Learn to Draw and Create Procreate Brush Stamps

1. Learn to Draw and Create Procreate Brush Stamps- Beginners: Have you ever watched an art video where creatives use brush downs instead of drawing or creating from scratch? Critical, hey. You can do that, too. You heard it right, even if you've never drawn before, or even if you've never used Procreate before. If we've never met before, my name is Desiree, and I am a digital illustrator. I am the artist behind artfully Des. I am in my 30s, and I learned how to draw on my iPad in 2024. So if I can do you can do it too. I also have friends who are in their 50s and 60s who are happily creating using their iPads. I guess age or not being creative will be the reason for you not to start drawing today. We'll take it one step at a time, so you can learn with confidence without feeling pressured. Don't just take my word for it. Elizabeth, for example, she said that she learned so much because the lessons were slow enough for her to keep up. I designed it as if I'm talking to a 5-year-old kid. I explain every step, and more importantly, you're not just following instructions. You'll understand the purpose of every step that you're doing. Along the way, I will also share the common mistakes to avoid and the settings that make quality artwork. And by the end of this class, you'll know how to draw and Procreate. Create high quality brush stamps, add color highlights, shading and transform simple illustrations into beautiful artwork that you will be proud of. Whether you are creating for your personal use or building a collection that you can share with other creatives, you'll have the skill to keep creating long after this class is over. And if that sounds something that you will enjoy, I'd love to have you join the class. Remember, you're not learning alone. You will have access to our community where you can post, you can ask, and you can just share your artwork. So you can continue to learn whenever you need a little extra help. That being said, I hope to see you there. 2. Canvas and Brush Settings- Step 1: Alright, let's go dive in. So the first thing we want to do is to set up our canvas. And canvas is very important because you cannot just draw your elements into a very small canvas like 500 buy 500 pixels. No, you don't. You have to. Not you have to, but you at least need to draw it in a 12 inch square canvas because most artists, especially the ones who will need the brush stamps that you are going to sell or create, usually use 12 inch canvas. So that's what we are going to do. Because if you draw it in a very small canvas. Later on, if they use your stamp or line art, it's going to get really pixelated, and we don't want that to happen because you'll have unhappy customers, okay? So the first thing we want to do is to set up our canvas, tap this here. And then I already have my 12 inch square CMYK here. But I will show you how to do it plus and then dimensions. You can set it to pixels or inches. If it's pixels, it's going to be 3,600 by 3,600. That's equivalent to 12 inch, okay? And then you will go to color profile and set it to CMYK. And the reason why we want to set it to CMYK is that if they want to print out, well, it's not like it's going to matter, because it's color black anyway, but I want to train myself in using CMYK because most of my art, the purpose of them is to be printed. It's not just on the screen or online, so it's going to be printed, and the quality of CMYK is better than RGB. And then we are going to name this 12 inch. See MK. Okay. You can name it anything you want. We have our screen. Oops. Okay. So now what we are going to do next is to set up our grid line, wrench icon and then go to drawing guide and Edit Drawing Guide. Make sure you're on the grid and then tap this one and then make sure you're on pixels and set it to 1,000. You'll see the length here. It says 1,000 and done, and you have the option to change the color of your grid, but black is fine for me and you have the option to change the opacity. But as long as I can see it around 30% is fine. And then tap Okay. Now we have our guide. So the size of our element will be inside this square line, this square grid. This is where we want to draw the element, not bigger, not smaller. I mean, you have the option to do it and test it out. But what I'm teaching you right now is what I've already tested, and so far, I've never received any complaint. And I've been using them this current size for my clipart, and I think they're the best size so far. So this is where we want to draw, okay? So we have our guide. The next thing we want to do is to get our brush. So the brush that we are using is you can go to calligraphy. If you cannot find the calligraphy, maybe you're not in classic library. We do have different libraries in Procreate. You have the Procreate library. If you can find calligraphy, go back to tap this one, back to libraries and select classic library. And the reason why we are using Mnline is that this is the easiest brush that you can use to create your line art. I am also using Tinder box right now. Now, if you can see the monoline brush is like kind of not Perfect. It's shaky, right? In order for you to achieve that kind of not shaky line, go to stabilization, set your amount to around 70% is fine. And then for your motion filtering, if you put your motion filtering too high, it will filter your motion. Basically, that's what it means. So if you want to make a curve, something like that, it'll make your lines very straight and firm without shakes. That's the motion filtering, but I'll let you play around, so I'll set mine to 40% for now. Okay? All right. I think we're ready. Let's test. That should be good. 40 is perfect for me. Let's go back, monoline, and then stabilization, 70%, motion filtering, 40%. 