What You Will Learn?

  • Combine hand lettering and illustration into a gorgeous card for everyone you appreciate!.
  • Illustrator Gia Graham has had a lot of experience creating greeting cards professionally—and she also knows there’s nothing better than gratitude. So, in this 45-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she’ll combine the two and show you all the steps to creating your own custom thank you card..
  • To start, she’ll teach you the drawing technique she uses to create illustrated leaves and other decorative elements to use on her cards. Then, she’ll walk you through deciding on the layout of your card and starting to sketch. Finally, she’ll share how to color everything and print it off into a final card! Along the way, students who participated in the live session were able to ask questions, giving you even more insight into Gia’s process..
  • Great for beginners who are just getting started on their illustration journey, or experienced artists who just want an inspiring new project, you’ll finish class with a beautiful card ready to put in the mail. While Gia will be working digitally on Procreate on the iPad, you’re welcome to follow along with analog materials as well. .
