brushes and brush pens to make exquisite letter forms. It's a beautiful, free spirited style that, once you've cracked the basics, you can add your unique personality to. The book is divided by type of media, with each section containing a set of exercises to help you get used to the pen or brush, an alphabet and a set of numbers to copy, and an example quote in the lettering style.
