Do you struggle making lettering compositions in Procreate? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! It’s a common challenge, and an art in itself. It’s tricky to get the individual words to interact and feel well balanced. But luckily, Procreate is one of the most efficient tools for the job. Even if you don’t intend the final result to be digital, it can speed up your workflow allowing you to plan the layout, edit and refine the piece as you go.
