HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL BE LEARNING IN EACH LESSON:
LESSON 1:
RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES
To kick things off, we'll dig into what supplies to use and why these supplies will set you up for success.
LESSON 2:
LOWERCASE LETTERS
In this lesson, you'll watch a detailed breakdown of modern calligraphy as we letter each letter 3 different ways.
LESSON 3:
UPPERCASE LETTERS
Building on what you have learned, we will continue with the same method and walk through the uppercase letters in 3 different styles.
LESSON 4:
WORDS
It's time to connect those letters to create words and go over spacing and bounce. Then we walk through common words.
LESSON 5:
PRINT ALPHABET
You'll also want to learn print letters to add in your lettering phrases. This lesson demonstrates lower and uppercase letters in this style.
LESSON 6:
NUMBERS
You'll also need numbers for dates and bible verse references so this lesson instructs how to form the numbers in multiple styles.
LESSON 7:
COMPOSITION
Putting it all together! Now it's time to brainstorm how to layout your lettering to create a completed hand lettered design you'll be proud of!
The course has NO EXPIRATION DATE and can be viewed as many times as desired. Save, print, and get ready to advance your coding career!
