[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

Thank you, I’m so glad you found my videos.

[@GR_BackingTracks]

I've learned something new with every video... This time it was about the center, and how many letters and numbers hinge on that union in the middle!

[@zackapkarian2521]

Great tutorial Darla! You're an excellent teacher and provide much needed detail and explanation of why certain techniques are used!

[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

Thank you Zack. I appreciate you reaching out.

[@jarameger1394]

You did this video in one shot, that is remarkable! Your request to like your "video tape" at the end of the lesson made my day. That's really old school and I loved it... My Kafka lettering brush arrived today, so I am going to start practicing.

[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

Hello Jara- Sorry it took some time to respond to your message. I hope you are still lettering and practicing. Thank you for watching

Great work, as usual Darla! Good advice about the curved letters----I will start picking up the line farther back on my previous strokes now on O's and C's!

[@mathewwesson1566]

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me

[@mathewwesson1566]

@Dane Calvin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@mathewwesson1566]

@Dane Calvin HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED! Literally got access to my instagram account details after about 45 mins of using the site. Had to pay 15 $ but definitely worth it :) Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@danecalvin3339]

[@reyarturo9445]

Appreciate the nuances that we all encounter and puzzle us. you’ve confirmed a lot of questions in the first three videos just by talking through inadequacies that seem to be commonplace. It’s humbling as letterforms as it is,Thank you for your honesty. Subscribed!

My dear please tell if you always dip from the thinner into the paint before pallet

[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

Not always

[@TheUpsetter]

Looks like the little bar on the Q is called the tail, here is an explanation of basic strokes - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface_anatomy#Strokes

[@shredhousejr.5364]

This is great

[@dilanus]

You Rock!

[@RoadJournal]

Love You!

[@mattevans3637]

Thank you

[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

Thank you!

[@caseywojciechowski2830]

Thanks

[@Audreycartazes]

I would like to be your grandson

[@darlahagensick9228]

My grandchildren are the reason for my videos and your response makes me feel that I'm doing the right thing. My sons felt that this would be a great way of showing them what they themselves watched me do all of their youth. I never realized they were so influenced by it. None of the three picked up the craft but now have enough regrets that they want their children to be exposed to a passion so dear to their grandma. Your response has made it clear to me that I need to continue. Draw up papers of adoption and I'll take you with no hesitation.

[@idontknownuffink]

great vid as always. Should i be twisting the brush for any of these strokes?

[@zexja]

Thank you Darla!

[@darladeeshandpaintedsignsa6501]

You are so welcome!
