Hand Lettering in Procreate: Tricks & Tips to Improve Your Lettering Skillshare Staff Pick

If you’ve recently started on your Procreate hand lettering journey and you want to gain more confidence and consistency with your lettering or if you want a few tips on how to make your work look more polished - then you’ve come to the right class!

Just like with learning any new skill, the early days of your lettering journey can feel challenging, overwhelming and even frustrating. It can sometimes feel like where you are and where you want to be are lightyears away – I certainly felt that way when I was starting out!

The good news is that you won’t feel this way forever. With consistent practice, your lettering will improve and sometimes all it takes to progress to the next level is for one thing to click - that ‘aha!’ moment when something you’ve learned helps everything fall into place - and suddenly the process feels a bit easier.

In this class I will be sharing a few hand lettering tips and tricks that will hopefully spark one of those ‘aha!’ moments for you so you can elevate your work and take the next step in your lettering journey.

I will share pointers and practice exercises to help with the most common challenges beginner students face like:

• Drawing steady, clean lines
• Drawing tricky letters with curves
• Improving spacing
• Creating consistent letterforms

….and more!

By the end of this class you will know how to observe your lettering, identify the problem areas and make adjustments accordingly. 

This is a beginner-friendly class but it is a follow-up to my Hand Lettering in Procreate class so if you’ve never tried hand lettering before, I recommend that you watch that class first, then revisit this one.

I will be working digitally on the iPad using the Procreate app but these tips will also apply to analog lettering on paper as well. 

Grab your pencil of choice and I'll see you in class!
