Our recent live session with Live Hub expert tutor Sonja Morris was jam packed full of tips and tricks for exploring Procreate! So, in case you missed it, we’ve summarised below her 5 top tips for to make the most of your creative journey. (Keep scrolling to watch the full playback!) We do hope that these tips really help you discover a new creative joy and fresh techniques to make your work pop even more!
TIP 1:
Set yourself realistic mini drawing projects. You’ll be amazed what you can do in short interims such as 30 minutes whilst dinner is cooking or you’re waiting for a small child to finish their ballet class. Stuck for subject ideas? Look around you – draw what you see whether it’s out in nature or the utensils in your kitchen. Try it!
TIP 2:
Enjoy your journey – the ups and downs as they are all pieces of the puzzle. Sonja has had a varied career from photography to investment banking and sees the value in each and every experience.
Sonja says: “You’re going to be shocked when you look back and say, wow, that really helped me to develop a skill that I didn’t think I was going to need or use. Everything makes you who you’re going to be”.
TIP 3:
Never compare yourself to anybody else. Our Make it in Design community is so amazing, because each member can grow at their own pace, everybody is welcome and there is a place for us all!
TIP 4:
Creative block happens to us all – so be prepared and build up a bank of handmade and/ or digital textures, motifs and icons so that you have your own personal archive to dip in and out of.
TIP 5:
Do make mistakes – it’s a really powerful way to learn! Remember that golden rule – never throw anything away!
