Hey friends! I’m so glad you’re here — let’s draw some adorable bows together! 🎀
I’m <a href="https://www.carriecantwell.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Carrie Cantwell</a>, an <a href="https://www.carriecantwell.com/illustrations" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">illustrator</a> and <a href="https://www.carriecantwell.com/patterns" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">surface designer</a>. You might’ve seen some of <a href="https://www.carriecantwell.com/collaborations" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">my work in stores like Pottery Barn, Michaels, or Urban Outfitters</a> — and believe it or not, it all started with drawings just like the ones we’re about to make today.
In fact, <a href="https://www.target.com/p/deny-designs-carrie-cantwell-vintage-pink-bows-white-framed-art-print/-/A-92879981" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">one of my bow illustrations</a> landed me right in <a href="https://www.target.com/p/deny-designs-carrie-cantwell-vintage-pink-bows-white-framed-art-print/-/A-92879981" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Target!</a> That’s the magic of creating cute, on-trend motifs — they don’t just make your art more fun, they make it marketable. 🎨
This class ties directly into my other Skillshare class, <a href="https://skl.sh/3E3wPc5" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">5 Essential Elements of a Pitch-Perfect Portfolio for Art Licensing</a>. If you’ve taken that one, this is your next step — we’re going to make artwork that’s irresistibly cute and ready for licensing opportunities.
In this class, I’ll show you how to add bows to everything! We’ll draw bows on animals, on portraits, and even on a simple box — instantly turning it into a sweet gift. You’ll also learn how to create standalone bows that are trendy, licensable art motifs. In this class, I'll also explain how to draw a bow, and bow anatomy.
✏️📱All you need for this class is an iPad, an Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app. This class is excellent for beginners, as long as you have a very basic familiarity with the Procreate interface, you’ll be able to follow along. 
So grab your iPad, open up Procreate, and let’s put a bow on it! 🎀
