creating a thatched leaf penguin house in procreate- episode 8
video - Episode 8
Drawing whimsical, playful houses and buildings in Procreate is a great way to bring a feeling of home to your illustrations.
Buildings are home to our dreams.
They can also be home to mischievous penguins living in Antarctica with bird-like houses, throwing snowballs with giant slingshots, and roasting marshmallows on the ice and snow.
In today's video chat episode number eight, I share what I was thinking about as I was creating this leaf thatched house in Procreate for a custom illustration project.

00:00:01.540 --> 00:00:01.780
I am
00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:04.180
Denise Palmer, and I am an illustrator,
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.180
artist and surface pattern designer working out of my studio close to the
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:13.940
Gulf of Mexico where water adventures and botanical plants surround my
00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:14.973
everyday life.
00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:19.100
Welcome to these video chats where I talk about some of the techniques I've used
00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:23.980
to create my artwork and chat about all things illustration, art, and design.
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.900
In this short time-lapse video,
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:32.260
I am illustrating a little penguin house that
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:37.580
is going to be at the edge of Antarctica
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.100
and a playful penguin design that I will share at the end of this
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:45.380
timelapse video. But I,
00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:50.820
in this video you can see that I'm going to incorporate the thatched
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:54.340
roof sketch into the finished, finished illustration.
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.620
And I am just adding in some of the detail because I already have
00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:02.460
the sketch of the house laid out,
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.620
and I was just thinking about what would a penguin's house look like
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.170
that wasn't your typical like igloo or something.
00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:16.720
And I had in my mind that these playful penguins were
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:18.440
also mischievous in a way.
00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:23.520
And so I had to make sure that there were some details that
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:27.880
reflect that in the overall design. This is the,
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.320
a closeup of the finished pattern design and with the penguin house
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:34.120
in it,
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.240
although there are several other different houses and some other details that do
00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:41.240
add some mischievousness to it,
00:01:43.050 --> 00:01:45.300
here is a more zoomed out view.
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.140
You can see I have penguins that are throwing snowballs and
00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:55.140
roasting marshmallows. So, and I named this pattern, um,
00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:56.300
penguin Playground.
00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:00.820
