How to Make a Screen Print Effect in Procreate

Follow along with me as I show you how to create a screen print or press print effect in Procreate. I’ll show you how to develop a color palette using three colors that overlap to create seven colors. I’ll also show you how to separate your artwork into layers, and apply a blend mode to create the transparency effect. Lastly, we’ll add texture to complete the printed look!

This artwork was inspired by the Making Art Everyday challenge. The theme for April was “Weather + Art Styles”. The focus is to draw various elements of weather while exploring a variety of different art styles, one of them being screen print-style! The drawing prompt for this piece is “rain.” For more art-style inspiration, see my article, 30 Art Styles to Try in Procreate.
