All right, it is time for us to do our first assignment here in this course by now you should have a really good sense of a few of these sections here on procreate, we have covered the canvas section on procreate, we have covered some of the sections and tools around the UI. We've also taken a look at working with brushes, as well as working with quick shape. We've taken a look at the power of grids and also look at the layer options and diving into colors a little bit as well. So now that we have that understanding, what I would like to do for this assignment is to ask you to draw three main solids here on your canvas. So we're going to make a cube. We're going to make a cone and a sphere, how you want to display how we want to compose these elements.

I'm going to leave it up to you but in this lesson, I'm going to be showing you how I've done it. So the only rules that I have for This lesson is that you try to create these three solids, and you also use the following features. One of the solids, we're going to be using the reference layer. The other solid, we're going to be using the clipping mask features. And the last one, we're going to be using layer mask features. So however you want to color them however you want to texture these elements, it's totally up to you.

And lastly, we are going to be using grids in order to make this composition. So the first thing here to do is to create a new file. So we're going to create a new screen size file whatever iPad resolution you have on your end. Here, we're going to create a resolution to the iPad Pro. And by creating this new file, the first thing we're going to do is to head into the Actions menu and some menu off canvas and we're going to turn on drawing guide. But now we're going to click on Edit drawing guide.

As we actually want to start with a perspective grid, so you probably have a 2d grid right off the bat. Here on the Perspective Grid, we're going to set up two points, one on the left one on the right, and we're going to space them out as so we're also going to leave the horizon line pretty much at the center of the vertical center of the screen. So we're going to click Done. And now we're going to start drawing our solids. What I like to do here in any illustration that I actually create, I first start with a sketch layer. So in this sketch layer here, as you can see, I'm creating each solid with a different color.

And that is, so it's visually easier for me to understand which line belongs to each solid. So now that I have that layer, it is time to start creating the real objects. So in my first layer, I'm actually going to use black outlines to make my cube. And once I have that, I'm going to click here on the layer and I'm going to select reference layer with That I'm going to drop a few colors onto new layers. So that's why I'm painting this cube with blue different blue tones on each facet is because we're using the power of reference layer for that one in one of the layers, I'm going to actually use it as to pink some shadows on the cube. And with another layer also as a clipping mask, I'm going to paint some textures, such as this stripe pattern for the cone element, I'm actually going to use some layer masking and do some experiments with that.

And finally for the circle, I'm going to also use a combination of select and fill with clipping masks as well in order to give a little bit of shading. So with the fill, I'm going to change the color of the sphere, as well as with the clipping mask, I'm going to add a little bit of light and shadows. So once again, however you want to draw these elements, it's totally up to you. The only rules here is to actually use the grids in This case the Perspective Grid, use these features such as clipping masks, layer masks and reference layers and create a composition. This may be your first illustration if you've actually never used procreate, but this is just an exercise in order for you to use all of the tools that so far in this course, we're studied. So take your time now to actually complete this assignment.

And now just have some fun creating this illustration and I'll see you on the next lesson.
