Swedish-Inspired Quilt Square in Procreate

1. Welcome Friend!: Hi friends. I would really love to invite you into my past. Growing up, I was surrounded by Swedish folklore and the magic and enchantment that filled my home. My mother made it a beautiful place to explore the woods and just enjoy the magic of Scandinavian folklore, Swedish folklore. I'd like to share that with you growing up, we had books from Carl Larson and his beautiful artwork surrounding our home, and the colors just bring a sense of nostalgia for me. I created this class to help you guys, the beginners to learn, procreate in a fun and magical way. Swedish folk art is filled with this beautiful symmetry. And these patterns, and some are very simple and some are very intricate. It's hard to know where to begin when you're trying out new techniques in procreate and trying to figure out what you want to draw Next, let's do a little research. Let me show you first the book that started it all for me. This is Carl Larson's beautiful watercolor books. Growing up in my home. We have this book and it's well loved. Some of the pages are starting to fall out, but I still love rusing it. My mother's sewing tin had this picture on the front. Any time I hopped into her sewing tin that was there, again, this is the picture that I used to pull color for this class. This is one of my favorites. And you see some of the symmetry designs right here. I always thought that it was more magical in Christmas, but in fact, it is their daughter, Emma's birthday, and this is how they celebrated. Can you imagine the magic of your family showing up in your room? So beautiful. I love that his water colors include some of the symmetry designs as well. That's what we're going to be going over today. We're going to be making symmetry patterns that look like quilt squares in procreate. We're going to gather some inspiration off of Pinterest and I've given you guys a download to look over and has a procreate kit. And with colors, and stamps, and everything that you need to create the beautiful designs. Just so you guys are aware, this watercolor brush is from my per handmade watercolor brush set, which you can purchase on my website. But right now we're just using the one that I'm sharing with all of you for this class. We're going to sketch out our quilt squares using the procreate stamps. And it'll make it really simple to put them in there and add a few designs to create these beautiful pieces of artwork. I'm Katie from Per Chan Made. I'm here to help you along on this journey and walk you through the steps in this begunner's class. Follow along in the next lesson and we are going to get started. 2. Resources & Downloads: For now, we're going to work on just downloading your resources and make sure you have them all set up in your procreate app. The procreate kit was created using the Carl Larson painting. I pulled a couple of different colors throughout the painting, that's why you have the top set of red, green, yellow, blue, and so on. And then a little bit of a brighter set pulled off of the birthday painting. In addition to the Swedish folk color palette, you'll also get the perch handmade folk art stencil brush set. That's a mouthful. This includes one sketch pencil, three detail brushes including a watercolor brush, a stitching brush, and a fabric texture brush, and 16 outline stamps for creating your sketch. You'll also have the link in the PDF to my Scandinavian Symmetry Pinterest board for gathering inspiration. We are going to go over how to use that and split our page to work and procreate and see Pinterest all at the same time. You can pull your inspiration by looking at Pinterest while you're drawing your sketch out in procreate, grab your downloads. It will bring you into a Notion page that looks like this. Where you'll be able to scroll down and click on the links. At the bottom of the page, there will be your files and the Pinterest board. Pop those into your procreate app. And let's get ready for the next lesson. 3. Research & Inspiration: Did you grab all your downloads? I hope you did. In this next part, we're going to just look over the Scandinavian Symmetry Ptra board that I created for you guys. Let's have a look. I love all the colors that we have going on here. Different. These are pictures actually from Carl Larson's family home where you have all these paintings up and around. I love all the symmetry that's happening here. Some of them are really just simple, but so detailed and intricate and beautiful. And that's what we're going to really work on today. I love this one here. Look at all of beautiful designs and the color that they bring into their homes. It's just so warm and inviting with those blues and yellows. Have fun looking this over on your own. We're going to pull a couple in, probably just one in for now, into our procreate or onto our ipad. I'm not sure with some of the non ipad Pro, regular ipads, if you can split the screen, but I know it's in option for the ipad Pro. And if you don't have that option on your ipad, then just pull it up on your computer screen or wherever else to grab your inspiration. And we're going to work with some of these designs to help us create our own artwork. We're not going to copy any designs. I have to make that clear. We can't copy anybody else's artwork, but we can use it as inspiration for creating our own artwork. Meet me in the next lesson. 