Simple & Easy Stream Overlay Tutorial ⭐️ Using Procreate

[00:00] hi YouTube my name is the Jade plans and

[00:02] today I'm going to be showing you guys

[00:03] how I create my cute twitch overlays

[00:06] using

[00:10] procreate first we're going to begin

[00:12] with a new canvas to create a new canvas

[00:15] hit the plus icon at the top right of

[00:17] the screen and then select the new

[00:19] project icon for the width we're going

[00:22] to put 1920 and for the height we're

[00:24] going to put 1080 this is the universal

[00:27] aspect ratio for YouTube videos most

[00:29] live streaming platforms and the typical

[00:31] size for most video games as well for

[00:34] the DPI DPI stands for Dots per inch I

[00:37] always put 600 for overlays as this

[00:40] ensures your artwork will look clear and

[00:42] high quality now we can select create

[00:44] and we are in our new blank canvas first

[00:47] thing we need to do here is create a

[00:48] space or a cutout for where our gameplay

[00:51] screen and our webcam is going to be we

[00:54] will do this by dragging over the color

[00:56] black and filling in our entire canvas

[01:00] now we're going to hit the wrench icon

[01:02] on the top left and save this blank

[01:05] black canvas as a PNG file to your

[01:08] camera roll we did this to ensure that

[01:10] our gameplay screen is still within the

[01:12] 1920 x 1080 aspect ratio if you just try

[01:16] to draw it by hand you're more likely to

[01:18] be inaccurate and we want to make sure

[01:19] it's that aspect ratio so that your

[01:21] gameplay screen fits perfectly in there

[01:23] now we can close that menu and head back

[01:24] to our blank canvas I'm going to go

[01:26] ahead and delete the black screen layer

[01:29] because we don't need that anymore um we

[01:31] will be importing that image from our

[01:32] camera roll when we need that again then

[01:35] I'm going to add a new blank layer now

[01:37] on the blank layer drag over the color

[01:39] you'd like to use for your base or your

[01:41] background color I went with this muted

[01:44] yellowy orange as I'm going with a more

[01:46] lighter pastel themed overlay but you

[01:49] can really pick any color you like now

[01:51] we are going to import our gameplay

[01:54] screen so again hitting the wrench on

[01:56] the top left of the screen we're going

[01:59] to select insert a photo and then go

[02:01] ahead and select the black image from

[02:03] the camera roll now that it is imported

[02:07] we are now in resizing mode in

[02:10] procreate resizing mode is that little

[02:12] cursor icon on the top left and you want

[02:15] to make sure when you're resizing and

[02:16] you want to keep the dimensions you have

[02:19] the option uniform selected this ensures

[02:23] that per crate does not randomly resize

[02:25] or reshape whatever image you just put

[02:27] in it'll keep the original aspect ratio

[02:30] we can resize and move the gameplay

[02:33] screen to wherever you like on your

[02:36] [Music]

[02:42] screen I'm heading back into the layer

[02:45] section on the top right and I'm swiping

[02:48] on our gameplay screen to duplicate it

[02:50] I'm selecting the cursor menu again to

[02:53] resize and now I'm selecting free form

[02:56] free form allows me to move around the

[02:58] aspect ratio so it's not going to keep

[02:59] true to the size but that's okay so that

[03:01] is for our

[03:04] [Music]

[03:18] webcam and I'm also retitling them just

[03:21] to stay

[03:28] organized

[03:38] [Music]

[03:39] now for the background I wanted to do a

[03:41] grid background so I'm adding a new

[03:44] layer and I'm finding the grid brush

[03:46] under textures and I'm making a grid

[03:48] style

[03:51] [Music]

[03:58] design

[04:07] [Music]

[04:16] [Music]

[04:22] a cool trick on how to rec color if

[04:24] you're not happy with what color you

[04:25] chose you pick the Magic Brush on the

[04:28] top left and go a hue saturation and

[04:30] brightness and from here you can change

[04:32] the color of whatever layer you're

[04:34] selected

[04:35] [Music]

