In this video chat episode I create these freesia flowers in Procreate.

We talk about the sketching process for these florals, and I list the Procreate brushes I used to create these flower illustrations in the description below the video.

Procreate brushes used:

• For creating the sketch, I used MaxU Dirty Bold Sharp Brush

• For filling in color I used my Monoline Brush (available free here in the mini course)

• I also used the Mikko Rull brush for color highlights and smudging with the smudge tool

  In this TimeLapse video, I'm creating these pink freesias and procreate,

  00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:33.450

  and I list the procreate brushes I used in the description. Below this video,

  00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:38.050

  you can find the link to the procreate color palette for these flowers below

  00:00:38.050 --> 00:00:41.800

  this video as well. Starting out the sketch,

  00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:46.640

  I'm thinking about getting the placement of the flowers right on the stems and

  00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.200

  the size of the flower buds.

  00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:53.680

  I'm also thinking about movement and positioning the flowers on the stem to

  00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:55.320

  create movement from right to left.

  00:00:56.740 --> 00:01:01.120

  The stems are thin and it contrasts with the size of the larger flowers

  00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.440

  and brings with it a delicate feeling to the flower.

  00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:06.880

  When I'm creating floral artwork,

  00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.560

  I try to think about how the plant would naturally grow and also give some type

  00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:12.480

  of movement to it,

  00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:17.080

  either with a curvature of its stem or the way the flowers are positioned.

  00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:21.680

  I later decided I wanted some unopened buds,

  00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:24.560

  so I did a quick sketch and added them in,

  00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:27.800

  as well as some filler leaves to go with it.

  00:01:28.990 --> 00:01:31.200

  When I'm creating filler leaves to go around the flowers,

  00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.400

  I want them to move with the stem as if they are dancing around it.

  00:01:36.830 --> 00:01:40.120

  This is the finished pattern design I created with these freezes.

  00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:43.960
