Hey guys! So as some of you may have noticed, over the past month or so I have been posting a lot of lettering work to my Instagram page, and the style which I have been posting is significantly different to the usual stuff that I post. The reason behind this is, I havn't been using a brush pen. Now, Ill be the first to admit that everything hand lettering related with me always revolved around a brush pen, and as soon as someone mentioned hand lettering, the first thing that would come to mind is "BRUSH PEN. However, I recently tried to achieve some different styles (like the style in this video) with a brush pen, and of course found it quite difficult since you cannot do this in one stroke, so I started sketching out the letterforms from scratch using just a biro to create a rough piece which I would later refine in pencil. The results I started to achieve were very pleasing to say the least, so I decided to stick with it for a while and see what I could create once I was more familiar with the process and letterforms. Around month later, and here I am, very happy with how this has turned out.

I know it's not just me that jumps straight on a brush pen for any lettering work, so I thought I would share this process with you guys to let you know that you can create any style of lettering you like without a brush pen, it just requires some knowledge of the actual letterform style you're trying to achieve. So, as I mentioned in the video, a good idea would be to create a moodboard, and if you're unfamiliar with a moodboard, simply google it and that should enlighten you. Once you have studied the style you wan't to achieve, start practicing and from there, you will start to improve!

As always, I really hope this tutorial has helped some of you guys, and if you have any suggestions for future tutorials, feel free to drop a comment down below! Thanks!
