Draw your own cute symmetrical critters—and maybe even upload some work to a print-on-demand site!

This project is a two-parter. To start, you just get to have fun drawing! Play around with the symmetrical drawing guide in Procreate to draw your own symmetrical bugs, decorate them as you like, and then play around with different color variations to create work that will appeal to multiple people. You can download the color swatches and paper texture Cat worked with in the class if you’d like to create a similar style using Procreate.

Then, if you’re feeling bold, pick some custom work of your own (or create something new) to upload to a print-on-demand site and get your creative career rolling! As Cat shares in the class, it can take time to build a profitable audience, so it’s best to just start getting your work out there ASAP. Follow Cat’s instructions for exporting your work, and then share it with the world!

Whatever you create today, we’d love for you to share your work in the project gallery.
