Drawing in Pocket Procreate on my flight home…turbulent, so I only used dots. Fun and somehow echoes all the spectacles of New York City.
A Certain Something

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 …
Getting my Art Deco on…
This colorful drawing was a fun jumping-off point for a digital symmetrical design. The crudely colored sections can be easily modified by filters…keeping the shapes I like, and fixing the coloring that I don’t like. I loved the little arrows that popped up in the symmetry from the negative space around the drawing.

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
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 …
