Thanks alot for the great info. I've been interested in learning the art since I was 11. I'm 77 now. Now I'm ready to get going ! I picked up pinstriping at 68. It's letting now.
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.
Well not a waste of your time or mine great information. Im sure you hear this often but i would have loved a class like this when i went through body school! I hope people around you get inspired by you knowledge and passion for art. Thanks for inspiration!
I was hooked with the quality of the block letters at the top of the template, watched the entire video in detail, thank you for your commitment to the craft of fine lettering.
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!
Thanks Dannos! In Brazil all the guys want to do dificult letters without this brush control basic. I will practice this lesson first. Thanks for your time!
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 .
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.
I used to use old perspex letters to draw around and practice filling them in.set out a few 's' or whatever letter out and see how accurate i could get them.also practice on glass easy to clean off.practice makes perfect these videos help a great deal.
Two minutes in, and I could already tell the information you were giving was going to be VERY useful. And I learned exactly what I needed to know. Later, when you drive by a sign, you may have helped with it looking so good. Thank u!!
Hi, Thank u sir for such a great tutorial....I am from india, my father used to be a sign board painter but now he had passed away 2 years ago, it's a shame I didn't learn anything from him, but now I am in a dire need to follow his profession as that is the only source of income we have....I have learnt pretty basic lettering....our main source of income is lettering on building (image below) If u would help me with I would like to be your student.... Thank u again for what you are doing... God bless....
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.
Just subscribed. Not boring to us who want to learn. Camera set higher would be better for these old eyes. I'm going to view your videos and look forward to your next. Thanks for this one.
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?
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
Really enjoyed this video. Ive been a fan of graffiti and letters for quite some time. I can't wait to start painting. This video was very informative and motivational. Thank you.
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?
I really appreciate this guys tutorial.Straight and to the point with no frills or pointless waffle.EXCELLENT TUTORIAL.
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!
finally, something for us beginners! Thank you sir.
You are quite welcome. More to come this week.
Thanks alot for the great info. I've been interested in learning the art since I was 11. I'm 77 now. Now I'm ready to get going ! I picked up pinstriping at 68. It's letting now.
Beautiful work sir. Great to see a southpaw tutorial. Life in the left lane!

Squares, triangles, and circles! Thanks for the basics
I was hooked with the quality of the block letters at the top of the template, watched the entire video in detail, thank you for your commitment to the craft of fine lettering.
Finally. A lefty that knows what they're talking about. The golden combination I've been searching for! Thank you, sir, for your time and knowledge.
This was incredibly helpful! Especially as a lefty. Thank you! ...Plus my cat was totally enthralled hearing your pups. 🤘

I've got some 1-shot poster paint, and let me tell you, that lettering of your BRUSH CONTROL BASICS does my soul good.
Thanks for the lesson wish the camera angles were better but I was able to get the idea. I hope you put out more content I enjoy your videos.
Killer basics of hand-lettering... this is actually pretty inspiring.
Thanks for the help! Great tutorial!!
Wonderful, thanks for posting this, extremely helpful. Would love to see extreme close ups but this is still gold for me.
Great tutorial, thanks!

The rite size brush not only makes the work faster it gives a smoother finish.

Lefties unite! Was so happy when I seen left handed. God it’s frustrating trying to transfer the skill from right handed artists. 😂
Love it Danno!

Try Davidographicsguy on you tube, over fifty excellent videos. The man in this video has some issues, but seems like a really nice guy...
Thanks, super helpful
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.
Very cool Danno! This is the content I always wanted to find. Keep it up!

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?
That is a great idea James. And yes, Casual lettering is on my list. Thank you for your input.
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
It's really helpful sir..thank you so much....
At 15:9 I think the word you was looking was "interest"
Really enjoyed this video. Ive been a fan of graffiti and letters for quite some time. I can't wait to start painting. This video was very informative and motivational. Thank you.
Dude.. youre awesome!
Thank you. Very nice of you.
Ao your basically doing one stroke method twice to do a line
Yes! The hundreds! One of my mentors says pretty much the same thing about drawing staple tattoo images.
Thank you for your advise
yeah, that was perfect. basics are best
Like practicing scales.
Dreadful, but essential. I just wish we could see the brush tip on the paper.
Old man artist very nice
Should be learning a dagger stroke and small dots with leaving air on
Good theory, but I could not see what you were doing because you blocked the camera view..
Thank you!
Left handed yay!
thanks sir nice video
Thank you thank you!!
THANK YOU, SIR!
🔥🔥🖌️💯
I’m very bad at lettering but good at painting.
Put the camera on the other side so we can see what you are doing maybe????
Nise sir
FINALLY
Number on tip for beginners ---PAINT CONSISTENCY ! That will affect how the paint pays out from the brush.
yes yes please .
Blocking your work with your back was a idea, we know as much now as we did at the start of the vid!!
It would be nice if I could see something besides your back.
Tapas todo el proceso y lo importante con tu cuerpo amigo
Somehow it seems he is learning himself
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?
Or you are using a paint brush sorry thought you were airbrushing
All you can see is your back.
To top it off ...you're too damned lazy to re-shoot it.
this not a perfect lettering. poor...
Ten minutes in, painting begins (I’m a visual learner), and he’s in front of it half the time ... o.0
