Procreate Tutorial: Rainbow Radial Lettering

When I shared the below photo of the DIY Personalized Gift Tags I made for my nieces on my iPad, I had a lot of requests for a tutorial on how to do this Rainbow Radial Lettering in Procreate.

It’s much easier than it may look, so I put together a video lesson for you that’s about 10 minutes long. After the video, I’ll share some tips for moving your artwork from iPad to print!

What You’ll Need for the Procreate Lesson

iPad + Apple Pencil. I work on an iPad Pro 12.9″.
Procreate App
Various Procreate Brushes and Stamps. I used the DND Basic Brush, DND Monoline Brushes, and DND Heart Stamps from my Procreate Brush Bundles (which are currently on sale in my shop)!

Printing Tips

I showed you how to set-up a print-friendly Procreate canvas and how to export a JPEG in the video. To make the gift tags, I just opened up each JPEG in Adobe Illustrator and sized it to about 4″x4″ to make the gift tag. You can do the same thing in any program you like; even Microsoft Word will work for this!

Because we set up our Procreate canvas to be 2000×2000 pixels and 300DPI, you shouldn’t experience any fuzziness or loss of quality when sizing it down to gift tags. Sizing up is what causes things to get all pixelated and wonky.

Paper: Since I planned to mount mine on colored cardstock, I just printed the tags on HP Premium32. It’s what is usually in my printer because it’s brush pen friendly. If you don’t plan to mount yours on colored cardstock, I’d use a white cardstock to print your cards/tags on.
Printer: I have an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw and I love it. I purchased it at Costco. Prior to this, I had an Epson Workforce 7610 InkJet.
RGB vs. CMYK: In simple terms, CMYK is for print and RGB is for displays (like computers/iPads). With home printers, RGB usually works just fine but if you have access to Photoshop or Illustrator, you can use the CMYK profile to print and get a better color match.
