Hand lettering is not very difficult, all you need to do is practice. Start with a little project and then practice it every day in different forms. Colorful and beautifully crafted letters make your art more appealing that makes your journals and art really stand out.
In my quest I have tried several different kinds of lettering. Brush lettering, calligraphy, and whimsical lettering in which I love brush lettering which allows me to play more.
There are very few rules and a lot of color and doodling - this is a super fun and easy-to-learn technique and is perfect for both beginners and advanced artists and crafters. This kind of lettering looks super cool on scrapbook layouts and cards too. If you also love to make your own art journals, decorate your scrapbooks, or cards, lettering is always a must element that adds more fun to your art.
What is Hand Lettering?
Some people think hand lettering is difficult but all you really need is the right marker and paper and some practice. In hand lettering, the letters are formed in a rhythmic fashion, you apply pressure on the downstroke and go lightly on the upstroke. That is all there is to it.
But whimsical lettering is different. There are no hard and fast rules and you can mix and match various different font types together to create something that is truly your own. You can use brush pens, ballpoints, and markers.
Material Required for Hand Lettering
Hand lettering does not demand any costly materials. All you need to have:
Paper
Pencil
Ruler
Brush pen
With just these four things, you are ready to try different hand lettering styles.
