r/handlettering

just tried to recreate this lettering type & im definitely overthinking it. especially the slant of the capital “A” lol. what specific books have tips on changing the axis of serif lettering? I looked through the lettering manual by Ken barber and unless I missed it I don’t think there was a lot about this.

On my quest to find adequate black paper to practice on using my acrylic brush nibs, I discovered black wrapping paper. It's a little slippery, slow drying, and the super slick surface isn't the best for holding colors, but it does a decent job, good enough for practice, colors definitely pop and much, much cheaper than Bristol paper, or most all the other black alternatives with a smooth enough surface. I'm not totally sold though. So, If any of you have any better alternatives for black practice paper I'm all ears.

I love teal in black

I made this shirt and r/typography didn’t like it, hoping yall might
