Question 5

Accepted Answer

In addition to making a stylish valentine message, you'll be able to apply what you've learned to all kinds of lettering and design scenarios, like logos, brand identities, apparel, packaging, posters, greeting cards, stationery, and practically any other hand-lettering application you can dream up.

Question 6

I don't have any lettering experience. Is this workshop right for me?

Accepted Answer

The workshop materials are geared to artists of all skill levels—from beginners to experienced letterers. You'll also get a free PDF guidebook, access to the video recording, and the option to add the bonus workbook so you can continue to improve your lettering skills after the workshop is finished.

Question 7

I already have some lettering experience. Will I learn anything in the workshop?

Accepted Answer

I teach letterers of all skill levels in my workshops. Even those with years of experience have benefited from my particular perspective, especially the detailed presentations, info-packed drawing demos, free PDF guidebook, and bonus hands-on workbook.

Question 8

Will you give lettering demonstrations using pencil and paper?

Accepted Answer

Although my preferred tools for sketching are tracing paper and pencil, I will conduct lettering demonstrations using Procreate on an iPad for the sake of convenience and clarity. However, the concepts and techniques presented in this workshop apply to both analog and digital drawing methods.

Question 9

Do I need an iPad or any fancy lettering equipment?

Accepted Answer

No. You just need a computer or other electronic device, a reliable internet connection, and the Zoom app to join the online meeting. You're welcome to use your tablet, or pencil and paper, to draw along with me. Check out the materials list in the workshop description for details.

Question 10

Will you give software instruction on how to use the Procreate app?

Accepted Answer

No detailed software instruction on how to use the Procreate app will be given. Instead, this workshop will focus on the foundational concepts behind the creation of successful letterforms, and the essential drawing techniques necessary to make them.

Question 11

Will I learn how to vectorize script lettering in this workshop?

Accepted Answer

This workshop concentrates on hands-on drawing techniques, so no vectorizing instruction will be given.

Question 12

How much instruction is given via slide presentations vs. hands-on drawing demonstrations?

Accepted Answer

Great question! With the help of detailed illustrated presentations, we'll spend  approximately a quarter to a third of our time together learning the concepts introduced in the workshop so that you're prepared to apply them effectively when we begin drawing.
