Happy February! I’d say this month has gotten off to a pretty sweet start. I would also be lying if I said I wasn’t craving a yummy piece of chocolate cake lately! So I came up with a cake shop theme to welcome sweet February.

I created this design using a ruler and my Pentel GraphGear 500 mechanical pencil. This is the perfect pencil for doodling and creating crisp and clean lines. The most challenging part of this design was the bricks, I always stuggle to make them look realistic. I created random vertical lines between the bricks to try to not make them look so uniform.

The different shades of pink I used are from my Crayola Supertips 100 pack. This marker set gives you quite a variety of colors to choose from! I went over my pencil with my .005 mm micron pen. This pen has a very thin tip to give my design all the dimension it needed.

After I completed the drawing and coloring of my design, I photographed it and then popped it into Photoshop for the final tweaking. In Photoshop, I always like to clean up eraser marks, marker bleeds, and smudges. I’ve been loving adding text to my design in Photoshop because my lettering still needs work!

Overall I’m happy with the design and how it came out! I’m always on the hunt for cute little local bakery shops to support and spend my time in, so why not create a cake shop-themed cover page for February?! It’s just too sweet!

Thank you for checking out this month’s cover page in my bullet journal! I look forward to seeing all your designs this month. Here’s a look back at years past February cover pages, which one is your favorite?
