Hi,

so recently I've been getting interested in hand lettering.
"Hand lettering is the art of drawing letters to create an aesthetically interesting design. It's a relatively inexpensive hobby and a beautiful way to express yourself." - (www.sakuraofamerica.com)
I've seen some really cool designs, and I've tried my hand at some of it. I have half a plan of making a scrapbook/handlettering thing, but I really don't know anything about scrapbooking and I certainly aren't a professional and handlettering either. Maybe that will have to wait. smile

Anyway, is anybody else interested in hand lettering?
Where and how did you learn, and can I see some of yours?
And what kind of materials would you recommend?

My first three tries, freehand.
Lots of ink-bleeding and lined paper because I was basically too lazy to get up and get my sketching paper and dip pens, and instead substituted my grocery notepad and a cheap fineliner. xp

I'm thinking that if I get my supplies together and spend a good hour I might be able to pump out something nice! But it's the case of practice makes perfect with this, I think. When did you get interested in hand lettering? smile
