Digital Marbling and Alcohol Ink in Procreate


About This Class
Are you looking for a cutting-edge method to make surface pattern designs and wall art
pieces feel new and luxurious? With this easy-to-do digital marbling technique in Procreate,
you will learn to do just that! Faux marbling is the preparation and finishing of a surface to
imitate the appearance of polished marble, alcohol ink, Ebru, Suminagshi, or the new acrylic
pouring you see everywhere. In this class, Digital Marbling and Alcohol Ink in Procreate
with Easy Foil and Glitter Techniques, we will explore digital alcohol ink marbling and
how to create luscious abstract pieces of art that can imitate many design and paint
techniques in current art trends. The wild thing about these techniques: you can create this
look quickly with no mess and materials! And it is so easy that it is sure to become a style all
its own!

Here is an example of my piece


created with these techniques.

In the class I will be showing you


methods to help YOU create
beautiful pieces to resemble alcohol
ink or any of the other finishes listed
above. That’s truly the fascination of
this process in Procreate. As you
learn the technique and make it your
own, you will be able to create
authentically and intuitively and
uniquely.

I will demonstrate multiple tools and


techniques, and I break down
everything with demonstrations –
everything from the essential foundations to multiple methods of finessing and adding
sophisticated accents. And naturally, I cover a multitude of Procreate tips and tricks along
the way, including importing brushes and adding foil accents. The best part is, you can do all
of this without making a mess and wearing rubber gloves!

The key concepts I will include are:


 learning the Procreate liquify tools and options
 working with colour and adding richness with luminance brushes
 experimenting with Procreate blending modes
 using hue and saturation to adjust color
 clipping masks and imported textures
 buying and installing brushes
 working with purchased brushes
 importing reference and working with a split screen

This is a great course for you to take no matter what you plan to be using the art for. You
can use only resident Procreate brushes, or expand the possibilities with purchased assets.
Learn to work efficiently and in a professional way. You needn’t know anything about
Procreate or marbling and alcohol ink to take the class. If you're looking to create intuitively,
or do something therapeutic, you will find these techniques most satisfying. It will take less
than 1 hour and it’s great no matter your skill level. This can literally be the first time you
ever try Procreate, and you will be successful!
Intro:

This short intro will give you an overview of the class.

Lesson 1: Inspiration, Examples and Overview

In this lesson, I will show you the inspiration I had for creating my work and I will show you where
you can find additional info. I will explain how to work with reference you find.

Lesson 2: Initial Painting, Texturizing and Liquifying

In this lesson I will explain my process for painting the initial layout. I will show you how to add
texture as well. We will then liquify for the first stage. After the initial liquifying, I show you how
to add additional texture and interest, using different paints and a variety of liquify settings.

Lesson 3: Adding Accents and Textural Interest

In this lesson, I will show you one of the methods for adding glitter and gold accents. I will also
demonstrate the addition of texture and grunge. I explain how to liquify multiple layers as well.

Lesson 4: Adding and Using Purchased Brushes

In this lesson, I show you how to add a purchased brush set. I will demonstrate the use of several
brushes from the imported set. I explain how to incorporate both techniques together and how
the purchased brush strokes can be integrated into your designs.

Lesson 5: Adding Gold and Glitter Details

This lesson focuses on the imported brush set by Alaina Jensen. We will experiment with different
methods of adding interest with everything from gold spatter to gold foil and glitter brushes, as
well as adding additional depth and texture to areas of marbling and color.

Lesson 6: Wrap Up

Here we look at some of the color options and how they looked as mockups. This last segment
will wrap up all we discussed and give you a starting point and encouragement to start today!

Concepts covered:

Concepts covered include but are not limited to Procreate filter techniques, Procreate brushes,
buying and importing assets, hue and saturation, liquify, all liquify settings such as twirl, pinch,
expand, crystallize, Procreate export and airdrop, layer adjustments, hue and saturation
adjustment layers, clipping mask layers, alternate backgrounds, color, importing and organizing
brushes in Procreate, marbling and alcohol ink production workflow best practices, and much
more.

and education for over 40 years

Project Description
Try out the techniques described in class and create a few pieces. Incorporate gold or another
accent. Don’t preplan too much, but look at as many examples you can find to help get those
creative juices flowing. Be spontaneous for your first few attempts. Share some of the pieces
here, and describe any techniques discovered. Let me know what was your favorite part of the
process! I love hearing from you.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR UP AND COMING DESIGNERS:


• Building a body of work with a consistent, signature style is the best way to become
recognized.
• Things may not happen quickly but keep moving forward with your skills.
• You must be willing to build your portfolio and be a versatile and willing participant in your
journey.
• Remember that “overnight” success is a myth. Even the great graphic design artists out there
had to start somewhere. Research as many as you can and heed their advice. Their stories can
be really inspirational. Start here at Skillshare with teachers such as Shannon McNabb. Shelley
Seguinot, Bonnie Christine, Sandra Bowers, Jamie Bartlette, Mel Armstrong and Elizabeth
Olwen, and others, too numerous to mention. Try ALL the techniques until your find one that is
just right for you.
• Most artists take several years to build a successful business. Take the steps necessary to get
there. Take as many courses as you can! Carve out a small portion of each week dedicated
solely to educating yourself.
• Publish in as many venues as possible. Start building your passive income streams, like
Creative Market, Zazzle, Red Bubble, Society 6, Art of Where, etc. Open online-stores and keep
fresh art going on to your products on a regular basis. Test. Test. TEST!
• Experiment until you find what works for you and your particular style of art.
• You must be patient and keep your nose to the grindstone. Make progress and keep your mind
and heart open! Good luck!
