My friends from Archer & Olive got in touch recently to tell me about their line of Procreate assets! Once I saw their calendar stamps, I knew I had to add them to a design, so this week, we’re creating a digital weekly planner, all in Procreate. We’re even putting it into a spiral bound notebook we’ll make from scratch, too!

I’ve had numerous requests recently for a vid explaining how I create my color palettes, so that’s what we’re talking about this week! This is a big topic since there are so many different ways to create harmonious color palettes. This video focuses on my favorite go-to method which I’ve found to be pretty fail safe. You may not have seen this method before, so I hope it’s one you’ll enjoy and continue to use! 🎨

I’ve got a 3 part ‘love series’ leading up to Valentine’s Day this year and today is tutorial no. 1! These will all be beginner/intermediate skill levels, so if you’re a more advanced user, there’s plenty of opportunity to take the designs in any direction that you’d like. This week, we’re getting things started with a little coffee date ☕️

To keep things extra organized this year, I thought it’d be fun to create a new calendar design (here’s last year’s version!). For this one, we’ll be creating a versatile wreath that can be used for any month of the year. I’m also sharing a new method I’ve come up with for creating uniform spacing within the calendar no matter what size 2D grid you use 🙂

What better way to start a new year than with some fresh winter watercolor florals?! This week, we’re creating border elements and saving lots of time by reusing the main elements, but also painting in some one-off foliage to increase variety. There’s a lot of layer practice in this one, so if you’re brand new to Procreate, your layering knowledge will be solid after following along 😉 

I’ve had a few requests for advanced tutorials lately, so we’re closing out the year with my most advanced tutorial to date: complex ribbons! If you’re brand new to Procreate, you’ll want to take my free course before tackling this beauty. We’ll be combining selections, masking variations and depth effects, along with determining hierarchy within our ribbon folds. Even if you are a more advanced Procreate user, my hope is that you’ll still learn a few new tricks you can carry with you into the new year 😉

It’s time for our final tutorial (no.6) in this year’s holiday series! But don’t worry – I still have a New Year’s design up my sleeve for next week 😉 Today, we’re creating holiday lights, surrounding them with evergreen elements and then making our bulbs and lettering glow! I’m labeling this an intermediate tutorial, but there are a few advanced skills thrown in, too, if you’re up for an extra challenge.
