LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
I’m revisiting a favorite this week – line art with watercolor! I wanted to keep the palette super simple with this one (only 4 colors!) and we freehand everything with simple imperfect shapes and lots of satisfying smudging.
Spoiler: anyone who freehands beautiful line art florals practiced them by tracing or copying them at some point in time. Instead of just tracing them this week with one line, we’ll be pulling a section of florals from an existing bouquet, customize it to fit our needs, then bring the line drawing to life by adding some digital watercolor with pretty blends to finish it off. Although it starts with a basic trace, it finishes with a completely original piece of work you can use for any occasion. ✨
Happy Tuesday! We had a few 70*F weather days in February here, so springtime has been on my mind a lot lately. In the spirit of the upcoming season (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere), I’ve got a spring themed sales tag this week for you! You can use this for any kind of promo throughout the year, or change up the messaging to create a fun gift tag for any personal occasion, too!
It’s Tuesday! This week I have a very beginner friendly tutorial for you: we’re creating 3 different line art herbs (and even adding in some watercolor, too!) in Procreate. You’ll learn how to use the symmetry tool to create 3 different, symmetrical vases, how to allow a reference photo to influence your illustration (I share exactly what I look for + consider), and how to layer extra color for added depth on an otherwise flat image. We’re using my free monoweight brush for all of the illustrating portions and my paid set of watercolor lettering brushes for the painting + lettering at the end (optional).
Happy Tuesday! Time for another tutorial ;) This week, we’re creating a simple line art floral bouquet, perfect for beginners! We’ll create 5 types of florals + foliage together: violets, simple flowers, thistle, lavender and willow
