So I bought your book from Amazon after watching this video. I wasn't expecting much because I've seen lots lots of youtubers put out books that just seem like they are trying to get a little extra money. But I don't hate on that and I like your stuff so I thought I'd just get it hoping it would at least help you out. Boy was i shocked when it came in! It's amazing. Super high quality. Worth every penny. The best lettering book I've ever seen and I've been through a lot though I still suck at writing. But I'm confident after reading the beginning of yours I'll be a lot closer to where I want to be after I finish the book.
I like the idea of stickers. After several years of trying to make stickers work, I decided that stickers are for people who don't have a lot of things going on and need to fill up space.
@@lisaleone2296 I think it depends on the type and amount of stickers still. Icons or tiny doodle stickers work for me when I have nothing or a lot going on because it either draws my eye to an important thing (icon), or makes me feel less negative about a thing I don't want to do so that I actually get it done (doodles). Sometimes I use them like you would with a child, I don't let myself use the sticker unless I do the thing.
I have gotten more comfortable with pen only with accents. I enjoy trying some lettering as well. I have also learned to enbrace mistakes and move on. My planner is not for instagram worthy shots but for me to keep me organized.
Love this vid! This is an area I deal with when teaching sketchnoting. I guess I am what they call a "font doodler". I bring variety & accent to my handwritten documents via the manipulation of text instead of adding images. So, I've really enjoyed your "Pen Only" vids. Along with text, I also use a lot of containers, dividers, & arrows in my writing (teach notetaking skills). Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
Your comment about uppercase cursive letters being awkward as fuck made me feel so validated because when I was trying to learn brush lettering, the uppercase letters were the fucking worst. Now whenever I brush letter, I just do everything in lowercase 😂
I went through a phase where I was experimenting with making the first letter a big thick print letter with serifs, and the snuggling the rest of the word next to it in cursive. It was a look! Also, I relearned cursive by just starting again in my planner 18 months before my wedding so it would be legible in time for thank you notes. 😂 It worked!
I’m loving the pen only month... I just can’t afford all the stickers, and I still have a lot that I don’t use... your videos this month has given me so many ideas! Thanks so much!
You do Ms thickening the right side and Ns the middle. I don’t know how I noticed it because I can’t do lettering to save my life but that caught my eye #ocdmuch?

I just watched your 2020 vs 2021 PowerSheets comparison and wondered how you wrote you word of the year. here it is. Thank you!
Thank you, Cindy, for this pen-only series. You've broken down the different aspects so well.
Another great video. Thanks for the tips, and reminding us that they are no rules. Be Safe Be Well.
I am brand new to planning. YOU are the funniest and keep it real. I love it! I will be following you for sure.
I really like pen only planning. Stickers are so expensive and usually the spreads look so loud and busy

Yes! That is what I think too.

You freaking crack me up!

This is awesome!!! Even with the “a$$h0le” letters 🤣🤣🤣
I love these pens! What are they called?
Love this series!
I’m loving the pen only month... I just can’t afford all the stickers, and I still have a lot that I don’t use... your videos this month has given me so many ideas! Thanks so much!
I also have issues with the S, and my N doesn't look good that way. I hadn't considered doing the M and W with a double one. So will try that tomorrow
