How to draw juicy watercolor Tomato in Procreate| tutorial
A ripe, glossy tomato is one of those small illustrations that punches way above its weight — it’s simple to paint, but it looks incredibly effective once it’s done. It’s a perfect fit for anything in the La Dolce Vita, Italian-summer style, but it works just as well for farmers market branding, harvest-themed designs, or any food illustration project.
Here’s a little secret: red is usually one of the trickiest colors to paint, in any medium. But in digital watercolor, it’s actually easy — and this tutorial will show you exactly how.
In this step-by-step video, I’ll show you how to paint a juicy, glossy tomato using my Soft Watercolor Procreate Brushes.

About the brushes
This tutorial uses my own Soft Watercolor Procreate Brushes. I’m a watercolor artist myself, and I built these brushes from my own hand-painted textures — so they behave like real watercolor: soft edges, natural color blending, and glossy highlights that are genuinely hard to get with a default Procreate brush.
