Then we'll then begin sketching out our glyphs in Photoshop. Once we're happy with our sketches, we'll begin the transition to vector by using Illustrator. We'll use the Pen tool to plot out the shapes of our glyphs and prepare them for a font editor. We'll then get the feel for how FontForge works by importing our vector glyphs and making adjustments. Once we are happy with the glyphs we create, we'll learn what we need to do in FontForge to export as an OpenType font.

We can do a lot with these amazing iPads, especially when we make use of the numerous tools we have out there to help us. Procreate, as of now (just before Procreate 5 comes out) is an absolutely amazing tool and I rarely use anything else. However, when shifting designs into place for seamless repeat patterns within this app, there is a little bit of guesswork involved and it is difficult to get a pixel-perfect design. I learned how to make seamless repeats with a tiny bit of help from an additional app called Pixelmator and now I’m addicted to making perfectly seamless designs for fabric, wallpaper, and gift wrap. Join me in class to learn all of my tricks! Watch the intro video to see what the Pixelmator app looks like since there are two by that name. Download the app (it’s worth every penny!) and lets get started!
