type thursday: lettering with ink

Hello. I've been M.I.A. for quite some time. I'm trying to blog as often as I can though.

In this post I'm going to showcase some of my recent lettering works. I learned lettering with ink through a friend, she has been doing it for a year or so. I started with a normal art brush, pure ink and Concorde paper. I used Lyra art brush in No. 0 and No. 4. Cheap and no fuss.

 

The thing about this method though, you have to frequently pick up the ink with the brush to continue working on the lettering, resulting in uneven strokes and pressure.

Lately I've been drawn to hand lettering. There are a few letterers out there to name that I admire: Jasmine Dowling, Abbey Sy, Cristina Martinez and Kristin Nohe. Their works are just beautiful and effortless.

I've wanted to learn for some time, so I just picked up a Koi Coloring Brush Pen and ink yesterday at a stationary store. I managed to pull off some on a tiny notebook, but they do need some touch up on Photoshop and whatnot. Here's one of the result, no Photoshop on this one yet though.
