How to Draw Landscapes in Procreate: Utilizing Layers in your Process

If you’re new to Procreate or digital art and want to learn how to paint landscapes, while using layers to your advantage, this class is for you!
In this class you will learn:
- Basic use of layers such as alpha lock and clipping masks
- Simple ways to blend through an exercise
- How to break up a landscape into smaller digestible bits
- How add texture with basic Procreate brushes
- How keeping separate layers adds room for editing
In this class we’ll be going over the entire process of painting a landscape in Procreate, seeing how the different parts can come together, while working in different layers for each. We will use Procreate’s own texture brushes to bring life and interest to our drawing, while going over tips for using layers to their fullest.
You’ll be completing a blending exercise and hear the basics of layers to help prepare your to give an entire landscape a try. From sketching to adding the final details, it’s all demonstrated for you to follow along with. The exercise template, reference, and my favorite blending brush is available under resources.
Even if you are using a different drawing software or devise, you can learn from these exercises and methods, as they translate well to e.g. Photoshop and pc.
Although starting my digital art journey in Photoshop, once I got my first taste of Procreate I’ve never looked back. I use layers all the time in my work, as I create fantasy portraits and magical settings.
