  • Color Stress Away! A Mandala Coloring Book.

    Hello friends,

    Has your life been as crazy lately as mine?! I’ve been pulled so many directions that I feel like a pretzel twist. Things are starting to settle down now, thankfully.

    Do you like to color? I have found that it’s a great stress reliever, I especially love to color digitally on my iPad with the Procreate app. Creating and learning more about digital art has literally helped me stay sane during the last few months.

    While I was learning new ways to create digital art I learned more about Procreate’s drawing assist features. It makes creating mandalas and other images so much easier. By turning on drawing assist and editing the drawing guide you can use ->Radial ->Rotational symmetry and ->Assisted Drawing to draw in one section while it automatically fills in the other sections! OMG, game changer for this gal who can’t draw a straight line.

    While I played around I created a Mandala Coloring Book called Color Stress Away. It’s available in my Etsy shop HERE.

    Here’s a little peek at it. There are 15 coloring pages drawn by me in the Procreate app. I love to color these in Procreate but you can use any coloring app or print the pages to color.

    The book comes in either PDF or PNG format, you can download either or both. It’s priced at $3.50 and the downloads will be available as soon as payment is confirmed. These are personal use only.

    Can you think of any kind of printables, planner themes or such you’d like to see? I’m always open to suggestions!

    Have a lovely day and stay safe.

  • A Free Procreate Brush for You!

    If you’ve followed me a while you probably already know I love graphic design and technology. I got my first iPad this past Summer and one of the first things I did was look for graphic design apps, coloring apps, drawing, etc. There was this little(not so little) app called Procreate. I read about it and thought I really needed it. At $9.99 it wasn’t a huge investment so why not?!

    Well, that ‘little’ app is a very powerful bunch of tools for artists, creative letterers’, graphic designers, etc. I downloaded it and started playing. Next thing I knew I was buying extra brushes, swatches, and piddling around. Everyday I find something I didn’t know about before. So today, I found a class at Skillshare on how to create your own brushes in Procreate. The class is less than an hour long but I already created my first brush! And I’m offering it free to my readers. If you’d like to learn things such as this head over to Skillshare using my link and you can take classes for 2 months FREE. No strings attached. If you don’t want to keep it after 2 months simply cancel.

    As promised here is my first attempt at creating a brush. This one I named Quirky Dots. It changes colors with different pressures and pen angles. I think it’s pretty cool. Click ‘download’ below the image to grab it!

    I hope you enjoy, I will definitely be making more as I learn.

    Stay in, stay healthy, stay creative!
