My favorite drawing app for iPad, Paper by WeTransfer, has entered a new frontier with The Paper Store. I am so excited to be a part of the launch. Watch the video below to see what the store is all about:

You can read more about the store here on Medium, but essentially I've created a collection of content for the store exclusive to the Paper app. We're talking all-new tutorials, activities, planner templates... all available to use right within the Paper app. Below, you can tour the collection. Paper is free to download on the App Store, so be sure to check it out. 

Science of Doodling Flowers transparent-

Here at Ray of Light Design, we've shared quite a few flower tutorials.

 

But what if I told you there was a simple, mathematical method that could unlock millions of flower doodling possibilities? A method you could memorize, so you could draw tons of cute flowers from off the top of your head? A method anyone could learn?

Well, it's here! In the Science of Doodling Flowers, you'll learn a step-by-step approach to creating floral elements. You'll start with petal shapes, and move through learning petal layouts, layering, and drawing leaves and centers.

2. Cacti & Succulents

Remember this cacti tutorial? Well, friends, now we've got a whole journal jam packed with cacti tutorials! It's time to become an expert.

 

Learn to shade cacti, add spines, and doodle desert flowers. From saguaros and prickly pears to moon cacti and golden barrels, you'll be drawing the desert in no time!

 

Explore step-by-step tutorials to drawing all of your favorite cacti and succulents, as well as practice pages to hone your newfound skills. Fill up desert landscapes with your cacti creations. This journal is great for artists of all skill levels!

 

Beautiful Block Letters-01.png

A major focus of Ray of Light Design over the years has been on Hand Lettering. We have an entire page dedicated to it. 

In this journal, you'll get an in-depth look at techniques for building block letters in the Paper app. We start with basic block letters, and then dive into adding effects, including inlines, shadows, and three-dimensions. You'll get to finish a few alphabets along the way, and eventually be challenged to invent your own lettering style. You'll also see how useful the Paper interface can be for hand lettering.

4. Textures & Patterns

How can you take a simple illustration to the next level? Here's how: textures.

In this journal, we'll walk you through six different textures and patterns that will turn the most basic drawings into intricate masterpieces. We start with easy patterns that add just a bit of oomph, and then move on to advanced techniques that will add a lot of pizazz to your illustrations.

After each tutorial page, you'll be tasked with adding textures to several incomplete illustrations. See the page transform before your eyes!

My Planner-01.png

The Paper Store is jam packed with tutorials and activity books by me and other creators, but there are also planners to choose from!

Minimalist daily, weekly, and monthly planners are available in the store, but if you want something more decorative, this planner and bullet journal has a collection of useful spreads to customize. There are templates to plan your day, week, and month, as well as a mood tracker, habit tracker, goal tracker, reading log, spending log, fitness log, and meal scheduler. You can duplicate each spread as many times as you need to build a truly unique, powerful, and personal organization tool.

5. My Planner

In this activity journal, you'll explore a variety of prompts inviting you to draw, collage and write out all your favorite (and least favorite) things!

 

Fun for all ages, you'll have the opportunity to draw your favorite album covers, create a gallery of photos, and fill up your book shelf. Create a time capsule of who you are that you can share with your friends or revisit in a few years. You can also duplicate the templates to use them again and again. 

What will you create?

Super Art Journal-01.png

Calling all kiddos! This journal is to inspire kids (and kids at heart) to create their own super art!

Draw your dream career, or invent one. Draw one favorite toy, or all of them. Draw a landscape of your hometown or an alien planet. The sky's the limit! Set your imagination free.

A digital activity book is great for youngsters because they can reuse the pages again and again. If they mess up, never fear: there's always the eraser. This journal gives kids the opportunity to get comfortable using digital tools, and inspires them work out their art muscles.

Inspired to Start Creating?

I hope you enjoyed checking out the catalog. Paper has been my favorite drawing app since 2012, and even with all of the competing apps that have appeared over these past few years, nothing has been able to truly replace it. I love Paper because the tools are fantastic and the interface is so user friendly. Now, with the Paper Store, you don't have to be an artist to use and enjoy this incredible app!
