Today's video is sponsored by Chromebooks so i thought it would be the
perfect opportunity to show you how I make my cell phone wallpapers so I've
grabbed my Chromebook my new toy for this season and I'm at my local coffee
shop so let's grab a coffee or tea definitely you should grab a muffin if
you've got one and we're gonna have some fun making artful wallpapers
Hey guys I'm Shayda Campbell and on this channel we do all things creative so if
you're new here consider subscribing now today it's the start of the month of May
and it's the start of the week so I thought it'd be the perfect time to get
out of the house get out of the studio we're out and about at a little coffee
shop in Charlottetown and I'm just gonna show you guys how to make your own cell
phone wallpaper it's sort of a nice way to refresh your phone this is something
you could download online but it's equally easy and way more fun to make it
yourself just a fun digital craft you can do it over the course of a cup of
coffee or tea so let's get started now because I'm going to focus on showing
you around adobe draw one of the Chromebook apps I don't want to get
bogged down with illustrating things perfectly so we are going to make this
really fun and we are going to do our best to paint a wallpaper that's in the
style of Maude Lewis a Canadian folk artist and folk art is kind of having a
moment right now if you think of work of Dinara Mirtalipova or Rifle Paper Co
they're very popular and it's also the perfect thing for a cell phone wallpaper
so let's get started here I'm on my Chromebook and I am just gonna open up
Adobe draw and the first thing when I go to create a new piece is I'm able to
choose from a whole plethora of sizes and I'll just choose 9 by 16 which is of
course the ratio for a cell phone and you can see there I've got a nice blank
canvas now and it's already sized and ready for me and then if you look at
the menu on the left here I've got a bunch of different pen heads so there's
a whole bunch of different sort of nibs with an eraser right at the bottom and I
tend to just use the top nib the round one is kind of like a sharpie once you
choose your nib it takes you into another menu the top thing being size
and you just drag your pen or your stylus up and down to change the size
next is opacity same thing up and down to change the opacity of your pen or
your color and then of course the color is at the bottom once you click that you
open up this color wheel and you can move it around and get any color of the
rainbow you can also go in here and sort of look up the RGB scales or change the
hex number actually right in the number of the color that you want or the code of
the color that you want I tend to use the wheel most often unless I want to be
sure that I'm getting like true white or true black so to start I've chosen a
nice light shade of blue and I'm making a border around my canvas then all I
have to do is click in the middle of that perimeter that I've laid out and it
will do a color fill so anytime you want to fill something in just click and hold
and then I'm making another layer I've got my layers palette on the right hand
side so pens are on the Left layers are on the right so you just click that
little plus button anytime you want to add an additional layer and any time you
use the eraser it's gonna erase from that layer only so think about that if
you want to erase and you're working all in one layer not only are you gonna
erase what you're drawing but you're gonna also erase your
background right so that's why we make these extra layers to make erasing and
and just to keep things clean and a little bit easier for you the artist so
I've switched my pen color back to white here and I'm gonna start by drawing some
blossoms I'm gonna do a little strawberry field inspired sort of folk
art wallpaper and part of the reason I'm doing folk art is just because it is so
graphic and punchy especially that style of Maud Lewis it's almost childlike it's
very whimsical and I just thought it would be really fun as a beginning a
beginner project a sort of intro to using adobe draw on the Chromebook and
you can create something that is you know it is a little child dish but it's
gonna look beautiful as your cell phone backdrop and you can just see here that
I'm changing up the color of the pen I also will change the size it's really
easy I just for size or opacity I'm dragging my stylist up and down to
change the size and then for color I click on the color and my wheel comes up
and I'm able to switch things up so here I'm going to start doing some
strawberries so I've picked a nice shade of sort of a cool pinkish muted red and
I'm just doing these little cute little heart-shaped strawberries the very
nondescript shape and I'm just layering a few of those I'm
also doing most of my pen work in a slightly translucent color and that's so
that I'm able to create some shading without having to change color and you
can really see that on the strawberries now for the green stems I am using an
opaque nib and it's just as easy as clicking on opacity and dragging your
stylus so it's very easy to go back and forth between a nice translucent color
and a very opaque color when you learn to draw on a Chromebook or a tablet you
want to cut yourself a little bit of slack there's only a slight learning
curve I would say before you start sort of forming your own habits and figuring
out how you create your own style on the Chromebook but it's nice to sort of
start with a project like this that's very graphic and punchy and fun and
you're not trying to make anything perfect you're just creating this fun
little colorful illustration you can see here with the leaves how I do an outline
and then I just click in the center and I get a nice color fill so that's one
aspect of the program that's very easy you don't have to color everything in
and I'm just going on and on here we're putting a few more blossoms and I've
used a very very simple color palette of a cool red and green anytime I want to
get my color back that I've already used I can just go into color and go to
history so that's a very nice feature is that I don't have to guess or remember
the hex codes or anything like that they're all saved there in the history
of the project and the last thing you see me doing here is just adding a few
little seeds to these strawberries and that's it my project is done it came
together really simply and beautifully and quickly and that's the nice thing
about the Chromebook is when you're drawing tablet is also your computer and
your internet browser you can answer your emails and you can illustrate and
design a business card over a cup of coffee and so I'm really finding it easy
to distribute my artwork and it's easy as well to save you can click and
you're able to save into your Creative Cloud you're able to send to your own
computer to send to Photoshop or whatever and then a nice feature is that
you can send this directly to Instagram you can Instagram it or put it in your
story and I often do that where I'm working on something and I'll be able to
send it directly into my insta stories so easy to share and distribute I'm
going to send that and save it I'm gonna get rid of the maybe cuz I know not
everyone will want this as a monthly wallpaper you might want to leave it on
your phone all summer and I also have another one over here that I did this
morning just some classic botanicals I thought that would be kind of another
cute one and these will both be available over on my blog
