How to develop your own lettering style️
Having your own lettering style is a process that doesn't happen in a click, it's a learning curve & takes some time
Today I'm sharing with you some ideas & tips that you can implement to style up your lettering
So, basically you can change the following:
Width: letters may vary from wide to narrow
Shape: letters can be oval or angular
Angle: letter can be written upright or slanted (any angle)
Ascender/descender shape: can be straight or loopy
Space: letters can go as closed or spaced as you like
Connection: you can leave letters separated or connect them
Baseline: you can go regular or bouncy on the baseline
Design: you can design your letters to be as simple or as flourished as you like
Type: you can stick to lower case letters or mix it up with some uppercase letters
You can also,
Change the letter style itself and either choose a favorite or mix up different styles of each letter
I chose "s" because it holds lots of styles
Some other letters that imply much variations include: r, f, t (cross bar) beside ascenders & descenders as well
A mix & match from the above options will produce different lettering styles. You may have experiment to find the style you desire
One thing you need to keep in mind whatever style you develop is LEGIBILITY!!! Because there's no point in having a beautiful lettering but others are struggling to read, right! ♀️
On a side note,
Not all these apply if you're doing calligraphy like copperplate, spencerian etc ... Because calligraphy is less flexible and implies strict rules like a specific slant, same interspace, oval letters etc... You can add flourishes, you can change the width of a letter but keep it consistent through your piece! But for sure, you can't bounce or separate your letter!
So, what are your lettering style preferences? Comment below
Did you use lettering worksheets when you started lettering? I didn’t. And that is why it took me forever to get the hang of brush lettering. I didn’t know there was an easier way to “master” the strokes and have my letters lookin good. ⠀
.⠀
But fear not. I have since learned and now I’m here to teach you. Grab any of my worksheets from my Etsy shop. Or freebies from my website and start your lettering journey today!⠀

Cómo aplicar sombras es una pregunta bastante frecuente. ¡Pero bastante! En uno de mis talleres, mientras explicaba lo del típico solecito @lettering_stationery me platicó este truco de usar papel traslúcido para ver mejor dónde quedan las sombras y me pareció excelente y hasta ahora lo comparto.
✍ Mi capa superior es la letra a la cual le quiero aplicar la sombra y la capa inferior es la sombra. Siempre deben de quedar del lado contrario la fuente de luz y la sombra. Si el sol está a la izquierda.: la sombra a la derecha ☀️ ➡️. La confusión está cuando el sol está más en diagonal. Si el sol está en una esquina superior derecha:. La sombra está del lado inferior izquierdo ↙️☀️

Se você tá vendo essa foto comente o nome da última comida que você comeu hahahahah E esse é o meu planejamento de julho, decidi seguir uma temática minimalista e praticamente só usei caneta preta! PROMETO que durante a semana vou postar as outras páginas para vocês verem mas quem tiver ansioso já pode ir lá no canal que tem vídeo mostrando como fiz tudo.
¿Cuáles son las diferencias que ves entre las dos letras? ✍ Video en tiempo real. Quienes ya han asistido a alguno de mis talleres seguro pueden nombrar por lo menos dos ajustes entre la primera d y la segunda. (Espero)
No les voy a decir yo, porque quiero que observen ya que me parece más enriquecedor que ustedes lo hagan. ¡Lindo miércoles autodidacta!

Last week I met and spoke with some amazing lettering artists from all around the world! From Russia to even LA. It was pretty stinking amazing! I’m so glad I did the office hours. I was able to share what I’ve learned in this business and even learn something from these other artists. .
.
I think the biggest challenge I saw was that it’s a struggle to be an entrepreneur but also a lettering artist. It’s a tough business! Instagram just shows the highlights of the business and not the lows. So although my Instagram is pretty there’s a lot of ugly stuff going on in the background. A lot of worries, fears, late nights etc. But you better believe I like a challenge and I won’t stop going after my dreams! ✨ my parents taught me we could achieve anything we wanted and so here I am. Going after it. So to all of you struggling in this business... just keep going! I always say if you have big dreams the road will be more tough. So don’t feel down that you haven’t reached your goals. You just have bigger goals that take a little bit more work
