How to Curve Text in Procreate
There is no specific tool in Procreate where you can curve text, but there is an easy way to create the effect of curved text manually. This will involve a combination of unique steps, but these are simple to learn. For those who like to learn how to do this visually, see the video tutorial below.
The first step is to add and enter the text you want to curve.
Once you finish adding your text, go to your Layer Options menu and select the text layer. Click Rasterize. Rasterizing a layer in Procreate converts the text into pixels so you can now manipulate and add effects to the text layer.
Next, go to select the Adjustments icon and select Liquify. This will be the tool that will allow you to create the effect of curvy text.
The Liquify panel will appear. Adjust the brush size as necessary based on how round you want the text to curve.
Gently bring your pencil under or below the text and watch how the text curves. This might take a few tries to get the desired effect you want.
Done! Curving text will take some experimenting at first, but once you play with the settings and the Liquify tool more, it will soon become second nature. A curvy text can be an effective way to make your drawing, especially calligraphy art, pop!

I hope this tutorial was helpful in learning more about foundational tools in Procreate. Once you get the hang of foundational tools, you can then learn about advanced tools. All of this would be important to the growth of you becoming a more well-rounded and confident digital artist. You will also learn how to use and leverage these tools effectively and, in turn, draw art that fits your creativity, personality, and style.
