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. There was no figuring out where to put supplies, or how to juggle a sketchbook on my lap, or being confined to the table. The other bonus ...
Today I have two more teacher cards for you. I used Teacher from Waffle Flower and Color My World from WPlus9 to build these. I kept the design simple with some Copic coloring, using a limited palette. Limiting your color palette can be a great way to challenge your creative skills.
With my layout complete, I opted to Copic color these images, with my limited color palette selection and I gotta say the results are so fun! I love these colors together. To complete the simplicity of these cards I adhered them to a black card base.
Each card was stamped, colored, and then cut with the Simon Says Stamp Wonky Rectangles dies. In order to get the "teacher" to line up the way I wanted I stamped the "you color my world" portion first, then removed that stamp from my platform. Then I lined the "teacher" sentiment up and stamped it. After I had my sentiment in place I added to brush, paint tube, and puddles of paint to the panel.
