Hand-drawn lettering
Hello
Ive recently just started hand drawing certain aspects of my posters, and am quite enjoying some of the outcomes (I think somewhere along the line of using my computer too much, i forgot i could actually DRAW!) but i need a bit of help... Does anyone know of any online lettering tutorials that are worth a look? Ive quite got into lettering, but as its not something ive done for awhile, Im a bit rusty and all my letters keep coming out the same. Any advice is cool!

Just keep sketchng until the flow of your hand starts to take over.
I will sometimes write out the words I need over and over until I'm happy. -loco

Old Calligraphy books and a chisel point pencil or pen. That's how I taught myself calligraphy when I was in junior high, it made me appreciate lettering more.

Although I am far from an artist, there's a lot on this site that inspires me to practice hand lettering - worth a look for sure.
