Signwriting progress
Nov. 9th, 2022 09:15 pmSo, I started a signwriting course at the very beginning of September this year. It's a year long online course taught by video, with a Facebook group where you can ask questions and a bunch of worksheets that you can print out, in order to paint over them and learn how to control the brush that way.
The guy who teaches it learned his craft with a three year long City and Guilds course, and says that his teachers learned via the traditional apprenticeship that lasted five years. So I feel that having done it for three months, not an awful lot can be expected of me.
Still, I've practiced every day for at least an hour a day since I started, and I think you can see the difference :)
Two signpainting exercises, one done on 8/9/22 and one done on 8/11/22
About two weeks ago I was feeling horribly frustrated and did not want to go on at all because I thought I was rubbish and not improving at all. (Script lettering, ugh, it's the bane of my life.) But looking at these two exercises, I think maybe I am getting somewhere after all.
