I really liked this book about handlettering, as it gives you a lot of good tips on how to improve your handlettering or what you need to know as a complete beginner. I also liked that the author first explains some basic fonts and you can practise them and then goes on with words and whole quotes. Those were in different languages, which I liked very much. One of many handlettering workbooks, but definitely one I can recommend!

Hand Lettering by Abbey Sy

Essential Instruction and 80+ Worksheets for Modern and Classic Styles—Easy Tear-Out Practice Sheets for Alphabets, Quotes, and More

Pages full of information and practice sheets similar to those seen in elementary school allow the reader of this book to hand letter with or without serifs, bounce words and embellish with flair. There is a bit of history and terminology along with techniques and tools that provided at least a few new ideas for me to use when next I take up my pen to letter something interesting either in a letter or an art project.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rockport Publishingfor the ARC – This is my honest review.

4 Stars

I love books like this! I can spend hours trying to hand letter. It is art and it’s relaxing to work on. I only had the digital book to look at but will be buying this book. It would be a great resource.

This book is a great way to jump into becoming an expert at hand lettering. I like the examples, especially the flourishes at the end. I can't wait to buy this book. It will make a great gift for teens and adults.

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Hand Lettering A to Z Workbook is the companion book to Hand Lettering A to Z. If purchased without prior knowledge of hand lettering, or the previous book, this workbook would not provide enough information to guide you through the drills. With that being said, this workbook is pretty awesome. There are tear out practice pages for 6 different lettering styles (simple serif, serif, simple sans serif, serif, swash serif, and script) including numbers and punctuation, bounced lettering, flourishing, embellishments and a section to trace inspirational quotes.

I love brush lettering and cannot wait to work on the flourishing drills.
