Welcome to Border Illustration Design in Procreate! Today you will learn a fun drawing technique with endless possibilities. This is a way to illustrate using symmetry guides and a simple floral art style. Not only do these symmetry techniques allow you to draw a piece of art in half the time, but they yield striking results!
In today’s lesson, we will create a floral border design featuring Nordic-inspired tulips and leaves. To make a finished art print, we’ll be adding a simple monogram design in the center, right in Procreate, but you could use this border artwork to frame an invitation, a quote, and so much more.
