NEW CLASS ALERT! I just posted my latest @Skillshare class where you will learn step by step how I create my vintage inspired, light up (and animated!) marquee signs and letters using Procreate! You can use these as home decor, on seamless patterns, greeting cards and wrapping paper. The animated versions can be used as fun posts on social media, your website or as an e-card greeting. With the class you will receive a set of free brushes and stamps, as well as two color palettes I created just for the class. Find the link to the class (plus one free month if you aren’t already a Skillshare member) at the link in my bio! See you in class and happy creating! ❤️
Coming up… on the YouTubes.
It’s almost done! My latest Skillshare class, “Vintage Inspired Marquees in Procreate,” is almost done and will be dropping this week! When you take the class, you will receive my Marquee Lights brush pack that I created just for the class, which includes a fun marquee light brush that bulb brush sourced from a real marquee bulb. I will show you how to create your signs, light them up then save them as either static illustrations for greeting cards, kitchen art and more or save them as animated gifs to use on social media or as a fun eCard friends and family. If you aren’t already following my Skillshare channel, you can find it at the link in my profile. When you hit follow you will always know as soon as I publish a new class! Can’t wait to share this new one and see what you create ❤️
NEW TUTORIAL ALERT! I just posted a new tutorial, on my YouTube Channel, all about using #AffinityPhoto to quickly, and easily, remove the backgrounds from scanned images. I'll show you how to use the "Erase White Paper," filter and give you a few tips I found created a much better outcome. You can use this to remove the backgrounds from line art, isolate analog creations for seamless patterns and, of course, my favorite, remove the backgrounds from scanned textures.⁠
I have reached my first full year on @Skillshare and I have to say, it has been the most amazing ride. As I continue to work on classes, seeing the beautiful projects students are posting, and the lovely reviews being left, is fuel to keep me going so THANK YOU to everyone who has taken my classes. I wanted to share a few reviews from one of my latest classes, "Illustrated Birds & Birdhouses for Affinity Designer," because this was honestly one of my favorite to create. (Swipe left) Seeing that others have enjoyed taking it as much as I enjoyed creating it makes all the hard work worth it. If you haven't taken the class yet, and would like to check it out, head on over to my profile and click on the link. You will find a link directly to the class (and ONE MONTH of free membership, if you're not already a member) under the "Explore Latest Instagram," post. Thank you to everyone following me on this new journey! It is so wonderful to have you along with me.
Working on the final projects for my next Skillshare class all about creating your own texture marquee light illustrations for greeting cards, wrapping paper and even animated illos for social media. New brushes, including a handy marquee light brush and texture brushes, are going to be very included as well. Stay tuned!
Happy Caturday from my “co-workers” who are asleep on the job while I put finishing touches on my next class. Though honestly, that’s for the best… their Procreate skills are rudimentary at best. 😉😽
I decided to plant some dahlia bulbs this year (one of my many “favorite flowers”) and I am sooooo thrilled they are starting to bloom this week. The idea of having the flowers I love to photograph most right there, outside my door, is a most wonderful thing and I’m already planning next year’s additions ;)
My last several trips to our local grocery store, there have been a group of Kildeer hanging out in the little empty lot next door. The first time I saw them I was surprised because they are technically in the family of shorebirds and we are not exactly adjacent to Lake Michigan here in the South Suburbs of Chicago. But… little known fact… they are very unusual shorebirds in that they very often nest and live far from a shoreline and take advantage of whatever habitat they are provided. If you ever have the chance to stop and watch them, do take the time, because they are truly wonderful to watch. (Though, heads up, if babies are nearby, they will feign injury to distract a predator from their nest) Today, I get to send my little guy here off to a new home on the beautiful state of North Carolina where, hopefully, he will forever get to hang by the water. Created in Affinity Designer for iPad using my own brushes and textures.
To know me is to know it is an understatement that I love reading. I LLLLOOOVVVE reading… I could do it all day long if given the opportunity. So I thought this would be a illustration to share on this… National Book Lovers Day. Not sure where the frog comes in but I would bet there is a National Frog Lovers Day so just remember this when you see it pop up on your calendar. 🐸
When you’re a bird illustrator, and photographer, with a very patient husband who listens to your slightly whacky plans… then helps you implement them. Ummm… yeah… we totally created this for the cats. #birdtv
A PSA from Jack, Sadie and LuLu (swipe left)… International Cat Day is every day. 😽
