The video tutorial demonstrates creating a 2D drawing in Photoshop that can also be applied in Procreate or Adobe Illustrator. The process includes setting up a canvas, adding gradients, creating planets and moons, designing forests, constructing UFOs, adjusting lighting, adding details, and merging elements. Important terms include layer masks, marquee tool, tree brushes, gradients, and ellipses. Key points involve adding details with white color, varying tree sizes for a natural look, adjusting colors and effects, and organizing elements into groups. The video encourages experimentation and creativity with basic tools to create visually appealing designs efficiently and encourages viewers to customize their creations further.

In this segment of the video, the creator demonstrates how to easily create a 2D drawing using Photoshop. The tutorial emphasizes that the principles can be applied in Procreate on iPad or Adobe Illustrator as well. The instructor starts by setting up a blank canvas with a 9 by 16 aspect ratio for a phone wallpaper. They create a new layer with green and blue colors for the sky gradient. Then, they outline a planet using the elliptical marquee tool and apply a gradient to create the planet. A moon is added, and details are refined using masking to create an artistic effect.
00:03:00
In this segment of the video, the creator demonstrates how to add small comments or details to the design using white color. They use a tiny brush to create comments and make a copy to place them in different positions. They then move on to creating a forest by introducing trees using a simple tree brush or sourcing tree images from pixabay.com. The trees are turned into silhouettes for the design.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the creator demonstrates how to create a variation in tree copies in the design using the move tool and ctrl/command key for resizing and duplicating. They emphasize adding randomness for a natural look by adjusting the size and position of the trees. The creator then begins constructing a UFO by designing an elliptical shape, applying gradient colors, and explaining the light source direction. They organize elements into groups before moving on to creating the UFO.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the demonstration involves creating a design with different colored layers using tools like the elliptical marquee tool. The process includes filling layers with colors, adjusting their positions, erasing parts using layer masks, and creating a sphere design by layering elliptical shapes. The demonstration also involves adding light effects and adjusting colors to create a final UFO-like design.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the creator adjusts the lighting and design elements of a UFO graphic. They group the elements together, resize the UFO, change its shape, and then add a light effect by creating a yellowish rectangle above the UFO. They then use an elliptical shape to refine the light effect, adjust its perspective, and change its opacity. The creator also rearranges the positioning of trees, the UFO, and planets within the composition to achieve the desired visual effect.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the creator demonstrates how to adjust the position of UFOs and trees in a digital design. They create copies of trees to give the impression of activity happening below the UFOs. The opacity of the trees is lowered for a more subtle effect. Additionally, the creator adds a bluish color tone to the trees for enhancement. People are then added to the scene to create a visual of UFO abduction, sourced from pixabay.com. The individuals are resized and placed strategically in the design. The final step involves grouping all the elements together for organization.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the creator shows how to merge elements using control or command keys, resize them, add motion blur, and adjust colors using filters like camera filter. They demonstrate creating a cool visual by combining simple shapes and silhouettes, enhancing it with color adjustments. The final result is a subtle yet impactful transformation that viewers can customize further by adding elements like stars and UFOs. The emphasis is on understanding the methods and techniques to create visually appealing designs easily and quickly. The video encourages viewers to experiment and explore their creativity while using basic tools efficiently.
