Modern calligraphy is a fun and playful version of traditional cursive writing and you see it pretty much everywhere nowadays. When I learned it was with a traditional brush pen, but when I came across the Procreate App for the ipad, it was a game changer for me and I feel that learning to create your calligraphy digitally could be really helfpul for you too!

In this class, I’m going to share my personal process for making nicely composed modern calligraphy on the ipad. You’ll gain the skills to create digital files which can be used for social media, art prints, design and more. 

You will need an iPad compatible with an apple pencil and the Procreate app installed. I've also included some resource files for you to download and practice with:

-Basic Strokes

-Upper & Lower Case Alphabet

-Ruled Guidesheet

-My favorite digital brush to add to your library.

I created this class with the beginner in mind and will be going over the basics. If you already know how to write in cursive and you’ve been wanting to try your hand at modern, digital calligraphy – it just takes some practic. Let’s get started!
