Brush Lettering: Alphabet Basics is a great resource for learning to build letters with brush pens. Before you know it, you'll be up and running, creating a balanced, dimensional alphabet!

Alphabet Basics will take you through a tutorial on a few ways to create each letter of the alphabet. The focus in this class is on lowercase letters. After discovering the basic strokes of brush pens, this class will guide you through how those strokes apply in each letter's creation.

There are a few brush pens that I recommend to get started (you only need one):

Kuretake Pocket Brush Pen - Works best for very small lettering
Tombow Fudenosuke Hard Tip - Works best for small to medium lettering
Tombow Fudenosuke Soft Tip - Works best for small to medium lettering
Pentel Touch Sign Pen - Works best for medium lettering

Each of these brush pens will be sufficient for the same lettering size that we will be using, but will vary in thickness.

For additional practice, I offer practice sheets that cover ten different lettering styles for both lowercase and uppercase letters here.

This class is a branch off of 4 Easy Steps to Modern Calligraphy and Brush Lettering: The Beginner's Guide. If you are brand new to brush lettering, I recommend enrolling in those first two classes to get you prepped for brush lettering the alphabet.
