TUTORIAL // simple tricks for urban speedpainting (Patreon)

It’s time for this month’s tutorial! Some of you requested a tutorial on drawing cityscapes, architecture and urban environments. So I put together this resource, which breaks down the process of drawing an urban speedpaint into 4 basic steps, to avoid overwhelm and make the process more simple and intuitive! The process is in photoshop, but it can be identically replicated in procreate, because I don’t use the gradient tool. 

I discuss my procreate process a bit in this tutorial, but if you want to see a collection of procreate timpelapses showing similar subject matter, you can find that here!

Here’s the cheat sheet, and if you want to download it as a PDF file, you can find it attached below:

Some of the brushes I mention in this tutorial are:

• Idea Bra brush from the Procreate Razum Inc set: http://cbr.sh/ai2y9?ref=loish
• Wes gardner’s 2020 brush set: http://cbr.sh/kfv7sa?ref=loish

Here is the reference image I used:

And here are some other reference images I found that would be great to try this workflow on as well:

I hope you enjoy this one! Go out there and paint some street scenes ~ I’d love to see them!
