The Art of Frustration: A Procreate Tutorial Gone Awry

As we begin our tutorial on Procreate, it's clear that our artist is feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness. "You wanna keep this color as pure as you can," they say, indicating their desire to maintain the integrity of their artwork. But as we delve deeper into the process, it becomes apparent that things are not going as planned.

The artist's use of bold statements and exclamations reveals their frustration with the program. "What are you saying?" they ask, seemingly taken aback by the options available to them. Their partner responds with a calm demeanor, suggesting that they take their time and work slowly. But the artist is too far gone, racing through the process with reckless abandon.

The camera pans out to reveal a stunning splash of color, but the artist's enthusiasm is short-lived. "Yeah but his looks better!" they exclaim, indicating a sense of discontent with their own work. Their partner tries to reassure them, suggesting that everyone has their own unique style, but the artist is not convinced.

As we move on to the next step, the artist reveals a more abstract approach to art. "I'm more of an abstract artist, I just can't work in these conditions," they confess. They're struggling to find their footing with Procreate, and it's clear that they're feeling overwhelmed.

The conversation turns to the color palette, with the artist seeking guidance on how to achieve a specific look. "Okay, now what do you want me to do?" they ask, sounding like a student in need of instruction. Their partner responds with calm, reassuring words, suggesting that they trust their instincts and experiment with different techniques.

As we continue along, the artist reveals a sense of frustration with their progress. "I think we've been filming for like an hour now," they say, sounding exasperated. They've been working on this tutorial for 26 minutes, but it feels like an eternity to them. Their partner tries to reassure them, suggesting that they take breaks and come back to the project later.

The camera cuts to a new scene, where the artist is working with a bike and rain-soaked sky. "Okay um, it's kinda rainy out and I'm riding a bicycle," they explain, sounding like they're trying to set the mood for their art. They apologize for the delay, but their partner reassures them that there's no need to hurry.

As we return to the tutorial, the artist reveals a newfound sense of calm. "So sky!" they exclaim, indicating a renewed focus on their artwork. They begin to merge different elements together, creating a stunning effect. "This just changed the game," they say, sounding like they're experiencing a moment of artistic epiphany.

The artist delves deeper into the program, experimenting with new techniques and effects. "Alright, so this is gonna be something that you're gonna wanna print out," they explain, indicating their desire to create a tangible representation of their art. They add highlights to rocks, using Procreate to bring them to life.

As we near the end of the tutorial, the artist reveals a sense of frustration with their progress. "I keep getting Postmates notifications," they say, sounding like they're struggling to stay focused. Their partner reassures them, suggesting that they take breaks and come back to the project later.

In the final moments of our tutorial, the artist reveals a stunning piece of art. "This is my art. My art is done," they say, sounding like they're finally satisfied with their work. They sign off on the artwork, indicating a sense of completion and accomplishment. The camera pans out to reveal the finished product, a breathtaking masterpiece that showcases the artist's unique style.

In the end, it's clear that our artist has learned a valuable lesson about patience and perseverance. Despite the frustrations and setbacks, they persisted and created something truly remarkable. As we watch the final moments of the tutorial unfold, we can't help but feel inspired by their creativity and determination.
