I have been spending some time making free-hand copies of Christmas-y lettering designs that I found on Pinterest. It’s so fun! I just use my sketch book paper and an inky pen and try to imitate the design. I recommend trying it, you might be surprised at how easy it can be to make words look fancy!
I find it works best for me if I just take it little by little. Since I’m drawing something that has already been designed, I don’t have to think about the layout. So that means I can draw one or two letters at a time and not worry that I’m going to run off the page. Underneath each picture I provided the link to where I got the design inspiration from. (Note: these are not affiliate links, they are just for your reference.) Enjoy!
I really enjoy making these drawings and I highly recommend browsing through Pinterest and trying some designs! I bought some plain note cards and I’ve been making a few Christmas cards for my friends and family. My art doesn’t come out perfect, but I have a good time doing it and that’s what counts. The only way to get better is to keep trying and not to get discouraged by how it looks now. I wrote this in my sketch book yesterday: art is anything.
Thanks for reading!
