It’s been almost a year since the Brush Letter Practice Guide website has officially closed. While I don’t plan to re-open the shop as it was, I might consider bundling the old worksheets and putting them up for sale at some point in the future.
In the meantime, there are tons of other creators and shops you can visit to get your lettering fix.
To start, one of my favorite creators, Dawn Nicole has a brush lettering guide for sale.
The Brush Calligraphy Guide + Workbook
Format: PDF eBook
Contents: 76 pages + 3 Video Tutorials
Use the practice worksheets over and over again! Not only can you use them for daily practice, I highly recommended using them every time you get a new style or brand of brush pen or marker so you can get used to that brush pen’s nuances and style.
