    Brilliant video my friend - anything worthwhile in this life takes time commitment and practice . It’s such a shame that the computer age has made many people just want everything instantly . Any one who is truly wanting to master any skill will grind away at it . I am looking out for your next video ……I really like your down to earth manner . Thank you from England .

    Good demonstration. One common mistake beginners make is that they make the curved letters the same height as the square ones, meaning the S is the same height as the A. You need to create an optical illusion by making the curved letters slightly taller than the squared ones. Place a straight edge along the headline on a newspaper or poster and you can see what I mean.

    The toughest letters to master bro…..no room for error because everyone recognizes this alphabet and it must be uniform with no flare. Great job!

  • @MarkRichardson90
    @MarkRichardson90 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is seriously a great video. So many little things I've been trying to pick up that haven't seen before (like twisting the brush for the corners etc.). Thanks for taking the time to share this rad stuff with us!

    Would have been good If we saw less of your back and more of your hand and brush. I couldn't really see how you were forming the shapes because you were in the way of the camera.

  • @jameshodge
    @jameshodge 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video! I think you should put that your left handed in the description somewhere to make it easier for us lefties to find. Any plans to do casual lettering tutorials?

    • @blackheartdesigns7431

      I was so happy to see a tutorial for lefties... I couldn’t see what you were doing tho... your camera shot your back just when I thought I was going to learn a stroke... hope to see more videos with the lettering view

  • @GR_BackingTracks
    @GR_BackingTracks 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I watched this months ago I didn't pick up that you are a lefty like me... Now coming back after actually buying paints and brushes, this is really helpful!
    Also, I noticed that you exhale into every stroke, and at first I thought it was strange, but I finally tried that approach and it actually helps to steady the stroke, sort of like aiming and firing a rifle or bow-and-arrow.
    (edited) A few months in, and I think I'm giving up on my mahlstick for now, inspired by your use of the hand-rest technique.

  • @RobertAnthony-fd3bu

  • @larrymaloney877
    @larrymaloney877 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you just teach what you know and stop wasting my time editorializing? Is it a "beginner's course" because YOU are a beginner? Let's see if I've got this right, it's like coloring in a coloring book, stay inside the lines. OK, what's next?
