Master iPad Lettering with Procreate: Pro Techniques for Artists

This start-to-finish class will teach you the essentials of hand lettering on the iPad with Procreate, plus provide in-depth lessons about popular effects (like ombré lettering) and challenging skills (like lettering in layer masks). I show you my favorite techniques for some of the most popular and fun hand lettering effects, and I share tips and shortcuts for a smooth workflow.
Are you a total beginner? Fear not! This class starts at the very beginning with an introductory exploration of Procreate’s interface and the cool new ways it interacts with the iPad operating system. I even give you free guide sheets so you can practice your letters.

Procreate 4 interface and the Files app
Lettering basics from drawing letters and baselines to selecting and resizing
Brush tutorials on importing, editing, and designing them from scratch
