Hand-Drawn Typography

Description

Hand-drawn lettering gives a design a personal touch that standard fonts do not. These seven PDF lessons start with the tools and materials you need, then explain how letters are constructed.

You then practice several lettering styles, add dimension and creative effects, and complete a first full project. The last lesson shows how to digitalize hand-drawn work. Exercises in several lessons give you lettering to practice as you read. The lessons are practical and written for readers with no lettering background, so each style and technique is explained from the start. Reference tables in the PDFs help you plan letterforms before you draw them.

Who it is for: beginners who want to draw their own letters by hand and bring them into digital design.
