Our Camp; My first Procreate Art without a Tutorial

 My First Procreate Painting with No Tutorial

Our Camp, Procreate/Ipad Digital Art, no tutorial

I'm learning!  I had so much fun making this.  It's not perfect, but it's the best I can do so far, lol.  I made this painting/drawing/illustration (what are they called, lol) for my Dad.  

This is our family cottage, which we call camp.  I sketched and then painted this based on a photo I took this summer while I was out there. I want to try to make it again a year from now to see if I've improved.  

My Dad loves it; it was part of his 82nd birthday. 

Cute Autumn Squirrel, Procreate Digital Art

Cute Autumn Squirrel, Procreate, Ipad, Digital Art, #Genevieve's Design Studio

I Love Procreate and my Ipad Pro!

I made this adorable illustration (a few days ago), following a tutorial by the talented Genevieve from Genevieve's Design Studio on Youtube.  

I made some changes from the original  Since it's Autumn here in Canada, I changed the leaves to colorful maple leaves, instead of using green elm type leaves.  I also shortened the squirrels ear because we don't have long eared squirrels here, and I changed the mouth style and position. Other than that, I followed the tutorial exactly.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today's Art is Thanksgiving Themed.

Procreate Art, from tutorial by Tatyworks

 Thanks to Tatiana from Tatyworks for this fun tutorial!  Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada so this is perfect. 

I changed the tutorial a small bit...the only changes I made were to make the border red instead of white, and to add the words Happy Thanksgiving. I need to learn how to do calligraphy as my penmanship is awful, lol.

Cute Fox in the Forest, Artwork on Procreate

 

Cute Fox in the Forest, Today's Art on Procreate, #Tatyworks

I LOVE my Ipad and Procreate

Today I spent hours drawing/coloring this adorable fox in the forest.  I saw this tutorial by Tatyworks on Youtube a few months ago and really wanted to try it, but it was a 56 minute tutorial, and I figured that since half hour tutorials take me hours to finish, an hour long tutorial might take me days, but I got it done in one day (I am guessing it took about 3 hours?)  Nope...I just checked; my Ipad says it took me exactly 4 hours and 9 minutes to finish, lol. 

Totally worth it, and I'm sure I'll get faster once I learn more. I have learned a lot already.  Procreate is much easier to learn than Clip Studio Paint.  Much more intuitive. Plus, all the good tutorials are done for Procreate and being able to follow tutorials along exactly the way they were made is amazing.

Walks on Whitefish Island/St. Mary's Island

I love what I call Whitefish Island, but what is really called St. Mary's Island.

It's confusing because the Island is really made up of two separate Islands, connected by a bridge. You have to cross over one bridge to get to the first Island, which is called St. Mary's.  It's a lovely Island that has lots of trails and a boardwalk that meanders over a beaver pond. It loops over to the St. Mary's River and then back through the bush and fields one way, or to lovely butterfly fields the other way.  If you cross the second bridge, you end up on Whitefish Island, which loops around to the St. Mary's River and has a big boardwalk right along the rapids. It's quite lovely as well. 

Depending on my energy levels and the time of day, I either walk both Islands or opt for just the St. Mary's Island.  In my mind, I call both Island's "Whitefish" because the trail along the is called Attikamek, which is Ojibway for Whitefish. Plus both Islands are in the Whitefish Channel of St. Mary' River.  It's a lovely trail, right in the middle of the city, and I love seeing the wildlife.  

Chickadees are tame enough to eat out of your hand, as are chipmunks and squirrels. In the past, I've even had pigeons, a bluejay, and a woodpecker land on my hand and select peanuts or seeds.  I've seen as many as 15 beavers in the pond.

I love this area; it's so beautiful.
