      MASTERING FAUX CALLIGRAPHY SCRIPT

      You’ve Got This

      Do you want to know what I love most about art? Art is never wrong. Unlike a math problem that has one correct answer, art is open-ended. You can create anything you can imagine. As we work through the lessons in this book together, remember that even when something you write turns out different from what you expected, it’s still awesome. Your art should be your own and reflect your personality and style. Some of the lessons will be easy for you, while others might take practice and patience, but you’ve got this. You’re already on your way to creating amazing things!

      The art of hand lettering actually includes many different styles of writing, as well as embellishments and doodles. Basically, it’s all about creating awesome-looking artistic designs that are focused on written words, no matter how you choose to do it. There is one particular writing style, though, that’s become incredibly popular, and it’s the main thing most people associate with hand lettering. It’s called brush script, and it’s basically cursive writing that has letters made with a mixture of thick and thin lines. The technique behind brush lettering is to use a special brush pen and control the thickness of the lines by the amount of pressure you put on the pen.

      Later in the book, we’ll learn and practice that technique a bit to give you a feel for how it works. Honestly, it’s a little tricky to do, and it will take a lot of practice and repetition before you’ll get the hang of it, so instead of starting with the authentic technique, we’re going to begin our lettering lessons with the next best thing: faux calligraphy. Faux calligraphy looks very similar to brush script, but it’s much easier to do! You’ll be a pro at it in no time, and you’ll be able to write anything and everything you want in a fabulous hand lettered style. Ready to get
