Holiday Trees and an Angel
Holiday Tree and ornaments on kindness; solstice angel to let the light in #createwithcatcoq #brushandbloompotw #ipadartwithjennifernichols #decdoodle #cldoodle24 #warmup4art
Holiday Ornaments Jutta Schneider challenged us in a weekly prompt– the first two being “ornament” and “tree,” which this top image illustrates. I’ve taken classes on Mid century Style from Jutta so that’s what I wanted to create. I decided there was too much texture on this illustration, so I revised the image to be more true to the mid century style. A little more flat, some outlining, and the…
Autumn Tea Towel Gouache
“thank the cook” floral bouquet tea towel design in gouache / color changing brushes from Jennifer Nichols #warmup4art #cldoodle24 #augustdoodle #ipadartwithjennifernichols #gouache #florals #bouquet #CreateWithCatCoq @catcoq #teatowel #spoonflower
Inspiration I’m still playing around with the gouache florals from Jennifer Nichols of Leila and Po Studio [affiliate link] and her recent “Live Lesson” “Flowy Fall Color-Changing Gouache Pattern” on YouTube; we learned about her new Procreate gouache brushes, ways to change their settings for using secondary colors, and how to make a quick scatter pattern. The canvas, brushes, and palette are…

As I said previously, I am illustrating a few cozy holiday birds for my hero art for the July CatCog challenge. I’ve spent a bit again today watching Liz Kohler Brown tutorials in Affinity Designer to refresh my memory of the software. I’m using the same palette, and adding a bit from the procreate cozies I made last year in Procreate. Yesterday I finished a little gold bird in her cozy teal…

Affinity Designer Cozy Bird in Gold by Sheri42 As I said yesterday, I am illustrating a few cozy holiday birds for my hero art for the July CatCog challenge. I’ve spent the day watching Liz Kohler Brown tutorials in Affinity Designer to refresh my memory of the software. I really like the idea of scalable vector illustrations, but they are a bit flat.
