Description

Digital tips and tricks for drawing capital letters

Much character! You will begin by knowing better the work of Marta Cerdà, who focuses her work between the borders of lettering, typography and illustration, and also some books that may be of help.

Without going through the pencil and paper, you will learn to prepare a document correctly so you can start drawing a letter directly from the vector. You will know in depth the pen tool and all its possibilities, and how to play with it, combining it with geometric shapes. Then, using the scissors, you will discover the modules that will simplify the process and create more letters.

Then, with the base learned, you will review the entire alphabet and different styles, from the most geometric to the script. And finally, once you have learned how to draw a good skeleton, you will focus on the skin: the effects.
