It is worth much more than my investment. I never thought I will learn so much. Getting confident on using procreate. Look forward to creating many new projects."
- Anamika L
"Honestly, when I first downloaded Procreate, I opened it and closed it again because I had no clue where to even start. After following the Procreate overview and this first project pack, I know what this powerful program can do. I would never have figured out any of this without the course."
- Jane S

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Charlene
Charlene was one of the very first students to take Procreate Lettering Projects. She worked through the Project Packs following our step-by-step instructions to create the beautiful work below. We love the way that she's added her own unique spin on each of the designs! She definitely has an eye for design.

"My iPad has been sitting on a dresser since Dec 2016. It’s great having an iPad Pro but when you don’t know what to do or where to start it’s frustrating and made me feel so guilty for buying such an expensive tool but wasting it by not using it! This course has allowed me to actually create something with my iPad Pro without any frustration or disappointment. The course was perfect 👌."

Detailed, Step-by-Step Lessons
If you've ever played around with all the features, you know that there are infinite options, which is overwhelming. But you don't have to master every single one -- we'll show you the best settings for lettering that we use most often in our projects.
Each project lesson includes:
- Step-by-step video demonstration
- Layer breakdown reference PDF
- Templates for lettering layouts
You can watch the video lessons as many times as you want, and even slow them down if you're stuck on a certain part. The layer breakdown PDF shows actual screenshots of our project files that you can use as an "Answer Key" to double check your own work.
Extensive Focus on Layers
Are you stumped when it comes to how to use layers? Don't worry, we'll break it all down for you.
Layers are crucial for creating effects like shadows and shading, blends, backgrounds and foregrounds, and most importantly a non-destructive workflow.
You'll learn all the best tips and shortcuts for duplicating, adjusting and grouping layers, using blend modes, plus the exact settings we use (and why).
Real-Life Examples
We'll analyze the details of actual pieces of artwork in several projects to learn how to introduce realism.
We'll study the features that are characteristic of these effects, and then teach you how to re-create them digitally through use of clipping masks, layers, smudging, and blend modes.
One of these watercolor pieces was created 100% digitally!
So what's included in the course?
- Pre-recorded videos (7+ hours) that you can watch at your own pace
- 3 custom Procreate calligraphy brushes, 4 sizes of lettering guidelines, and a Procreate project file with import instructions
- Note-taking workbook PDF including screenshots of all original project layers
- Gestures and shortcuts cheat sheet
- Templates for lettering layouts
- Bonus lessons about creating cut files and realistic mockups
- Lifetime access and free future updates
- NEW! 6 more brushes added in Project Pack 5, including our pointed pen brush
BONUSES
1. Traceable Lettering Guides You'll get a digital file to practice your lowercase and uppercase lettering directly in Procreate. These files were created specifically for use with the 3 Custom Loveleigh Loops Procreate brushes that are included with your course enrollment.
2. Bonus Project Pack: Creating mock-ups (no Photoshop required!). You'll learn how to create mockups like the wine glass below (which was created 100% in Procreate!). Mockups allow you to quickly and easily create product images for your online listings without having to physically make each variation or hire a photographer. You can send digital proofs of custom orders without throwing away time and supplies matching your clients' changes.
We also show you how to use Procreate to make cut files, including a demo of making some real vinyl decals!
3. Bonus Course: Procreate Lettering Animations This complete course starts with the basics of animations: how they work, and how they can be created in Procreate. Then, you'll make eight animated projects that each focus on a different type of animation by following our step-by-step lessons.
From basic lettering to depth, dimension, and eye-popping work
The "raspberry cheesecake chunk" piece on the left is great! In fact, we're proud of how it turned out. But it's pretty basic, with limited color variation and features.
The one on the right is based on the exact same lettering but you probably agree that it looks more impressive. In the piece on the right, we've added on these features:
- Custom color palette
- Watercolor effect including color blending
- Subtle floating shadow
- Textured letters and background
- Mockup to bring it to life
Just these 5 features have transformed the piece. Each of these effects are taught throughout the project packs.
The moral of the story?
This course will give you the hands-on experience to learn the details of creating special effects in-context so that you can apply them to any of your lettering projects after.
Transform your digital lettering from basic to impressive.
"This is the essential course for anyone who wants to learn or improve their digital lettering skills. I’ve been lettering with the Procreate App for over a year and am blown away by how much I’ve learned in this course.
Jillian and Jordan have made learning Procreate fun, exciting, and intuitive, and the project-based applications within the course provide step-by-step instructions that are systematic and user-friendly. This course is worth every single penny and more!
After a year of trying to learn Procreate on my own at a snail’s pace, I finally have the confidence that comes with receiving a comprehensive, ground-up education."
- Sophie Taylor, College Professor and Calligrapher

AT A GLANCE...

Everything from what all the buttons are and where to find them to importing files and brushes. You'll get a shortcut cheat sheet and three custom brushes that we created specifically for the course, too.
2. Learn how (and why) to use its powerful features
Layers, masks, clipping masks... what do all of these mean? Confusing at first, we'll break down these digital art essentials so you can actually understand them.
3. Create amazing digital lettering projects
We'll walk you through 16 hands-on projects that show advanced features in context. Trust us, the Overlay layer blend mode makes much more sense when you use it in the Reflection project, rather than just talking about it hypothetically ;)
You'll learn the what AND the why of each step of the process.
