Hey guys! So this tutorial is something I have been meaning to make for a while now! I know a good few of you have requested I make some sort of template that you can use to practice your letterforms, rather than simply trying to copy what I do on screen, so here it is!
I have basically drawn out the basic shape of each letter, vectorised them to make them neater and easier to use, and turned it into a template/guide for you guys to use! I have also included some arrows too, to show you where to start each stroke, an which direction each stroke should go in. There are also some short and simple instructions at the bottom which tell you where thick and thin strokes should be used. The template/guide is quite self explanatory, however, I wanted to make this video to show you guys how to use it in case anyone was unsure, and also to help promote it so more of you guys know that it is available for free!

The reason I include the fact that this is free is because I know a lot of lettering artists out there only give these to people who sign up to their online courses or workshops. While I totally understand why they do this, of course to make some money from it, I am fully aware that a lot of you don't have money to sign up to these sorts of courses, and there isn't very much that is freely available to help you improve your hand lettering skills! I know this from personal experience from when I first started, I learnt simply by looking at other peoples work and trying to understand the letterforms. I had no guides or help, it was simply all about doing my research and studying other artists work!
While this is very good practice, it is also a long and tedious process, so having some form of guidelines to follow should hopefully help you guys improve your skills at a more steady rate! I would still definitely recommend constantly looking through other artists work as this is hugely beneficial and a very important step towards improving and expanding on your styles and idea!

By all means, feel free to sign up to any of these online courses or workshops from other artists out there because there will be much more info about hand lettering and much more in depth tutorials than what I am putting out. Most of these people are pretty established artists and have way more experience than myself, so feel free to search around for some of these if you don't mind spending a little bit of money. It is worth it!

Thanks again everyone for your amazing support of both my work and my channel, I really do appreciate it more than you know!