4. Design & Sketch: For this next lesson, we are going to work on building up our canvas and creating the beginning parts of our design and sketch. If you're brand new, I'm going to walk you through creating a canvas and procreate. If you're not brand new, you can skip ahead a little bit. But we want to create a symmetrical canvas in procreate, that is a square shape. If we need to do all the corners, they'll go into the corners properly. Depending on how we use the symmetry tool, it's going to be even all around. I'm also going to probably switch between the different options in the symmetry tool today to get the look that I really want. I'll show you how to do that. Let's get started. Open up your procreate app. We are going to hit the square. Hit the plus sign in the corner here. You can hit the plus again if you want to set up a new canvas. If we're going to work in pixels today, we're going to keep our DPI at 300 Way. If you send it off to print later on, it's the best quality. I already have one set, not going to create a new one, but I am going to do it at 3,000 by 3,000 if you want to do that. This way, it's just 3,000 by 3,000 I have 112 layers available, but we'll not need to use anything close to that today. I have my square and then I'm going to go to the wrench tool right here. I'm going to hit the drawing guide, Then edit drawing guide because right now it's just on the grid. And I'm going to go to Symmetry. For now, I'm going to keep it as a vertical. I don't know if you can see the line there. Let me make it darker. You can increase the opacity and the thickness. You can see where we're at here. I've already downloaded my procreate kit into the design studio and we make sure I'm at my colors. My colors are right at the top. Sometimes when they go in to procreate, if you can't find them, they'll go all the way to the bottom. And you can take a palette and hold it until it hovers, and then slide it to where you want it to be. Mine is at the top right Now it's the opposite for when you put your brush packs in. Those will go to the top of the page. As you can see, I've got all these different brushes and stamps for this procreate pack, but we have the symmetry turned on. I'm going to actually turn my thickness down a little bit, I don't need it quite so big. What we're going to do is also bring in, I don't know if you could see that, but if we tap on this near the top, you'll have the three dots and you'll tap here, hit split view. I'm going to open my pintrausboard. I don't need this to be quite so big. I can slide it over a little bit. Try to bring up some designs that I might really like. There's so many patterns to look at, like I said, if you don't have this. Option on your ipad. Just look, you can look at your computer screen or if you have your phone available, look on something else to grab your inspiration. But I'm going to look at all of these. I like this design, but it's a little much for today. I want to keep it simple. I think I'm going to do maybe something similar to this one. Sometimes you can zoom in on, it's not going to let me zoom in to, there we go. I love this little design. I love that it's not symmetrical. This one is fully symmetrical. But if you look at this one, there's different pieces that go off, that are off, and that's totally okay. But I'm going to stick with this one today. Then I can go to my pieces. Here, let me show you. So I have them all set, and when you scroll up and down, you can change the size in the way I have my board set up. I have to turn my paper to get a better angle on the brushes If you want that bigger the move tool and uniform. And if you pull from the center during the top or bottom, it'll make it bigger here. You can change the shape of these once you get into the drawing aspect of this. But this is really for just placement to get the balance and the harmony on your layout all set up. Another thing that's really nice, let me make sure it's set up that way. If you're hovering, I don't know if you can see that changed something in my There is an option in your preferences. That's how you can change when you're in your preferences, on your brush cursor. You can see that here you can the different scaling and gestures cover the applicant to adjust the brush capacity and size. Want that turned on. Okay. Did you see how I get there to the wrench tool preferences? Just your control and hover. I like that hover aspect so that when you're here, you can change the size in the moment. You're not coming over here trying to figure it out. It's just right here. Since this is on one layer, I'm going to do a new layer and I'm going to make sure I hit Drawing assist, new layer, tap here. Drawing assist. That way I have that on. If I need to change the size on things, I can do that. I'm going to turn it and move this away. Those are some of the things that we can use to get started. 