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.

Uppercase and Lowercase Hand Lettering Complete Sets

Speaking of practice, you can get the entire uppercase lettering AND the lowercase lettering sets now! Both sets include 8 lettering styles in brush, bounce, and modern hand lettering styles for large and small pen practice.

Letter D Hand Lettering

Capital D’s are weird. They always remind me of a tummy – projecting here much, Sarah? Maybe…

8 styles to practice modern calligraphy, bounce lettering, and brush lettering
different sizes and thicknesses to practice small and large-tipped brush pens
real words you’d actually letter

My Biggest Tip for Hand Lettering

I’m often asked what the one tip is to give someone who wants to improve their lettering skills. My answer is always: practice the angles at which you hold your pen.

When you hold your pen correctly, you:

get consistent with your strokes
are able to relieve the stress from holding a pen too tightly
make thin lines thinner

When I first started, I saw this video about holding your brush pen at an angle and was thankful for it. Maybe it will help you, too.

Another quick tip: get the “right” pens.
