Lettering For Beginners | Finding Inspiration

[@Kelseykshelly]

Grocery stores for food labels.... what a simple brilliant idea!! And what a great way to make a mundane chore (and often frustration) suddenly become a source of joy and inspiration! Thanks Cindy!

[@mravenwing]

Yes please, give us your "kick our ass cause we think we're not good enough" vlog. You are right, we're only needing to be ourselves and our lettering with all its non perfect swoops is perfect...for us. Thanks so much for your lessons!

As per usual, your suggestions, encouragement, and recommendations are amazing! Thank you!!

This was a GREAT Video! You had me right at the beginning because I'm going through the same thing. I've got the supplies, but I haven't started yet. I loved all of your talk about finding inspiration.

Happy writing xx

This is awesome advice. Thank you. I was thinking you can get inspiration from anywhere really. Billboards, grocery store labels, public transportation logos, etc.

Thanks for reminding us to look somewhere besides where everybody looks. The dancing baseline thing I see all over instagram is just never going to be my thing. Lots of letterers make it look amazing, but it just doesn't come off looking natural to me. I think having a wide range of inspiration helps anyone not look like they're trying to be a clone.

I need the ass kicking video! I'm always comparing my lettering to others and it really bums me out

[@IzaBela7411]
