I never ever commented on youtube. But I am an absolute nerd for Typography and Typedesign, so here goes. I cannot tell you the story of the specific kind of g in the video, I can tell you it is called a two storey g, as opposed to a one storey g (as is shown in this font). You also wrote a two storey a, as opposed to a one storey a.
I hope I can give one additional advice for designing letters:
Generally, the goal of a letter is to look stable. That can mean it should be bottom heavy. Maybe make bottom serifs a bit larger, or bottom strokes thicker, or for example with an H, the "whitespace" under the bar should be bigger than the one on top (basically the bar should be above the mathematical middle). Stability can also mean the letters shouldn't look like they're about to fall over. An example here is lowercase r, where the bottom right serif can actually be longer than the other serifs, to prevent it from falling over. I hope this helps and makes sense at all.
One of the best sources for further guidance on this is Designing Type by Karen Cheng. Heavy material though.
In any case, I very much enjoyed the video, my favourite letter remains lowercase a.
Two additional notes:
- The middle line you drew is called the x-height.
- Technically a "helvetica bold" or "helvetica regular" is a font, but "helvetica" is a typeface, consisting of fonts.
That's some awesome information! Just curious, when and where did you start learning about it? And do you have any books about it?
@@getoulover I started studying graphic design 3 years ago (with terrible typography teachers). I mostly taught myself via books and an internship in letterpress printing, I started to design my own fonts then. Mostly I know books about typography in general. But as far as typedesign goes, I have some suggestions:
- Beier, Sofie (2017): _Type Tricks. Your personal Guide to Type Design._ This is the tiny cute book that sort of demystified Type Design for me. (I originally thought I bought a book about typography in general). It makes Type Design seem doable, and it gives you an idea of where to start.
- Cheng, Karen (2005): _Designing Type._ I include this to give more detail. This book has a page for pretty much every single letter in capital and lowercase, serif and sans serif, as well as punctuation, numerals and accents. Extremely detailed, and several visual examples for each point that is made.
- letterpunch.blogspot.com/p/glyph-tutorials.html This too goes into each letter and punctuation, but sadly the pictures of the blog are all gone. The text is still useful, I hope.
Theres are also two books about typography in general, which I would recommend, because things like which character to use, what space to put between letters, and a historical context is as important as the letterforms themselves.
- Williams, Jim (2011): _Type Matters!_ Certainly the best book to get into typography in my opinion. It covers the basics and presents it very visually and simplified.
- Lupton, Ellen (2004): _ Thinking With Type._ A bit more in depth, and it adds a historical context, as well as a more classic graphic design context with grids for example.
That being said, I suppose most of those books are primarily in a graphic design or font production context, so sort of ... "peripheral literature" to hand lettering. I hope they are still helpful. In any case, have fun hand lettering.
imight notcare interesting
This is probably the most intriguing comment I have ever read on UA-cam.
Thank you for sharing some knowledge on the subject with us!
I find it weird that we use letters every day yet know so little about types and fonts.
@@mysteriouswolven I am glad you find this subject interesting. As a typography nerd, you rarely get to nerd out about this stuff. It's like "Oh so you make fonts... so... why do we need that?"
But what you said is true, about letters being omnipresent. As I got into all this stuff I started to notice a lot of things I technically "saw" all my life. Small example: *fl ffl fi ffi* For those combinations there can be special characters, "Ligatures". The letters sort of melt into each other to be easier readable, as the top of f is often in the way of l or the dot of the i. The dot of the i is actually entirely gone in the ligature. This font has ligatures, some others don't need them.
Another typography fact (in addition to imight notcare's beautiful comment): serifs are in no way cosmetical - they actually work as a guide while reading. Subconsciously connecting all the serifs makes the lines and x-heights on your page visible again (in the reader's head at least) and in this way make sure you don't skip a row. Book Science is cool!
I haven't watched you videos in almost two years..... I missed this so much, now I have to go and binge all your vids 😂😂
Love it mark. That’s an “old school” mark crilldog video! Lol. Keep up the good work👍😁🤙
Mark Crilley is so soothing like Bob Ross. I would watch a 3 hour video if you made it
I love hand lettering my comic pages! But now everyone's using conputers to do the lettering! Great episode! 🔥😊👍
When drawing letter's it's good to focus on the negative space and keep all thick strokes the same all the way through same goes for the thin. Consistency.👍 Thanks for the videos. CRILLEEY!
Lettering is always an interesting activity. I can start and never want to finish working when I'm doing lettering work. Your work is nicely and neatly done Mr. Crilley! Always a joy watching!!
I feel like this guy can draw everything
Your drawing videos are just wonderful. My two daughters love to draw and your videos have been very inspiring to them. I also write, and your writing tips have helped me to not judge my writing style alongside more accomplished authors and given me added confidence. Thank you.
Thats so clean!!! I learn from watching your videos to improve my work!!! Great Content!!!
My favorite letters are Æ, Ð, and Þ, but they haven't been used in standard english for a long time x'D
This is amazing, keep up the good work, always wondered about the "Crilley method"
I was literally practicing hand lettering 3 seconds before you uploaded this video 😂
great job, I love your videos! I like hand lettering comics, and this is helpful!
Just as I was starting to search for font styles online, Mark posted one.. Awesome and this was really helpful, great partnership with google out there
Crilley... I find myself, as I learn Japanese, the kanji and other Japanese writing style become works of art. I hope I am not the only one. I will sketch it 4 times just to get and beautiful... lol
Would you ever consider re-making some of your older videos in higher quality? I learned to draw watching them, and I would be very interested in seeing kind of a "this is how I used to tell you to draw things and this is how I've improved" type thing.
Great tutorial
You know when I saw the video I read "the Chilling method" 😂
Beautiful!
...and now to add the blushies. Just kidding. Love the video.
Im so happy for this video.
Hai, Kazuma Desu!
plz make a video about HOW to practice and study anatomy (muscles and skeleton)
Thos is fun, and all the guide lines remind me of music. I tend to do cursive, so I can makes it a ribbon making a font.
*sees video*
Me: *Yep I was WRITE*
More of this!
why the block form and curved form together? I have all 3 mastering manga awesome books they have help me so much!
Im noticin new crilley music
Thank you I watch it 2 times.mark
Hey, I have been watching youtubers for a while that draw or do art in some form, and the one thing that many of them have is a character or an avatar. I have wanted to make one myself but i havent ever made my own character before i have only drawn along along with you and others. so i am stuck on how to brainstorm ideas, i was wondering if you could make a video on that to help myself and others who have less talent or experience with creating characters. thanks :)
thanks bro
Nice ArtWork
When you live on yt so you don't even need to be on notification squad
👋
The idea of doing hand lettering gives me flashbacks to studying drafting. Not sure if that's good or bad...
More, pls.
Awesome video, in working on my first watercolor painting. Is there a way to seal the background so when I do the next layer it won't blend when water is added?
Shaun Kennedy just wait for the first layer to dry first and you should be good!😊
@@stilljustawalrus8135 I do but when I go to add a new layer it pulls up the layer below it
Shaun Kennedy hmm. Idk then. Sorry😕
@@DragonGateDesign maybe try a thicker paper
Good draw Like 😀😀😀
