Special request for a fast letter from @okayjeffrey: "Only 2 speed lines? That's a slow J." 🙄

So happy to have started & finished the daily hand lettering challenge! All of these letters are hand painted with either 1-shot lettering enamel, 1-shot poster paint, or a combo of both in one. I’ve tried so many letterforms, treatments, brushes, and painted on materials I’ve never tried before. I constantly dug deep into books and online archives for inspiration. I still have much to learn—but this was a very fun and enriching part of my day this past month! I always watched in awe as others dove into challenges like these so I’m real proud of myself that I was able to get in on it this time around. Thank you to everyone that hyped me up all throughout :) See them individually here.

Down to the wire yo! Spilled some some paint so I had to do teeny touch ups on this heavy sans 😅

Last one for the books! So stoked I was able to start and finish this letter-a-day challenge. I had so much fun practicing and exploring letter styles 🙌🏼 there's still much to learn but I'm glad I made it part of my routine! Thanks @handletteredabcs!

Well this felt odd 🤔

Found a piece of silver mirror-scrap paper so I get to be in the photo too 😜 Bonus sketch on a post-it to keep me in check! This one was inspired by a window splash by @icysigns @esposartworld 👏🏼
