It was just over seven years ago that James Lewis had the realization that his handwriting was, in his own words, terrible. So at that moment, he devoted himself to improve it, to the point that he’s now a full-time illustrator, specialized in calligraphy and lettering, working with clients like Pepsi, Amazon, Montblanc, the BBC, and more. How’s that for improvement?
In this course, James will teach you everything you need to know to begin your brush lettering practice. You’ll receive all of his techniques and information that will allow you to develop your own custom letters and words.
By reviewing world-famous logos and understanding how they’re made, you’ll develop the skillset to design the most recognized logotypes of the future.
Description

Through practice, you will understand all that goes into making a hand-lettered logotype with the brush and brush pen. Explore the tools you need, one by one, as well as the theory, and the differences between calligraphy, hand lettering, and type design.
