this is the architects neighborhood volume1. how to write like an architect. im doug patt. the basic drafting tool for an architectwhen working by hand is a parallel rule. you can also use a t-square. ill be using an ameslettering guide to create the lines for the lettering. first were going to create ourhorizontal lines using the ames lettering guide. the guide has a variety of spacingoptions to create just about any combination your looking for. i will also be using a smalltriangle. ive added tape to this one for ink lettering – to avoid smearing. ill alsobe using a .5mm pentel drafting pencil and a flair pen for the letters. ive created asmall grid here to give me some guidance when i lay out the letters. id say the most importantthing to remember about hand lettering is
that your letters need to seem animated whilestill appearing orderly and neat. i think this is achieved by using a few conventions.for example, youll notice the letters have some amount of incompleteness. the seconddiagonal on the a does not follow all the way to the guide line, the bottom of the bor d isnt complete, the bottom line on the e starts in front of the vertical. the secondthing is that all the horizontals in the letters are drawn by hand, not using the parallelrule. they all sit at a slight angle making them dynamic and yet uniform. youll also noticethat i use the ruler for all vertical lines. lastly, when making your os, qs, cs, gs, even8s and 9s, the letters and numbers are simply combinations of semi circles. even the letters is made the same way. these are two images
from my portfolio. they are good examplesof how your strings of words will come together to form orderly yet animated paragraphs. iveincluded a pdf with this short video that you can use to practice if you so desire.remember, hand lettering takes years of practice to get good so if thats your goal find a forumto practice your lettering and keep it up. and thanks for checking out how to letterlike an architect
