Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Lettering is such a fun way to add story and personality to your sketchbook pages. Lettering can be part of the drawing instead of added as an afterthought. Even when you're insecure about your handwriting, or afraid you'll "mess up" a nice drawing... It is all just lines and shapes. Play with size, spacing and placement to create more lively and more balanced pages. Imperfections make everything feel more personal. And when you copy lettering, that's an easy way to study styles, find inspiration and build a little "library of letters" you might use later. At the end of the video, I give you a fun assignment, for your sketchbook practice. -Watch how I add shadows to lettering in this video: https://youtu.be/X1Fm4sgqUYE -To learn how to do brush lettering, watch this video next: https://youtu.be/RRRrDAxJ2x8 Lettering adds variety and extra information to your drawings.
