LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
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!
This week, we’re drawing a wrapped flower bouquet in Procreate! We’re adding a little bit of complexity to things by creating several floral elements and working in a very organized fashion with layers and groups. We’re also adding in a few shadow elements to add dimension to the whole piece. We’ll finish it off with a sweet message – hand lettered or with editable text.
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 last Tuesday of 2020! We’re finishing up this year’s episodes of my Procreate holiday greeting series today with a New Year’s greeting!
In the spirit of wishing 2020 farewell for good, I thought it’d be fun to create a little mistletoe greeting to send it off 😉
In the tutorial, we’ll first look at a reference photo of mistletoe pulled from my pinterest board, then we’ll sketch out our full layout. We’ll fully freehand our mistletoe based on what we saw in our reference image, then add in a little hand lettering with some dotted swirls as a finishing touch. We’re using my paid set of watercolor illustration brushes for this, as well as my free dotted brush and the color palette is free, as always (also available in the Resource Library).
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
Happy Tuesday! I’ve got a fun beginner-friendly tutorial for you this week! In today’s tutorial, we’re creating a bouquet of flat fall florals using a free color palette + free brush! In the video, you’ll learn
Happy Tuesday! This week, I'm sharing my version of a watercolor honey bee in Procreate! In the tut, you'll learn how to freehand your sketch layer using Procreate's symmetry options, create extra depth in your watercolors
Happy Tuesday! This week, we’re changing things up a bit and trying out a new style! In this week’s video, we’re creating watercolor sketch style basil in Procreate. This is a loose, fun style that gives you a lot of freedom and permission to experiment (also perfect for beginners ;). In the video, we create a sketch based on a photograph, then layer in limited color to build a little depth. We finish things up with a texture and color layered shadow for extra dimension and add in some sketch style lettering to tie everything together.
Hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! This week, I had planned to teach one macrame hanging planter, but once I did one, I did another…and then another, so you’re getting 3 of them today 😉 These are all drawn with my free monoweight brush and I put in some simple watercolor plant doodles with this brush set and lettering with this set, but please feel free to create any style of plant or flowers you’d like! This tutorial is a little more advanced, so if the pace is too quick, check out some of my other tutorials first. I can’t wait to see what you do with these – there are a bunch of beginner-friendly flower + plant tutorials in this playlist if you’d like some extra practice!
Happy Tuesday! This week, I have a sweet treat for you..macarons! I won’t lie, these def gave me cravings as I was painting, so beware (or have some handy ahead of time ;). In the video, we trace a reference photo to establish our sketch template, then use the photo loosely for painting in our midtones, highlights and shadows. We use several brushes from my watercolor illustration brush set to paint, smudge and add final details, like a watercolor paper texture, hand lettering and paint splatter. Pick up the free color palette and head to the full tut here!
It’s Tuesday! Time for another tutorial ;) This week, we’re painting a watercolor snake plant in Procreate! Although we’re using my paid set of watercolor illustration brushes for this, you can use the exact process shown
It’s Tuesday! This week I have a summer treat: watercolor popsicles! Since Father’s Day is later this month, it can also double as an ecard, too! This is a little above beginner as far as skill