3. Drawing The Element- Step 2: So we have our canvas. We have our brush. We are ready to draw. But no, we don't know how to draw, right? So this program helps you to start creating line art or brush stamps without the knowledge of drawing. So what I am going to suggest right now for you to do this is where I started, okay? We are going to trace photos, but we are not I'm not suggesting you to go trace photos from Google. If you want to practice, that is totally fine. But if you plan to sell these line arts and brush stamps later on, I will have to suggest you to take your own photos and trace the photos that you took. So I do have a photo that I took right now, so I'm going to import it, tap the wrench icon, add, and then insert a photo fine here. This is a photo I took. It's very simple. And what I want to trace right now is this flower. And we are going to start with a very basic element because that's how you should start. You just don't want to go start tracing something that is very complicated, and you're just going to lose motivation because it's too complicated for you, right? So we're going to start with a very basic flower. So what I'm going to do we do have a guide. I said, we wanted to draw our element inside this square, right? So I'm going to have to adjust it or scale it to fit the square, just like that. Now, if you can see it, you can try to lower down a little bit so you can see if it's perfectly fit. Now, if you want to remove the rest of the excess photo here, you can do this. Go to the selection tool or the Lasso tool, go to rectangle and then start going around your element without cutting it. So just like that. And now you have and now we're going to do a shortcut, three fingers, swipe down, and then cut and paste. Okay. We just cut the flower where the square is. So we can delete this one. We do have our flowers, so we can avoid too much distraction, right? Alright, now we are ready to trace. Now what we are going to do is to set our blend mode to multiply. This is called blend mode, all these things here. Let's set it to multiply and then lower the opacity to 39%. And the reason why we did that is that we want our outline to go under. It's easier that way. And even though the outline is underneath it, we will still be able to see the line because the multiply blend mode makes it darker based on what the color is underneath. So you will still be able to see where your line is going, if that makes sense. Okay, so I'm ready to start tracing, okay? So I'm going to put it a little more visible. You can put it to where you can still see it, but not too distracting. And you want to make your lines too big. Okay. I'm going to show you this trick. I probably want my lines to be around 30%. Yeah, 30% is fine. And if you want to delete that, you can undo by tapping two fingers to tap on the screen. So if you want to set your lines to 30% without guessing later on, what's the size of the brush that I use, go to 30%. Again, tap the plus button. There you go. So it will clip or no, not clip, but magnet it or snap on 30, 36. So you can have a consistent line art. You will not be guessing, like, Okay, what's the size of the brush that I used here again? You know that it's 30% because it's there. You added it to your bookmark. I don't know if that's bookmark, but anyway, I hope you got what I mean. So 30%, I can go ahead and start tracing. I always love my line kind of a little shaky, wobbly imperfect. You can follow along. There you go. And you're probably wondering, like, later on, if you choose to take a photo of something else that has more details than this flower that I'm showing you right now, you're probably wondering, like, where do I stop? Do I need to add more details? So the trick is, if you look at the photo, if you look at your line art, you know that this is a flower, okay? Without even me adding the center, I don't know what to call it, without me adding that without me adding all the leaves, without me adding all the details like that. You know that this is flour. As long as you can see that it's flour, and as long as you can see the element that you are going for, you should stop. You don't need to add more elements, okay? Another example is that you know that what I'm drawing right now. Okay? You know what this is, right? You probably know. You probably know. There's no way you can tell what it is. You know what this is? This is a bicycle. As long as you can identify this is a bicycle. You need to stop right there. You don't need to go add the tiny details here. Okay? The tire has something on here. So people can tell that it's a bicycle. No, you don't need to do that. If you have the base outline and people can see or can tell that it's a bicycle or it's the element that you're going for, you have to stop. You don't need to add more because you're going to get frustrated and you're going to get stuck and you're not going to finish anything. And you're going to come at me and say, It's very complicated. So let's not do that, I hope you're getting what I mean, by the way, that's this shortcut to clear is to three fingers swipe left and right to clear it. Okay. So going back, sorry for the interruption. Now, if you want to add the circle in the middle, that's totally okay as well. There you go. That's the shortcut for if you want to make your circle or any line straight, is to hold down your pen. Again, let me do