How To Use Brush Lettering Worksheets
Before we look into the worksheets, let’s talk about ways to use them.
It seems pretty straightforward, I know—print and use. But there are a few things you should know and consider before doing that.
Trust me, after many printed pages and ruined brush pens, I know what I’m talking about and I’m here to help you avoid all my mistakes.
If you’re planning to practice directly on your printable worksheets, it’s essential to opt for quality printing paper. A rough surface of the paper can damage the delicate brush tips over time, and we certainly don’t want that!
But if you don’t want to splurge on premium paper, there’s a workaround for that too. Simply lay a sheet of tracing paper over any regular paper, and there you have it – a reusable worksheet that’s gentle on your pens and your pocket.
I actually recommend you do that, since that way you won’t need to print your worksheets over and over again.
As for which tracing paper to go for, there are plenty of good options out there. Just remember, the key factor is smoothness to ensure a seamless glide for your pens.
Brush Lettering Supplies
Obviously, when you’re driving into brush lettering you’ll need some stationery, brush pens in particular. And I can talk about it for a long time, sicne theer are many amazing choices.
But here are a few of my favorites that work especially well for beginners:
- Tombow Dual Brush Pens. They are amazing, have tons of colors, and, most importantly – their brushes are very beginner-friendly. Plus, the marker tip will help you fix any small mistakes in your lettering you might make as a beginner.
- Smaller brush pen for more detailed work, such as headers for your weekly spreads. Here is where you have a wonderful option of Tombow Fudenosuke pens. They come in hard and soft tips so that you can control the style of your lettering.
Brush pens are the best one for brush lettering, but there is a way around it with pens that you might already have in your collection – the humble Crayola Super Tips! Believe it or not, these little champs can work wonders in the world of brush calligraphy, matching their high-end cousins stroke for stroke without burning a hole in your pocket.
The technique for them is a bit different, but they are definitely a great pen to start with if you’re on a budget.
