Product Details Welcome to Hand-Drawn Typography 101. This course is designed for anyone interested in learning how to make their own hand-drawn font. Even if you've uttered the famous words; "I can't draw", this course is for you. We will cover the most basic fundamentals of drawing and then learn how to use those skills to make more complex shapes and figures with an emphasis on making hand-drawn typography.
In this class we will explore the basic foundations of what a font is, and more importantly how do we begin to make our own.
What You'll Learn
- Inspiration. You will be challenged to draw outside the box and start keeping a sketchbook with you at all times.
- Sketch it Out. You will draw the letters and numbers that will make up your new hand-drawn font, challenging you to develop your own sense of style.
- Creating Your Vector. You we will take your new hand-drawn font that you've sketched out and learn how to scan it in the computer and vectorize it.
What You'll Make
We will also talk about what the different styles of fonts are. You will see that even though there are thousands of other fonts out there, by finding your own unique style you will be able to create something that is one-of-a-kind. But most of all, I want my students to take away the realization that drawing should be fun. By the end of this class you'll walk away with a distinct font to create worlds with.