it for you. If you want it to be perfect circle, Hold down, perfect square perfect circle if you put down one finger on the screen, or else it's going to be not. It's still okay. The line is okay, not shaky, but it's not perfect circle. If you don't put your finger on the screen, or if you don't select this one. So you have ellipse, you have circle. Okay. We have the circle in the middle. I think that's it. You can go ahead and add a little bit of this that. Excuse me. Oh my gosh, I just bur You can be as shaky as you want. Alright, we can remove our reference photo. We have a flower. That's very easy, right? So as you can see, we do have here overlaps. So what I can do is I want to use the same brush. That I'm using right now, recent mon line. You need to make sure that you use the same brush that you used to draw because then for you to achieve that smooth line still Woops. I can make it smaller and delete the overlap. Okay? I want to show you why you need to use the same brush. For example, I'm going to use tinder box. This is a totally different brush. And if I go over it, see the difference of the pixel? I bet you can't I can see it. I can see I can totally see the difference. But if I use the same brush, they have the same pixels, you won't be able to tell that I erase this one. So you always have to use the same brush. See the difference? Yeah. Okay, we have a flower. Okay, that's the first step. First step is drawing the flower. Where was it? Just like that? Drawing your element. Okay, you're done. You got one. You want to go sell this? No, you don't, you don't yet. You need to test it. And 4. Testing The Brush Step 3: Ing your outline is very important because later, you can fix all the imperfections or your mistakes by testing it yourself. Okay? I can see something here. Don't leave the tiny details unfixed because you will lose the trust of your customers if you keep leaving tiny mistakes that you caught, okay? So what do I mean by testing my line? So what you want to do right now is to set this as your reference reference, and then add a layer, put it underneath, and then grab any color for now, any color. It's perfect. And then I always want to separate different kind of colors on their own separate layers. So I want to set a different color for my center. Perfect. And when I say perfect, it means that all of your lines are locked or connected. What happens? Okay, we have that. Let's delete it. What happens if for example, you forgot that there was a very tiny gap over here, very tiny. This part of your line didn't meet, okay? And now you sold it. And now the customer or the artist you sold it to got no idea on how to create outlines or what is wrong. They don't know how to troubleshoot, okay? So, okay, I'm excited to use it. I have my reference on what is happening. It's filling the entire canvas instead of just inside the outline. It's because you have, like, gaps on your outline. Don't just assume that everything is connected because I myself, I have this mistake all the time. Like, I've been creating brushes for a while now, but there are still times that I accidentally leave something like a tiny gap on my lines, and I can only find out about it if I test it out. So it's very important for you to test your lines before selling them before I forget. You want to make sure that all your lines are black because if it's not, black black, then the color later on is not solid. This is my black outline, right? And then I'm just going to go randomly grab a brush here, import, paste. But don't memorize what I'm doing because I'm just going to show you the example. I'm going to teach you how to do it later. Okay? So I have my black. I want to name it black. Oops. And I will also make it grayish, not black black. So my line will be here kind of grayish, okay? I want to change the color. That's the shortcut to Alpha lock. By the way, is if you swipe two fingers to the right, it will alpha lock it and then fill layer. Now my line is gray. I want to copy this one. Don't mind what I'm doing. Did you see the difference? You'll be able to see the difference I'm going to show you. Alright, let's turn that off. I want to use I want to create a flower stamp. That's the gray one, and this is a black color. You see the difference of the color? You guys see the difference. They won't be able to This is, like, kind of more transparent than this one. This is more solid. This is transparent. So you want to make sure that all your lines are black before you start selling them. What I do when I'm done drawing all my elements, for example, is that I just alpha lock all of them and make sure that I'm choosing the black color because there are times I don't know, Procreate does this all the time. I thought I was always drawing on black black. But as soon as I turn off my background, I can see the different shades of black on the screen. There's some of them are a little gray, not solid black, so you will have to check that later. Okay. All right, so the last step of testing for me is making sure that the element is centered. Because if your element is centered, then what will happen? If you convert this into brush tamp later, I'm going to show you what will happen. You need to make sure that it's center. You have your guide. You have your dots here. You just want to make sure that they are aligned on these lines here or the grid. So make sure it's center. You will have to do it one by one on each of your. For example, you created ten elements or you drew ten elements. You will have to do it on ten of them, make sure they are centered. Okay? And don't worry because you will have a copy of the checklist to make sure that you tested everything, what is on the list before you start selling your stuff. 