So you've taken my calligraphy or waterbrush lettering classes, you've practiced and you're hooked! What's next?!  Learn how to digitize your lettering to maximize your new skill and open creative doors and opportunities!
Maybe your goal is to see your calligraphy printed on things like notebooks, phone cases or even bedding.  Maybe you want to print your own greeting cards or art prints that you can sell and earn a side income from.
Whatever your goal is, I will take you step-by-step through my digitizing process using both Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop 
Who is this class good for?
This class is great for anyone who has an interest in learning how to digitize their calligraphy lettering and explore all the options that digitizing offers.  You don't have to be a pro at either Illustrator or Photoshop, however, understanding basic navigation in the programs like where to find your tools etc is good to know.  Otherwise, I will take you step-by-step and show you exactly what to know to digitize easily and quickly.
I will take you through my thought process for deciding which method is best for your project goal and how to achieve the best quality finish.  All of these decisions are made even before I start the digitizing process.
What you need for this class is your calligraphy project in mind, access to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, a scanner, your phone or a camera will help so that you can capture a digital image of your lettering before we create a digital file of it and lastly, a notebook to make notes from class! I do this with every class that I take, so I have quick reference to what I learn and can write the steps down.  Writing the steps down also help you remember what to do when you are just learning!   That's it!
