How to Airbrush Script Writing - Lettering Basics

[@WaioluUkulele]

Hey Greg, just wanted to say that I’ve been wanting to try airbrushing since the 80’s but never did. I finally decided to give it a go and I’ve watched a lot of videos on the subject. Well, I was almost going to give up until I seen your videos. Just wanted to say that you are the best at explaining and giving examples. Hats off my friend you are a GREAT teacher!!!

I don't think I've seen anyone do a better representation of a drop shadow on lettering. You didn't swap colors and re-write the whole name like most artists do. Yes I know most people want that contrast and pop when they get a shirt. But you showed the best way to start doing lettering for a novice and your shadowing did what it was meant to do. It added depth to your work and made it look like the letters were raised off the surface. Thanks for sharing your talent. Awesome job.

Good video! Best explanation of script that I come across so far. Thanks!

[@GregsAirbrush]

Thanks for watching! Glad this video helped!

[@johntrucano5767]

Enjoyed the video. I'm taking lessons and the thin to thick has been difficult for me to master, but I do see improvement. Patience, persistence, & practice are the keys to becoming a good airbrush artist.

[@GregsAirbrush]

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed the video, and your right. Patience and practice is key. Doing the (open and closed circles)-curly Q's... that's what I call them helped me out a lot. I'm going to do another video on thick and thin stokes this weekend. Every little bit helps, right?

[@johntrucano5767]

Hey Greg, can you make a video with entire alphabets in different fonts?

[@GregsAirbrush]

John Trucano Of course! We will create a few tutorials on Script Lettering and Brush Stroke Lettering as well as a few other popular lettering styles using the entire alphabet.

[@johngarcia3485]

that was an awesome video it was really helpful but why don't you never mention what airbrush needle and air pressure your using to airbrush

This is gonna sound so arrogant, but I hope you take this as it’s meant.... You’re the first person I’ve met who can do lettering as good as myself. Someone sent me a link because it’s something Everyone remembers about me, I guess. When the other kids were out playing street hockey and basketball, my grandmother had my older brother and I inside doing our letters. 1 page of each. Capitals on the front. Lower Case on the back. College ruled. Minimum 30 per line. If there were 3 or more that weren’t to standard on a line, you had to redo the line. For YEARS, till it was drilled into us. Then calligraphy classes and later lettering in art school for both of us. He’s a comic book artist today, and I spent 20 years as a photorealistic portrait artist... but lately been doing more automotive airbrushing. What you say is correct. It’s practice and muscle memory. And it’s about seeing the artistry in each letter. I use the letter “a” as my standard usually with script, as the variations can cover most of the alphabet. I see you probably do, also. Hence why Amanda Is a good practice word. Just got a kick out of seeing someone else take pride in it. Good job and best of luck! Side note: don’t ya love it when in daily life you have to write someone you don’t know a list (especially women) and they stare at the paper before going, “YOU wrote this? The handwriting? Seriously? That’s your NORMAL handwriting? How....”. Practice. Years and years of practice, and being a perfectionist.

[@aimantroyehh]

What the size of nozzle you use for lettering?

[@feralgaming5262]

what kind of paint u using it flows soo easy thru ur air brush mine dont do that

[@oohlalaviva]

Very helpful videos! Thanks so much!

[@jeffleblanc8850]

I find a lot of guys that do script over do it with the drop shadows the open and close is very hard but if you practice a lot you will get it look at Jamie Rodriguez he had script down to a fine art god Rest his soul I have not seen no one better with script or any kind of writing for that mater he was awesome at it all he says is practice this dude is also very good at it it takes a lot to master I’m a tattoo artist for the last 35 years and I just decided a while ago I want to learn to airbrush and I’m gonna do it just have to be persistent and keep on practising good video

[@southpawje]

You want to know what’s sad? They don’t even teach handwriting with the lines for heights like that in schools anymore. And forget about cursive or script, they don’t teach that either

[@GregsAirbrush]

I know, right? I'm glad my kids know how, its a lot art.

[@danaanderson5896]

What about the air pressure?

[@GregsAirbrush]

+Riccardo Gatt Ellis Hi Riccardo, your air pressure should be around 35-45 psi. Now your psi will change depending on your surf.

[@mrbigg7255]

Very cool

[@BrianTheweirdbeard]

This was a great video, now my only hurdle is being dyslexic af

[@junkyardjydk]

As you can see I didn’t rush it… you damn show off

[@TheUpsetter]

The A should be a capital A not a lower case a' .
