Projet de cours pratique
Show us your letters! The project in this class is very open-ended: share a composition with your new brush lettering. This can be as small as your name and as long as a full-page manuscript.
And tell us: which letters are the hardest for you to draw? Which are the easiest? And which do you think are the prettiest?
I look forward to seeing your work!
