CO-TAUGHT BY KARIN NEWPORT AND AMANDA ARNEILL
Procreate 5 is the hugest overhaul that the Procreate app has seen to date.
This update includes the ability to easily create your own IG stickers, GIFs, animated lettering and animated images. The brush creator has more than doubled its functionality which means that it is easy to create any custom brush you would like. The ability to maximize your creative time and output with Procreate 5’s updates is a game changer.
But adding all of these new functions mean having to learn how to use them all! This online course will help you avoid wasting a single moment of your precious creative time trying to figure it out with hours and hours of trial and error. And you’ll want to figure this new version of Procreate out because it’s going to change how you work on your iPad!
Karin Newport of @ipadlettering has had access to the Procreate Beta since its very first day out of the gate. That, combined with over 4 years of daily iPad creations, over 1000 iPad brushes made, and being a coder herself, makes her the perfect person to teach you and me how to master the full potential of Procreate 5.

ADVANCED COURSES
Lettering Outside the Lines
Taught by Stefan Kunz
If telling you that the amazing Stefan Kunz is the one teaching this isn't the enough to get you signing up right away, then you obviously haven't seen the lettering he does. So stop reading right now and check out his Instagram account @stefankunz.
Now you're back and you know how amazing he is. And he's here to share his alphabets with you. How to create them, how to pair them and how to combine them to make a solid stunning piece that's a serious show-stopper.
This is your course if you can brush-letter up a storm but want more. Stefan will take you past brush lettering into the more linear styles of lettering that makes his work stand out from anyone else's. You'll learn so many styles that you'll be laughing.
Beyond Basics and Black

I constantly get asked how I letter on different items so that they last, look the way that the do, don't bleed and allow me to create pieces that allow me to escape from the paper jail. Learn all of my tricks and techniques for window lettering, writing on canvas and chalk art to take you beyond chalk basics to chalkboards you can ship without worry and digital manipulation of your chalk art on the iPad.
This course will open so many possibilities for you and will have your brain buzzing with all of the lettering you will be able to do! Toss that black pen and paper aside and let's get limitless!
BUSINESS COURSES
Turn Your Hobby into a Jobby
Your skills are there, your desire is there, but there is a huge chasm between you and actually having a business. And that chasm is full of shark filled water. Does that sound familiar? It did to me too.
I sucked it up and launched my business anyway...oh, and it was a huge flop.
But I learned from those mistakes, put myself through business bootcamp and launched my hand lettering business. This one has allowed me to give my family extra spending money and step away from a job that had my kids in daycare and crammed for hours in the car commuting every day.
Let's take the fear out of that chasm for you. With this course, we will build you a sturdy bridge that covers everything from logos, websites, marketing, social media, email lists, shipping, product creation, pricing, and so much more (customers, business planning - not the boring kind, product photography, niche marketing and more again).
Rather than overwhelming you with a bunch of information in theory, we will work through a set process to have you ready with all of the decisions, photos, products, short term and long term plans that you will need and a community set to support you.
Forget fear. This is happening. Sharks beware, you're on your way!
SOCIAL MEDIA COURSES
Mastering Social Media
CO-TAUGHT BY STEFAN KUNZ & AMANDA ARNEILL
In the Mastering Social Media online course, the social media master himself, Stefan Kunz (@stefankunz) decodes the social media world for artists. Join me and Stefan as we discuss our social media journeys and what we have learned from them – so you don’t have to make the same mistakes. You will also learn the tops “dos” and "don’ts” of social media for creatives, the skills you need to outsmart any algorithm, and how to build an audience of substance with meaningful engagement. You’ll be introduced to the many ways that you can make money through your social media account and also the best way to approach and (successfully) solicit those opportunities. After this course you will know how to stand out among all the other accounts and grow your account to reach your full social media potential. Stop selling yourself short and learn the art of social media!
