Safe to say, I’ll probably be using it a lot moving forward. The lessons were super informative and clear, loved that it was super easy to understand too!
Everything was also made less scary and intimidating (something I’ve always felt when I opened Procreate haha), but now I’m just excited to try things out!
So thank you Tamer for such a wonderful class!

My experience under the guise of Tamer was so enjoyable.
Tamer is kind and generous with his time and talents. He is more than a Utube superstar as he makes your experience a personal relationship with art.
I have been following Tamer for quite some time so when I signed up I didn't think I would learn much in a 2 hour workshop bc I had been collecting Tamer's brushes and templates and Utube videos all along. I was mistaken.
He is a great instructor and I feel I have a new friend.
Thank you so much Tamer!
May all your efforts be rewarded!

When I learned Blackletter Calligraphy we had to use a pencil to make our own grids and spacing calculations before even touching a pen with ink onto the paper.
Tamer is a lettering wizard (in my opinion) by making the Procreate Blackletter Builder workshop available to all of us.
He literally takes ALL the guess-work out of planning the letter/word/piece making it really FUN and EASY!
I am really really loving it!

Who's the instructor?
If we haven’t met before – hi, I’m Tamer 👋

Ever since I was a kid, my heart’s belonged to the world of art and creativity – enchanted by the hum of lightsabers, the voyages of enterprising starships, and the heroic deeds of superheroes.
From drawing to photography, music to fountain pens, I’ve had quite a creative journey – but when I found calligraphy, I knew I’d discovered something special.
I’ve been honored to have my work shown in exhibitions, galleries, and published internationally, but I found real magic in teaching and sharing the joy of calligraphy with thousands of enthusiastic creatives across the world.

FAQ
Do I need the most expensive iPad to use Procreate?
Absolutely not! One of the great things about Procreate is that it works with a variety of iPad models. I had an earlier version of Procreate that ran on the very first iPad ever release (waaay back in 2010).
Here’s the compatibility list, directly from the makers of Procreate.
I don't have an iPad, which one should I get?
There are so many iPad models available now that it can be pretty hard to understand the differences and which one to buy. To help, I wrote a detailed article explaining the differences with suggestions on recommended models.
You can find the article here: Which iPad is Best for Procreate?
How do I know which particular iPad model I own?
There are so many iPad models that have been released over the years that it can be pretty hard to figure out which one you have to check against the Procreate compatibility list (see the last FAQ question above).
Here’s how to check which model of iPad you have directly from Apple: Identify Your iPad Model
Do I need a lot of supplies?
Not at all – in order to follow along, you will need any iPad, the app Procreate from the Apple App Store, and ideally an Apple Pencil. Technically, you can even draw and write with just your fingers (I’ve done this before!), but an Apple Pencil will make your experience much better and more natural.
Do I need amazing handwriting to learn calligraphy?
Nope – and this new Procreate Blackletter Builder toolkit makes it easier than ever to create beautiful gothic calligraphy art. Anyone can learn to write beautifully. 😃
There are four versions of the Apple Pencil, will any of them work with my iPad?
Unfortunately, no. Each version of the pencil – is compatible with specific iPad models, and it can be pretty confusing. To figure out which one is compatible with your iPad:
Step 1: Check which model of iPad you have – here’s an article from Apple: Identify Your iPad Model
Step 2: Check which Apple Pencil is compatible with your iPad model: Apple Pencil Compatibility
