About My Creative Process & Tutorials
If you’ve ever looked at my doodles and thought, 'I want to do that,' you’re in the right place. The secret isn't magic; it’s mostly just getting comfortable with Procreate or Canva and having a digital pen. Whether you're working on an iPad or just using your phone, you don't need years of training to start; you just need to start playing with the brush settings and experimenting with layering.
Let's talk about the tools. For the truly hand-drawn look—like those neon squiggles or outfit outlines—I swear by Procreate. It gives you the pressure sensitivity you need to make lines look organic and soft. If you’re just starting out and don't have an iPad, Canva is actually a great place to learn the basics of composition. You can find 'aesthetic sticker packs' by searching for keywords like 'cute,' 'minimal,' or 'doodle' in the elements tab to get that layered, scrapbook vibe without needing to draw from scratch.
My Favorite Fonts
People always ask about the text overlays. My go-tos are ‘Morgan’ and ‘Birds of Paradise’ for those clean, dreamy titles. You can find similar free options on sites like DaFont. The key is contrast; always ensure your text color pops against your photo background.
Why This Matters
Art should be accessible. I used to be intimidated by 'perfect' digital art until I started just having fun with it. Don't worry about being perfect; worry about being you. If a line goes wonky, that’s just part of the charm. I document my journey because I want you to see that progress is messy, but totally worth it. Let’s get creating!
