Techniques for digital and analogue brush lettering

Not Just for iPad

The techniques I share in this class are for both digital and ink-on-paper lettering, as the same fundamental principles apply no matter which medium you are using. Although I do my demonstrations on the iPad using the Procreate app, you can follow along with other apps (such as Affinity or Photoshop) or even paper and a brush marker.