5. Saving as Line Art and Brush Stamp- Step 4: So again, next step for us is to save our element. Like, for example, we created ten elements and we are ready to save them. Alright, now, we are ready to import. Now, all you have to do is turn off your background, but I want to show you something. For example, we have ten elements. Let's say this is a collection of ten. All you have to do is to make sure they are all tied these boxes are ticked, okay? And then turn off that background and tap your wrench icon and then share and then share layers PNG files. You don't have If you do this, it will import all the selected items into PNG. You don't have to do or save them one by one. It's going to save you so much time. So PNG files, exporting, and then go save to your files, and then you will have to create on your iPad or yeah, I love Well, it depends on if you're using ICloud, but I love to save them on my iPad. I don't trust saving them on iCloud. So on my iPad, this is totally up to you, okay? Create your folder, and then you can name it however you want, for example, flowers. Okay. So I do have separate folders for line art and fresh damp. Flowers line art. That's it. Save. And then save. Okay. Now you've saved all your elements. Now what you want to do next is let's go ahead and name them, rename. Reasons. You can see them from the reasons. Or what I love to do is flowers line art. I love to just favorite my very important ones, so I can see them here. I can easily access them, access them if they are on my favorite. So flowers line art. If I want to name them, if my collection is flower, I just do flower, and then flower one. Flower two, something like that. Until flower ten, 11, 12, Flower two. Okay, yeah. For example, you have ten collections. Name them flower 12345 up to ten. Alright, we're done with that. As promised, I'm going to show you how to turn your line arts into brush stamps. Okay? Let's just remove them. So what you want to do, same thing. You need to turn off your background, and all you have to do is swipe three fingers down and then copy. That's it. And go to create your new collection, B sign, and then create new set. And we are going to name this flower. I think I already have this. I'm just going to name it flower too, because I already have brush collection here that's named flower. So you can name it however you want. Flower is fine. Apply. Now, we are going to create new brush, right? We have our new brush. Now you have to go to shape, edit, import, paste as simple as that. Now, you can see the white. You have to tap two fingers to invert the color. There you go. And then the problem is it's not showing up, right? So all you have to do is go to stroke path and then increase the spacing until you see the shape of the flower. I do see it right now, and I hope you guys can see it. Alright, spacing. Probably up to 70%. It actually depends on what kind of element you drew. And now what we want to do next is to go to properties properties set maximum size. Just set it to max. That's fine. Minimum size is 53%. This is how big the 1% would be. Okay? If you set it to 1%, whoops. You can see it. I can see it, but it's very tiny. So if you increase it more, like, we don't actually need it that small, that should be fine. But why is my stamp right now? Like, the color is not consistent. Some of them are darker, some of them are more transparent because we're not done yet. Okay, let's go back to the brush. So we have set I usually set it to just 50% for my brush behavior, maximum size and 50%. Now, if you have an Apple pencil, you can go to Apple Pencil. And then this opacity right here, you turn it down just like that to make sure that all your stamps are consistent. There you go. Let's go test it. If it's already consistent. Now, I want to use a different color. It's great. Can I turn it up? How big can it go? That's how big it is. However, the size that we drew it on, it's going to be that big, and then how small it would be. You can change this by going over again to your properties. And if you want to increase the minimum size, it gets bigger. Okay? That's the minimum size. Okay, so I think we're good. Honestly, this should work. You don't need to do anything else, but you need to go back. Now, later on if you encounter something like something's off, you will have to go back to the previous steps, go back to stroke path. Spacing is 67%. We don't really need stabilization right now because it's not like stroke brush, just like what we use with monoline. This is a stamp. You can just stamp, stamp, stamp it, okay? And troubleshooting. Okay. Now you mess it up, and then Now, remember when I told you earlier that you want to make sure that your element is at the center. It's because you want to make sure that the tip of your brush is where the center is, where it actually goes. Because if you don't do that, let's just for example, I'm going to show you. So let's say for example, your element is not centered just like that. What will happen? Let's duplicate this one. And then Paste? It's not at the center. You can already tell what's going to happen here. Isn't that annoying that you want to put your brush here. You want to put your exactly here, your element here, but it goes it's not at the center. Okay? I just wanted to make sure that the center is at the center of this grid, but it's not going there because your element is not centered, and it's going to be really annoying. So again, you