- Here's a really cool way to create an interesting image using an original sketch and a digital painting app. Pretty much any app that has layers will do - including photoshop, Fresco, Procreate, Sketchbook and Infinite Painter.
The watercolour brushes I used were from Matty B on Gumroad.
Hope you're finding these films fun. I've really enjoyed seeing your versions on Instagram and Facebook. Let me know in the comments if there's a car you'd like me to do next.
If you really, really enjoyed this and would like to perhaps have an original sketch, I've just set up a Patreon account where I regularly post original drawings to the patrons. It's thanks to these fine folk that I make these regular films...

A little more about these drawing films...
You might not think you can learn much from following these drawing instructions but the process is actually almost identical to the steps I use when I'm out sketching from life. A little observation and some careful measuring with a pencil in the early stages will help keep your drawing from going astray (especially when you're dealing with something technical like drawing a car). It's easy to start drawing what you think is right without checking first - and that's usually where it starts to go wrong. I'd heartily recommend checking through my other films as I have made several that will help you when you venture outside to sketch. There's a retries on perspective drawing - which has several points which I think are often overlooked in other perspective tutorials and book. I've also got a few top tips specifically for drawing from life - and also a few films where I describe my thought processes when I'm drawing. The films on drawing materials may be of interest too. What artist doesn't need an excuse to try a new sketching tool?
Well done, Stefan. A really useful tip on rendering
Thanks! Definitely a fun thing to try. It looks good if you take a photo of your sketchbook too. Somehow, seeing the sketch in context is just a bit more interesting than the usual image filling the page.
Please keep em coming!
Thanks, will do my best :)
Beautiful work
Thanks so much!
Thank you for these Stefan.. Best wishes
A pleasure - really nice to know you’re enjoying them :)
Love this work I will have to try this technique and see how it goes. Great videos I could watch you do this all day.
That's lovely to hear - thanks Christopher!
Really cool Stefan. Something I must try on some of my better sketches 😊
It’s so simple - definitely give it a try!
Is Procreate an app only or do they sell something to use on a wacom, etc. I have yet to find where it is more than an apple ipad app. Am I missing something?
Procreate is only for the iPad but you can definitely do exactly the same process in pretty much any app that has a layers function - Photoshop, Fresco, Infinite painter, Sketchbook etc. Which app do you use at the moment?
@@StefanMarjoram I use Photoshop, but have considered trying out Fresco based on your suggestions. Finding brushes you can use in each is a bit of a nuisance.
@@XoVoX You can import photoshop brushes into Fresco. They might not behave exactly the same but with a bit of tweaking you should get something you like. That said, there are loads of nice brush sets for Fresco - many of them free. I know what you mean about finding brushes. Whenever I buy a pack I'm usually completely overwhelmed with the sheer quantity. I usually end up picking my 10 favourites and putting them in a separate collection :)
