HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Even if you think you are not creative, this book will help you unleash the lettering artist within you.

As a self-taught lettering artist, I understand how time-consuming it is to research tools and techniques, and study how to do brush lettering properly. Learning on your own may seem complicated—but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve designed this book in a way that makes learning a new skill fun, so you will find each lesson interesting, easy to understand, and actionable.

But I also know that along the way, you will encounter struggles and frustrations. Therefore, the first section of this book will focus on setting the right mindset. You will learn how to overcome any limiting beliefs you may have, manage the factors that can hinder your practice, and shift your thoughts when you feel like giving up.

The following sections will guide you on the recommended supplies for beginners, the fundamentals of brush calligraphy, how to find other lettering styles and techniques, and projects that will allow you to express your creativity.

Treat this book as a personal project that will transform your life and not just as an added chore to your daily tasks. Whether you want to learn a skill or develop a new hobby, this book’s success depends on your willingness to work hard and practice the skills that you will learn here. Don’t hesitate to write on the pages, draw, and color. Make the most out of this book!

Allow yourself to experiment, try new techniques, and enjoy the process without worrying about the results or making mistakes. Let go of perfection and focus on your progress.

Now you’re ready! Let’s do this.
