How to Draw Midcentury Style Movie Popcorn // Procreate Tutorial
Learn how to draw a midcentury-style illustration in this Procreate tutorial!
Let’s draw a cute box of movie popcorn! You’ll learn to use Procreate’s QuickShape feature to make a precise sketch, a time-shaving shortcut for drawing stripes, an easy way to add cast shadows, and how to not overthink the details. For this tutorial, I’ll be using one of my Magic Paper textured canvases for a print-like watercolor texture and brushes from my Midcentury Illustrators kit for that perfect, vintage-style line work.
Special thanks to Sam Aker for lending me her artwork for this tutorial!