5. Building the Quilt Square: Let's move on to actually creating our whole sketch and work in the program. It's really important to make sure when you're planning to get all the pieces down and really work through how it's looking. That's why we're doing the sketch first, which is really, for me, not something I usually do, But I found in this pattern building and symmetry design, it really is helpful so that you can see what you want to get down and you work from there. I'm going to just slowly work through and I'm going to keep doing new layers for things. That's my own personal preference, but like this one, symmetry is not turned on. Drawing Assist, here we go. There's lots of different options to choose from. You know what? I'm going to do something else onto this layer. This layer. I like these little balls here. But I want to change up the design that's on them. I'm going to bring that down. I'm going to just add little flowers on. It's really fun because they don't have to stick with the ball design. If you don't want to, you can change it up. And I like having the flowers on there to have something else to work with. You could do the same with this flower too. Can change that up. There's a lot of different options and it's really fun to some of them. You might notice, I have two different directions. This one goes in one direction. It works for both directions. You can have the little squiggles in there. I'm going to put that on the new layer because I think I want to make it bigger. Again, it up, right? This is all just trying to figure out the balance for your piece, like this one. I think I want to slide it up. And did you see, Oops, when I moved things I have snapping turned on and magnetics turned on. That way it will get you if it's yellow center on the horizontal, or you can have center on the vertical. See, I don't know if you can see turning yellow and completely centered is the yellow cross. That's a fun little trick that you can do. I have the sketch pencil in here as well, so that you can create your own little pieces. If something that I have on there doesn't quite work for you, like this. And I'm going to take one of my little pieces here and add a flower in bigger, change color back to black. And this piece here, I think I just want some of this happening, but I don't want it so big. Keep accidentally changing the color with my knuckles. Now, it doesn't have to be perfect because like I said, it's just going to be, this is just our sketch, the darkness and the lightness. That can all be fine, dandy. Okay. Next I'm going to turn off, I'm going to do a new layer. And I'm not going to turn on my assisted drawing because I want to do something directly in the center, probably this piece here. I want to make sure that I have it and out correctly. Okay, because I did those little flowers there. I'm going to do that again. I don't want it to mimics of big bring it down turn. And I'm going to maybe just keep the bottom ones as those little balls. Maybe I'll do that that way. It looks like it's just the beginning of the bud. For this next part, I'm going to change up the symmetry to quarter symmetry so that I can get all the corners all at once with one design. You do that again by going to your wrench tool, going to canvas. Going back to drawing guide and editing your drawing guide. Come over to Options and we want it as quadrant. If you have it in radio, if you only have one design going in, that's another way to get all your corners. Say I only have this piece going into the corner, right. Turn on my drawing assist, make sure that's turned on. Actually, I'm going to do a new layer drawing assist because that's the layer that I didn't want drawing assist on. If you come into radio, you're going to have it. It'll go to all of the corners. Let me show you real quick. Oops, larger. If you look, you have all of your corners set. If you have quadrant set, let me show you that one. I'm going to just toggle this off so you don't see it. I'm going to hit a new layer. Come over to wrench tool by canvas drawing guide. And I'm going to change it to quadrant and make sure I can turn my assisted on right here. If I want to put just a flower in here, then I can pop in the design. It's gotten all four corners equally like both of them though. Let me see, I like this one. I'm going to turn that one off. Turn this back on since I'm still in quadrant to get my piece. Bring the size down a little bit. Pop that in there. You know what? I also, let's see, I also have a circle on here. I wonder if I want to try putting the circle in the corner that's really big. This one might not work quite as well because I can't get it equal. I'm going to skip that. I can do it in a different section, but I'm going to skip back for now. I like how it's looking right now. Let's look at that again. It's similar design in the shape and feel, but it's definitely my own piece. I'm going to turn off that screen because I'm done with that. If I zoom in, you can see all the details. I've got some nice balance happening. If I wanted to, I could add some more pieces over here. But I'm liking just the simpleness of this one. If you're ready, we're going to hop into the next lesson where we're going to start adding color to our design and using that watercolor brush from procreate, which really gives it and look. That's why I'm going with the watercolor because it creates a look that the design looks like old world style hand fabric. Okay, meet me in the lesson. I can say that, right? Meet me in the next lesson. 