nice video, super useful!!! you really did explain thoroughly and very clear instruction!! love it and can't wait to see more!!! hmm, next video, what about vintage letters? I was trying to make block letters but the shape is never right~

[@letteringdaily]

[@letteringdaily]

Wow, thank you! Means a lot :)

[@ameliapaperheart3162]

Great job explaining how to achieve this effect! Soooooooo much easier than trying to do this in Photoshop.

[@letteringdaily]

Thank you, Amelia! Yes, Procreate is definitely much easier and more intuitive than Photoshop. I mean PS is more complex but at the same time, I believe you can achieve more than with Procreate. It's good we have both options so we can combine the usage depending on our needs :D

[@Tsuyu87]

[@rinasweetness]

This is such a great tutorial, thank you so much! For the cables, what brush did you use? And did you make a new layer when you created it?

[@letteringdaily]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Serina! I really appreciate it :) I used the same brush for all the other elements, I just reduced the size of it. Yes, I did create a new layer for each separate element. I highly recommend doing that (always) since it's much easier when you need to edit stuff, delete, move, etc.

Hmmm aren't there any installation instructions? I usually import all my brushes via USB and iTunes.

[@maribelgomez7801]

This is the first video Ive come across when it comes to lettering. You explained it so well that I'm now a new follower, I just got a Ipad pro and have procreate now, what do you recommend for beginners..

[@letteringdaily]

Thank you so much for the kind words :) I recommend finding a style or technique you particularly enjoy, and focus on that.

[@mikhailawashburn1795]

How do you get different packs in procreate? By the way, your stuff is amazing

[@letteringdaily]

Thank you! :) Are you asking about how to import them into Procreate or?

[@LiLKel4]

How big is your soft brush for the vignette? I love that you have a written up tutorial too. This is really cool.

[@letteringdaily]

Hey! Good question! That really depends on the size of your canvas. However, it should be big enough to nearly reach both the top and bottom of the canvas. That's at least how I would do it. You can still do it with a smaller one, I just find it easier to do it with a larger sized brush :)

[@LiLKel4]

Lettering Daily thanks! That’s really helpful. I just imported the brick image so that was my canvas size but my vignette didn’t have that soft look to it.

[@letteringdaily]

@@LiLKel4 If it's too harsh, you can also try to lower the opacity of the brush - it's the bar right under the size bar. Let me know if you still need help with it, you can also shoot me an email or Instagram DM. Peace!

[@Bonjourscarlett]

you can also just drag the image to the color palette section in procreate and it will create a color palette out of it

[@letteringdaily]

Great idea! Haven't thought about that :)

[@juvonneallen5910]

Could you make an animation step by step video. With words and make it have some cool effects

[@letteringdaily]

Oh hells yeass! That's a great suggestion. It's already on the list :)

[@Mr.J_aust]

Nice video.. How do you create grid while writing?? need to purchase from you?

[@letteringdaily]

Check description, I linked to the product that I used in the video.

[@perretti]

Trying figure out how to get the assistant guide so the lines are smooth, none of these tutorials show how

[@letteringdaily]

For the lettering or for something else? Let me know, I'll be happy to help!

[@coacollective691]

Do you think the air4 64g is more than suficient to lettering in procreate?

[@letteringdaily]

I think so yes but honestly i think it's better to save up a bit more and get the pro right away. I really do think it's worth it.

[@azulisima7823]

Where do you download your brushes?

[@letteringdaily]

Check the link in the description :)

[@yasminfernandes2856]

Coloca legenda em português por favor! 😭😭😭

[@letteringdaily]

Sorry im not really sure how to do that. I think KZbin should place subs automatically.

[@jonathanpope2484]

I am so confused. How do you get the grid to go away once you have finished writing the letters?

[@letteringdaily]

Hey Jonathan, the grid you see me using in the video is actually a brush from the brush pack called "Grid Builder". I placed it on a separate layer (under the lettering), and then once I was done I simply deleted the lettering. Thank you for the feedback tho, in the next video, I'll try to be more specific about these details. If you are interested in the Grid Builder, check out my article on it - www.lettering-daily.com/lettering-layouts/ If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

[@jonathanpope2484]

Thank you!!

[@vb7913]

I am not clear on how you created the letters. Did you draw them by hand ? Did you use some font ?

[@letteringdaily]

No fonts, I create everything by hand :)

[@physiotherapyinsider6468]

I love it but make it a little bit slow for beginners like me. Hehe! 👍❤️👍❤️

How to download the brick wall pls tell me
