Ok, so I’m officially obsessed and couldn’t wait to share the finished artwork. 😍⁣
⁣
As I mentioned in my last IG post, I took Megan of @makewells Funky Florals in Procreate and this is how my class project came out. It was SO much fun.⁣
⁣
Swipe for the process video and an alternate color way. This piece took me about 4 hours total to complete.⁣
⁣
Thank you Megan, for sharing your beautiful work and your process with us! I’ve taken a lot of Procreate classes over the years and this was my favorite to date. Learning to loosen up and just have fun with creating was just what I needed right now! 💖⁣
⁣
Side note: I used my own color palette and brushes for this piece to give it my own flair. I mainly used my Creativity Kit Brushes and Stamps. They were perfect for this style, so if you already have them, they’ll work great for this class. 😉 Swipe to see more about them. ⁣

Happy weekend, friends! ⁣
⁣
After getting three new workbooks in the shop already this month (swipe to see them!), I was feeling the need for a break to create just for fun. ⁣
⁣
Do y’all follow Megan at @makewells? I found her via @thehappyevercrafter a while back and her feed is such source of joy and inspiration. When she had a sale on her Funky Florals in Procreate Class last week, I jumped at the chance to buy it.⁣
⁣
Here’s a sneak peek at my project from her class. I’ll share the full piece when it’s all done. It’s the most fun I’ve had creating in a long while!⁣
⁣
P..S. Megan’s Funky Florals class is worth every penny even if you pay full price. One of my big goals for the coming year is to spend a lot of time working on my illustration skills and mix those into my lettering pieces more. Megan’s class was just what I needed to get started in that direction!
⁣
P.P.S. My Happy Email friends get the “50 Ways” Worksheet that features all 50 styles FREE each week. ⁣
⁣
It’s free for the first 24 hours and then available as part of the expanded workbook for just $5 after that. So be sure to sign up for my emails AND open them to get the freebie each week! ⁣
⁣
Letter B goes out on Monday and I’ll be working my way through the whole alphabet. ⁣

October is my birthday month! 🎃 #HalloweenBaby⁣
⁣
This year, it’s also my last month in my 30s. 👻⁣
⁣
Did you know I’ve been sharing a free Procreate Floral Drop Cap tutorial on my blog and YouTube Channel every month this year? ⁣
⁣
🖤 This is October’s Project.⁣
⁣
💻 Pop over to my blog to follow along with the step-by-step video on how to create this spooky glam letter O. ⁣
⁣
The video tutorial is just shy of 35 minutes long and you’ll need to press pause along the way once or twice as instructed in the video lesson. You can expect this project to take you about 45-60 minutes to complete.⁣
⁣
Freebies on the blog for this project include:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Project Reference Sheet⁣
2️⃣ Project Color Palette⁣
3️⃣ Set of Six Free Procreate Stamp Brushes⁣
⁣
📆 You can also grab free calendars and desktop wallpapers with this design on it under the 2021 Calendars tab on the blog menu bar.⁣
⁣
Happy creating and happy October!⁣

The English major and book lover in me is here for the literary device puns. 🤓⁣
⁣
Prose is the fancy term for our everyday writing style in which we communicate in a manner that uses basic grammatical structure and flows naturally. ⁣
⁣
Most novels, non-fiction books, essays, blogs, and emails are all forms of prose.⁣
⁣
Side note: It is not lost on me that this pun is grammatically incorrect. 😆⁣

In my heart, every day is coffee day, but today it’s official. ☕️💖 Happy National Coffee Day!⁣
⁣
✏️ This is an update I did on an older lettering piece. I created it with my Watercolor Lettering Kit for Procreate brush set (available in my shop along with a Watercolor Lettering in Procreate Online class.) ⁣
⁣
👀 Zoom in for a closer look at the textures. ⁣

I looooove Fall. It’s is easily my favorite season! 🍂💖 ⁣
⁣
✏️ Swipe for an alternate color scheme and some texture close-ups.⁣
⁣
Side note: Fall in Charleston feels more like Summer, so I’m still in jean shorts and flip flops dreaming of my cute boots and cozy sweaters that probably won’t come down from the attic until mid-November. 😜⁣
