Week 30: Found in the Desert

We’re traveling to where the sand is hot and the sun is high. This week’s theme is Found in the Desert! I’m really excited to see how you guys interpret these drawing prompts. There’s some animals, plants and even a little bit of scene illustration. Have fun and happy art-making!

I drew this little armadillo with brushes from my Dry Brush Paintbox.

Friend-finding just got easier!

We know that finding art friends on social media has gotten harder lately. The algorithm does not make it easy to create a sense of community. But inside the Art Maker’s Club, members from all around the globe are connecting, chatting and supporting each other.

We are constantly creating new ways for Art Maker’s Club members to connect with one another – like this super fun Friend-Finder Scavenger hunt!

Weekly Goal

If you only draw one piece this week,

draw a cactus!

In this tutorial, I’ll teach you how to make colorful, expressive, and texture-rich pastel painting in Procreate. I’ll teach you how to start with a reference photo, work with loose brush strokes, layer on colors, blend and smudge, and so much more.

Made From "Scratch"

In this tutorial, I’ll teach you all about how to use my Scratch Art Sgraffito brush set. You’ll learn about the brushes, how to use them, and walk you through creating a scratch art piece from, well…scratch! This process is soothing, relaxing and creates a stunning end result.
