Hi there guys! If you are one of our old readers then it is safe to say that you would know how we love sharing the brilliant work and designs produced and created by artists around the globe and we just cannot stop ourselves from looking at their work and praising them. That is one of the main reasons why we are always reading up on modern design techniques and trends that become the talk of the town so that we can pick the important bits for you in order to inspire you and to (almost) force you to incorporate the tricks and tips into your designs.
In our blog today, we will be talking about brush typography. This topic is relatable on a person level because we just got a pack of brush markers for ourselves because we wanted to see if we have it in us to create pretty typography designs or not. And while we were checking out the brilliant tips of our markers on a plain piece of paper, we realized that we should not be expecting a lot from ourselves.
Let us share some more ‘findings’ and realizations that we happened to have and then we will move to our actual topic! Creating typography from brush markers is *not* a piece of cake. It not only requires a lot of patience and time but you will also have to make peace with yourself in order to get there. That also means that you are allowed to mess things up as you will only learn by making mistakes.
Since many aspiring artists and people around the world try to learn new things on a daily basis, multiple brands have emerged and are also selling top notch brush markers and of course other relevant stationery items so that everyone can access and buy the stuff they would need to create typography designs. So in order to get started, it is important to keep yourself calm and go through the products that are available in the market. Interestingly, you can purchase brush markers online as well as from outlets and it is totally fine to test them before spending money on them.
Brush markers come in different color ranges as well for example; there are sets available in number of 10, 12, 24, 48 markers. If you want a variety and don’t feel like spending money all the time then it would be great to get the bigger set as it will have a lot of colors to check out from.
Although, it will be okay if you want to test your skills on plain white papers sheets (given that you are using cheap markers, the ones you won’t mind wasting) but know that brush markers have different results on different mediums. For example; tracing paper lets you to smoothly move your brush pens & markers but there are other papers and pads available in the market as well and you can get them easily from your closest stationery or arts & crafts shops. Allow us to share some categories of papers and sheets with you!
- Rhodia Pad (comes in blank sheets, lined sheets, dotted sheets and graph paper)
- Canson XL Marker & Bristol (semi transparent and finished paper sheets respectively)
- Strathmore Bristol (heavy weight paper with a smooth finish, great for any marker)
- HP Premium Laser Jet Paper (since this paper is used in laser printers, their finishing is extremely fine)
For better results and even to check your typography skills, we will recommend you all to invest in a pack of papers that have a smooth finish as the outcome will also encourage you to keep going and creating more typography designs for your personal use or you can literally create pretty handmade cards for your loved ones too. And of course, once you have learned how to hold a brush marker and use it to create nothing but perfect typography designs then we are sure you’d be able to produce art works etc. for your freelance projects too.
