HowDoYouDoThatShading? Lettering artist and graphic designer Ricardo Gonzalez will teach you the tricks of his famous one-liners, mixing digital with physical to create depth and detail in a monoline wordmark. Combining graffiti markers with classic calligraphy techniques, this 70-minute class walks you through Ricardo’s creative process — from warm-up exercises, to sketching and inking, to photographing and Photoshopping the finished product. Perfect for designers, illustrators, and type enthusiasts alike, this class needs no prior knowledge in calligraphy to get started. Beginners welcome! By the end, you’ll be able to share a monoline design of your own, and show off your hometown pride.

In this course, I and my fellow instructors help you bring form to your drawings. Rendering, whether it's shading, inking, or coloring, gives shade and three dimensionality to your drawings. Without it, everything will seem 2D. Flat.
