Abstract Art
In this tutorial, we’re creating a super fun and colorful abstract background in Procreate. We’re keeping things nice and simple with basic shapes, and then building it up with soft textures and beautiful color blends. It’s one of those pieces where you really can’t go wrong, just relax, play around, and enjoy the process.

Skills Learned:
- Creating perfect shapes effortlessly
You draw circles and let Procreate do the work by snapping them into clean, perfect shapes for a smooth starting point. - Building your artwork in layers
You stack shapes on separate layers, making it easy to move things around and create a nicely balanced composition. - Adding texture with Alpha Lock
You softly blend colors inside your shapes without going outside the edges, giving everything that nice, subtle texture. - Mixing shapes for visual interest
