About this course

Modern brush lettering is drawing letters, not handwriting them, so this course rebuilds your letters from skeleton structure and stroke mechanics rather than muscle habit. You will work through eight foundational strokes, a connected lowercase and uppercase alphabet, flourishing and layout systems, and a clean Procreate-to-vector workflow. Every lesson ends with deliberate drills so the skill sticks in your hands, not just your notes.