6. Adding Color: Are you ready to add some color to this beautiful design of yours? Let's begin by looking at the color palette again. Actually, let's look at Pinterest again. Let's check out your inspiration. Right, let me show you again the colors they have that they're using are these beautiful blues and golds and reds. It just makes it so magical. I love looking at the artwork that is in these homes. I think I showed you this one before. Again, the blues and yellows, greens, just the colors of the earth and outside. And I know just the beautiful landscapes that you might see throughout these homes. I love this one that someone painted on the chest of drawers or their wardrobe. And they brightened it up a little bit, but again, the blues, greens. This one's the greens and the yellows and reds. All of these beautiful colors create the nostalgia and the just old world charm that I would love to help inspire you in this class with. You can also pick up the Carl Larson book if you have one happen to your library or look them up online. This is Carl Larson and his wife Karen, and they're beautiful little children. Just grabbing these colors, like this one is a little more muted, but you still have the blues. The greens, The reds. It just creates these beautiful, magical designs and colors and really brings it all home for me. I love this one. That's a little bit brighter. Yeah, I love it. That's where all these colors came in. Right. We are going to work on adding color to your design. I am all set with all of these. If you don't have a lot of layers, you can slide them all to the left and pull them together because I don't need to change this anymore. But sometimes I like to use them. I will group it and hold it down. I'm going to rename it Original Sketch. I'm going to lock that into place on a new layer. I'm going to open it up. I'm going to start with the corners, since I'm already here. No, actually I'm going to work my way through. I still have my drawing assist set up as a quadrant. Remember the first part we used as a vertical? I'm going to first turn it on, but I'm going to go back to my Wrench tool and canvas drawing guide and change my option to vertical. Now I'm going to work through the colors and choose which colors I want to start with. I'm going to go to my detailed watercolor brush. I click on the brush and it's got some nice brightness. And it changes colors or fades a little bit. It creates a nice washed look. Like I said, I'm going to go to my colors over here. Which color? I'm going to I'm just going to dive right in with the green for the leaves. I've got to decide, I think I'm going to do this green. I have some sizes. I'm going to bring the opacity all the way up. I have some sizes already set. You do that by tapping on it. I already had one set, four of them set. It only allows you to do four set, but if you want to set it, you find the percentage and by scrolling up and down. You can change your percentage and you can see the size. It's going to be here. I'm going to bring it up to 50% I'm going to tap on it and then I'm going to use my finger to tap it in place. I have different sizes set for different things that I've been doing, but we're going to start with this bigger one, since we're right here. And make sure I'm on that new layer. It doesn't have to be perfect, but what I like to do is it all the way in without lifting my pencil, going outside the lines, it's totally fine. See how I have a little space here. I can use a brush. I'm going to change that out real quick. If I hold it, it's going to go to the brushes that I already am using. I can do some erasing, then I can go on to the next piece. I decide if I want to have a stem going all the way up the center or not. I think I will, but I'm going to wait to do that in a minute. But you just go through I'm going to add new layers for every color. That way, if I want to change them later, it's easier to change them. But I will pull them together to probably blend them out a little bit. I'm going to do this darker, quite black, but it's almost black for these pieces here, I'm going to bring that down, I think. Yeah, the line. So it's really quite simple. You guys got a piece. It's just a really fun, easy piece. And then, so what I'm going to do is take and use my blender brush. I'm going to hold it, it brings up the same brush and I'm going to blend out these pieces a little bit. It doesn't look so harsh and it looks like one piece. Bring that size up. The blending out your brushes are your strokes helps them to look more like they're a one piece. These watercolor brushes are translucent, then they blend on top of each other. As you could see, itops makes a good effect to take care of that. Another thing sometimes I like to do is go to my recent. I don't have that there. I'm going to go to my essential brushes. I'm going to choose my monoline brush. Monoline brush is a solid brush, it'll get every piece when one stroke did you see how I did that too? I can go to Re. It'll keep the top. How many 12345678 brushes at the top of your screen? All right? Yeah. Whoops. I'm going to pull in the next layer drawing assist on and I'm going to pick, I think this yellow flower or yellow color for this flower. It's just really simple to go through, create your designs. These brushes fade out a little bit. You can go back and keep working it to help blend in the moment, which is really nice. Like I said, it gives it that. Handed. Look, please don't feel like you need anything to be perfect, because this is trying to be like a hand cut piece of fabric, which isn't always perfect when you have it down and applicating it onto your cold square. Look at me talking about sewing in the middle of our digital procreate class. Did you guys know that's how this business started. Me hand making different pieces of textiles, carry pouches and different hats. That's how Perch handmade began, but I digress today we're working on this which is a lot of fun for me. I love making patterns and you can take any of my other pattern classes on the various channels that I teach on. For beginners, this is a really nice one because you'll have this beautiful piece of