The Art of Brush Lettering A meditative approach to creating print and script, freestyle, and other special effects. Exercise: Lowercase f When it comes to the lowercase f, we have a combination of an ascender loop and descender loop combined in one stroke; however, the descender loop is reversed and drawn on the right side of the downstroke, not the left. 1. I often draw my letter f with the entrance stroke as an integral part of a diagonal upstroke to create that ascender loop, but you can also draw them separately. 2. There are many variations of the height of the letter f and its extension below the baseline. Usually, my f does not reach the cap line, and the top of the ascender loop is between the waistline and the cap line. Similarly, my descender loop part of the f does not quite reach the descender line either. 3. When the reverse descender loop comes back up, I draw it to meet the downstroke at the baseline. 4. Then, I exit with a light upstroke to the right. Also includes instructions on: Special effects Drawing lines beside your strokes and letters is the easiest way to create an illusion of depth and dimension. Many hand lettering artists creatively use drop shadows in every way imaginable to help make their designs pop, or come to life. Flourishing Flourishes can be written around the space of the word and letters just to add decoration. Bouncy lettering To create a more dramatic look, you can raise other letters above the baseline. In fact, a common term to describe modern calligraphy is bouncy lettering. You can see why the word bounce is used to describe this style—the letters appear to be bouncing up and down like a ball.
