How to draw an Avocado in Procreate

Import the guide and colour palette into Procreate

Create a new layer

Use the monoline brush to draw the outline of the avocado in the first green colour

Duplicate the layer

Select the bottom of the 2 layers and fill it in using the next dark brown colour

Select the warp feature and drag the edges slightly beyond the top layer so you can see the brown colour (it doesn’t need to be completely even)

Create a new layer above the other layers

Use the next shade of green to draw in the middle of the avocado and fill it in

Create another new layer and do the same with yellow, but make it smaller again

Merge those 3 layers together and turn on alpha lock

Select gaussian blur and blur until blended

Bring the guide back up to the top layer and create a new layer

Use the next brown colour to draw a circle and fill it in

Turn on alpha lock and using the original dark brown (second colour), draw an arc on the bottom of the circle

Use the next light brown colour to draw in highlights at the top of the circle

Select gaussian blur and blend together

Duplicate the layer and fill it in using the black colour

Use warp to drag this layer just beyond the edges of the layer above so you can see it (makes more sense if you watch the video tutorial)

Duplicate the top layer again and fill it in black again.

Reduce the opacity to around 50%, turn off alpha lock and use gaussian blur to blur it slightly

Drag this layer downwards to create a shadow effect

Merge all of your layers together (make sure you either turn off or delete the guide layer first)

Duplicate the layer and turn on alpha lock

Select fill layer (you should still have black selected)

Turn off alpha lock and reduce the opacity to around 50%

Use gaussian blur to around 10-15%

Use the freeform option to drag the layer downwards and then bring the bottom up to meet itself (again, it makes more sense in the video!)

THE END!
