3D Yes

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a glowing, 3D-looking “YES” text effect by combining Procreate and Adobe Fresco. The process begins with designing a simple shape in Procreate, then moving into Adobe Fresco to refine the text and add detailed shadows and highlights. Finally, you’ll return to Procreate to enhance the piece with additional effects like bloom and Gaussian blur, giving the text a polished, floating appearance.
