You guys! I mentioned it before, but the Studio Calico Love Your Lettering class has started and I’m loving it! Jasmine is a great teacher and she’s given us lots of tips and tricks already.
Here I am working on my second assignment — it’s so relaxing.
The best thing? You don’t need any fancy supplies. She recommends a Papermate Flair pen — I got a pack of basic black at Walgreens + then I found a multi-colored pack at Target tonight. Then you just print out the practice sheets and play away. If you want to kick it up a notch you can add in some tracing paper + washi tape to your kit. That’s it!
As you can see I need to practice more. Lots more. But it’s FUN. :)
You can register now through April 30th — hope to see ya there!
Oh! I think I’m going to have to do this… eek. I used to love my writing, and now that we write so little, it’s gotten worse, and I don’t like it anymore. Would love to actually spend time on “lettering”…
I love that you used your little scribble paper to make the top border. I do that sometimes too especially when I watercolor on a larger piece of paper than I need and have to trim off some. Then I can bear to throw that little piece away.
