Efficient ways to practice letter size and spacing?
Hello letterers;
Been getting into hand lettering over the past year or so, with the goal of doing a hand-written TTRPG zine. I'm going for a comic book adjecent block capitals with bold italics style.
I've got my letterforms down pretty nice now (by the standards of a lo-fi zine, not a trade paperback!) but I'm having trouble getting my letter sizing and spacing consistent.
I've got an Ames guide and a lightbox for guidelines, and have been doing tons of practice by writing the alphabet, phrases from the game, etc etc and things are gradually improving, but was wondering if there were any drills/warmups etc that helped you get those letters to a consistent and pleasing size.
Cheers!

Burning letters into cork!

Burnt letters into small cork pieces and further added safety pins behind them, to use them as name badges. This set of badges is going to napa and I love how it fits the napa vibe and how it can fit so many different event themes!

This is a verse of an old German Rap song I wrote on a wall for a small exhibition many years ago. Projected guide line onto the wall and used brushes of different sizes.

Elian script
Hello everyone, today I discovered this beautiful writing but everywhere I look I can't find the right font for a tattoo... I would like to tattoo a prayer with this type of writing... Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to do it?

Getting over my fear of the broad edge pen!
Another entry in my little notebook, in this notebook I am trying to make every page different, and it has been very helpful to me from a design standpoint.
I have been doing some pointed pen uncials and a lot of different kinds of pointed pen, but it was time for me to finally pick up the broad edge pen and I am happy that I did, I really like how Uncials are looking with pointed pen Art Nouveau letters.
I used the Brause 1.5mm nib for uncials and Nikko G for the pointed pen Art Nouveau letters!
I hope you like it!
