….two of Kevin’s newest characters

A little different from his monsters and wacky birds but I’m loving them. My husband is learning a lot on Procreate. It’s still a challenge but he does a little bit every day. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Monster Monday.

Having Fun With Procreate

…a slight departure from Monsters, Wacky Birds and Funky Frogs

Kevin is really enjoying playing with Procreate on his new iPad. He’s experimenting with different palettes and brushes. Here is his latest creation.

Monsters – A Work in Progress

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….or maybe two

The first monster my husband sent me today was titled A Work in Progress. When I asked him if it was unfinished he said it might be but then soon after he sent me a second monster with no title. I am so pleased that he’s enjoying working on his new iPad with Procreate. The goal is to take some of his original paintings and put them into a children’s book. Procreate will help him with backgrounds and give his paintings that finished look that you need for publishing your work.

Here are the two latest monsters.

Monster Monday – Using Procreate

Posted on March 13, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….a new twist on Monster Monday

My husband is getting very serious about producing a children’s book using his monster drawings. To help him with his backgrounds and clean-up his paintings, he’s invested in a new iPad Pro and purchased Procreate.

Procreate is a wonderful program used for drawing and painting. There’s a steep learning curve for those of us who have never used a program like this before but Kevin is working on it every day. Here is his first Monster Monday using Procreate.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Winter is Definitely Not Done With Us

Posted on March 11, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Sue W and GC for this week’s prompt ‘chill’ https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/03/11/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-chill/

I knew it was too good to be true. We’ve had such a mild winter and very little snow and then all of a sudden we’ve had three major storms in the last three weeks. The second blast of winter melted away almost completely over the next two days because it was warm and sunny but yesterday’s snow will probably hang around for awhile.
