Borrowing color from a floral arrangement
When in Vegas, I never miss a chance to visit the Bellagio resort, as I can always count on a feast for the eyes. This floral arrangement caught me eye, and has been a great source for creating color palettes: Purple and orange seem like unlikely friends at first. Many years ago, my husband and I purchased a new condo, …
Drawing Mandalas on my iPad
When does a series become an obsession? I have discovered the symmetry tools available in Procreate for the iPad, and can’t quit playing with them! This “drawing assist” repeats the line as you draw, allowing you to immediately see the shapes and patterns formed by the symmetrical option chosen. Most of these were drawn using radial symmetry, though a few …
Combining Zentangle Drawing with Watercolor Layers
First piece drawn in a while, in the post-holiday quiet. I finally took the plunge with a Skillshare trial in order to learn more about using Procreate on the iPad. After just a few hours last night, I’m sold. I’m only half-way through a short class and have already picked up enough new tips to keep me drawing and exploring …
New Symmetrical element
Last night’s iPad drawing, just black and white this time. Everything is on one layer. It was easily vectorized in Illustrator, so now on to the next step…which direction? Color Ribbon border White tangles in the black border? Scarf design? The time-lapse video of this drawing is extra fun when all those little stripes come in: …
Symmetrical, but not really a mandala
This digital drawing was an experiment in switching between symmetry grids in Procreate throughout the drawing. I used both Quadrant Symmetry and Rotational Symmetry. The switching had to be done carefully, because elements didn’t automatically line up as easily when using a different grid. Black, white and two colors of green, no shading
Mookah Mandala
Here’s a mandala drawn with Procreate, using the software’s Quadrant Symmetry drawing assist enabled. The shading learned through Zentangle really brings it alive – and Zentangle people will recognize the Mookah tangle. I think I’d like to see a variation with a tighter crop so the detail in the middle is more visible. This time-lapse video shows my steps (and …
A wreath for my favorite season
To set up a the inside and outside borders of the wreath, on a separate layer, I touched the center of the drawing canvas once with a large brush, resulting in a circle. I moved the circle to center it on the middle of the drawing guides and turned the opacity down. That gave me a faint guide to draw …
Drawing on the iPad, Exploring Procreate
The Procreate app on my iPad continues to amaze me! I’m working on an older iPad with a generic stylus, and my fingers. I can only imagine how great this must be when using a top-of-the-line iPad with the Apple Pen – I understand that gives you pressure sensitivity, so you can make larger lines by pressing harder, lighter strokes …
Through the fire
Definitely from the put-down-some-marks-and-then-see-what-you-see School of Drawing. I started in Procreate with watercolor washes in fall colors, then experimented with various brushes likes flames, circles, spatters and spray paint.
