When I'm traveling, one of my favorite ways to draw is with Procreate. I know that so many of you have fallen in love with this app too, and so in this week's #CreateWithCatCoq challenge, I want you to take your digital illustrations to the next level by adding a paper texture background. This is one of my most recent Procreate illustrations inspired by my travels in France. I wanted to add some extra dimension and interest to the piece, so I added a paper texture to help it really pop. |
