some extra glow here in the center. Of our light bulb. Now that we added the light, I feel like our glass for the light bulb might be a little bit too thick. But it's very easy to fix that. We can just go to that layer mask again that we added to the light bulb. And while using the soft brush, we can go over there. And make that edge appear a little bit thinner. So you can just use black to block parts of this light bulb. If you have blocked too much, then you can easily paint back parts by just using white. You can double tap here in this area to pick pure white. And you can go over and get your light bulb back. So the layer mask gives you full control. And you also have that control over the glow that you just added. We have these on separate layers. So you can easily play around. Just click the layer. Click the S here for example. And you can play around with the opacity of these layers. Let's turn this one down a little bit to 70% for instance. Now let's add a little bit of light to the surroundings. We'll create a new layer. And we'll drag that one all the way to the bottom to work on the background. We'll still be using that soft brush. And for the color, we will pick this lighter blue here. And we'll start adding some light to the bottom here. I'm making circular motions here, lightening up that bottom part. And we can go even lighter by picking this lighter blue here. And make that center area even lighter. And I also want to add an orange glow. So we'll pick that orange from the color palette. To add the orange glow that that light bulb is emitting. So let's go over this area and add a little bit of orange. A nice warm glow. And if you want to soften this, of course you can go to the magic wand. Then to Gaussian blur. And click layer. And then slide to the right to blur your entire layer. To make it a bit more soft, I'm going for a 2%, just a subtle blur. Now I want to add a shadow. And we'll do that on a separate layer again. So click the plus for a new layer. And let's pick this very, very dark blue. Almost black. And for the brush, let's use the medium brush. The opacity for this brush is at 100% and the size is at 10%. And now let's make a little oval here at the bottom. To create a little shadow for our light bulb. And again, you can use the Gaussian blur by going to the magic wand. Clicking layer here. And sliding to the right to give it a slight blur. I'm at 7.5%. And just click the magic wand again to get out of that menu. And there you have your lovely light bulb.
