LETTERING + GRAPHIC
DESIGN LEARNING
I feel like I will always have a need for cute and simple flower doodles. Whether it’s for an icon on a website or social media cover image, to even logos, stickers and stamps, or using with bullet journaling. The effort to create them definitely stretches far, and when it’s digital, reusing them couldn’t be easier 😉 This week, we’re diving into one of my all time favorites: messy watercolor flowers!
My 4 year old daughter and I have been making pancakes lately. A LOT of pancakes (starting to think it’s mostly a ploy for all-you-can-dip syrup at this point). Because she’s 4, we started out by simply following the recipe: pour the mix in, stir in the water until the batter is just right, then head to the stove. Once making pancakes each day became a thing, keeping it basic got a little…yawn after awhile.
I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day arrive without some watercolor florals! I was a little hesitant to share my sketching process for these 🫣, but I wanted you to see that a sketch does not need to be a beautiful thing to lead to a beautiful thing… especially in this style.
This tutorial can be adjusted to fit any occasion throughout the year – just change up the colors for a completely different feel! You can also control how much messiness you’d like to inject by increasing or reducing the wash and splatter elements at the end. Other than that, just let the brushes + stamps do the rest of the work for you 😉
Another Tuesday, another tutorial! In case you missed it, I just released my newest class, Watercolor Florals in Procreate, yesterday! The course covers how to create a variety of different florals and today, I wanted to share one of the first lessons from the class – how to create watercolor floral doodles! You can use the brushes shown in the video or you can use your own brushes if you’d like to change up the style. Use these on stationery, social media or even create a logo out of them. They’re really fun (and easy) to make and you’ll be able to follow along, even if you’re opening Procreate for the very first time.
Happy Tuesday! Today, I’ve got a tutorial that will hopefully bring a little extra sunshine to this quarantine
While my heart will always be tied especially close to traditional art supplies, I love the possibilities Procreate now provides. I love being able to experiment with new brushes and paint in a way that can feel so realistic…digitally! I have a bonus section of my Watercolor Lettering in Procreate course that goes over the basics of watercolor leaves and florals in Procreate. If you haven’t checked the course out yet, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek this week with a winter watercolor bouquet in Procreate! I hope this will inspire you to create your own versions and play around with either the default water brushes or this set – read on to see how!
