This is one of my all time favorite digital pages. I had started creating my own papers and brushes and mixing them with some of my favorite designers’ work. My challenge to you this week is make your own backgrounds for your work. I don’t want to hear how you can’t do it. Yes, YOU CAN! Use paints, papers, ink, digital elements…anything. In fact, mix them together and see what you come up with. Using paint is one of the easiest and fastest ways to create a background.
This is an exercise in appreciating your own talent. We all have it, we just forget sometimes. I tend to use earthy tones and this page goes completely against that. It is bold and in your face. I love that about it.
I promise to share how I create my digital backgrounds. I have not been one to record my process, but I would like to start. I enjoy sharing and encouraging others to make their own designs. It is easier than you think.
