Hey guys! So a lot of you on Instagram and facebook have been asking me how to create monoline lettering, so I decided I would make a tutorial on it for you. Granted, this isn't massively informative in terms of the style of the letterforms because it is essentially just your own handwriting drawn out, but very neat and more experimental with a bullet tip marker. This tutorial focuses more on the addition features you can add, such a shadows in this case. I show you how and where to add shadows to your type both in pencil and in photoshop. A monoline is a line that goes from paint A to B while maintaining a consistent width, however, don't let this stop you from fixing up your letters if they don't look perfectly how you want them, it's okay to deviate slightly from the consistent width. It is very very unlikely that you will ever create a piece of type that is 100% the same width all the way through, it's simply not going to happen, and you won't really notice if it's slightly thicker in some areas since it's such a minor difference. The goal here isn't to make the width of the lines absolutely perfect, it's to help you create beautiful pieces of hand lettering. I really hope this tutorial has helped you guys out, and let me know what other tutorials you want to see in the future and I will consider them and try and get some more made before I go back to university on the 1st of Feb.
