Hey First name / friends!

You have been doing a fantastic job with the trendy creative prompts this month! The last trend motif we’ll be creating this month is a swirl illustration. 
 
Retro motifs are a huge trend right now, and these psychedelic swirl illustrations are no exception! 

I illustrated these two designs on my iPad in Procreate, and they’ve become top sellers since I launched them in my print-on-demand shops. Want to see the process behind the swirl on the left? Check out the time-lapse video showing the drawing process and how I turned it into a seamless pattern here!
 
#CreateWithCatCoq - Draw an Abstract Swirl
 
This week your challenge is to create a swirl illustration of your own! The best part about drawing abstract swirls is that it’s super relaxing. In fact, I was drawing mine on my iPad while lounging on the couch and catching up on some Netflix! 

New to Procreate or looking to brush up on your skills? Check out my class, Procreate for Beginners, to learn how to illustrate on your iPad.

Wondering what colors to choose for your illustration? I put together some free color palettes that you can use here! They’re in Procreate and jpg format so you can use these no matter what medium you use.
 
 
Don’t forget to share your illustration on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can like, comment, and share your work!
