Probably, everyone has come across cases in life when they had to sign a postcard, congratulations or just write a word in beautiful letters. There are a huge variety of fonts and ways of writing letters, and this set still continues to be replenished with more and more new options. However, there is also such a beautiful font, which will not be difficult for any person to write.
It is necessary
A sheet of white paper, a simple graphite pencil, markers, felt-tip pens or pencils in black and red
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to use a red marker or felt-tip pen and write the word you need. In order for the letters to look solid, you should designate them the same in width and length. The letters may not necessarily be narrow, but, on the contrary, may be elongated, for example, in length or width, this will give them a special splendor.
Step 2
It is possible to depict tails of the letters, preferably of the same length, since it is necessary to provide the font with exposure in the same style.
Step 3
At the next stage, the entire area of the field, which is highlighted in red, will be perceived as a field for further work. Do not touch the white background yet. We begin to fill this field with black spots, as if on the wings of a ladybug. It is best to keep the specks not too large so as not to negate the red texture.
Step 4
Now the letters can be made even more colorful. We begin to turn the spots into small balls-circles. The word is given a joyful and playful character.
Step 5
In order to be more accurate at the first stage of writing letters, you can use a simple pencil, and after that you can paint the letters with red and black colors.
Step 6
To learn how to write beautifully, in calligraphic handwriting, take an old writing book and start practicing each letter of the alphabet. Remember that all handwritings are different, and yours will also be unique, do not seek to repeat samples one to one. Make sure that the spacing between the letters is the same, even. Practice on lined paper to learn to feel the intervals intuitively. You can find cursive notebooks online or at your local library. Hold the handle correctly. It is best to write in italics by holding the pen between your index and middle fingers, with your fingertips and thumb close to the end of the pen or pencil. This can help reduce stress in your forearm, wrist, and thumb.
Step 7
It is important to route the connecting lines correctly. Italics are, in fact, the connections between letters. This type of writing is used for fast writing. These connections are the "air" between the letters as the pen breaks off the paper when writing in block letters. Remember to close the spaces at the top of the letters. This will make the letters clearer and easier to distinguish.
Step 8
To make the letters and words beautiful, it is important to put the paper correctly. You need to understand the direction of the lines so that the letter has a uniform appearance. The height can be any, the main thing is uniform. So, for example, you can take the font Italic 5 height.
Step 9
Distinguish lines and focus on them. The baseline is the line on which all the lowest points of the letters in the line lie. The top line is the line above the base line, which will change the height depending on the height of the letters. The ascending line is the line that all ascending letters touch, such as B or C. The descending line is the line that all descending letters touch, such as D or Z.
Step 10
Practice as much as possible to develop your style and get used to it. Train the angle of inclination of the letter, the movement of the pen, choose a comfortable posture for yourself. Carefully consider the choice of writing instruments. Experiment with pen and paper. Draw circles, lines, geometric shapes, varying the angle and pressure on the pen to choose your preferred writing style.
Step 11
To turn your handwritten lettering into a masterpiece, try mastering different writing styles. Your beautiful new handwriting may be based on one style, calligraphic or cursive, but practice other styles as well. Browse the work of various artists, graphic designers, and get inspiration from them. Pay attention to posters, announcements in the metro - perhaps an interesting idea will come across there as well. Perhaps it will not be superfluous to turn to ancient writing, the style of medieval manuscripts, or even ancient Egyptian texts or Scandinavian runes.
Step 12
To decorate lettering, use calligraphy to write cards, create posters, or other projects. The ornament of the letter can be made by hand, using a permanent pen on a simple ornament, by writing the selected words. You can make a poster from the words of a poem or a quote you like.
Step 13
Choose the right writing instruments. For calligraphy, markers, automatic pens, metal or bird nibs are suitable. The paper should be ink-resistant. You can also practice on a regular notebook sheet. The cotton content of the paper is of great importance. The higher it is, the harder the lines will be. If you are serious about learning calligraphy, you can buy specialty paper as well. Calligraphy kits usually include such paper as well. It is better to choose non-Indian ink. This ink clogs into the tip of the pen and clogs it. Water-soluble ink works best.
Step 14
Start by creating sketches and drafts. This will help you to think over the composition and style thoughtfully and carefully, and develop the necessary skills. Do not despair if the first time the letters turn out to be not very even - on the first try, few people succeed in creating a truly beautiful inscription. Sketches will also help prevent annoying mistakes in the final version. Extra letters and irregularities will be easier to see in the sketch.
Step 15
If you want to create a brush style font, try using the actual writing instrument. When drawing with live material, it is easier to keep track of the thickness of the lines. You can also depict beautiful and vivid effects such as sagging or unevenness.
