Have you ever tried drawing on a canvas? Have you ever experienced drawing on a canvas with a Cricut? Are you curious about how it will be possible? Well! It is possible as you may know that nothing is impossible. In today’s blog I am going to reveal some ways of drawing on canvas.
Can Cricut Draw On Canvas?
Yes, Cricut can definitely draw on canvas by using some amazing techniques. Drawing with Cricut on a canvas is fun. With a Cricut machine you can draw the same drawing on the canvas as it is looking on the computer screen. Cricut machines have a lot of crazy systems that are enough to draw a good picture on your canvas.
What Systems Are Present In A Cricut?
Cricut machines have such a software in it called Cricut design space; which allows you to create and import your desired designs to cut with your machine. Cricut machine has a rotary cutter, pen or scoring tool in it.
The Cricut machine is connected to the computer with a wireless connection and then the designs which you download in your computer are sent to your Cricut machine and then the Cricut machine will cut this design and produce final results on your canvas or whatever material you’re planning to draw on.
It can cut the materials like cardstock, vinyl, paper, wood and leather etc. Cricut machine that is mostly used for doing different projects is; Cricut machine Air 2.
What Type Of Pens Can Be Used While Drawing With Cricut Machines On Canvas?
There are many types of pen but some specific pens give superb results according to your desired pattern on canvas. Some of the most common and amazing types are listed below:
Calligraphy Pens:
If you want a calligraphy look on your canvas while drawing with a Cricut then you can use calligraphy pens set which are available in different sized nibs. Mostly two calligraphy nib sizes are utilized as these pens give a professional art touch to your drawing.
Glitter Pens:
Glitter pens are very useful when you desire to draw consistent lines with the smooth gliding ink. These pens look like ball point pens and give a glitter accent to your drawing.
Standard Fine Tip Pens:
These fine tip pens are available in a wide color range. They are the most used pens for giving the perfect look to the canvas drawing. Black fine tip pen is very comfortable and easy to use because black color on the canvas white background shows off the amazing texture.
Metallic Pens:
Metallic pens tend to have a bit bigger nibs and are named as the medium sized marker for drawing.
Infusible Ink Pens:
Infusible ink pens are mostly heat set ink pens that mostly allow you to use it for all kinds of projects, even you can design leather or fabrics with this pen easily.
Most branded pens for Cricut machines will provide you ease of fitting in the pen holding tool. But if you are using a simple pen there might arise a problem in the Cricut machine not holding it properly because of its thickness and size; as it is not according to the machine requirement. I found an excellent Cricut Pen Bundle that I found affordable and useful.
What Variety Of Cricut Designs Can You Draw On Canvas?
When you are using the Cricut machine, they provide software of Cricut design space where there are a lot of designs to draw on your canvas.
I mostly draw a multiple layered Cricut on a canvas page in Cricut design space. Layers are added in the background or in the front with the drawing. It depends on you whether you want the drawing in the background or the layer on the front.
In Cricut design space; two types of lines are present. Draw lines and cut lines: Draw lines are continuous and cannot be replaced but cut lines can be hidden by using the layer on it.
How Do I Make My Cricut Drawing On Canvas Perfect?
While choosing designs in the Cricut design space; be careful that the cut lines are layered and the draw lines don’t overlap each other, otherwise your drawing on the canvas will not be smooth and attractive.
When you are using draw and cut design together, make sure that the setting should be set as a cut shape outside and inside. There will be an option to draw shape with desired text or vice versa and you must select the option of both the elements to be attached, otherwise the Cricut machine will cut and draw the design on the separate canvas mats.
Recommendations:
Always use the setting of what kind of pen you want to use and of which color while drawing with multiple pens otherwise your outcome project will not be good. Cricut can surely be used to draw on canvas with the reverse canvas technique.
FINAL VERDICT
The whole discussion about Cricut drawing on canvas is by using a Cricut machine which is connected wirelessly to the computer and amazing drawing is produced. Cricut design space is the software that provides the right setting of pens which have to be used, the designs or structures which have to be drawn on canvas or the desired material and the fonts used for writing or designing with the pen.
A Cricut machine is better than reverse canvas because it is computer based while reverse canvas is hand designing. If you wish to design multiple layers with a single pen color then take care of every single step while drawing. The best pen is a Standard Fine Tip Pen and always choose the attached option of draw and cut shape elements.
