In this class I'll show you how to create chalkboard hand lettering on your iPad in Procreate.  When you take this class you’ll get 11 free brushes & 15 lettering templates. So even if you’ve never tried hand lettering or if you don't like your handwriting, you can still create a beautiful hand lettered chalk quote.

I’ll show you every step of my process, from gathering inspiration, to designing a layout and choosing a font.

In the class we'll:

  • practice drawing and blending with each of the chalk brushes
  • learn how to use the brushes and templates
  • learn how to create borders, flourishes, and lettering layouts 
  • learn how to create your own chalk background textures.
  • learn how to create a hand lettered quote using a variety of lettering styles and shading techniques.

I’ll show you easy ways to space out your lettering evenly, and show you how to easily make banners and borders  Then we’ll combine multiple fonts to create a unique vintage poster style layout.  I’ll show you how to use my lettering guides to create tapered lettering shapes and I’ll give you the 6 basic font shapes I like to use, I’ll show you how to customize them to make them your own.

All you need to take this class is a quote you love, your iPad, and a stylus.  I’ll be using the Apple Pencil, but you could use any stylus, or even your finger.

Here are the brushes and templates. (the password is shown at the beginning of the class)
