While the first half of this class is using a hands-on traditional method, you could easily choose to use Procreate to layer up your work. Once the favourite is chosen you then build up the layout using tracing paper and take it into Illustrator to vectorise the final piece.
The project is to create your own lettering piece by exploring a variety of tools and analysing different styles.
By first sketching the layout, she is able to work quickly and get feedback from the client before then finalising the piece digitally. She then layers up and refines the details using tracing paper as she goes. Martina talks us through her process, explaining how she builds up a final professional piece from the initial thumbnail sketches.
The class focus is building a unique lettering style based on your own handwriting. Martina runs her own studio specializing in custom typography and lettering. This is no longer necessary, as you can download straight to your iPad from Skillshare.Īnother great artist on Skillshare is Berlin based designer, Martina Flor. Note: In video 5, Teela explains a work-around for downloading the class materials on your iPad. The class freebies include a sparkly background and lettering guideline sheets. There are some advantages to using ‘additive’ lettering though in that you can move your lettering layer around independently of the texture layer. These techniques are definitely useful to know, though it’s worth noting since Procreate 4, you can now use layer masks to achieve the same effect (see class #7). Teela also shows an ‘Additive’ method, which uses blending modes to reveal the texture. You’ll then import textured backgrounds and use a ‘subtractive’ lettering method (using the eraser on a solid layer to reveal the texture below). Throughout this class, you’ll learn how to import and use your lettering guide sheets to create uniform lettering. The rest of the lessons are based in Procreate. The class opens with an overview of a couple of different iPad graphic apps – ‘Sketch’ and ‘Draw’. Teela runs the website where she publishes tutorials for traditional and digital lettering and design. There’s a high probability you know of Teela Cunningham.
