Why is this short tutorial 1000% easier than all the “pretty hand lettering” tutorials that are out there? Thanks for breaking it down.

[@chris-piascik]

Hah glad it was helpful!

[@ShortRedCat]

I just want to say that buying your brushes was 1000000% worth it. It’s made drawing digitally more fun for me and I own other retro supply brushes but yours are the best

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks for sharing!! That’s so great to hear!

[@avengingsylph]

I have been exposed to this man's work for over a decade....Still mesmerised.

[@chris-piascik]

Hah thanks so much!

[@avengingsylph]

@@chris-piascik i used to have your work as my wallpaper when I was in University...now I am a Design Lead at a great startup in my country. You are an inspiration...I am the one supposed to thank you. Thank you, Chris!

[@irriseptember730]

idk Chris but you have that easy going attitude which inspires me every time I watch smth from you. It always feels so right! Crazy professional without that stuffy attitude. I bet you inspire a lot of people to not be scared to try! I appreciate you 🙏🏻 keep sharing you!

[@chris-piascik]

I appreciate that! Thank you :)

Just found your channel today, and immediately subscribed! Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration! Cheers from Indonesia!

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks so much!

[@tim3line]

I had no idea what lettering was until I found your channel a few months ago. I also had no idea I was already into it too. I make these weird videos animating lyrics to music and I was wondering how to improve this niche craft and your content made everything so clear. My work's improved a lot thanks to you. Didn't intend to self promo I just really wanna say how much you've helped me.

[@chris-piascik]

Oh cool! Glad my videos have been helpful!

[@robertdufour2456]

I really appreciate the hand drawn letters, that each have their own personality. Thank you for sharing your skills and experience. Much continued success!

This video is filled with great tips, thank you! I feel like you've given me permission to make my life easier.

[@ClarePatrick-Creative]

I so love your videos. They are now my "go-to" to start my day. It really feels like you are talking to 'me' and your casual conversational style makes me laugh. On top of that, your tips are amazing. You entertain while teaching. And learning should be fun! 😃😃 Thank you.

[@chris-piascik]

Oh thank you so much! That’s super nice to hear.

[@kaszut]

Watching your videos gives me always a great pleasure, similar to watching good cooking shows. The ones where someone makes everything look so elegant and effortless that I end up thinking: oh, that souffle stuffed with goose liver mousse lookes totaly doable, I should try that. Seriously though - very inspiring!

[@chris-piascik]

Haha thanks so much!!

[@antunelez7250]

Your videos are super informative, engaging and entertaining! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, Chris. I just recently started illustrating in Adobe Fresco and by watching your videos I learned a lot and fell in love with this new hobby of mine. Big up! 👌🏻✌🏻🙂

This reminded me of mimicking the cool NBA team names they were putting on the hats in the 90s. Great tips, Chris!

[@EddieCortado]

After I googled, its the 90s graffiti type look. If only we could go back in time and re-design those!!!

[@chris-piascik]

Cool, thanks!

Fantastic video, reminds of all the ways to move an idea forward when I just cannot get the lettering right. And I kinda wish I didn't already have all the brushes you've curated from Retro...

@@chris-piascik i’ve never done that before, so I hope I did it right, it’s from the bling fling, that’s me, and I was able to do that modest animation because of you:) I used a combination of Adobe Fresco, illustrator, Photoshop…

Are you asked for vector lettering?

If your eyelids make that noise, even intermittently, you should probably see a doctor.

[@chris-piascik]

lol I don’t remember what this is in reference to but it sounds ridiculous

[@addammadd]

Just some feedback, not sure it will matter. I was going to use this video to give my kid some inspiration but being saturated with self-promotion, I decided to leave this comment and select “don’t recommend this channel.”

[@chris-piascik]

What? Are you responding to me showing examples of how I’ve used these techniques in work for clients to show how it can applied in real world situations?

Nice video. What software and hardware (tablet) are you using in this video?
