Top Down Room View – Part 2
Now that our line art is done, it’s time to bring our room to life with color, patterns, and lighting. We’ll start by laying down flat colors, adding shadows, and then transforming our scene into both a day and night version using Procreate’s blending modes and effects.
Brushes used:
- Basic Sketcher
- Studio Pen
- Soft Brush
- Medium Brush
- Flower Pattern Brushes
- Stippel Brush
- Tiny Patchy Brush
- Signs Brush
Canvas Size:
- 4500 x 2500 pixels
Key Skills Learned:
- Adding Flat Colors Efficiently: Use separate layers for different elements, drag-and-drop colors, and apply the selection tool with color fill to speed up the coloring process.
- Applying Patterns for Texture: Use clipping masks with pattern brushes like stipple and patchy textures to add subtle detail to rugs, walls, and beddings.
- Creating Realistic Shadows: Multiply layers help cast soft shadows from objects, giving depth and dimension to the scene. A soft brush and selection tool refine shadow placement.
- Adding Light Rays for a Day Scene: Use Add blending mode with a soft brush to paint in sunlight streaming through the windows. Gaussian blur and layer masks help control the intensity and realism.
- Crafting a Night Scene with Glow Effects: Use Bloom and Soft Light blending modes to make lamps glow, adding warmth and contrast. Adjust shadows for a darker ambiance while keeping key highlights.
