City Window View
Let’s draw a charming city view from your window, step by step, right in Procreate. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through building up your scene with simple shapes, soft textures, and a lot of layering fun. Along the way, you’ll learn loads of useful Procreate tips without feeling overwhelmed. All you need is the color palette, your iPad, and a bit of patience. Let’s get started!
Brushes used:
- Piermont
- Mountain Lilac
- Bruny
Canvas Size:
- 2300 x 3000 pixels
Skills Learned:
- Creating clean shapes with the selection tool
We use the selection tool set to rectangle and color fill to easily block out window frames and buildings, super handy for neat, quick shapes. - Adding texture and light with alpha lock and clipping masks
We keep things non-destructive by painting texture right onto frames and buildings using clipping masks and alpha lock, perfect for adding warmth and shadows. - Using perspective tweaks for realism
Little tricks like trimming corners with the freehand selection tool and three-finger swipe help give the city scene a natural, subtle perspective. - Designing windows with personality
Each building gets its own set of windows, lightly textured and varied just enough to keep things interesting and duplicating makes it super fast.
