Shakespeare Sonnets Cursive Handwriting Procreate Kit

$12.00

Improve your cursive handwriting on the iPad with this digital Procreate workbook. Trace and copy ten of William Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets right in Procreate—and practice the whole cursive alphabet, too.

How it works: Each of these celebrated poems is composed of 14 lines—the perfect length for full-page handwriting practice. Trace each line, then write it again freehand in the blank guidelines underneath. Tracing can improve your hand lettering skills more quickly than freehand practice alone. (Plus, it’s so relaxing.) This method teaches:

  • letter shapes and stroke order,

  • natural letter connections,

  • confident, consistent handwriting.

How to use a Procreate workbook: A Procreate workbook is like a digital stack of traceable pages. Each “page” is a layer in the file. Just turn off a layer’s visibility to move to the next one. I’ve handled the set-up so that you can simply open any of the exercise files and start writing. (If this is all new to you, there’s an instructional guide included—and you can always contact me with questions.)

Use any Procreate brush you like. Those with a relatively monoline stroke—where the thickness won’t change much if you exert more or less pressure—will give you the most realistic pen-on-paper feel.

What’s included:

  • 10 traceable sonnet exercise files (.procreate)

  • 1 cursive alphabet practice file (.procreate)

  • 1 introduction file (.procreate)

  • Beginner-friendly installation and usage instructions (.PDF)

Prefer paper? This is the digital edition of my analog workbook. You can get the print edition here.
