Hand Lettering Alphabet Practice

If you’re a beginner to hand lettering, brush lettering, or modern calligraphy, let me tell you a not-so-well-kept secret: practice, practice, practice. Just like your mom used to tell you when you suffered through piano lessons, practice is the only way to get better.

But I find the one-off practice sheets out there less realistic than I want. I learn by DOING and I want to see the letters in a word in order to:

• learn how to connect letters,
• get a feel for how styled letters move on the line,
• practice how to properly space letters, and
• use real words I would incorporate into designs.

Modern Calligraphy Letters – Letter A

There are so many calligraphy practice sheets out on the Internet, so I wanted to make something a bit different. Modern calligraphy and brush lettering are my faves and I know I’m not the only one, so…

I put together 8 styles which incorporate modern calligraphy letter practice along with a couple brush lettering and light bounce lettering styles.

I’m a sucker for a fun, bouncy font, friends.
