Hi there! My name is Carrie Cantwell, and in this class, I’m going to teach you how to draw a fun retro floral illustration on your iPad using the drawing app Procreate. Why flowers? Flowers are timeless - they’re always in style, and they’re always popular. Why retro? Because retro style is super trendy, and retro art is very in-demand.

I sell my art through licensing clients like Alice and Ames, G&Silk, Dolly Valentine, and Jacob Heath, just to name a few. My floral art also does exceptionally well on print-on-demand websites like Redbubble, Society6 and Spoonflower. My art has even been featured in Peppermint and UPPERCASE Magazines.

You just can’t go wrong with retro flower illustrations. Plus, flowers are super fun to draw. If you’re an illustration beginner, flowers are the perfect subjects to draw, because they have so much variety in their shapes, forms and colors, you’ll never have to worry about them not being recognizable, as much as you would if you were drawing animals or people. 

This class is all about drawing a cool, retro floral illustration while learning how to use Procreate. This class is super beginner friendly, so even if you’ve never used Procreate before, you’ll be able to follow along just fine, and you’ll create a beautiful illustration you can be proud of. If you’re already experienced in Procreate, you’ll be able to create a professional level illustration you can confidently add to your portfolio.

As always, I’m giving you a ton of freebies that will help you level up your illustration. You’ll get my brush box, which includes 4 free Procreate brushes I custom-created just for this class. You’ll also get a set of 6 super trendy retro color palettes I put together just for this class. Finally, I’m giving you some free flower photos I took myself, and with these, you’ll be able to follow along with me in class. These reference photos will really help you, even if you’re not super confident in your drawing skills.
