Creative Lettering and Beyond: Inspiring tips, techniques, and ideas for hand lettering your way to beautiful works of art by

3.0

I would recommend this book series for letterers who have some background and experience with letterforms and or art. The projects are simple and interesting, and can spark the creativity, but they make lettering/calligraphy sound “easy” to do and I feel like it would frustrate beginners to start here. If you are able to copy another’s work, this will give you plenty to work off. If you want to learn how to create from your own mind, this isn’t the best to start with.

The real value I find in these books is being introduced to a variety of Calligraphers and illustrators. Each section is written by a different artist and their studio information is in the back. It’s helpful to see how others put together and brand their businesses.
