HOW TO USE LETTER BUILDER IN PROCREATE

GETTING STARTED

1 Choose 1 of the brush grids from

the 8 styles available.

Draw a continuous line with the

2 amount of letters you require, but
don’t lift your hand off the screen.
Hold down you finger on the screen
to snap the line to the horizontal.
Now you’ll be able to change the
spacing of the letters by increasing /
decreasing the length of the line.

Start constructing your letters. Using

3 a new layer for each letter. Here
you want to get the rough shapes
down before the refining stage.

Turn off the guides and using the

4 direct selection tool , move the
letters so they have an equal space
between each other. You’ll often
have to do this with thin letters like
I, J, T and L and also with letter
combinations like A and V, A and
W, L and T.

Now you can let your creativity run

5 wild, adding your own look and
feel to those basic letter-forms.

DRAWING THE V, W & M

We knew that trying to fit all 26 letters perfectly into

1 grid would bring up some issues and we tried our
hardest to make it as simple as possible to use, but to
get the nicest looking letter-forms there are 3 letters
that need addressing.

There are 2 ways to draw the letters V

V 1. Select and flip the grid vertically

2. Draw the letter A (minus crossbar)
and flip vertically.

To draw the W you need to:

W 1. Place an extra letter grid.

2. Draw 2 separate V letters.
3. Join the 2 V shapes together.

To draw the M you need to:

M 1. Place an extra letter grid.
2. Draw the first vertical stem and
diagonal stem of the letter N.
3. Draw the opposite on the other grid.
4. Join them together.

Info: Some styles the M can be constructed

within 1 grid shape.
