I wanted to change things up a little this week and go super down to basics. The truth is, when it comes to learning, a lot of the times, I’m most inspired by just *watching* the thing happen. Seeing it take place, someone else’s process without all the nitty gritty little details along the way – just the ‘have-to-knows’ first. Maybe you’re like that too. On the chance you are when it comes to lettering, this week I want to go super simple and just share how I would do a basic lettered quote/phrase on the iPad – what I think about as I’m writing, what I’m paying attention to, and what I do to change course when maybe things aren’t going exactly how I like them. If this is something you’d like to see more of, let me know! I want to provide all I can on clearing up anything that might be holding you back 🙂 Full process below – and if you want to go further after this, my Intro to iPad Lettering course is located here. Let’s go!

Great video! One question, are you able to rest your hand on your iPad pro when doodling/hand lettering? I’ve had limited experience using a wacom and found getting used to the gestures and not resting my head very hard.
Also, you mentioned in the video that there are other stylus/pens for older version of the iPad. Do you have any recommendations for an older iPad?
Thanks!

Yes! It’s pretty amazing how it can tell the stylus apart from my hand – it’ll pick it up every now and then, but hardly ever enough to be annoying. To my knowledge, the iPad Pro is the only version that’ll give you pressure sensitivity, but I’ve heard the pencil by 53 works well for older versions of the iPad (I can’t speak from my own experience on that though)
