It was so fun to see your monarch butterfly illustrations from last week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge! Here are just a few of the incredible submissions!

This week, we’re taking it back to a classic - florals! Floral motifs are always in style, and BONUS! As a surface designer, this is one of the best things you can add to your portfolio! Licensing partners and Art Directors are always looking for floral artwork because it’s so versatile and it’s a strong seller.

 

Your challenge this week is to create a floral seamless pattern! 

New to the world of seamless patterns and wondering where to start? I’ve got you covered! I teach classes that will walk you through the process step-by-step. 

 

Whether you prefer Photoshop or Procreate I have a class for you! And if you’re a beginner with either of those tools, not to worry! My classes are beginner friendly so you’ll be able to follow along every step of the way. 🤗 

 

Did you hear the news? I’m the keynote speaker at the Illuminate conference! This two-day virtual conference is all about automating your art business and optimizing your workflow so you can reclaim your precious time. 

 

Whether it’s uploading artwork to Society6, managing my marketing efforts, filming classes, or even just carving out time to create new artwork, I know that time management can be a big hurdle for creatives!

 

But this conference will help you break down the areas of your business that could use some optimization and automate them so you can get back to doing what you love – creating! 

Illuminate is hosted by Stacie Bloomfield and it’s happening LIVE on May 3rd and 4th. I hope to see you there!

 

I’m a proud affiliate for this conference which means if you buy a ticket I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you : )

I hope you have a great week! Don’t forget to share your floral patterns on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can see your work and cheer you on!
