Tropical Vibes: Color Palettes for Summer-Inspired Procreate Art

Summer is a season of vibrant energy, warmth, and relaxation. The sun-kissed beaches, lush tropical landscapes, and colorful flora inspire a sense of joy and adventure. In this blog post, we'll explore a collection of color palettes specifically designed for Procreate (because you get the Procreate file in the course section 😉 - the course is free), allowing you to infuse your artwork with the bright and lively hues of summer. Whether you're creating illustrations, digital postcards, or designs for social media, these color palettes will help you capture the essence of tropical vibes and bring the spirit of summer to life on your Procreate canvas.

I also have you covered if you prefer using another program such as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. When you sign up for the free class you can log into the classroom and download the Procreate Palette as well as the JPG files from there.
