This practical guide gives you the freedom to be fast. It includes eight lettering styles that are designed to be learned quickly and used to letter with markers on paper in realtime in front of your client.<br /> <br /> Each chapter of <em>Lettering Journey</em> starts with a short story of how the lettering style was inspired, a list of suggested markers to use, the best use of the style (when and where), and attributes of each style. Some styles include a ductus--showing the direction and order of each stroke, written at 100% and in grey so that you can see how the strokes join and cross.
