How To Draw A Evey Ribbon

I've had a few requests for avant-garde tutorials lately, so we're closing out the twelvemonth with my most advanced tutorial to engagement: complex ribbons! If you're brand new to Procreate, you'll want to take my free course before tackling this beauty. We'll be combining selections, masking variations and depth effects, along with determining hierarchy within our ribbon folds. Fifty-fifty if y'all are a more than advanced Procreate user, my promise is that you'll still learn a few new tricks yous can carry with you lot into the new yr 😉

Pin information technology for after!

Here's a written overview of how to depict complex ribbons in Procreate:

Start by drawing out the ribbon shape template and brand it pretty curvy. Reduce the opacity and duplicate it and movement the duplicated layer downwards to establish the thickness of the ribbon.
Then, add in the notch of your ribbon and trace over the ribbon to establish the hierarchy.
Turn off the template to come across the crude version of the ribbon. Paint in the colour by creating a new layer and kickoff with the back sections first by retracing what yous only drew. Now draw in the forepart sections on a new layer.
Paint in all of the florals on top with the thick circular textured castor and paint in some simple flower shapes. On a new layer, add in some lines to make the flowers look more than detailed. Catch the dried out brush and just draw some lines straight upwardly on all of them. Add in the stems with the liner brush.
Then, grouping all of the bloom elements together and brand a copy of the group. Plow off the visibility of the original group and and then flatten the duplicate. Duplicate the flattened flower layer and plough it off temporarily.
Select the ribbon layer, striking invert, tap on the blossom layer thumbnail and choose mask (it should wait black in the layer thumbnail).
Return to the layer mask layer and choose the color white. Choose which parts of the florals you want in front end or behind the ribbon. Paint right over where you desire the flower to be revealed.
Add in your lettering with the stale out castor.
Next, create a shadow of your ribbon layer.
Create a new layer and take hold of the thick circular opaque brush and pigment in a circle in the center of the canvas. Utilise a gaussian blur and send the layer behind everything. Modify the alloy fashion to multiply and reduce the opacity.
Finally, add in some snow with the dried out brush and paint in some little dots.
Done!
