If you’re ready to get started, we’re ready to support you.

And to teach you everything we know! 🌈

As twin sisters who have been practicing calligraphy since age 11, we've developed a logical, analytical teaching style that makes learning calligraphy accessible to everyone – even if you don't consider yourself creative.

We've taught tens of thousands of students just like you from 149 countries around the world, and we know exactly what it takes to transform a complete beginner into a confident lettering artist who creates beautiful calligraphy.

As calligraphy artists, Procreate has changed the way we teach 🦄

We love the tactile feel of brush on paper, but traditional calligraphy requires expensive supplies and countless practice sheets. Digital calligraphy offers a perfect solution for beginners.

There had to be a better way to learn!

Digital_Carftmanship

No equipment needed

With just your iPad and Apple Pencil, you can practice calligraphy during lunch breaks, while traveling, or relaxing at home. No need to set up and clean up ink, nibs, or brushes. Your calligraphy studio fits in your bag!

Build muscle memory faster

Our color-changing brush gives you instant feedback on your pressure and stroke quality. This helps you develop proper technique and build valuable muscle memory much faster than traditional practice methods.

From practice to projects

Once you've mastered the alphabet, you can immediately turn your calligraphy into beautiful digital art, custom stickers, greeting cards, and more. No scanning or editing required - create and share in minutes!

Draw MUCH faster, more detailed … and affordable! 🖋️

A basic set of brushes, watercolors, and paper can easily cost you $250 or more. Add a scanner and computer, and you're in for a four-figure investment. Plus, you need a cramped studio corner to house it all ... And suddenly, you've spent well over $1000 before your brush even hits the canvas.

In addition, when you do your paintings and illustrations by hand, you have to have a dedicated working space large enough to take up half of an average room. However, with Procreate, all you need is your iPad and an Apple Pencil.

Your ultimate guide to learning calligraphy 🎨

It doesn't matter if you're a complete beginner with zero experience in drawing, or a seasoned illustrator. After this course you'll be creating beautiful, consistent letterforms with confidence and navigating Procreate settings with ease. You'll follow a proven, step-by-step system that guarantees progress.


Imagine feeling proud of your work and excited to share it with others. You'll be turning your calligraphy into gifts, stickers, cards, and more—transforming your creative skills into tangible creations that you can share and enjoy.

What sets a digital artist apart is understanding art theory and using their tools to make great art without any guidance.

 

To achieve that, we will deep-dive into details like which brushes to use and when, you’ll master various painting techniques, understand the principles of shading and light, and get to know the Procreate app inside out.

 

With almost 27 hours of in-depth video content, this Masterclass is on average 5 TIMES longer than most of the other courses. You will:

Learn how to set-up your digital workspace

Learn how to use the main tools and features Procreate offers

Learn how to select appropriate brushes that suit your drawing and your style

Learn how to bring the visions in your head onto your Procreate canvas

Practice the stroke pressure and improve your drawing technique

Still considering other options? 🤔

That’s ok. There are lots of ways you can learn to create art.


Price 💸 Convenience 👌 Time Investment ⏰ Guarantee 🔒
Youtube Free!
(Usually… You just have to watch the ads they show you.)

Ready when you are, but no clear curriculum to follow. Unlimited. There are so many different people to follow and videos to watch - you could spend the rest of your life watching videos and still not know what to do next. None.
Art School $$$$$
Anywhere from $15,000 to $60,000+ every YEAR.
Somewhat convenient.
All of your classes will be on one campus… You just have to drive there and attend class… every day.
2 to 8 years, depending upon your degree program and chosen path. None.
Local Art Classes from $ to $$$
Somewhat convenient.
Classes will be in your local area, but there’s no promise that you’ll be able to find classes or instructors that fit your artistic goals.
Unknown. Depends on what classes are available and if you can fit them into your schedule. None.
Skillshare It’s hard to find this information on their website, but Skillshare is $36 a month - every month. Convenient. Courses are available on demand… but you do have to figure out your own curriculum and which teachers are best for your needs. Unlimited. Just like with YouTube, there are so many different offerings - you’re likely to spend hours upon hours trying to find the right options for you. “Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.”
Trial & Error The sky’s the limit! Depending on how much you want to spend on supplies, you could save a little… or you might end up spending an absolute fortune.
Somewhat convenient. It’s all at your own pace - but there’s also no outside help provided. Unlimited. Just like with YouTube, there are so many different offerings - you’re likely to spend hours upon hours trying to find the right options for you. None.

More than 40.000 students enrolled to our course and we hope you'll join us too.
