When you watch this class, you’ll get all of the brushes and resources I use to create my botanical illustrations. The set includes 15 Procreate brushes and stamps, and over 150 reference photos of plants and flowers to get you started. You can use the photos for your own illustrations, but I’ll also show you how I gather inspiration outside, so you can start building your own library of reference photos for your botanical illustrations.
First we’ll create an intricate botanical border around a quote. I’ll give you a cheat sheet with all of my favorite plant forms, and show you how to create all the shapes I use in my botanical wreaths and borders. Then we’ll apply a gold shimmer texture to the drawing that makes it stand out online and in print.
Next we’ll cover the easy steps for sketching contour drawings using a photograph as a reference. If you are just getting started with sketching, this process will show you how easy it is to turn any photo or object into a line drawing. Then I’ll show you a few different ways to use your line drawings in finished compositions including a vintage botanical illustration look, solid color blocking, and multi-color highlights.
