For the sketch you need sketch or printer paper, a pencil, eraser and a ruler. A lightpad is helpful for transferring the sketch, but not absolutely necessary - I will mention alternative possibilities in the course. For watercolor lettering you will need a small round brush (e.g. size 4), watercolor paper as well as watercolor, water and a paper towel to dab your brush.
Watercolor Hand Lettering - Beginner's Guide
- How to plan the layout of a saying
- How to make a sketch and transfer it to watercolor paper
- How to use brushes and watercolor to create different fonts - from script to block letters to 3D letters
- How to beautifully decorate your text
We start with the question of how to build the layout for the slogan "Life is made of little moments". It is important not only to choose fonts that harmonize with each other, but also the size and positioning of the text parts. Together we sketch the graphic and transfer the drawing to watercolor paper.
Next, we will explore script fonts, block letters, 3d letters, and decorative elements using the different letterforms. As a reward, at the end of the course you will hold your own handlettering unique piece in your hands and know how to approach the next phrase.
Some experience with handlettering is an advantage, but not a must. You can use my template as a guide when designing the letters. With regard to watercolor, you do not need any previous experience, because we do not use complicated techniques and everything you need to know is explained in detail in this online course on drawing.
