LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
Mother’s Day is this coming Sunday, May 9th here in the US, so this week, we’re making something for Mom 😉 If you celebrate the holiday at a different time, you can adjust this gouache floral design easily for any birthday or celebratory occasion, too!
I realized I haven’t made a tutorial on custom brushes in awhile and especially since Procreate has added so many new options to making them. In the spirit of springtime (my favorite season), this week I’m sharing how to create a custom watercolor floral scatter brush *and* 3 quick ideas on how you can use it after it’s made!
I’ve had quite a few friends celebrate spring birthdays lately and it occurred to me that having a spring-themed illustration for those occasions would have been so handy! So if you have yet to celebrate a spring birthday, already have, or need something to send a loved one’s way, this week’s vid is for you 😉
Spence and I love taking morning walks on our country road and the sides of the road have recently become covered with different wildflowers! I’ve been so inspired by these walks, wondering what I’ll spot next. When thinking about this week’s tutorial, I couldn’t get them off my mind, so today I have a messy spring wildflower bouquet for you! I grabbed a source photo as a base and in the video, you’ll see how easy it is to manipulate that base and make something original from it, messy details and all 😉
It’s Tuesday! Time for another tutorial 😉
A few years ago, I shared how to create a pattern letter effect using Adobe Illustrator and I randomly came across that tutorial and wanted to give it a try in Procreate, too. With a few masking tricks and a custom diagonal line pattern brush, pattern letters in Procreate were born! This tutorial is one of my most advanced ones to date, so if you haven’t taken my free Procreate 5X for Beginners course yet, you’ll want to watch the masking module in that first. Once you understand the steps, though, this is a super fun effect you can apply to your typography or even abstract shapes for some really unique outcomes!
Happy Tuesday! I’ve got something a little different for you this week based on a convo Spence and I had a few weeks ago. Behind the scenes, Spence has been redesigning our website and we always bounce ideas off one another for the different pages. When it came to our contact page, we were thinking of adding a surprise animation once someone hits ‘send’, so I put together this quick idea and we both loved it. It’ll be a little while before the design is live (since Spence is doing everything from design to code), but I’m already excited for this easy paper airplane animation to take flight on the page.
Happy early St. Patrick’s Day! This week, I’m sending some extra luck your way with a realistic watercolor 4 leaf clover in Procreate! Read on for the full tutorial!
It’s Tuesday! This week, I’m kicking off a 3 part Valentine’s Day tutorial series! We’ll start simple and then progressively get more complex over the next two weeks. In today’s beginner friendly tutorial, we’ll draw a
Happy Tuesday! If you’re looking to get a little more organized this year, I’ve got a monthly calendar this week to help! We’ll be designing a monthly calendar at a large scale and utilize a drawing
Happy Tuesday! With it being January (and the coldest month for us in the US state of Georgia), I wanted to make something this week with blues and purples, but something that still reminded me of
Happy Tuesday! This week we’re returning to one of my favorite styles: flat florals! This style is very beginner friendly; the hardest part is keeping your layers organized as you work so you can move and manipulate your elements as your flat fall bouquet comes to life. In this video, there are a bunch of elements, so if you want some good layer practice, this is it 😉
Happy Tuesday! This week, we’re going to have some fun with fall watercolor lettering! If you saw my live workshop with Design Cuts last week, this will look familiar ;) It was such a fun project to
