Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate. My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process. The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was.

Can I just say these pencils blend like butter! This panel took me several hours to complete, but I love how it turned out. I stamped the background stamp onto Bristol Paper and then began coloring. I took pics as I went, the next few pics will give you a look at the progression of the coloring. Once I completed the coloring I did some blending with Gamsol to smooth out the colors. I'm not sure if I will leave this panel intact and create a square card, or if I will cut it into pieces for several cards. For now, I have it propped on my desk for inspiration.
