Proper tools, but more so proper skills - I'd say your fine motorskills are second to none!👌 The end result looks stunning
Thanks for the great comment mate, glad you like em!
Great video very insightful & just what i was looking for, im just starting my journey into learning sign writing so thank you
Great wotk mate, im just starting my journey with sign writing out of interest how did you get into sign writing? Iv bought a few books & plan on getting some brushes & practicing, but my it does seem very overwhelming to start
I learnt from my dad who's been a signwriter in the uk, now we're over in Canada. The books are a great resource. Try internetarchive.org lots of great books on the subject you can borrow like a library
This is wonderful information! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm just getting into window painting/sign writing and I love it. Thanks for doing these videos; they are so helpful and entertaining!
Cheers! It's fun to do for sure. Good luck on your journey
Nice video . I just have a question. Why didnt you draw the letters directly on the yellow board?
Hiya, I've noticed the poster board does not rub marks off very well. I'm able to make edits on paper and then transfer, even if I use no plotter for drawings I almost always use paper first if I have a chance of ruining the background
Brilliant stuff I've just started to learn guilding are you doing any more videos not seen any for a while hope your well 👍
Hiya, yeah I've been a bit busy and focused on other projects. Looking to get back into the flow soon. But it's difficult to find the time truth be told.
Nice work. I would have made the blue shaddow slightly smaller, but that's just me😁
Thanks mate, I really wanted some more space to try out this form of blend. I see what you mean though
... Amatuer
There is a lot of holidays in your tuition
Basically, no mention that you can dry the leafing stage very carefully with a hair dryer
Try finding a customer nowadays who is going to pay the going rate for this kind of craftsmanship.
I learnt traditional sign writing when I left school and this is more of a tuition in masking than sign writing
PARABÉNS AMIGO!
AD2 is my design program as well, GG
this cat is good
What is that stick you’re using called?
Nicework...enjoyed the video..hey where do i get one of those sticks for steadying the hand?
Ebay
❤❤❤❤ good
How did you end up removing the gold leaf that was stuck to the background?
Very nice job resurrecting this one! Stepping away was the right move! ❤
Just Brilliant, love that sign
I'm at a very early stage in learning sign painting. Struggling to get the corners right, any tips would be appreciated.
Great video, thank you. Just taken up signwriting as an early retirement hobby and working on basic strokes. Good days and bad, but i'm not for giving up! Can you advise what size of brush you were using please. Have subscribed to your channel, looking forward to seeing more brilliant stuff. All the best from Scotland.
This is the most important part that is never shown in the majority of you tube post
Where is the link for the font ?
Superb
😍😍😍
Thats so good xx
Stunning indeed. Beautiful job!
Aswome ❤ video again keep up make them litel tip for the metallic paint mix it wif drop off grey so it is what thicker try thinner brush to lay it down save frustion trust mi greeting from the netherlands 😅😅
Do you have a brush choice and possibly a loading video, in my very limited experience, I've understood the thinning n brush loading is 90%+ of doing the work correctly.
I like your work but can't watch your videos - that 'music' is awful. In a world where we spend so much time listening to looped trash on a phone line while queuing we can do without listening to the same rubbish for entertainment! There are plenty of sources for decent, royalty free tracks or you could use AI to generate something, Or you could just speak, that'd cost you nothing.
Great video. Do you have to wait for each colour to dry on the writing or just keep going
If you ever go outside the line can you clean it up somehow?
Hiya, depends on the surface. On so e of my stock paper pieces no, but painted wood or metal it is easy to fix most errors
How do you mark the outline through the paper?
The paper will have charcoal or chalk o. The back to trace the lettering from a drawing or skecth
🤩🤩
Paano ba ito elettiring ang pangalan nato po AJ- JAN paano
Why not just put a true mirror behind it?
It is an idea I could try. It was more about testing the spray though
❤
Hey mate, loving these videos.. Cannot stop watching! I'm wondering what material you're painting onto here? Is it paper or something specific?
Thanks for watching and finding them useful! Yes, these ones are paper stock. Makes it a mess if you make any mistakes, but it is very cheap and always available, easy to store too!
You can tell this is an American video - here in Britain we hang signs saying “ Oh No, Not You Again!”
😂😂
What is the silver tool you are using?
That's a mahl stick
What material do you use for the baseboard…?
I'm just using cardstock for this. Only problem is that it's a nightmare if you make a mistake!
@@theletterhead cheers many thanks for the reply…I have been a sign writer for 40 years and enjoy your videos immensely..👌🎨🖌😎
Can you use this stuff on a motorcycle tank?
Definitely, 1shot or Ronan are great for that
@@theletterhead thank you! 🙌🙏
Brings back memories
What's the name of the stick you're using when you're painting the letters
It's called a mail stick. Thanks for watching!
@@theletterhead great videos
I know it’s two years later lol, but what brushes are you using in this particular video, thanks sheldon
I'm just using some handovers synthetic brushes. They were okay, but I use real hair mostly now.
Nice
Does it matter what color you paint with in the areas to be leafed?
Yeah, most colour's won't work. But 1shot imitation gold does for this. Otherwise, use a gold size
How much is the tf in here? Thankyou.
Sorry mate I don't understand the question 😅
