MIXED SERIF STYLE LETTERING IN PROCREATE⁣
⁣
My 50-minute class will teach you all about Serifs and how I mix them to create some of my signature hand-lettering looks.⁣
⁣
1️⃣ The first 20-minute of the class covers Serif types and tips.⁣
2️⃣ In the following 30-minutes, we will put what you’ve learned to use to create this “Awake(ish)” Mixed Serif Style project together in Procreate.⁣
3️⃣ Even if you don’t use Procreate, you can join us to learn a ton about Serifs.⁣

If I’m not lettering, I’m reading. 📚 I set a goal of reading at least 50 books this year. I’m about to start “The Midnight Library” which will be book 36! 🤓⁣
⁣
This book pun lettering is a little hint of the theme of a year-long lettering challenge I have up my sleeve. ⁣
⁣
But I need your input on two things…⁣
⁣
For those of you that have been around a long while: Do you remember when I used to send my Happy Emails out every Monday instead of just once a month? If you do, then you probably recall when I started doing lettering + doodle challenges back in 2015. ⁣
⁣
For this new lettering challenge, I’d need to go back to a weekly email format. The prompt would come via the email each week along with some freebies. ⁣
⁣
SO MY QUESTIONS ARE….⁣
⁣
1️⃣ YAY or NAY to weekly challenge prompts + happy emails?⁣
⁣
2️⃣ If YAY, do you want the challenge to be a mix of lettering + illustration prompts or lettering only?⁣
⁣
P.S. I’ll share lettering tips, videos, and more during the challenge of course!⁣
⁣
P.P.S. My tagline when I did weekly emails was “The Happy Email Club: Making Mondays Extraordinary” and I’d love to bring a pop of joy back to your inbox every week. However, it’s a lot of work to send content out every week so I wanted to get a little feedback before I finalize my plan, create all the graphics/PDFs, and re-vamp my entire email system!

Any fellow One Tree Hill fans out there? ⁣
⁣
It is one of my all-time favorite shows and I rewatched all nine seasons over the pandemic. ⁣
⁣
I’m not even a little embarrassed to admit that:⁣
1️⃣ All three of my kids have names I picked from OTH characters. 😆⁣
2️⃣ I’m 39 years old and still a major OTH fangirl!⁣
⁣
So when @hilarieburton, @sophiabush, and @joylenz announced the new @dramaqueensoth podcast, I was beyond excited to subscribe, listen in, and re-live the One Tree Hill seasons all over again.⁣
⁣
New episodes come out on Mondays, so it seemed like a good day to post this hand-lettered fan art I’ve been working on!⁣
