As a continuation to my Brush Lettering Alphabet series, in this video, we will learn how to letter lowercase b using brush lettering.
In this video, I’m using the Tombow Fudenosuke hard pen. It’s one of my favorite pens. The worksheet I am using in this video is from my Brush Strokes Workbook.
“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.” – James Joyce
So don’t be afraid to make mistakes as you learn the lowercase “b” in brush lettering with me.
Tips for Brush Lettering
-
- Focus on breathing and going slow. The slower you go, the better you will be able to focus on the transition between the thick and thin strokes of your letter.
-
- One of the differences between calligraphy and handwriting is that in calligraphy you pick up your pen between each stroke.
-
- Don’t worry about getting it perfect. You will see progress when you practice consistently even if for just a few minutes per day.
-
- There’s no right or wrong when using modern calligraphy and brush lettering. You have the freedom to create your own style.