artwork. I know when I first began, it was a little overwhelming to think about making these huge, elaborate designs. It really scared me having something small and beautiful, but easy to create with a little help, really made it possible for me to believe I could be an artist and I could create beautiful artwork. Maybe you guys have heard me say it before, but growing up, I never believed I was an artist. And something inside of me just kept telling me that I couldn't do it. And I had to push past that feeling to really begin creating art work. Now I work on creating almost daily. See how we have our piece coming together. It's just really simple to create these really fun designs. I'm going to go with this one now. I'm going to keep it smaller. Work through sketches. Did I do that on a new layer? Might have forgotten. I got it on the. Just talking away, See how these overlap, the colors get darker. That's why we really need to blend at the end of each color, especially when they're overlapping each other. Sometimes you want to blend even before they're overlapping each other. I think I'm going to wait till the very end to do that, so that I can turn off my main sketch and see precisely what needs to be blended out. That one wasn't quite on. I went off track and all of that is okay to do, right? Okay. No, not a clipping mask drawing assist and keeping on that brush going. This is a different shaped leaf. I'm going to go with a different grain color. Well, and I'm gonna bring my brush size up, it's a little less work to fill it in you. Since I'm already on this layer with this shape, I'm going to create that shape here as well. I'm going to right now, go into my drawing symmetry tool, turn it to radial, because that's how we did these leaves on the edges here. I'm going to fill it in right here. Just as long as you're paying attention to what layers are doing, what things you can tell by how it's put out, how the pieces are down on the page. Then you can switch between your symmetry tool, while in the moment you don't have to stay on one symmetry tool for one piece of art, you can change it up and make it work for you. That's the beauty of the symmetry tool. And creating pieces of art work this way. All right? You can see the line going down the center. I'm back on the vertical. I need to turn my drawing assist on again and pick a new color. I think I'm going to go with this light blue. For this little blue bell here. I love blue bells. I don't know what. I guess it reminds me of all the magic of this era and the, I think Carl Larson growing up in all the Swedish design growing up. It just brings me back to my childhood and that's the great thing about art this way. What it can do so far, look how pretty it's already beginning to look. I'm going to put some color into this stem here. I'm going do this guy, I'm going to bring it down. They want to do that again. Let's see a way that looks okay. Now I'm going to do the new layer and I'm going to just turn that drawing guide off and the new layer does not have the assisted drawing. So that I can do this piece here. Since the other stems like that are black, I'm going to stick with that black. This is where I have to decide. I think I'm going to bring it all the way down and I'm going to start from the top. Bring it all the way down to the center. Yeah, just go from here. Okay. And we're going to do one more layer. This one is going to be yellow again for these flowers. Let's see how we, I need that somewhere in between. Work that in a little bit and I can work it again in a minute with my blending tool. But right now I'm going to put it this way. A little circle buds going. All right, I need to add some red into this design because I just do. I'm going to go back to my drawing system, turn it on, and I'm going to switch it to quadrant and turn assisted drawing on for that new layer. Okay, then I'm going to go for the red. I'm going to go for that little bit of a more muted red for this one. Just fill it in. If you do pick it up and put the color down again, you can always blend that out later with the blending tool. But it's going to take a little work to get it where you want it. That's why I like to not lift up my pencil when I'm putting color down with this brush. 7. Blending Color: How are you all doing with creating your sketch? Is it coming together? Is the painting or your design coming together? I'd love to know pop it in the chat and let me know how it's coming along for you. We have our piece finished. I'm going to turn off the sketch layer. We're still in quadrant, so I'm going to fix up this piece here. Let's see, how big do I want my brush to be for this? About 19:20 percent works for this one. It helps to just blend it out. If you need to bring the opacity down. I do that often coming into this corner, I want to keep it a little bit muted or lighter. I can just bring the opacity down while you're working on it. And it changes the blend to a blend. Like if I did this lay at the top, well, you can tell as much right here. But it will blend it out even more than maybe I want. I like to keep the variation and I don't want to keep it all one solid color. I like the variation. Again, give it that hand eyed look and how much pressure you put on your pencil changes some of that as well. Keeping your pencil, holding it at the end makes it so you have less pressure going down into it. Okay. The red is done. If I look at all the other ones, they're all fixed as well. I'm going to use this real quick