Tips for using Procreate for lettering and sketching type ideas

[arrowtype]

A good question: https://twitter.com/agyeidesign/status/1486308373075214340?s=21

My initial responses:

In Procreate, the most helpful thing I’ve found is to approach drawing mostly like ink (paintbrush) and whiteout (eraser). Use solid brushes that aren’t pressure-sensitive, like a hard airbrush or a modified Nikko Rull.

Mostly use layers for separate words, not letters or parts of letters. Layers are good for versioning, not for moving components around or spacing – those are better done with the lasso and transforms.

Also test / look up:

• "Palm Support" level in iOS Settings > Procreate. I think this was important on a newer iPad? It's disabled on my older iPad.
