Lettering Mini Course - Get started with Lettering today!

In this Lettering Mini Course I put together some of the basic info and tutorials for lettering beginners to finally get started with lettering.

The mini course consists of 4 modules with video tutorials, summaries, worksheets, cheat sheets and much more:

In module 1 you will learn how to differentiate lettering from other terms, understand classifications of typefaces, and work on your first letters.
In module 2 I introduce you to faux calligraphy and show you how to create this style of lettering, before you will also learn how to write calligraphy using a pencil and a brush pen.
Module 3 is all about easy embellishments - how to create 3-D letters and shadows, or what elements you could use to flourish your letterings.
In module 4 I show you my basic lettering composition process from A-Z with a pencil.

Included are even 3 BONUSES:

  • a worksheet with my popular minuscule serif alphabet style
  • my strange flowers & mysterious plants cheat sheet including usage examples
  • a cheat sheet with basic layout shapes you can use for your letterings and some lettering composition examples; and there’s even another bonus for those of you who like to use their iPad and the app Procreate: you can download a set of layout brushes to use in Procreate.

If you are new to lettering, this mini-course is an excellent starting point for you to dive into the lettering world. It helps you understand some of the basics to begin creating your own letters and letterings.
