Shiny Letters – Illustrative Hand Lettering For Beginners

Have you ever wanted to create those stunning quote artworks but you have no clue about lettering?

I’ve got you! In this class you will learn to craft and illustrate lettering artworks using your handwriting and some basic drawing skills!

WHY TO TAKE THIS CLASS?

Hand lettering is a cool addition to any artwork or it even can function as a stand alone piece. Either way, it might be overwhelming to navigate through all the typefaces, fonts, rules, etc. I just wanted to simplify it, as I myself struggled a lot with procrastination over illustrating my favorite quotes.

If you are here, we know two things: you can write and you can draw basic things like lines and shapes, right? Then this class is perfect for you! We will use these two skills to create a stunning illustration of your favourite quote.

What’s more, I will teach you a cool technique to make your words 3D and shiny. Using Procreate’s basic tools, you can simply create effects that will make your letters pop and make the overall lettering an amusing piece of art!

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?

Regardless of your experience, if you have a quote in your mind you would love to illustrate, this class is perfect for you!

The best fit is for beginners as the class is built up to guide those who haven’t got any knowledge or experience about lettering.
