Lettering a traditional auto shop sign - SCRIPT & SHADOW - The art of SIGN PAINTING (Signwriting) 

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Abstract 66

Thanks darran!

Thanks again Masha, In this video the paper has faint markings for the lettering, as the wording was designed beforehand. So it's not entirely from my head.

Please do! It's a brand new channel that I will be uploading weekly for, so there will be lots stuff to come! Hopefully some bigger and cooler stuff too

That's really exciting! Good on ya man! I'm not on any social media but i have shared this with all of my muralist/graffiti/typography peers! I told them to tell you that i sent you. Hopefully they will start to fill your subs!!! Oh, and thank you for the led zeppelin video... They are definitely my wife's favorite band and it gave me a chance to watch something with her that we were both excited about... It's not very often i get the chance to say " you wanna watch someone draw letters with me...?" The Bill's Auto was impressive! You hit those shadows like it was nothing. Very impressed. Let's see how many people i can get to check this out... Because i love it! When i can't do art, for whatever reason, I'm watching someone do their's. Thanks again for the content!

Thanks Greg

Hi mate, Don't show a lot of that stage on the early video's. I'm posting more videos showing drawn letters and designs and have a few cool ideas in the pipeline you may really like!

My pleasure!

Thanks so much Lorenzo! Real nice to hear.

Thanks Sammy.

I'll definitely have a look at that mate!

Truth be told, i normally don't.make a drawing for that if I'm paintjng script by hand. With this piece it is a design I made on pc so I thought to add that.

@@theletterhead does this mean you don’t use guidelines? If so how do you ensure you keep the baseline and letters even? I’m impressed

Thanks mate, I use that or mineral spirits mostly.

Thanks Daniel, Really glad your into lettering too and that you get something from the videos, best advice I can give is to follow some of the groups that post about this stuff. They always have really useful info and questions on there. Good luck pal!

Hey again, Yeah I remember missing it on my first coat, I think maybe I wanted to use a smaller brush, but I do have the WORST memory known to man so don't entirely remember. The pictures in the end show it, so I painted it in at some point, but yeah it doesn't show it in the video.

Lol I thought the same thing but did notice it was there in the end. Really great work tho! I subscribed!

Hi josh, I really like the the ronan paints. Well most of them. They dry quick, flow well and cover like 1shot. Only thing is I've noticed is it can't be gilded with due to the quick drying. Some colours are better than others. I tried a green and it sucked. But most greens I try aren't the best.

Hi Rayanna, Font sheets can be useful for certain fonts if your learning to recall from memory. They will show you the order for the strokes too. I'm not sure of there is a great deal for fonts like this though. I took this font and edited it beforehand to make the drawing for this. If you can get a printout of all the letters from a font you like you may be able to redraw it with your own spin.

@@theletterhead Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! This is helpful to begin my journey. Wow! It sounds like you customized a pre-existing font. The sign came out wonderfully ( I'm certain you're aware ) Thank you, again.

Thanks. I'm in the process of making some fonts sheets for the channel. Not really sure how it will all work at the moment though. 😅

Hi mate, I use paint thinner to clean my brushes. But then use motor oil to keep them stored.

It is a synthetic brush based on a sable brush. Fairly hard but does not hold a great deal of paint.

Hi Howard, I will do a lot more talking in coming video's. I'm not used to talking in these at all so it's a learning curve.

Probably not the best use of music, but I was pretty new then.
