    The toughest letters to master bro…..no room for error because everyone recognizes this alphabet and it must be uniform with no flare. Great job!

    This is seriously a great video. So many little things I've been trying to pick up that haven't seen before (like twisting the brush for the corners etc.). Thanks for taking the time to share this rad stuff with us!

  • @GR_BackingTracks
    @GR_BackingTracks 3 роки тому

    When I watched this months ago I didn't pick up that you are a lefty like me... Now coming back after actually buying paints and brushes, this is really helpful!
    Also, I noticed that you exhale into every stroke, and at first I thought it was strange, but I finally tried that approach and it actually helps to steady the stroke, sort of like aiming and firing a rifle or bow-and-arrow.
    (edited) A few months in, and I think I'm giving up on my mahlstick for now, inspired by your use of the hand-rest technique.

  • @1951jmds
    @1951jmds 4 роки тому +2

    Good demonstration. One common mistake beginners make is that they make the curved letters the same height as the square ones, meaning the S is the same height as the A. You need to create an optical illusion by making the curved letters slightly taller than the squared ones. Place a straight edge along the headline on a newspaper or poster and you can see what I mean.

    Brilliant video my friend - anything worthwhile in this life takes time commitment and practice . It’s such a shame that the computer age has made many people just want everything instantly .

    Hi, Thank u sir for such a great tutorial....I am from india, my father used to be a sign board painter but now he had passed away 2 years ago, it's a shame I didn't learn anything from him, but now I am in a dire need to follow his profession as that is the only source of income we have....I have learnt pretty basic lettering....our main source of income is lettering on building (image below)
    If u would help me with I would like to be your student....
    Thank u again for what you are doing...

    Can you just teach what you know and stop wasting my time editorializing? Is it a "beginner's course" because YOU are a beginner? Let's see if I've got this right, it's like coloring in a coloring book, stay inside the lines. OK, what's next?
