TOOLS YOU NEED TO CREATE GALAXY BRUSH LETTERING

  • iPad Pro – this tutorial will not work on a regular iPad. You must have an iPad Pro.  I have the 12.9″ version. 
  • Procreate App – you can purchase this from the App Store. When I purchased it, it was about $10. I’m not sure if the price has gone up since then.
  • Apple Pencil – you need an Apple Pencil to draw in the Procreate app.

HOW TO CREATE GALAXY BRUSH LETTERING ON IPAD PRO

All the brushes that I am going to use in this tutorial come with the Procreate app. There are many other brushes that you can purchase but for this tutorial, I’m keeping things simple. 

  1. Open up the Procreate App and create a new canvas by clicking on the “+” sign in the upper right corner and choosing the size canvas that you want. For this example, I’m choosing screen size.
  2. When your canvas opens, it will fill the screen. You can use your fingers and”pinch” it to make it smaller so you can see the entire canvas.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
  3. Click on the “Layer” icon in the upper right corner and then click the “+” sign to add a new layer.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
  4. Click on the “Brush” icon and select Airbrushing >  Medium Brush.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
  5. Click on the color selector in the upper right and choose a color. For this tutorial, I’m will be using purple, pink, and blue. You can choose a color from your existing palettes or use the “Disk”, “Classic” or “Value” tools to choose a color.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
  6. Using the Apple Pencil, draw random splotches over your canvas. You can change the opacity and brush size of the pencil with the slider on the side of the screen.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
  7. Repeat this process using several other colors.galaxy brush lettering on ipad pro
