Soda Pop Color Palette

Soda Pop Color Palette. Grab the sweet color palette I used to create this lyrical hand lettering in the Procreate app!

Soda Pop Color Palette

But I read that soda kills you and Jesus saves

-Gavin DeGraw, lyrics from the song “Best I Ever Had”

It’s no secret that Gavin is one of my all-time favorite musical artists, and his lyrics have inspired several lettering pieces I’ve done. This is one I did a bit over a year ago, but I recently updated the color and some of the letters.

Not only is “soda” in the lyrics, but the colors remind me of a vintage soda shop, so that’s why I called this the “Soda Pop Color “Palette.”

SODA POP Artwork Details + Lettering Tips

• I created this Soda Pop lettering and artwork using several of my procreate Procreate Brush Sets, but the textures were all added using The Texture Brush Kit. Check out a close-up look at the textures in this piece below.⁣
• This artwork took me 2 hours and 29 minutes and 1450 pencil strokes from start to finish (not including the time I took to do the original sketching on paper before moving to my iPad). ⁣If you want to see how long your Procreate pieces are taking you, it’s super easy:
  • With your canvas open in the app, tap the Action tool (the wrench).
  • Then, tap “Canvas” > “Canvas Information” > “Statistics”. ⁣
