How to Illustrate Hand Lettering

Happy Friday!
This week’s start-to-finish Procreate lettering and illustration tutorial starts with a pencil sketch and uses my Calligraphy Nib Brushes to illustrate an intricate design. Watch each and every step I make in my work, and follow along yourself!
Today is a quiet follow-along video where I’m creating a hand-lettered layout design with an illustrative border. It includes floral elements and some cute leopards, too! While this is meant for you to be able to sit back, relax, and watch, I have included written instructions overlaid on the video, so you can understand exactly what I’m doing each step of the way. The two calligraphy brushes I use in this drawing are both from my Calligraphy Nibs Procreate Brush Pack:
Fine Point Calligraphy Pen – Smooth
Monoline Calligraphy Pen
Here are some previews of the steps and techniques you can learn in today’s tutorial:
