I am blown away by the response to my newest class, Blooms & Shrooms: Draw Fun & Funky Art in Procreate! Huge thank you to everyone who has enrolled in the class, submitted projects, and left reviews! I appreciate you so much! 

 

Here are just a few of the amazing student projects that have come through in the first week since the class launched!

In Blooms & Shrooms, we explore how to play with different color palettes and choose the one that you’ll use for your illustration. We also explore how to adjust the color of your illustrations after they’re finished. 

With all that color exploration in mind, this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is to create artwork or recolor artwork with this “West Coast” color palette. If you’re creating analog artwork, just do your best to match the colors of this palette. It doesn’t have to be exact! If you’re drawing in Procreate, download the palette here to get it in Procreate format!

This color palette comes is one of 10 free color palettes that you can download here in Procreate swatch and jpg format! 

You’re free to draw whatever you want this week, but we’ll all be using the same palette! If you’re stuck wondering what to draw, follow along with the lessons in Blooms & Shrooms and draw or recolor a mushroom illustration. If you’re new to Skillshare you can sign up for a free trial and get access to the class with this special link! 

 

In this new blog post, I walk through the exact steps to take to get the Procreate swatch color palettes from Dropbox on your computer or iPad into Procreate.