[04:52] on now we're going to begin drawing and

[04:55] I want to draw some cute

[04:57] flowers again I want to do like a cute

[04:59] Kawai pastel style overlay so I'm going

[05:02] to draw some flowers the brush that I'm

[05:04] mostly going to be using for this art

[05:05] piece is the brush monol

[05:08] line you can find that under the

[05:10] calligraphy section under procreate and

[05:12] I've selected modoline and I've gone

[05:14] into the settings and I'm just adjusting

[05:16] the stabilization to about

[05:26] [Music]

[05:28] 55%

[05:36] I'm going to draw in some plants just

[05:37] some little Vines

[05:44] [Music]

[05:53] [Music]

[05:58] here

[06:01] [Music]

[06:13] [Music]

[06:22] [Music]

[06:30] [Music]

[06:36] [Music]

[06:43] and we're also going to draw in some

[06:48] [Music]

[06:58] flowers again you can see I'm using the

[07:00] resize function on procrete to move

[07:03] around a

[07:09] [Music]

[07:16] [Music]

[07:23] layer and I'm drawing on some flower

[07:25] tops as

[07:26] well you'll also notice that I typically

[07:29] add a new layer every single time I do a

[07:32] new section of the art

[07:34] piece so I draw each piece on its own

[07:37] layer this is a good habit to get into

[07:39] because it allows you to go and fix your

[07:41] mistakes much easier than if you were to

[07:43] draw everything on the same

[07:50] [Music]

[07:58] layer

[07:59] [Music]

[08:19] [Music]

[08:28] [Music]

[08:36] [Music]

[08:42] [Music]

[08:48] so I do those two little flowers and I'm

[08:50] going to draw some more

[08:52] here now I want to add some detailing

[08:55] onto this peie type flower I just drew

[08:58] so I'm add adding a new layer and I'm

[09:00] selecting clipping mask under the layer

[09:04] settings a clipping mask is basically

[09:06] your clipping the top layer to the

[09:08] bottom and that makes it so you can only

[09:09] draw within the bounds of the layer it's

[09:12] clipped onto the clipping mask allows

[09:14] you to easily stay in the lines of

[09:16] whatever layer you're trying to draw

[09:22] [Music]

[09:28] onto

[09:38] [Music]

[09:47] [Music]

[09:56] [Music]

[10:04] and once I'm done with the clipping mask

[10:06] I just merged it down to the layer below

[10:08] so now they're attached to one another I

[10:10] duplicated it and I'm adding the other

[10:12] peie Bud onto the other

[10:16] [Music]

[10:25] [Music]

[10:28] stem

[10:34] [Music]

[10:39] and we're drawing on some

[10:42] [Music]

[10:48] [Music]

[10:58] leaves

[11:00] [Music]

[11:11] [Music]

[11:21] [Music]

[11:28] [Music]

[11:41] and then I wanted to go with this like

[11:43] watercolor area for the stream alerts so

[11:46] I have gone into the painting brushes

[11:49] and I picked the brush

[11:51] Spectra and I'm adding some watercolor

[11:55] [Music]

[11:57] smudges

[12:02] [Music]

[12:06] and I've duplicated that into three so

[12:09] that they're all the same and I'm just

[12:11] readjusting them using the readjust and

[12:13] resize function of

[12:15] [Music]

[12:27] procreate

[12:31] [Music]

[12:40] [Music]

[12:48] [Music]

[12:50] and I've renamed them so we're organized

[12:52] and that's how those look and then I'm

[12:55] also adding a chat box using the same

[12:57] brush on its own

[12:59] [Music]

[13:17] [Music]

[13:21] layer I resized it a bit to straighten

[13:23] it out and there you are now at this

[13:27] point you'll notice

[13:34] [Music]

