Artful Alphabets - 55 Inspiring Hand Lettering Techniques and Ideas

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher --- Create uniquely artful words with secrets from Joanne Sharpe! Joanne Sharpe--author of the popular book The Art of Whimsical Lettering--has gathered together 55 of her favourite hand-drawn alphabets for this light-hearted collection. Follow simple illustrated steps to replicate each style...no lengthy instructions or extensive practice required. Any "imperfections" only add to their charm! Try your hand at letterforms inspired by feathers, flowers, postage stamps, vintage type, doodles, taxi cabs, chalkboards and more. Equally exciting are the variety of media used, from coloured pencils and markers to paints and inks. Looking to add an artful touch to the world around you? These letters are perfect for personalizing anything from family calendars and daily planners to wall art, art journals, cards and one-of-a-kind gifts. You can even use the techniques and inspiration in this book to invent completely original alphabets of your own. With this A to Z guide, there's no limit to the statements you can make! Awesome alphabets--55 in all, ranging from a basic block and stick letters to fanciful illustrated fonts. Beginner-friendly instructions--Each alphabet is broken down into just a few simple steps. A creative variety of tools and media--pens, markers, brushes, inks, paints, coloured pencils, fountain pens, cardstock and much more. As an artist in my off-librarian time, I am always looking for new ideas about lettering as I was not sure how to move beyond my stuck-in-a-rut style of lettering. This book opened a tonne of doors that I can wander through while doing my art or doing signs in the library. Adults and tweens/teens would enjoy and be able to create from this book - thanks for the opportunity to read and review it!
