New ~ Just for iPad and Procreate users!!!

Yup, that's what I said . . . 

New ~ Just for iPad and Procreate users!!!

I LOVE to work on my iPad ~ it's ALWAYS with me and no 

matter where I am, I am able to draw, paint, keep a journal, make lists, 

take photos, plan my day, read a book . . .  the list goes on!

So, today I talk about drawing and keeping patterns with me that

I can pull from at any time. Reticula and Fragments are huge for me.

Drawing, creating them allows me to practice, relax, experience and create.

This new file I created is very similar to the files I have created

for those who just want to print and go.

The fun thing about this file is that when you have finished

working on a chart or a worksheet, you can still print onto an

8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Very cool!

So here it is . . .

Proceate and Mandalas

I just love using the Procreate App on my iPad Pro.

Along with my Apple Pencil, I am able unleash more

of my creativity!

I am not a purest when it comes to my art . . . I will use any tool, any medium,

and any method if it makes me relax and feel joy while creating.

I recently starting taking online classes through Skillshare and

just have to stress how glad I am! The teachers have been awesome

and give their experiences and knowledge openly.

So how does this relate to Procreate and Mandalas?

The classes I have taken have helped me understand my iPad and

the app, Procreate, to the point that I am going beyond what I have learned

and am now experimenting on my own.

I love Mandalas.

On paper it was daunting because I had the worse time using a compass

to make those beautiful circles that I think Mandalas require.

So, in another program I made some templates.

(That's an understatement ~ I am ALWAYS making templates!!!)

I have recently made a Circle Grid Template, and

a Square Grid Template, and wait for it . . . 

they are transparent! That means when you bring

them into Procreate, they can each be on their own layer

and you can still see them at the same time!

Genius! LOL, for me at least!

Circle and Square Grid shown together.

Procreate is a layers app which means that you

can see different layers at the same time with out 

turning the layer off ~ providing the layer is transparent.

Just playing around and experimenting.

The beauty behind all of this too, is that
they are 8" x 8" so they can be printed
out on regular size paper.

Both of these grids and MORE can be

found at our ETSY Store.

 Oh, I created this using one of my Mandala Templates.

Thanks for joining me today! 

Hope your day is wonderful!

Loving This !!!!

So, in my last post I talked about how I was asked to create

a Pattern Step Out that could be downloaded to the computer

and then be available to print out onto their favorite paper.

I still love, always will, the feeling of pen to paper, but I have to tell you,

I have wasted a ton of paper!!! LOL 

I have an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil, (thank you hubby!) and my

son showed me this awesome program, Procreate. I have used those tools for 

quite some time and loved how I could practice certain techniques,

getting more comfortable with a pattern. Some of my favorite types of

patterns, or tangles, are from using a grid. So, this almost goes without saying,

The next worksheet I designed was the grid. 

.

This may seem to you to be very simplistic, but for me having the

dots, or squares, already there just allow me to start experimenting.

.

This is a screenshot of using it on my iPad Pro.

Now the beauty behind this is that Procreate allows you to

create by using layers. So my drawing these simple W2, Huggins and Pickpocket

tangles are on a second layer. I can turn off the bottom layer, meaning

the grid, and all you will see are my patterns. Sweet!!!!

I can save what I draw and even save as a jpg and print the "photo" of my design.

.

Printed out on Bristol Vellum Cover Stock 67lb. paper.

 

Thank you for joining me today! Have a wonderful day!

I was asked to create Pattern Step Out worksheets, or practice sheets,

so they could be downloaded to the computer and then

printed out on their favorite paper. I was happy to say, "YES!"

BUT ~ I went one step further!

I use my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, along with

the incredible program Procreate, to draw. I decided that

I wanted worksheets that I could upload to my iPad so I could

practice (and keep) my patterns and tangles that I use for my drawings.

It's a wonderful way to practice and not waste paper!

.

.

4 Pattern Step Outs (as seen in picture) that you can print and then cut.

Keep them as a full 8.5" x 11" sheet (store in sheet protector),

or as quarter sheets 4.25" x 5.5",

or cut each Pattern Step Out as a 3" x 5" index card size.

I use Bristol Vellum Cover Stock 67lb. paper.

I have several more styles that I will be adding to our

ETSY Store . .  keep a watch out for them ~ they are awesome!

Have an awesome day!
