Make Art for Your Walls - On Your iPad

Today, I have a slightly unusual question for you:

When you look at the artwork in your home - does it hold a story, a memory, or a moment that means something to you?

Not just those mass-market prints we all bought at some point because they looked “aesthetic” - guilty here too :D I remember thinking, “Okay, this matches the sofa… so I guess it works.”
But deep down it didn’t feel like me.

So what if I told you there’s a simple way to create truly special artwork YOURSELF - something you can print in A1 size, frame, and smile at every time you walk by?

Let me show you what changed for me when I finally decided to stop buying someone else’s “nice art”  AND draw my own.

This is how you turn your space into a gallery of your own ideas, memories, and creative style.
And yes - you save a ton. The only cost? The print shop + the frame. The art is 100% yours.

Okay, let’s dive in 🎨

We’ll be working inside the Procreate app.
Here’s how I built mine:

Choose your final canvas size
Start with a rough composition sketch
Add base colors, shadows, and final texture strokes
Brushes used: gouache, crayon, smooth marker, digital pencil

For this particular piece, I used canvas size: 43 x 56 cm / 300 DPI
You can totally follow along with your own variation.

And as for me, I’m heading to the mountains tomorrow for a creative reset!
I’ve got black walls in my bedroom - and the mass-produced print above my bed? Yeah… time for something better!

I’m planning a set of 3 A3-sized pieces for the space. Here’s my quick iPad scribble imagining the layout — super handy way to test ideas before drawing them for real!

Big creative energy to you this weekend,
and see you inside the Academy if you’re ready to create something beautiful - that actually feels like you.

With love + big drawing vibes 💛
