I struggle with shadows when there is a horizontal line, such as in a large flourish. When to cut off the shadow and resume on the other side always gets me. I think I figure it out in the moment and then later in the project realize I did it wrong and the whole thing looks off and I get mad for messing up and having to do it all over.

I purchased your book last weekend at Michael's. I began reading it and now I'm obsessed with your social sites. I have always been really into writing cursive, my friends always compliment my writing and lettering is something I've always wanted to do and thanks to your videos and tutorials I feel ready. Would you mind sharing how this has been a source of income for you? My mind can't wrap itself around the fact that I can make an income doing something I absolutely love

Ooh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear!! I think it depends if you want to sell lettering pieces or do calligraphy for weddings or teach and make courses. There are so many things you can do and there’s no wrong way. It takes time to learn what you love so don’t be afraid to try all the things. My business has gone through so many iterations!! Here’s a video I made a while ago about my experience: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abeIoptly82WpHk.html It’s probably time to make a new video like this!

I notice some of your under is going up to the left too, but looks great. So is downstream and under or to the right of everything and under? Thanks for your input.

@EnsignInsights 3 жыл бұрын

You may have to give me a specific example! I wonder if some of the places going up to the left is when I'm gradually ending the shadow? Because you don't want a really harsh cut off. Does that answer it?
