I’ve had a few requests for advanced tutorials, so if you’re up for a challenge, this week’s tutorial is for you! This is one of my favorite depth effects when it comes to lettering; I love how it starts out completely flat and things pop forward more and more as you go - soooo satisfying! You can use this same effect on overlapping shapes or even your favorite font if you don’t want to use lettering - win, win!

TECH STUFF + ACCESSORIES I USE
✨ This artwork was created on a 5th gen iPad Pro (12.9”, 256GB) with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil using the Procreate app (v.5.1.8)
✨ I use the Paperlike screen protector on my iPad Pro, more info here: every-tuesday.com/paperlike
✨ I’m also using the NimbleGrip by Uppercase on my 2nd Gen Apple Pencil: every-tuesday.com/grip
✨ When not in use, I keep my Apple Pencil in the NimbleStand: every-tuesday.com/stand
✨I recommend any iPad listed here for working in Procreate: every-tuesday.com/ipads as they all allow for pressure sensitivity. I only recommend an Apple Pencil because of its reliability compared to other 3rd party styluses