want to make sure that it's centered perfectly. So next thing, you can rename this, tap and hold it, and then name it flower one. Flower one. That should be good. Then if you have ten flowers, you can go ahead and name it one, two, three, four, five, ten. And as you can see, the stamp is not scattered. This is just a preview of the stamp. Now, you want to go tap it and then go to preview. And then this is where you can fix it. Use stamp preview, just like that, turn it on. And then if you want to lower down the side so they can kind of see before they tap it, so they can identify, if it's a rose, if it's a daisy, something like that, that should be good. You can play around. And then the one of the most important things that you should not forget is go to About the brush. Put your name on here because you don't want somebody to resell or steal your work. Put your name here and you can add your photo here. Photos, I have my stuff saved here. I want to watermark. What happens if you do that? If you do that, you can no longer change it. So if you sold this brush damp later, they cannot resell it and steal it from you because you have your watermark. There is no way they can reset it or something. Even if create new reset point, this is not going to get deleted. So watermark your brush before you start selling them. I just want to add that if you create your brushes, you don't have to do it from scratch, like going over the brush or the plus icon here. You just need to duplicate this one and then paste your new shape or new element on here. So you don't have to redo all the settings and especially this one. You don't have to redo everything, make sure that you modified all the settings on your very first one so it can be carried over to your duplicated brush. Okay, now, we have our ten brushes, for example, what we want to do now Even here, I want to name it so they can easily identify flowers too. I just add my initials, AD artfully does apply. Now we have our ten brush stamps. I also want to test it just one, just to make sure. Let's test it. It's the same process, just like what we did with the line art again, reference, then pink. Perfect. Perfect. Okay. We are good to go. Okay? We are good to go. Now we have our ten stamps, right. What we want to do next now is to import it, tap that, share, and then save to files. And then, again, we will create our very own folder for brush stamps. Just name it brush stamps, brush stamps here. So I want to name it too. Okay. And then save it here. There you go. You have your collection of on my iPad, brush tamps, this one. Now, if you want to sell it on at C, you can remove all the Let me show my keyboard here. If you want to sell it on At C, by the way, EtS does not allow any spacing, so you will have to remove all the space before you list it there. There. Flowers to a deep brush. That's it. Now what happens if you sell it? If they tap this, it will be imported to Procreate right away. This is it. And all the brushes will be here. Okay, as easy as that. Now, congratulations. You just created your first line art collection, and it's not that you made the whole collection, but you already know how to create brush stamps, and you already know how to troubleshoot. Okay. The next thing for us is to understand how are we going to sell our brush stamps or line art or market it? If you sell on EtS, you don't have to do any marketing. Well, if you want to add more or drive more traffic to your EtS, then fine. You can go ahead and do that. But if you want to sell on Facebook groups or if you want to sell on Facebook or if you just overall market your work, you will need to know how to do that, and that's going to be on our next lesson, which is marketing. But again, congratulations. Go ahead and take a photo or photos of anything around you. You know what? I'm going to show you something. I saved this one because I do have a lot of these. When I draw, I would draw using these flowers and magazines as my reference. So I don't have to go take photos anymore. We're not stealing from Canadian tire. We are going to use them as a reference to see what the shape of the ketchup bottle is, right? Or if you want, you can just go ahead and take photos and then turn them into brush stamps. Again, congratulations. If you're ready to proceed on learning your marketing, you can go ahead and do so. But if you want to enjoy learning this, just keep repeating the process, and if you have questions, feel free to reach out. I want to make sure that you guys are all supported and then ask questions. Yeah, C. 6. Coloring, highlighting, shading- Step 5: Alright, so in this video, I just want to color one of them. Let's color the Pistao. Although I already showed you in one of my videos on how I do it, I still want to do this one. Okay. So this is going to be a reference, and then we add a layer underneath. We can group them. Yeah, a layer underneath and then pick a color grayish because it's grayish, right? Just drop like that. Perfect. And for our pistachio, so far, my lines are thick, so I don't need to separate them. The only reason why I love to separate my colors is that sometimes it's so hard to control, not to go over the line or outline. So I think it's thick enough for me to just put them in one thing, one layer. I think that's the color of pistachio, and for the I want to kind of brownish, actually. You can use this classic view to play around with your colors. And also, I don't have a tip for you when it comes to color because I myself is struggling with colors, but I just use this one and then drop it. And I think, I