Overview

Learn how to combine hand lettering and illustration to create your own custom greeting card! 

In this class, I'll show you my step-by-step process through the drawing app Procreate. Greeting cards are a perfect platform to showcase the fusion of lettering and illustration. They are also a simple and inexpensive way to share a joke or to show a person how much you care about them.
