Handmade fonts really feel like there was a lot of time and effort put into them.

I agree with you that a class would be so helpful to find out how to do something that cool. I had just asked John in class the other day how people do things like that and I was surprised it was mostly hand made. It looks so beautiful and perfect I definitely thought it was done on a computer! It makes me happy though because sometimesEmily Baker-Slamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303253439705461399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709221870280923445.post-20533580422767401292013-02-08T14:51:50.749-08:002013-02-08T14:51:50.749-08:00This was so good!

I know I can't do it with the precision of the examples above so I take a more illustrative approach to it.<br /><br />The thing that I love about hand drawn work is that you can see that it comes from another person. You can tell where something may be just slightly off. That's where the beauty is in it.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938931450309403133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709221870280923445.post-56465872789546357462013-02-08T13:44:30.731-08:002013-02-08T13:44:30.731-08:00I can't imagine all of the skill these people ...I can't imagine all of the skill these people must posses and the steady hand to create needed to make in successful. This reminds me of a great etsy page I found that has a creation of a word within the folded pages of a book, granted its not handwritten, but I like the development of a typeface without the means of computers.

I would love to know how to hand draw type and whip up something out of air effortlessly. I don't know but maybe in the future I'll dedicate myself to such a great skill.

I feel like if there was a class on this it would force me to try it more because the only way to get better is with practice; yet i find it extremely discouraging when trying to start at my level of "skill" with this art.
