Learn to draw house plants in procreate as a beginner through five steps—sketching, lineart, base colors, shading and lighting, and a final project—plus tips for photo references and stylizing.
Sketch three houseplants in Procreate, building a readable silhouette with large shapes before adding rhythm and depth. Move, scale, rotate, and liquify to craft lively compositions.
Refine your sketch into lineart with a custom Procreate brush, tracing on a layer, and line variation to suggest depth and light; use shape menu for circles and straight lines.
Block in colors quickly and create a watercolor wash and paper-textured background for house plant art in Procreate, using the lasso tool, color fill, and layered textures.
Learn shading fundamentals by building base colors on multiply or overlay layers, lighting from the upper left, and rendering a ceramic vase with wooden legs and leafy textures.
Adjust each plant's lineart and apply warm light to the leaves and vase, using normal layers to create diffused highlights, midline streaks, and subtle dust-like particles.
Finish this lesson by grabbing your tablet and sketching a houseplant in Procreate, color it, add shading and light, then post the drawing in the project section.
Ever tried drawing plants but felt overwhelmed by the huge number of leaves and details and wasn't sure where to start?
In this class, I can teach you how to draw 3 different plants in 5 easy and actionable steps! It doesn't matter if you haven't drawn plants before, because truth be told, I also shied away from drawing plants for a really long time. But after you learn how to look at a reference and how to stylize what you see, it will be a lot easier!
I will take you through my whole process, from how to sketch using references, through lineart, base colors and all the way to shadows and lighting! You can skip any lesson you want if you feel like you already master that area, but I recommend you at least let it run in the background while you sketch, because you might hear one piece of information that you haven't thought of before. Or a different approach, or anything like that.
