My new Skillshare Class

I'm really excited to release my new online class 'The Golden Secrets of Script Lettering' on Skillshare.  Although being an completely independent unit, this class is a good complement for my previous class 'The Golden Secrets of Lettering' and it’s tailored for designers, illustrators, and everyone who wants to improve their set of skills for creating lettering. 

One of the challenges of working with letter design is to come up with shapes that are personal and unique. My classes do not intend to give you models that you could copy, but giving you tools that you could use to boost your creativity at creating letter shapes. Your handwriting is one of those tools: no handwriting resembles another, therefore learning how to improve features on your own written words will help you achieve those personal shapes you’re aiming for.

In this class we will be creating a lettering piece with our name departing from our own handwriting. This assignment will teach you how to make a lot of fundamental design decisions like how to improve defective letter shapes, spacing, proportions and make individual letters more sharp and unique. I’ll also give you some insights for doing flourishes.

We’ll be going together through the entire task, from sketch to digitisation. And I’ll be showing you some of the sketches from commercial commissions and share some tips on how to improve your own creative process.

Watch the trailer and enroll in the class here.

My new Skillshare Class

I'm really excited to release my new online class 'The Golden Secrets of Lettering' on Skillshare.  It's rewarding to be able to share my skills and reach students across the globe where I mostly find hard to go with my workshops.

The concept of this class is based on my Letter Collections  project where I design and send postcards around the globe and will share my making of process with you. Together, we will go through the assignment of creating a piece of lettering for the perfect postcard: from concept, to sketch to digitisation, including tips to add texture and color to your final work.

In this class we will start by training our ‘typographic eye’ by looking at examples of typographic pieces that surround us. I'll show you some theoretical principles to understand the structure of letter shapes and I'll share with you the technique I use to sketch and achieve more extreme, personal and interesting results.

This class is suitable for beginners as well as for those with previous experience who want to go a step forward into the art of lettering and expand their set of creative skills. You'll walk away from this class with a sharper eye when working with typography and essential and practical tools to draw lettering and to guide your own improvement afterwards. After this class, you will see typography in a completely different way.

Watch the trailer and enroll in the class here.

This makes my online classes available in two languages: English (at Skillshare) and Spanish (at Domestika.org). What's next? A class in german language perhaps?
