SkrallSkrall: Came with water damage and the pages are all stuck together. However I'm still keeping it because the main parts are fine. It looks like it has a large variety of nice fonts, and I like that they give you creative challenges to practice.

Rekart Photography: I have been practicing every other day. It is fun and enjoyable. I love learning how to do new letters. This is the perfect booklet of you are looking to learn several different calligraphy letters. You will want to add traceable paper with this purchase as they only give you a few. I give this a 10 out of 10.

EstherEsther: The media could not be loaded.  Un gran libro de Lettering, a todo color, muy buena encuadernación y muy buen papel. Está en inglés, pero no importa, porque tampoco tiene mucho texto. El libro es más práctica y proyectos que otra cosa, y lo puedes seguir perfectamente porque es muy visual, con fotos de todo lo que necesitas y de todos los pasos a seguir. Muy fácil de entender todo. Contiene 20 alfabetos distintos en Mayúsculas y Minúsculas y hojas de práctica. También hay 2 páginas donde te ánima a que crees tu propio alfabeto. Luego hay 4 cartulinas gruesas, por una cara hay el diseño de ella y por la otra cara solo a color (cada cartulina de un color distinto) y están perforadas para poder extraerlas y poder utilizarlas. Luego tiene diferentes proyectos que puedes hacer con muchas imágenes visuales de los pasos a realizar, muy fáciles de entender y poder seguir. Los proyectos que propone son: Customizar un portapapeles "Clipboard" - Customizar Fotografías, marco de fotos - Hacer tu propia taza - Crear notas de agradecimiento - Como transformar un papel simple a un papel bonito para felicitar un cumpleaños. Están muy bien estos proyectos porque te da...

Abigail: Muy buen libro, es necesario practicar aparte en un cuaderno, ya que no es suficiente con hacer los ejercicios del libro. Pero ellos te dan lo necesario para iniciarte. Lo único que no me gustó es que te enseñan alfabetos completos y esta muy bien, pero mi problema real es a la hora de unir las letras, nunca te enseñan si hay una forma correcta o tips para escribir cursiva una palabra.

Jenna Rose: This draw as you go book Has great instruction. Pages and pages of lessons to trace , copy and really in depth practice the craft of artistic hand lettering . The pages are great to photocopy and practice over and over again to train your eye and have the muscle memory of the motions to craft the lettering . I found the process very similar to a drawing how to book which I loved about it , it felt less stuffy more creative and organic .
I love how everything is in this soft cover book , very portable great to throw in your bag and practice in your downtime wherever you may be - a waiting room perhaps ? Your time will fly by and you will be less disgruntled using wasted time for now something creative and productive. As I go through the book I see the improvement and feel more confident in getting the skills down to create beautiful lettering that I can apply on projects to come ! If you’re an artist this is a great skill to finesse and have in your back pocket . Hand lettering is a great asset to have along with drawing , painting , surface design , textile design , as a creator and an artist!

Holly P: This book is the best hand lettering book I’ve tried so far. It starts with 21 pages of typical intro to paper, materials and hand lettering basics and a gallery of example layouts/projects. Then it gets into the pages with the 20 different styles/alphabets. Each style Includes suggested uses, a page each of traceable letters for the upper and lower case, and a page each showing the directions and order of the strokes for the upper and lower case. Intermingled in these pages are 4 exercises on turning non-serif letters into serif, mixing and matching styles, adding flourishes, and creating your own alphabet. This is followed by 4 removable pages of lettering art. The book wraps up with detailed instructions for 5 projects, lined practice pages and vellum paper for tracing.
