Times New Ramen - part 1
I, Mod Seraphtonin, confess to loving shitposts and also typography. A while back, I made this ātimes new ramenā lettering style after seeing this text post, and I thought it would be a good idea to walk our followers through my thought process! I didnāt save all my steps on separate layers when making the original, so Iāll show you my steps with an example letter- āiā
Note that this tutorial is split into 3 parts
This is what the end result looks like:
Youāll notice that the colours I used the second timeĀ āround arenāt the same as the original. There isnāt an exact formula to help you pick the perfect colour - just keep fiddling with it until you get something that feels right
Part 1 under the cut
Lowercase cursive - the letter b (traditional version)
Obligatory disclaimer:Ā
š Note that 1) the style(s) of writing depicted here are far from the only correct way(s) to write cursive. 2) Iām not claiming that this is the One True Method or anything like that, or that I am the One True Authority on cursive. 3) This series cannot cover everything and so info you feel is important may be left out. Info IĀ feel is important will not be left out š
Hullo! Mod Seraphtonin here šø
Weāre back with the second installment of the ābasic cursiveā series- the lowercase b!Ā
Why is this post arriving so much later than that firstĀ āaā post? Well, thatās because Mod Seraph got busy and also because Mod Seraph Doesnāt Like The Letter b
Notes about accessibility:Ā
šø Youāll notice that some colours have been changed from the last timeĀ āround! I was informed that my initial colour choices were not colourblind-friendly!Ā
šøĀ 2 ābās or not 2 ābās, that is the question š (oh come on, I had to make the joke) The second letter with the lowered opacity should help make things more colourblind-friendly
šøĀ Colours used may continue to change - please feel free to let me know if you find it hard to make out some info!
The traditional ābā:
*Sighs* Yeah, this is theĀ ābā I was taught. For readers who have only learnt print, this is probably hideous, because it looks so alien compared to the print b. But, this isĀ the b I was taught and so Iāll be starting with it
(Other ways of writingĀ ābā are cominā up in future posts)
Why do I call it theĀ ātraditionalā b? Well, mostly because itās a ābā which was more common in ye olden days. I mainly see people using this style ofĀ ābā when they want the aesthetic of the older cursive script (ex: copperplate) while typographers aiming for a more modern appearance (ex: on instagram) have largely switched toĀ ābās that more closely resemble the printĀ ābā. More on that ābā laterĀ
However, Iām still a big believer in learning the basics before deviating from those, so Iāll teach thisĀ ābā before showing how itās changed as cursive has become more modernisedĀ
How to write:Ā
Oh weāre gettinā fancyĀ over here. Mod Seraph has discovered how to make gifs!
To write this, start at theĀ āTā part of the first arrow and move your pen in the direction of the arrow until you get to theĀ ā>ā. Repeat for 2, and then 3. You can choose whether to just pause between steps or lift your pen from the page altogether. It might be easier to do the latter if youāre just starting out, so you can eyeball the whole letter and make sure it still looks good
Again, the whole letter can be written in one brush stroke if you so desire. Just connect all 3 steps together in one long line. If youāre a beginner, I suggest not doing this until youāre a bit more comfortable with the letter. Youāre more liable to get a wonky character if you try to speed through itĀ
A secret to a more proportioned letter:
This is me illustrating why itās good to pause or lift your pen off the page, folks. In blue, youāll see aĀ ābā where I went straight from stroke 1 into stroke 2 without pausing or lifting my pen off the page. Youāll note that the top of theĀ ābā looks a lot... skinnier, even though I start from around the same place
Now, I wonāt say that certain ways of writing are wrong, because writing is very much made up and how one letter looks is kinda arbitrary so long as itās visually different from the other letters... That being said, I like my letters to look proportional, and that blue ābā? Itās a little bottom-heavy. Youāll also note that the line beginning the letter, brush stroke 1, needs to be at a much steeper angle, to avoid having a letter that slants too much. Thisāll be a running theme through letters such as āfā, āhā, ākā, ālā, etc, as they all have that loop at the top
Overall, I advocate for pausing after brush stroke 1 and deliberately entering into brush stroke 2 at a gentler angle, so your loop is bigger and so the top of the letter ends up more proportional compared to the bottom
See? Now yourĀ āšāĀ š looks a lot more stable!
Anchor points:Ā
As always, itās good to keepĀ āanchor pointsā in mind when writing your cursive. These are the parts of your letter which touch or come close to touching your guidelines. If you want your letter to be very neat and structured, make sure your anchor points all touch the guidelines. In order to add some character to your charactersĀ š, consider varying the anchor points! As always, cursive doesnāt have to be neat to be pretty!Ā
And, thatās all for now! Thanks for tuning inĀ š
