My Art Journey

 Check out my teacher's blog on this project here . For this project, we had to create a design and then turn it into a pattern.  I thought it would be cool to do a pattern within a pattern.   First, I came up with a color palette using this super helpful video .  It tells you how to whip up a palette in Procreate. Next came creating my design.   I work at a hospital in the emergency room and thought it would be fun to make a pattern for work. My first step here was to  sketch of a basic idea, which was a cardiac monitor that displayed the name of my work.  I started out with the monitor screen and the writing of the leads.  I then tried to add a syringe.  Next I thought it would be cool if a stethoscope were to lead into the display, so I added that, the rest of the monitor, and then a syringe drawing up some medicine.  I liked it but thought the spacing could be better.  I drew an idea where the stethoscope merges over ...

 This time around, I'm following two of my classmates' tutorials.   The first one is by Daisy.  Check out their tutorial here:  https://daisyprizo.blogspot.com/2025/10/mixed-media-tutorial-digital-art-and.html This was a project interesting.  I've never used any photo editing before.  I got a trial version of ibisPaint X to do this.  The mobile app I found was difficult to navigate, so I got the Windows version.  The Widows version was much easier to use because all the tools were readily displayed on the screen.   The second tutorial I followed belonged to my classmate Kailan.  Follow their tutorial here:  https://kailanleia.blogspot.com/2025/10/what-ive-learned-so-far-with-digital-art.html This was a cool lesson on blending in the same app, ibisPaint X.  This was coincidental but nice for me because I had just spent time in the app on the previous project learning the ins and outs.  I decided to make something ...

  Hello again, everyone!  Today I'm posting an assignment from my Art Class which is  to make a tutorial for my classmates.  Feel free to follow along, this one is easy but fun! Alright peeps, this time around it's MY tutorial.  Now, considering I'm still a baby artist, I wanted to pick something that I was confident in teaching that I also felt people could do themselves no matter what level they are at.  It also needed to be fun.  My partner is an educator and I also worked in education for multiple years.  I remembered this idea from an art teacher that had come to my classroom.  She used markers instead of water color paint.  I felt like this was something adults could apply and have fun with.  So, whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or and expert I think you can follow along and apply this in your own way.          First things first.  Gather your supplies.  You will need: 1 piece of ...

 Okay, so this assignment is from my Art Class.  The assignment is to draw an image, transfer the image to a stamp, shave out sections of the stamp, cut the stamp out, and then use the stamp.  After using the stamp, take a picture of the product and upload it into a photoshop like program - I actually used Photoshop itself since it's free at the library at my school - and make something out of it.  My teacher made an AI generated image with their stamp which I thought was fun.  I tried making my own composition and also generated an AI image.  If you want to see how my Professor did this, check out this link to their blog!  https://candacenicolgarlock.com/blog/http/wwwcandacegarlockcom-5  So, first step!  Draw your stamp.  Seems so EASY right?  NO.  I sat for a long time trying to decide what would make a good stamp.  I love Pokemon, I could do my favorite Pokemon Dragapult.  Nah, I wanted to make my own thing.  ...