[13:51] I am playing around with the vines a

[13:52] little bit and I'm moving them around

[13:54] the screen as I ended up not loving the

[13:56] placement of where I put them and that's

[13:57] why I suggest drawing each art piece

[14:00] onto its own layer so you can easily

[14:01] readjust and move stuff around without

[14:03] having to redraw

[14:08] [Music]

[14:17] [Music]

[14:27] things

[14:37] [Music]

[14:43] so now that I'm happy with the vines I'm

[14:45] just going through my layer organization

[14:48] and combining the flowers down so that

[14:51] the flower buds are on the same layer as

[14:54] the stems cuz I'm done drawing them now

[14:56] I've made sure everything is labeled

[14:58] properly

[15:00] [Music]

[15:05] now we are going to cut out the webcam

[15:08] and the gameplay screen so you want to

[15:10] merge down the webcam slot and the

[15:13] gameplay slot onto your background layer

[15:15] so it's all one layer next we're using

[15:19] the cutout tool on procreate you can see

[15:21] I have it selected it's a little

[15:22] squiggle on the top left make sure that

[15:24] you've selected the light your

[15:26] background and your gameplay screen

[15:27] layer the one we just merged down make

[15:29] sure that's selected select the

[15:31] rectangle tool and drag over where your

[15:34] gameplay screen

[15:40] [Music]

[15:44] is now we're going to select the Eraser

[15:47] tool and just erase that section you've

[15:57] selected

[16:05] [Music]

[16:14] [Music]

[16:20] and do it again the same steps for where

[16:22] the webcam is we're going to erase

[16:24] [Music]

[16:27] it

[16:31] [Music]

[16:43] [Music]

[16:53] and now we have proper cutouts where the

[16:56] gameplay screen is and the webcam screen

[17:00] [Music]

[17:03] the last step is to add text this step

[17:05] is optional you don't have to do this

[17:07] but I find that it looks nice and

[17:08] organized we're going to add text onto

[17:11] the alert boxes and the chat box to add

[17:14] text we're going to use the wrench tool

[17:15] on the top left and select add text put

[17:19] whatever wording you would

[17:21] [Music]

[17:27] like

[17:29] [Music]

[17:38] to edit the text once you've chosen the

[17:39] placement under the layer menu select

[17:42] whatever text you just put down and then

[17:45] choose edit text you can go change the

[17:48] color of your text or the font or

[17:50] anything like that I'm just playing

[17:52] around with

[17:57] it

[18:02] [Music]

[18:11] [Music]

[18:18] I'm adding a Dropbox to the text by

[18:21] duplicating the text I changed the color

[18:24] of the layer below and then I moved it

[18:27] so that it adds a Shadow effect to my

[18:29] [Music]

[18:47] text I'm also just playing around with

[18:49] the colors to see which one stands out

[18:50] more and there is our

[18:57] text

[19:06] [Music]

[19:12] [Music]

[19:35] [Music]

[19:45] [Music]

[19:52] [Music]

[19:58] to recolor the drop shadow layer I'm

[20:00] just adding a clipping mask onto the

[20:02] text I would to recolor and I'm painting

[20:04] over it easily and then I'm merging it

[20:06] down so that that text is the new

[20:17] [Music]

[20:27] color

[20:30] [Music]

[20:35] [Music]

[20:55] [Music]

[20:57] he

[21:04] [Music]

[21:12] [Music]

[21:18] [Music]

[21:41] [Music]

[21:51] [Music]

[21:53] as you can see I'm doing that for all

[21:54] three of the alert boxes I chose recent

[21:57] follow

[21:59] recent sub and recent cheer and then I'm

[22:01] adding one for the chat box as

[22:14] [Music]

[22:23] [Music]

[22:26] well

[22:32] [Music]

[22:41] [Music]

[23:01] [Music]

[23:10] [Music]

[23:18] [Music]

[23:24] [Music]

[23:47] [Music]

[23:57] [Music]

[24:04] [Music]
