Variations of this back-and-forth have gone on for 5 weeks now. @udemy still can’t tell me how a calligraphy or lettering class can be marketed on their platform when they forbid even a single letter from appearing in the course graphics, including hand-drawn letters.

[Molly Suber Thorpe @MollyDST]

So I really can’t teach my lettering classes on @udemy because “no text is allowed in the course images…letters are still text.” I’ve been rejected 5+ times for images that show accurate previews of the course outcomes. I’m giving up after weeks of non answers from their reps.

[Molly Suber Thorpe @MollyDST]

Me: I don’t have ‘text’ in my preview graphics, only random, hand-drawn letters that are part of the class project.

@udemy: Our research shows that course graphics with text do not perform as well. Please remove all text from your course graphics before resubmitting your course.

I have a new video tutorial about backhand calligraphy – a fun style that utilizes slant lines that are literally backwards, so the italic leans to the left rather than the right. For the demo, I used an excerpt from “The Hill We Climb” by #amandagorman.

Happy almost-Halloween! It doesn’t feel very festive here in Greece, but I’m channeling pumpkins and caramel here in my studio.
