This is entirely created in Procreate, text and frame, and whole graphic design shebang. It was fun not having to jump to Affinity Designer or Adobe suite. I loved learning more procreate masking/selecting tricks from - and just to shout it from the rafters, her brushes are AWESOME.

Hi guys... to celebrate the launch of my Procreate Dreams Skillshare class, the link below will give you a month free access to it. I get that there is a steep learning curve. Before Procreate Dreams I would consider myself an illustrator not an animator so I've made the class completely beginner friendly so that each time i use a tool, I explain the HOW and the WHY.

In this class, you will learn how to:
-Navigate the interface of the app, its settings, hidden menus, and modes as well as gestures that will help simplify your workflow.
-How to set up your movie files
-How to import your files and layered illustrations from Procreate to Procreate Dreams and convert them into layered animation tracks.
-The settings to make working with tracks easy and straightforward.
-An overview view of draw and paint mode including importing and working with colour palettes, and brushes and how your drawing layers interact with your animation tracks.

Next, we will go through a series of animation exercises and turn and a pre-prepared procreate illustration titled “Social media for cats “into an animated movie. By going through the steps of the project, you will learn to:
-Create an animated title that incorporates text, audio, video and layer masks.
-Apply Keyframes for motion and live filters.
-Learn to use performing and the flip book in draw and paint mode to bring our animation to life.

Don't worry if you are brand new to animation because the project file, brushes palettes, video and audio files are all included in your class resources tab.

All you will need to take this class is an iPad, the app Procreate Dreams, and a stylus. (For the best results I recommend the pressure sensitive model of the Apple pencil)

If you have been wanting to begin in animation in a way that doesn't overwhelm you, join me in class. Have a great day guys, and happy creating!!!!

Throwback to a dress I designed and had made years ago from fabric I found in the markets in Ghana. I was just starting out learning surface pattern design and my dream was to be able to make glorious prints like these. Fast forward 7 ish years and I have now I have now designed over 200 vibrant, joyful, fabric prints available at my store and this is the year I will start sewing clothing with my own prints! All this to say, whatever your goals are this year , it’s possible. Take one step towards them. No matter how small. The only way to not reach your goal is to stop trying.
Also, if you have always wondered how to start with digital design in a beginner friendly way, my passion is simplifying digital design and all the links to my classes on in illustration and surface pattern design are linked below.Have a great day and happy creating!

Just popping in with a burst of orange to say hello. Rocking my “Cocoa pods” print on my new tote bag. My beautiful friend surprised me with it this week after a very hectic week and I am now going to spend the next week finding outfits to match it! 🤣 This is a super sentimental and special print to me because it was inspired by the cocoa pods from my Dad’s farm in Ghana. It’s available at our “Cardwellandink” spoonflower store on fabric and our redbubble store on accessories and homewares. Linked below. Swipe to see the full print on the bag. Have a great day people! 🤗.
