on Flickr Inspiration I’ve been working on developing an animal illustration style after taking a class by Liz Kohler Brown and using brushes by Liza Glanz. Liz  created a class called “Design Your Animal Illustration Style” for her The Studio community. I’ve finished the lessons, but have much more to do.  So far, I’ve written about my style development here: WrapUp on Style Another…

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. Luckily, I know how to add gradients and a…

Protect Bats

Bat Day Protect Bats: the most important natural predatory of night-flying insects-eat over 1,000 insects an hour little brown bat [Myotis lucifugus] across North America #warmup4art #cldoodle24 #aprildoodle #internationalbatday

on Flickr Inspiration Liz Kohler Brown has a challenge about a trend in art: “Going Off Grid.” Today is International Bat Appreciation Day, so when you are off grid and are camping anywhere, you might see the darting bats flying after dusk to eat their evening meal of flying insects. Do you know they can eat 1,000 insects and hour? Just one bat, and nursing mothers eat more. Research and…

Coffee or Tea?

coffee or tea? which mug for thee? #thestudiobylizkbrown #warmup4art #cldoodle24 #aprildoodle #coffee #tea #coffeemugs #gouache #greetingcards

on Flickr Inspiration Another class using gouache with Liz Kohler Brown. Process Sketch Fill mug color Add details What did I learn? I need to plan the colors out before hand. I just dove right in, but with the size canvas I used, I needed to plan for less layers. I needed to not use clipping masks, but organize colors top down so I could add the colors needed on top of other colors. I…

#clmooc #repeatpatterns #thestudiobylizkbrown #ipadartwithjennifernichols #clmooc #augustdoodle #cldoodle23 #warmup4art A look at surface design with Affinity Designer

Welcome! Learning the tools of different apps is not easy. I’ve been using ProCreatefor a couple years, and have used  Affinity Designer, too. I’m digging deeper in the use of both of them to create repeating patterns for POD [print-on-demand] sites. I’m including that learning in my Wednesday posts. I’m continuing that learning by correcting the process I missed and wrote about in the post…
