Simple Sketch Inspired Layout
Introduction
Use your artistry and scrapbooking to find creative joy in life.
- Living with anxiety with the current world situation and also an earthquake in my area, my creativity has waxed and waned.
- I have found even with a simple piece of art I can take myself to a safe place with my art.
1. Focus on Simplicity
Keep it simple when you are short on creativity.
- Create a File> New Layout and choose a size for your design.
- Select a digital paper for your layout foundation or background.
- Establish a focal point using a photo, brush or sketch
Note.
- This layout was created at 9 X 12 inches 300 PPI.
- Solid Paper #2 from ArtPlay Palette Disquiet was selected for the layout foundation.
- I wanted to focus on something hopeful so I chose this sketch from Li Li Wee.
- You could also draw scan your image and import into Adobe Photoshop.
