Well… We were told that our questions could, and likely would, morph as we dove deeper into our Free Inquiry project. I’m not here to say that I am changing my topic because it was too hard, but rather, because my guided inquiry needed a little more guidance.
So I am here to announce that I have switched from the broad world of “Typography” to focus in on “Watercolour Lettering in Procreate (iPad)”. I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated to start on this project because I just didn’t know where to begin. I have expressed interest in learning brush calligraphy, and started by downloading some drill sheets to practice on my iPad. Well, this has been a lot of fun, and great practice! So great, that I’ve distracted myself during a number of lecture over the last two weeks. Oops.
When I searched Pinterest for free templates, I came across an artist by the name of Kelly Sugar Crafts – anybody by the name of Kelly must be worth listening too, right? I decided to stop searching and see what free goodies Kelly had to offer me!
I know I have a long way to come. Would you believe me if I told you I never learned cursive in school? I think that is part of what inspired this project – I have always found loopy letters to be so captivating, but I could never get the curves to flow out of my hand.
I will continue to practice, and document my journey. I will soon be starting a course that will guide me through water colour techniques to bring my brush letters to life!
