Typography Sketchbook: Drawing Letters with Style

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for taking part and I hope you enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finalizing the composition you started in the "Ideation and Compositions" unit or making a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. 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 and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Quote Choose a word or phrase you want to letter. The Composition Create quick thumbnail sketches to determine the lettering style, hierarchy, and composition of your piece.

The Details Draw guidelines, your skeleton, add weight, and any remaining details. Refine your drawing until you're happy with it! Adding Ink or Color Next, ink your drawing or add color using markers. Wait for it to dry and erase any pencil markings. The Flat Lay Finally, take a photo of your finished piece or document any footage you took during your creative process. I encourage you to share your work on social media! But first, I'd like to see your results, so don't forget to share them in the Domestika forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Sharing is important. Getting feedback and support from friends and family will keep you motivated. Domestika is a great community for artists and there are a lot of people that may be starting just like you. There is no place for negativity, only encouragement! 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.”

“Final Project Thanks for joining this lettering ride. It's been fun sharing what I know and I hope you learned something. I want to see what you create in your lettering sketchbook. We covered a lot in this course from learning the basics of lettering to going from concept to completion, and how to shoot and share your work on social media. Before we say goodbye, I'll give you a few tips to remember as you continue your journey and complete your final project.
