I recently started exploring custom lettering as a new creative outlet. I've always appreciated when text and illustration come together in artwork, but found the lettering aspect a bit intimidating if I'm being honest.
After taking a couple of courses on Skillshare, I've now made lettering part of my daily practice. My approach is simple: one letter per day with nine different variations of each. It'll take a good portion of the summer to work through the entire alphabet and numbers, but I'm in no rush. When I finish, I'll have built up a nice collection of ideas to draw from later.
Summer feels like the perfect time for this kind of project. I just find a shady spot for an hour each day and enjoy the relaxed process of developing this new skill. I'm currently working on the letter H, and I can already see real improvement in the variety and style of my lettering.
There's definitely something satisfying about learning a new skill on your own terms.
Congrats on 10000 subs! I’m also trying to be more consistent :)

Very relatable, in summer I tend to take trips and my art practice is never the same when I come back from them.
