I just love these videos. I just got started with hand lettering at the end of 2022. I practice a lot and I am seeing such improvement. I am taking note of your recommendation to save some of my earlier work to see how far I have come. My hand lettering issues are: 1.Shaky upstrokes, but I'm noticing that it is only with certain pens, such as Faber-Castel brush pen and Copic brush markers, so I don't use them. I have the best upstrokes with Tombow and Stabilo pens 2. I find myself mixing lettering styles. I'm too indecisive at times. Example sometimes I fancy a loopy "r" and other times I go for the block style.
Hi Fiona! Thanks so much for watching & I'm so glad to hear it's going well! As for your issues, I'll admit, some pens are just better with this than others. I personally don't use the copic alcohol markers (also the Winsor & newton alcohol brush markers) because they just seem to struggle with the motions we use in brush lettering. Another recommendation is to use a smooth paper if you aren't already. And I think it's totally fine to mix styles! In fact, that's probably how you'll start to develop your own signature style... over time you will probably start to notice that you gravitate towards certain combinations, but it's totally fine to experiment too! I hope that helps & thanks again for watching!
@@HowtoHandLetter Thanks. I learned the hard way that the paper is so important. I ruined a few pens early into my journey by using multi media and cheap notebook paper. Now I have switched to Rhodia and HP premium . I also have started paying attention to my own internal state of relaxation. I have noticed that if I am tense, exhausted or anxious, I struggle with my lettering and my upstrokes are shakier than usual (even though lettering usually is very calming). Thank you again for your encouragement. I'll make sure that I am subscribed to your channel. ♥
I struggle alot with getting my letters to be more round and bouncy. Mine are straight and square almost. Not the look I'm going for. I used to do a little calligraphy years ago, and I can't seem to shake that square professional look. I want round and fun! 😁
Great tips! You should do a video series (like your Pen A Day Challange) comparing brush pens! ☆Examples:☆ •Brushables vs Fudebiyori •Stabilo vs Fibralo •Karin vs Sharpie Stained •Pentel vs Tombow Fudenosuke •Winsor and Newton vs Ecoline vs Camlin •Zebra Funwari vs Zebra Disposal •Sakura Koi vs Fudebiyori •Tombow Dual Tip vs Artist's Loft vs Zebra vs Amazon Basics
Your videos are really fun and entertaining, I don’t know if you’ve dine this before but you can try doing a challenge where you use cheap handlettering supplies v.s better handlettering supplies! Thank you so much for reading this comment! :)
I have a question. How do you develop your own style as I've been doing it for quite a while my lettering looks so much like you . That's why I wanna develop a seperate style could you help me??
I thought the same thing I try to write different styles of the same letter and find out what works 4 me Btw r s t g y h are some letters where if u change them a little bit it starts to look different
@@muktachikerur7439 yeah I've also been kind of experimenting them they're good but tips will help me make them look more cohesive , kind of better version of my lettering learnt so far , I appreciate your effort to help me out.
I’m super shaky, but I just started learning a few days ago. And I try to write too fast. I can write in cursive fast so I’m trying to wrap my brain around this slow and steady idea.
Me too. Its helpful when they show real-time lettering. Once you go slow and get the results you want, it gets easier. I am mentally repeating to myself "Slower, slower" when I am lettering.
Is this verse from Romans? :) plz share! I love your neat handwriting and comparing it with your old work really helps me understand what I did wrong in brush lettering... I can do fancy cursive writing but this is so different!
Do you ever use 100% cotton watercolor paper? You would not believe the difference btw the Canson paper once you use cotton. It’s incredible. Even with the higher quality paints!!
@How to Hand Letter Really helpful tips!! Thanks so much for sharing :D I am still a beginner but I struggle with (what you were mentioning) making the up and down strokes actually noticeable. It just looks like plain cursive :/ Do you have any tips for this?
Hey there! any tips for creating more steady upstrokes and consistency? Also I'm having trouble transitioning from a smaller brush pen into the larger dual brush pens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, I recently started hand lettering and got new brushpens. But I somehow think that the pens I bought are not actually for handlettering because even thought it has a brush tip. It is very difficult to create thinner strokes on the paper. And it doesnt even give even strokes. Btw I have been using doma brushpens super soft tip. Would you pls guide if these pens are meant for handlettering or not
@@muktachikerur7439 oh, that is why I have a lot of difficulty and it takes a lot of time to list write one word. Thanks for your recommendation, I will tru using them
I would love to see a video on hand lettering Bible verses (from composition to doodles or anything else you can think of). I use my bullet journal as a devotional and prayer journal. Thank you 🙏 for sharing! 😘 p.s. what paper did you use ? Cold pressed ?

Can u pls review the ohuhu pens I think they r comparable to you tombow dual
Thank you! And I haven't tried those yet but I will have to add them to my list! Thanks!
@@HowtoHandLetter thx
They r super cheap and last longer than tombow
@@muktachikerur7439 yes
Shakey up strokes are definitely a problem for me, I know I need to practice more.

This is all coincidence
Today, for the first time I did watercolor brush letter and after half an hour you posted this😁😁🤭🤭
Wow! That's great timing! Great job!
Even I tried it today what a coincidence

They r super difficult to use
Instead try maped super tips they are like crayola markers
Or even tombow fude hard nib is good

I struggle with finding the right pens. So far Tombow Fudenosuke pens work.
Awesome
