In this video, we are going to learn how to draw a Spring cartoon character using Procreate and we'll talk about key tips for drawing line art, quickly adding colors, shading, and building an overall good digital art workflow.
I'll show you some of my favorite Procreate tricks like using clipping masks, blending modes, the "reference" layer option, and alpha lock.
I hope these tips and tricks will help you create your own character!
