Hand lettering is a versatile skill to add to your creative arsenal. If you’re a graphic designer, it can add a unique, personal touch to your layouts; if you’re a crafter, it can be a great addition to handmade projects or if you’re an artist who typically works with traditional mediums, this is a great way to dip your toes into the digital world without completely losing the freedom of drawing by hand.

Although this class is perfect for beginners, even letterers with a bit more experience can learn a few new tricks and techniques. In this class you’ll learn:

The Fundamentals: Basic lettering terms to help you understand the language of lettering, and the basic features of Procreate so you can start feeling comfortable with the app.
Sketching: How to draw letterforms, starting from basic shapes and building from there.
Inking: How to achieve clean lines & curves, which brushes to use, and how to effectively use layers.
Styles: How to build a style library and how to choose the best styles for your piece.
Finishing Touches: How to enhance your lettering by adding details like texture, drop shadows, ligatures, and flourishes.

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to create a polished piece of hand lettering and have the tools you need to continue your lettering journey with confidence.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
