Intro to Hand-Lettering for Inspirational Quotes

“Well done! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you so much for taking part. I hope you learned a lot and are inspired to start creating stunning and balanced lettering compositions. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the composition you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and create a unique project of your own. Before jumping in, I also want to remind you to not rush your work. Take one step at a time and enjoy the process. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. After all, I'll be in the forum to answer any questions or doubts you might have. Here are the main steps to follow: The Plan Carefully plan your lettering composition. Pick a quote and assign a hierarchy to the important words. The Sketch Next, sketch 4 layout options and pick out the lettering styles you’d like to use. The Execution After planning, carefully execute your lettering plan on your final paper by sketching out the layout and letter guides well.

The Inking Stage Once all the guides are in place, start inking your work, designing the letters, and finishing it off with decorations.
The Final Touches Lastly, check your work to see if you need to refine anything. Then, take a nice photo of your work styled on your flat lay.
And that's all! I can’t wait to see the project you come up with, so don’t forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". I'll be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I'll try getting back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others’ work, and interact with the community! See you there. ”

Lettering Artist

Nico Ng is a multidisciplinary designer, educator, and creative entrepreneur from Manila. After completing a degree in engineering, he started to teach himself lettering and before long, it was clear he was destined for a career in the art world. He first shared his work on Instagram in 2014 and began to receive private commissions. His systematic approach was born out of his struggles with aligning larger compositions freehand. During its creation, he used his background in engineering and created his first ever letting tool⁠—the Composition Ruler.

Thanks to his deliberate, carefully structured, and harmonious style, he’s had the pleasure of working with Japanese stationary brand Tombow, for which he was one of the first brand ambassadors in the Philippines, and Manuscript Pen Company. Nowadays, he is into exploring other artists’ processes as well as digital lettering.
