The art of hand lettering is the opposite of new, but it’s still a trend that’s been pretty popular in the last few years. The tools it requires are simple – a pen and paper – but knowing which pens produce the best pieces is a matter of practice and experience.
Hand lettering is attractive and can be applied in many situations. Unlike all the things digital, it has a relaxing power and is a great tool for unwinding after a long day. Lettering is readable art, where the artist creates her favorite words, sentences or quotes in a variety of styles that look gorgeous.
Though lettering is a great anti-stress practice, the very beginning can be overwhelming. If you want to give it a try, start small. Find your favorite artists to follow on social media and learn from them. The most important thing – do the work. As you practice, you will naturally get better. It can be a pretty awesome skill to have!