just trust my instinct. Like if I don't like what I see, like, the combination of color because there are color combinations that are really terrible. Don't even do it. Don't even bother, like, pushing it because you're going to waste your time. So yeah, I think this combination is perfect. Right, I missed one here, so I'm just going to pick the color and then drop it here, and I'm good with that. Now I can add my highlight. I want to start with this first with my highlight. Actually, I want to use when I'm coloring, I want to use the script. Whoops. See, that's what I'm talking about. So hard to control to go over. Perfect. This one, too. You guys are free to choose where your light source is. But for me, my light source is always on my left. That's what I am used to. So if you're wondering, where would I put the highlight I mean, the shading. Just go where you think the light cannot reach. Like, for example, this is my light, right. So definitely this part should have a shadow of this not here. And this one should be dark because the light cannot reach this part. Again, you can be playful. Don't be too hard on yourself. It'll always turn good as long as you look as long as you choose the right color. You can even turn a simple circle into very cute artwork. So here I just want to add, like, if you think it's too light, I don't want to mess I don't want to mess with it. I want it 50% because I think this is perfect, but I can try to increase it and see what happens. Okay. Okay. If you think it's still too light, but this one should look perfect. It's already perfect, I can go a little darker in here, just like that. And then I can go I think I want to color the bottom part yellow. I just want to make it more fun. So if you do that and you are confident that all your lines are closed, you need to turn off your reference. Okay, now I changed my mind, I want to turn. You need to turn on your reference. Add a layer on top. And I've been obsessed with the yellow guys. We have a gap here, so basically I cannot do the reference. But what I can do here is grab the Lasso tool, go over here, up to here, just like that. And then it doesn't matter if I go all the way here because I'm reference basically. There you go. We have a yellow. Or should I change it green? You know what I'm going to try green. Alpha lock. Fill layer. That's easier. Oh, I like that. Okay. I'll go for green for now. All right. I think I'm good and I can merge them. What I want to do next is to add the highlight. Okay. Highlight is bright yellow for me, bright bright yellow. There you go. So I usually would add the highlight here because this is where my light source is, right? Like, it should be a little lighter here or shiny or I don't know how to call What to call it? I just love the touch of yellow on my artwork. How cute is that? I honestly think that without the highlights, my Excuse me, my artwork would be so boring. Okay, perfect. I think I want to add highlight here a little bit of highlight and a little bit of highlight here. There you go. Now I want to add my light reflection one layer on top. And then 50% around 50%. Again, we are on white, right? So your light reflection depends on how you want it. I usually do this. Do that then do this, or I can go really wild Oops. Turn off the reference. Go back here. I like that. And if you think it's too light, you can make it darker, or you can make it more visible. Uh, just a little here, a little here. Try not to overdo it, but I think I'm overdoing it right now. But I think that's cute, right? We have a pistacho Bag of pistacho. That is perfect for me. Now, again, you can go ahead and film yourself doing that. I also have the filming tip for you, so you're not left, left hanging out, like what to do. And you can even sell the clipart that you're making as an additional collection to your website or your Et C shop. You can even sell this, bundle them together, and then price them however you want, like the sweet price, right? So, yeah, that's how I do it. I hope you had fun. I would love to see your work in our group, please. And if you want to post them on your socials, please tag me. I'd love to see them. And yeah, that will also help me build trust, and it will be a big help. Again, thank you so much, and I'm excited for you. 7. Final Thoughts: Congratulations on making it to the end of the class, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoy creating this class for you. I can't wait to see your beautiful artwork, and as you continue practicing, always remember that every great artist has to start somewhere, and where you are right now is where you should start. And don't forget we don't compare ourselves to somebody who's been doing this for years now, okay? Don't put too much pressure on yourself by allowing yourself to explore and commit mistakes, that's where the best ideas usually come from. Now, here's a little challenge for you. Go ahead and walk around, walk around your house, walk around your neighborhood, but you got to be careful with cars, okay? Take a photo of something that catches your eye. You can even go to the mall or go on a trail. Wherever you want to go, but be aware of your surroundings, please. Again, take a photo of something that catches your eye and challenge yourself to turn it into an artwork that you truly love, a finished artwork, whether it be brush down or a colored clipart. What I'd love you to do is to enjoy the process and learn from it. And if you share your artwork, don't forget to tag me because I am so excited to see what you create. It's like what I always say, happy creating.
