Draw Your Happy: Hand Lettering Made Fun

Create a hand-lettered quote that you’re proud to show off!

Hand lettering looks tricky, but it's way more fun than you'd think!

Most people think it means strict rules, fancy calligraphy, and years of practice. It doesn't. In this class I'll show you how to turn your own handwriting (messy is welcome!) into a fun piece of art.

You'll pick a quote that means something to you, letter it in a style that's all yours, then surround it with drawings of the things that make you happy. By the end, you'll have a finished piece you can print, share, or add to your portfolio.

I'd recommend following along in Procreate, but you’re welcome to follow along any other way you feel comfortable. I’ve even included a Procreate Beginners guide in case you’re brand new.

Ready to draw something that puts a smile on your face? Let's jump in!

Turn Your Handwriting Into Fun, Quirky Art

Forget rules to memorise and fussy calligraphy.

This class is all about embracing the handwriting you've already got, messy bits and all, and turning it into something quirky and full of personality. Your wonky letters aren’t a flaw, they’re part of the charm that makes your art unique!

I feel like I've created something worth sharing on social media! Prior to this course I really struggled to find one I could learn from. I'd give up within minutes and end up frustrated and upset. This class has exceeded my expectations: I actually ended up with a piece of work I'm proud of, and I'm excited to keep practising. I'll even retake the whole class because I know I'll learn from it the second time round.

A Feel-Good Drawing Course

This course is about so much more than the technical side of lettering (though you'll learn that too!)

It's about having fun, expressing yourself, and making something that's totally you. You'll create fun illustrations that spread joy and happiness, and leave you feeling inspired and positive.

I had a lot of fun! I love that it's not the typical class that starts with boring historical lettering styles. I really liked the first module of warmups, especially the exercise of drawing shapes over words to evoke their feeling, and exploring different lettering styles. The classes are the kind you can return to many times to keep practising and progressing, and I loved how you guide the final project step by step.

Still Have Questions?

We've Got Answers!

To get the most out of this class, we'd recommend following along on an iPad using the Procreate app (the two tools we use and recommend most for digital illustration).

You don't have to, though. If you prefer a different drawing app, or even pen and paper, you can follow along that way. Most of the class is about hand lettering and turning a quote into art, so you can apply what you learn with whatever you've got.
