In this class, we will create a Faux Quilted Cabin Scene in Procreate. I’m talking about a no-sew quilt, where fabric is tucked inside of styrofoam to give a piece of art the look of a quilted piece without the sewing. We will recreate this with some patterns, clipping masks, brushes, as well as some effects like wrinkles and texture.

This is beginner friendly.

For the first part of this class, we are going to focus on a more traditional style quilt by using shapes, like rectangles and triangles. Using these kind of shapes in real life, not only makes fabric easier to sew but also to tuck inside of styrofoam, so I wanted to incorporate the same thinking when creating this class.

We will then look for some inspiration before we start adding color and redefining our sketch.

We will add faux-quilted cutouts to our design.

We will add prints, shadows, highlights and textures to our faux-quilted cutouts.

We will go back just a few steps so we can add some top stitches to give our cabin scene a more traditional quilted look. This is such a great additional way to repurpose your artwork and give it a whole new look.

For the last part of this class, we will create a Winter Cabin Scene using more shapely pieces. I wanted to include this mix-matched faux quilt style, because not every faux quilt in life is entirely based on easy-to-create shapes.

This process is very similar to the first part of this class but it will definitely need more highlights and shadows to give it more wrinkles.

Faux quilts like this Winter Cabin Scene in real life doesn’t necessarily cooperate and lay flat when tucked inside styrofoam.

I’ve created a set of Procreate Pattern Brushes that you could use along with your favorite digital pattern prints and/or Procreate brushes. I’ll also include some Linen texture to even further your art into looking more like fabric.

This class is definitely for you if:

You love using and creating in Procreate
You love the look of quilts and would absolutely want to repurpose your other pieces of art using these methods
You’re curious about how highlights and shadows can create wrinkles in Procreate

For this class, I’ll be using the following:

iPad
Procreate app
Apple Pencil

I’ll show you some real life examples of Faux Quilted pieces I created using these same designs that I created for this class.

To show you exactly what wrinkles and shadows of the faux seams would look like so it gives you true inspiration for your artwork.
To show how normal shapes and mix-matched, more curvy, shapes give your artwork different looks.
To prove to you that not only can you repurpose your artwork into faux quilted masterpieces in Procreate but also step outside your Procreate comfort zone.

In the lesson, Finding Inspiration, I mention some Pinterest boards for you to look at should you choose. I’ve listed them.
