I am always keeping my eyes open for new projects that could be done using brushes, and I found a really great Laser Cut Card that I thought would be a great possibility. What I loved about it was that I could use floral brushes to create a great graphic, then I could use filters and such to make it look 3d. It isn’t a super-difficult project, so I am hoping you can have some fun with it. You’ve learned plenty about custom Procreate brushes, but I still want to give you a few as a gift! This class, Simulated Laser Cut Paper in Procreate using Brushes, will show you some of my illustration and pattern design methodology, and new ways to use brushes to create a graphic. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a complete greeting card, notably with great dimension and a cool little clasp or closure. The star of the show is definitely creating shadow effects and dimension.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

my step-by-step method for using Procreate brushes to create interesting layouts
tips for creating compositions for a really varied and appealing design using brushes
my workflow for use of layers and other great features like snapping

If you’re an aspiring pattern designer with a good basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps. This class will benefit anyone who wishes to simplify creation of layouts and methods to improve efficiency.

The key concepts I will include:

review of my brush alterations and adjustments
a look at Procreate brushes and their various idiosyncrasies
approaches you can take in your creative work

This is an ideal class for you, even if you are not sure what you will use the art for, whether it be for greeting card design, or whatever! Learning new Procreate workflows is always desirable. I guarantee you will create something really appealing, and it’s so much fun, once you get the hang of it!
