I don’t think I’ll ever get the results with iPad lettering that I do with pen and paper ... but I’m improving. Anyway, it’s your standard post about upcoming classes in Melbourne! Going to do a full day of calligraphy magic - starting with the basics and miniscule, and working on capitals in the afternoon. I would love to have you for half or all. Link in profile, or just go to www.calligraphybymoya.com.au/workshops! . You don’t need to bring anything (but you’re welcome to bring your fave oblique holder) - class kit includes paper, ink, nibs, and, for the morning class, a @luis.creations mOblique holder, because I love them. ❤️😅 . (If you come for the full day, or actually any time you book more than one class at once, so if you bring a friend, then use code MORETHEMERRIER for a discount!) . Also, I’m looking around at my options for venues to teach in. Any cool suggestions? . Happy Friday everyone! I’m working on so many things and I’m running behind on so many things. I think I need a holiday to recover from my Brisbane holiday. Isn’t that always the way! . #calligraphy #calligraphyclass #calligraphyclasses #melbourne #melbourneartists #handlettering #handwriting #writebyhand #typegang #lovemyjob #calligraphyteacher #melbourne_insta #letternerd #handlettering #traditionalcalligraphy #copperplateclasses #comeplaywithme (at Brunswick, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjQQ77F03o/?igshid=1ukuzrzdjwoey

By @kirikirei for today’s Goodtype Tuesday! ・・・ I’ve been listening to alotta things, but @leon has been on repeat (the only reason I listen to new music is because of @zacschwiet). Here is one of my faves, “You and I” lettered for this week’s #GoodtypeTuesday challenge. When I look back at the summer of 2020, this album, among other things 😆, will come to mind! . . . . . . . @goodtype #GoodTypeTunes #leonmusic #goodtype #strengthinletters #typography #letteringchallenge #typechallenge #customlettering #letternerd #lettering #drawinglettering #drawingletters #letteringpractice #letteringinspiration #designspiration #dailytype #artoftype #typematters #handlettered #ilovetype #typespire #thedesigntip #customletters #letteringco #customdrawn #letteringartist #showusyourtype #letteringdesign #digitallettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwqQ0xpk40/?igshid=182mw16li1xjd

So thrilled about how many of you out there are using letteringmaker.com, and to see that many of you find it useful! I handpicked a few of them (featured here @_c_o_n_t_o, @raymawst, @fedebiagioli, @tcastiglionidg, @andre.letters, @roninmorel). In case you don't know about it, the lettering maker is essentially a brief generator for your lettering piece, that allows you to have a starting point for your drawing, while encouraging you to try new, unexplored styles and shapes. Head to www.letteringmaker.com to check it out. This is how to use it:⠀ ⠀ 1- Create your brief: Choose a complexity level BEGINNER, ADVANCED and PRO. You’ll get a series of specifications to draw (like how heavy your letters should be, how wide, etc) including a text, so no time go into thinking what to draw. The complexity and length of the text is related to the difficulty level as well. As you move up on to the next levels, you’ll get more specifications to deal with, like an application (book cover, poster, etc.), and audience (kids, millenials, LGBT+ Community, etc.), a color scheme and more!⠀ ⠀ 2- Set up a deadline: I find this point essential. Commit to have it done in two hours, 2 days, 3 weeks. The truth is that it’ll never be finished, there’s always something to improve. You need to know when you’re going to be done, even if it’s not done ;). You can print your brief and with the deadline, too, and even sign on it!⠀ ⠀ 3- Share it!: show your work using #myletteringmaker.⠀ ⠀ I'll be asking for your suggestions to add more texts to letter soon. You may also want to have a look to @homsweethom’s https://wtfshouldiletter.com, a phrase generator that is just 👌🏼 ⠀⠀ #letteringtool #letternerd #letteringeducation #martinaflorteaching #lettering #drawinglettering #drawingletters https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hX50uqCfF/?igshid=1hrded7cc9xqe
