How to draw lettering for tattoos with BJ Betts & Russ Abbott

Join BJ Betts and Russ Abbott for a live chat about how to draw lettering! BJ explains how he uses his iPad to sketch tattoo designs, how he makes lettering style choices, and what design elements make a lettering tattoo stand out. BJ and Russ take submissions from the audience to give feedback and expert opinion on various lettering, script, and calligraphy designs. BJ also gives us a Procreate tutorial with his Tattoo Smart brush sets, Words to the Wise and Penmanship. The guys go into detail how BJ went from Procreate beginner to avid user, why these brush sets were made, and how they can be used for reference and to practice lettering techniques. Use these lessons and tools to go from beginner to expert in free hand lettering!

My first apprenticeship always said, practice lettering and roses, you get those two the most as a BJ Betts drawing guides 2, 3, and 4. We're shoved in my face with tracing paper. Inspiring lettering artist, pioneer in custom lettering. Thx BJ Betts for sharing your skills with guides to unlocking the world of lettering.💯👊

This is killer and deserves way more views. Thank you for doing it. I'm buying my first iPad and have been a fan of Betts for a long time. Can't wait to get started with this.

It’s so cool, as humans we can paint our skin. And put artwork on us. A zebra cannot change its stripes. But we can 💕

I really like the idea of only 3 words on a banner! That helps me in my own craft of card making! Thanks, son!

how does he change from the brush to the eraser right on the fly? it looks like the double finger tap to undo but I can't see what it really is

[@Tattoosmart]

Yes if you double tap your Apple Pencil it will switch between the brush and eraser.