to clean up this little edge here. Just a bit. Not much. But like I said, I like the look of it. Oops, the lines to be cut a little bit differently. Next, I've finished on that layer, I'm going to lock it, and I'm just going to work my way down. That's this one here. It's not assisted, so I don't need to change anything. I'm going to just clean up these edges real quick and blend. This one doesn't need very much. You just see as you're working on it. When you zoom in how much blending or not blending you need, this one needs a little more help, but that's okay. Another thing that's nice to do if you want to change it up how it looks a little bit, is maybe use your blender brush for shading. You can bring colors, lightness or darkness down depending on how you got it set to go. I'm going to clean up just this little edge here. There we go. And move on to the next one. Move, there we go. And then those little guys I think are doing okay, I am going to go to this next layer and erase some of. That's connected. Then I will blend out this area that, that's all set and ready. Okay. We'll have to do some magic too, in a little bit. It looks like they're all connected. Since I these layers. Yeah. I'll show you what I'll do in a minute. Another thing it could do is duplicate. Then it hides some of that and creates a darker. I'm going to duplicate both of those because I like the, the darker on that layer. There you go in this one, if you pull those two together, it makes it one. What I can do is tap on one the above one and hit merge down and it merges those together. This one is the underside one that I need to blend into the top one. I'm going to just go in here, I want to know what's happening. It's assisted. I'm going to turn drawing assist off for a minute. And I'm just going to blend this a little bit out. Blends it into the other piece. That's the only spot I have, that one. And this one I can blend into those pieces. You might not even be able to see what I'm doing here because it might not be picking it up. But you can see the junctions here. And I'm just wanting to blend them together so it looks like it's one piece. I'm going to keep that on the black layer on top because that's just what I choose. All right, next layer, it's still assisted. I'm going to go, that one is as on the quadrant, so I'm going to change it back to vertical. This one doesn't need much. It's looking pretty good. Just a bit. Just a little bit of blending is all that it needs. A little bit of clean up. Maybe just that one. Okay, now I'm going to go, I'm going to stay on the vertical assist for this one because this layer is the layer that has the radial and it has the vertical. I'm going to stay on the vertical, assist for the center and use my brush to blend. This needs a little bit more help. That's okay. I'm going to pull of color up there a little bit more. I love blending. I don't love blending because sometimes it says you're using the same brush that you worked with. Sometimes it blends it in a way. I guess it's just blending. That's just what it is. And sometimes I just want it to create the same look. And it doesn't always do that. This brush really does create the same look. You worked really hard on making these brushes to make sure that some of those happen that way. Not all of them do that, but this one definitely does. Again, that's detailed watercolor stroke brush. Oh, no, no. Sometimes. Oh, and that was two fingers to undo that little action I did there. I'm going to bring that down. Did you ever see me to tap two fingers on there? That's what that is about. Three fingers redoes the action, but you're not going to see it very much right here. Because it is. Because it was a tiny little action. Okay. I still want to blend out a bit more, get more even. Sometimes you could just spend all day blending, but we're not going to do that. Okay, we set and we'll work down. Oh, now we need to change it through radial symmetry. Radial. This changes the guide, the color of your guide. Depending on what you're working on. Sometimes you need it color. I typically just keep mine at B, unless I'm working on a dark canvas and I need it white. Those are typically the two colors that I use. All right, we're getting there, we really are. And see how you can see the size of my brush stroke and the color. That is another thing that I have set up in my preference. I've got my cursor all set up so that you can see it that way because that works well for me, especially in projects like this. Okay, what's the next layer we're working on? I believe it sees blue guys, which these really do need. Yep, this one, I'm going to go back to vertical and do a quick but that down in size, keep it here. Just quickly, go through, blend, blend, blend. That's what this part, it's all about. It's just blending, right? This one needs a little cleaning up. Get it to where I want it to be, but not much. Again, you can change the size of your brush by moving your fingers in and out when you have it on that setting they showed you about the beginning. Here we go. This one, I need to bring that size down because I want to clean it up a little bit, end this a little bit too big. Two, bring the two fingers back. Okay. Are you guys still with me? Did they finish this one yet? Let's look. I think this one will go quick. Did I do this one? I don't think so. Here we go. This is our last one. And bring the colors in a little bit more. Bring that, Pay up a little bit more so I can get the colors blend the way I