A course by Grace Frösén
Grace Frösén is a self-taught hand-lettering and doodle artist from the Philippines. Growing up, she was always fascinated by letters, typography, and cartoons, but it wasn’t until years later she realized it was a career option. After moving to Finland and beginning her search for a corporate job, she turned to her love for art as a hobby to fill her spare time. From there, she spent time honing her craft through reading and observing others online and eventually started to post her own designs on Instagram in 2016.
Since then, she’s developed an audience of over 260K followers on Instagram, sold her work internationally, and collaborated with clients including Chameleon Art Products, Zoot, UN World Food Programme, and Huawei Mobile.

Ce cours est vraiment facile, ludique à suivre, et très complet (en bonus : comment partager sur Instagram, les sites pour vendre, créer une enveloppe...). J'ai appris de nouvelles choses sur la théorie des couleurs (complémentaires adjacentes...). Le + : les feuilles d'exercice, un must.
Cela m'a rappelé que j'adorais la calligraphie et le décor des enveloppes quand j'étais lycéenne ;)
Grace est calme et posée, ce qui est très appréciable, un vrai moment de détente. Addictif!

Ideal für Anfänger, leichte Anleitungen für die ersten Schritte, ohne sich überfordet zu fühlen, wenn die eigene Kreativität noch auf sich warten lässt. DIe Doodles sind eine perfekte Ergänzung zum Lettering. Ausserdem erfordert es nicht viel teures Material, man kann gleich loslegen mit dem, was man daheim hat.
