I have always admired beautiful monograms. I have recently seen gorgeous ones sporting watercolor flowers and vines, and that was my incentive to create one for myself. It turned out to use many of the daily Procreate functions that I have been teaching you, including the use of clipping masks and the like. Once I realized that, I had a light-bulb moment, and thought it would be a great topic for a quick class. Even though you may know all about the use of clipping masks, repetition will give you even more ideas. There is always a little twist! And, the end product is gorgeous!

Another thing I incorporated was the use of the liquify tool to create a sumptuous marble background on which our glitter and gold monogram will sit. It complements the design so well you will be impressed. We will do a two-step process for the purpose of adding the brushed gold to the marble. And if that isn’t enough bling, I have included 3 of my Glitter and Gold brushes. With those, you can add that extra little something. And then you will have all of these brushes to use again and again.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

• my step-by-step method for making marble in Procreate

• tips for creating floral compositions for a varied and appealing layout

• my workflow for use of layers and clipping masks and other great features like snapping

• tips for helping the watercolour flowers really stand out

• methods for creating vining leaves

If you’re an aspiring graphic designer with a good basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps. This class will benefit anyone who wishes to create assets for sale too.

The key concepts I will include:

• review of my brush alterations and adjustments

• a look at Procreate brushes and their various idiosyncrasies

• approaches you can take in your creative work

This is an ideal class for you, even if you are not sure what you will use the pattern for, whether it be for fabric design for sites like Spoonflower, scrapbooking paper, custom web graphics, or whatever! Learning new Procreate workflows is always desirable. I guarantee you will create something really appealing, and it’s so much fun, once you get the hang of it!

Note: Have you had a chance to take my other Procreate classes, including Fantasy Gardens with Procreate and Simple Brushes in Procreate for Quick Compositions? If you have, you’ve learned plenty about custom Procreate brushes, but I still have more info for you! I have a series of pattern design classes too. Check it out!
