James Julier Tutorial - Tumblr Posts

YouTube Tutorial Take One

Did some googling around looking for interesting tutorials to try, after some trial and error tried James Julier. In part because I like his style, but mostly because he uses the default brushes and I didn’t have to worry about downloading anything to give it a try 😊

I actually didn’t finish this one, got a little overwhelmed by trying to paint and follow along. Lots of pausing and rewinding. Might go back and finish it another time, we’ll see.

YouTube Tutorial Take Two

This time I finished it! 😊

Tried doing another James Julier tutorial, this time the “snow landscape drawing” one. Persevered through the pauses and rewinds and finished it. Not too bad 😊

Palm Tree Tropical Island Tutorial

This would be my third James Julier tutorial, the second that I completed. A nice beach scene with classic palm trees. I think I’m getting better at following along 😊

Mountain Sunrise

Continuing with the James Julier tutorials, this one is called ‘mountain sunrise landscape’.

Mountain Lake Landscape

Continuing with the James Julier tutorials, a nice mountain landscape.

I recently discovered the canvas information tab in Procreate, looks like it took me about two hours to do this one. Basically about double the tutorial time with all the pausing and rewinding 😊

Waterfall Tree Sunset

Another James Julier tutorial.

I don’t know, I feel like if there were more cherry blossom trees this could be a scene from a xianxia drama 😁

Already into my April pictures, May wasn’t super productive art wise, I think I need to draw a little more this month or I might start running out of art.

The Northern Lights

Back to the James Julier tutorials with the Northern Lights Mountain painting.

A Field of Flowers

A field of pretty wildflowers, curtesy of James Julier 😊

The Beach

Completed the ‘beach grass landscape’ by James Julier.

Trees at Sunset

Another James Julier tutorial, a landscape with some trees at sunset.

Waterfalls

April was a good month, managed to do quite a few pieces. This one is the waterfall landscape tutorial from James Julier.

Woodland Scene

Some trees with a flower meadow landscape, following along to a James Julier tutorial.

A Sea of Blue

One of James Julier’s older tutorials, the Pacific Islands landscape. Pretty blues 😊

Mountains and a River

I think this “mountain river” tutorial from James Julier came out nicely 😊

A Fantasy Landscape

Tried the ‘snow tree and stars’ tutorial from James Julier. It gives off a bit of a fantasy vibe 😊

Have to admit, I got slightly distracted towards the end and the snow dunes aren’t exactly perfect, but that’s okay, it’s the journey not the destination 😊
