About the event:
In this workshop I will show you how you can create letters using a broad edge or flat brush. This technique is great especially for beginners, because it provides a solid foundation for learning brush control and understanding how letters are constructed. While you can use various tools for this method, I will focus on the foam brush to demonstrate the steps. The foam brush is a great choice because it is affordable and easy to find.
Join me for a comprehensive presentation and hands-on demo where I’ll walk you through these concepts step by step. We’ll write together, I’ll answer your questions in real time.
Included:
You’ll get the digital copy of my 50-page comic-inspired Big Fat Letters (VOL1) Workbook, filled with detailed info and clear breakdowns to guide you along the way. It also comes with worksheets and Procreate Brushes. (Please note: if you already have the workbook you can use the code at the end of the book to get a discount on this workshop!)
What you will learn:
You will learn to control the brush, use different types of strokes to build letters, experiment with those techniques, and create dense compositions. This technique teaches you a lot about the basics of brush control and letter constructions.
What tools you need:
Brush:
- A broad foam brush (Any size. I recommend a 2.5cm one)
Foam brushes are quite flexible when it comes to the ink and paper.
Ink:- (My choice) Watercolor (e.g. liquid watercolor by Ecoline)
- Writing Ink / Drawing Ink
- Gouache
- Acrylic paint (diluted)
- (My choice) Watercolor paper (hot pressed)
- For practice, I use any smooth paper I can find.
- Literally any paper—depends on the medium you're working with.
This workshop is for:
- Newcomers to lettering who want to build strong foundational skills using a clear, tool-based approach
- Lettering hobbyists and amateurs looking to gain more control, confidence, and understanding of letter construction using broad-edge tools
- Experienced letterers interested in adding big fat letters to their stylistic range and learn about complex compositions.
- Designers and illustrators who want to get hands-on with letterform creation to better integrate letters into their work
- Anyone curious about brush lettering techniques who wants a low-cost, low-barrier way to explore letters using simple, accessible tools
