Course Description

Overview

Are your letters at the party, but they’re not dancing?

This isn’t your ‘how to letter along a guideline’ kind of class. This is a ‘break the rules, inject personality and create endless original lettering styles’ kind of class. Where your letters don’t just sit pretty on a baseline, they bounce, dip, flourish and glide along, below and above it. 

In this Intro to Beautiful Lettering in Procreate course, you'll learn the foundations of modern script lettering (perfect for beginners), as well as how to break those foundations intentionally to create new and unique lettering styles. Throughout 3 different focus areas (bounce lettering, shifting weights and adding embellishments), we'll complete 3 projects together and you'll never look at letters quite the same again.

Your enrollment comes packed with bonuses so you can follow along exactly, from Procreate lettering brushes, to cheat sheets, lettering practice sheets, color swatches and more. 

To successfully complete this course, you'll need an iPad that supports pressure sensitivity (any of these will work: https://every-tuesday.com/ipads), a compatible stylus (I recommend an Apple Pencil) and the Procreate app installed (this course was created with v.5.1.8).
