how to paint cats the easy way 🐈 Illustration tutorial. Procreate tips and tricks for beginners
How to paint a cat portraits in Procreate. In this video, I show you an easy way to paint naive style cat illustrations based on photos of real cats.
😅 STUFF I USED FOR THIS VIDEO
I used a combination of brushes and a paper texture for this project:
- little pine brush (in the Drawing tab)
- *Plumage blender brush/wet and abstract brush (Feather brush set)
- *St petersburg paper texture (this is the watercolor paper effect)
*The watercolor brushes and the paper texture are products I sell on my etsy store to support the channel. At the time of this video, the feather brushes are $5.50 and the St petersburg texture is $9.25. These tools support this KZread channel where I post new tutorials every week. If these tools are too expensive, it's ok, please contact me on my Etsy store and I will love to help you ☺️ Here are the links to my Etsy store:
- Feather brush set (in my Etsy store):

- St petersburg paper texture (in my Etsy store):

(I'm very active on Etsy and you can contact me directly if you need anything or if you want a refund.)
If you cannot afford the brushes/texture, please message me on my Etsy store in the links above and I can help you. I love to teach art and help traditional artists try out digital painting. The income from the Etsy store makes this project remain financially sustainable. I really try to use the best hardware and software I can afford and make the videos as good as I possibly can. Currently I am building a new recording booth in my office so I can use a better camera arrangement and microphone position.

I really like the format of having the steps at the start of the tutorial. It does help with having a clear picture of what you're going to do and also what to do. Well done!😉👍

Thank you so much! Currently I'm editing the dog painting tutorial the same way and and it should be ready by this Thursday ☺️ I think you will love it!! My main regret witg the cat tutorial is the slow example was a sorta simple cat. In the dog video, I show the steps applied to a very complex type of dog.
Love that you showed us in the beginning what the tutorial will teach us. Made it so much easier to understand what each step would lead to. Your tutorials are great and I really appreciate them!
Another great tutorial. Thank you, Calvin! I like the new format, too, where you tell us “what you’re going to tell us.” Greatness.

Calvin, it so cool! Thanks a lot! Cats are absolutely lovely. Do you use a special screen protector for your iPad? Like Paperlike?
I love your process using the warp and liquify tool but I was wondering, doesn't that reduce the quality of your drawings? Since Procreate is really bad at keeping quality when moving things around I'm afraid to use any tools like this on finished drawings.

Thank you so much! liquify and warp will slightly soften things, but if you use it gently like in this video, I've never seen it to have an serious effect. If the artwork is very small though (as in, low resolution) the warp/liquify will have a much stronger softening effect. I think it's because the softening effect is absolute in term of its scale, so the effect is relatively 'worse' the smaller/low resolution your artwork is. The main thing that loses quality in procreate is the scale tool. be carful not to scale your artwork small and then large again 😰 Also same goes with warp. Don't warp your artwork small and then warp it back large again.
Oh no, the red cat has no whiskers!