want them to view. We're almost done. What has been your favorite part so far in the chat? I'd love to hear or if you're struggling with anything in particular, I want to know, because this community is great at helping each other out. I just love to hear your thoughts. Let's see. Okay, one more. Bring the size up for this one, since it's bigger. All right, friends, that's done. I am going to turn off my drawing guide. I am going to unlock this one. I'm going to take all of these, slide them to the right. Depending on how many layers you've used, you should be able to duplicate this one more time. And I like to flatten it down. And sometimes I really like the darkness of that that's happening there, You know, I'm going to keep it that way. 8. Final Details: The next thing we can add, which I'm just going to show you a little bit of because it can take a little bit of time. But finding a white and using the stitch again, use your assisted layers. Vertical is on. Right now I can tell drawing assist slowly go over your piece and create stitch marks. Sometimes it likes to make it a funky line on the first line. You just have to figure it out. Sometimes I will actually plan to erase one of the lines. I think I've got it mostly working properly. This one is going to do a sideways line. With this line I'm going to erase, I'm going to bring that side up to erase it. Then I'm going to come back in here because just funny, funny little details, you just have to work with this one. I'm going to go over and start. If I turn this off, you can see that piece there. I'm going to get rid of this line and that line. Just a quick little work around to get past that first line that doesn't want to cooperate. I guess that's what I'm going to say it doesn't want to do, it doesn't want to cooperate if you don't have a white background. If you want to change the background, you'll see it, but you can change your background to work for you. Or if it's a white background, then maybe you don't have to erase anything because you can't see it. Anyway, do what works for you to get your stitching on the paper, on the procreate canvas. Do you like how this is going quickly? Do you like being able to add that extra design in? I'd love to know. Okay, the next thing I'm not even getting off of this layer, I'm just changing it up, the radial for the corners. I'm just keeping my stitching on one layer. And then I'm going to switch right now to quadrant for the, the red flower here. I want that one to the edge so you can do it, however works for you. All right, and now I'm going to turn off my assisted drawing for the center book. This one, I'm just tapping it down because it doesn't want to go into a circle very easily. You can just tap it down. A lot of fun. You'll do just what you want to do. Have fun with this brush. You can do so many other things with it. Okay, I have it all. I've got a little bug who's bothering me. Okay, now that's my stitching layer. I'm going to do one more layer. I'm going to change this layer. Clicking on the end, that's a normal mode, and I'm going to turn it to overlay. I'm going to turn off my drawing guide. I don't need that on anymore. I'm going to make my color dark. Just go for black because it's on overlay. It. Just overlay what I've already drawn, this brush. It's a big brush and have the opacity all the way up. I can just add it in and you can see how the design changed color. I turn it back, it gets a little bit darker. But if I zoom in, you can see, can you see it? Can you see the texture that's happening? It looks like it's fabric. There you have that design. We have a really cute quilted square that you can add to any thing. And any design you can print it up or even put it into spoon flour, which will be another class. Actually have a few classes on how to do that in my various classes. I'll put links to that in this as well. 9. Showcase & Sharing: I really enjoyed going over this design and learning about Swedish folk art with you today. I loved bringing you back to my childhood and looking at the Carl Larson books together. I have quite a few Carl Larson books that my mother had around the house. My sisters and I would pass the books around to each of our homes and share them because we just grew up on that nostalgia. And going through the woods and learning about the different folk lores and having that sense of calm. I guess that's what this brings to me is it's a sense of calm. And I hope you enjoyed creating your Swedish folk inspired quilt square in procreate. It's a mouthful together and working with me. Katie, from Per Chan Made. You can find me online at Per Cha Made.com I'd love to have you share your designs, put it into a portfolio, put it into social media. If you are going to put it on social media, use the hashtag creating with M. That's my creative hashtag. Anybody who uses that hashtag, we can share to the designs and look at what everybody is creating by taking some of my classes. You can also share it in the community and drop it into the discussions and into the projects section, because we all love to see your artwork and we love being that fly on the wall and looking at everybody's designs and checking them all out. Please, please sign up for more classes and, um, I really enjoy teaching with you guys, for you guys and helping beginners get started because we were all a beginner one time and I really know the struggle that it can be to get started. I can't wait to see what you create next. Thanks for popping in by.
