type thursday: lettering rookie

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.

I used Genius Scan on my phone to capture it. I'm quite pleased with it. I think Brush Pen is easier to use, especially for beginners. I would suggest to use pencil lightly as a base, to make the composition looks good. I can't wait to try it with ink!
