About this class

Let’s create beautiful, unique 3D papercut art without any scissors or glue…join me in class to learn how to create digital papercut typography artwork in Procreate!

In this class, you’re going to learn the basic technique for creating 3D papercut art in Procreate, and then we’ll work through a full design together. After you complete the main part of the class, you’ll be able to take what you’ve learned and create your own digital papercut artwork to share via email, social, or as a digital card.

The Bonus section features some of my additional tips and tricks to help you take your designs to the next level, as well as a guide for how to bring your artwork into Canva and create printed cards for any occasion.

What you’ll learn

How to plan your design and sketch in Procreate
How to use Layers, Clipping Masks, Adjustments, and Groups in Procreate to create 3D cutout shapes
How to choose the right Typeface/Font for your project
How to utilize different Blending modes with texture brushes to get a digital paper effect
How to export your final artwork to share digitally
How to bring your artwork into Canva to print

Is this class for me?

Newbies and seasoned artists will enjoy this class and the project can be adapted to any skill level. To succeed in this class, you should have a basic working knowledge of your iPad and Procreate, but we’ll be walking through each step of the process along the way. You’ll learn some tips and shortcuts as you watch my workflow, and improving your understanding of Typefaces and Fonts will benefit any design you create in the future.

Materials & Resources

For this class, you’ll need an iPad with Procreate, and I recommend using an Apple Pencil or other stylus, although it’s not absolutely necessary. You’ll receive a set of Procreate brushes that includes a stamp brush of the lemon from the sample project (in case you want to create along with me and are concerned that you can’t draw as well as you’d like), as well as a bunch of digital paper texture brushes and two color palettes. You can get the Procreate resources and the Font guide HERE.

Let’s get started!

The sky’s the limit with these designs…once you get the hang of the technique, you’ll be able to use these anywhere you currently see typography or photos – how about on a website banner? Or create a set of 12 and get a calendar printed? These designs are so unique and fun! I can’t wait to see what YOU create, so make sure that you share your designs in the Projects area of the class.
