Marbled Lettering Design with Procreate

Lately I have been really into drawing floral art. I love how flowers and plants can come in so many different shapes and forms and most of the time the shapes that need to be drawn are not overly complicated. I don’t try to copy a specific type of flower or leaf, mostly it’s just whatever shape I’d like to draw. Like this I also don’t have the pressure of having to draw realistically.

For this art piece I tried out the clipping mask tool on procreate. For that you draw a background on a layer, (Picture 1) then you write or draw different words on a second layer. (Picture 2) The word layer is going to be under the background layer. (Picture 3) Then when you go to the background layer, turn on “clipping mask” (Picture 4) and now your word will be filled with the background color. (Picture 5) I love how you can combine the marbling backgrounds with different colors and textures in one word like that.

The flowers and leaves I then drew with colors that were already in the background. Like that I was able to stick to the color theme.

The card itself was a birthday gift for my mom, she wanted to spend a day in a Swiss city, shopping and exploring the town. We ended up discovering Winterthur and realized how lovely the city is! Totally worth it!
