SUMMARY: [From BN] If you follow Chalkfulloflove (also known as Sarah!) on social media, you and thousands of others already know how adorable her hand-lettered creations are. With Hand Lettering 101, Sarah brings her fabulous Hand Lettering 101 workshop right to you with this beginner workbook! In this book, you will go over the basics on how to learn Sarah's fun style of faux calligraphy. This book will guide you through each letter of the lower case alphabet, go over her technique behind connecting letters, give tips on how to mix and match your fonts, and finally lead you to make six finished projects! This is an introduction, so no experience is needed! Since practice is key, this gold spiral bound workbook lays flat and provides tons of opportunities for practice! Chalkfulloflove was created to encourage, inspire and make you giggle, so just pour yourself a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and settle in to start your own unique, adorable lettering creations!
THOUGHTS: This book is most definitely a 101. The lessons are incredibly basic and so is the information. That said, the contents are well-presented. The introductory and theory material are a good crash-course in hand lettering. The examples and lessons are straightforward and the examples are easy to follow. The spiral binding makes this book quite useful when it comes to practice. As a beginner in hand lettering, I look forward to referring to this book during my practice.
RATING: 7/10 [Very Good]
