LETTER C
For me the letter c and also the letter o can sometime make or break a lettering
job. One of the biggest problems when first starting out is to lean the letter to the
right or left, or just not doing it evenly. You will notice I made a guide line with a felt
pen first. The goal in practice is to do any of these strokes by just painting in the
lines, this builds brush control. When you do a lettering project it is best to make
a light sketch for a guide. The letter is also broken down by the arrows. Arrow one
is first stroke, arrow two is the second. After finishing step one over lap the brush
strokes in step 2. The key is to do the overlaps and not get wider or narrow in the
process. The letter c should look like a single stroke. On paper it’s very hard to make
it perfect as the paper wants to wrinkle quickly. Be sure doing any type of rounded
strokes to rotate the brush between your fingers, do not hold the brush rigid.
