A "font" of information on lettering styles
"The Art of Whimsical Lettering" is an artful instruction book
on creating stylized fonts and expressive artwork with personal
handwriting skills. Author Joanne Sharpe shows you how to create
exuberant and personalized writing styles for your artwork whether
it be a journal, canvas art, or other projects that use text.
After an overview of Joanne's favorite tools and surfaces, take
a peek into Joanne's personal lettering journal to discover how you
too can collect inspiration, hone your lettering skills, and tap
into your natural creativity. Joanne then demonstrates twenty art
techniques for creating a variety of lettering styles using many
different tools. She provides you with fifteen basic alphabets,
ranging from simple pen-and-ink renditions to increasingly
elaborated texts that reference calligraphy, vintage fonts, and
doodle art, among other styles. Joanne also teaches you how to turn
prosaic lettering into page art itself, merging text into
illustration, or ornamenting words with decorative drawings."
