Supplies

Paper: Smooth paper should be used with your brush pens. Not only does it help with getting clean strokes but it can also help prevent the nibs on your brush pens from fraying too fast. As long as the paper is smooth you're good to go. That means that marker paper, smooth copy paper, even tracing paper can be used. I have listed some recommendations below.

• HP Premium Laser Jet Paper

• Hammermill Premium Laser Jet Paper

• Canson XL Marker Paper

• Bianyo BN Marker Paper

• Darice Artist Tracing Paper

Brush Pens: These sheets were created using a small brush pen so it is recommended that you use one when practicing. I'll leave a few recommendations of some good small brush pens. But you're not just limited to brush pens, you can use crayola supertips as well. Despite them not having a brush nib they can still give you those thick and thin strokes needed for brush lettering. Note: I use crayola supertips in my video down below.

• Tombow Fudenosuke 2-Pack

• Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pens

• Misulove Brush Pens

• Crayola Supertips 50-Count

How to Use the Sheets

• Trace over the letters I've drawn to get comfortable with the different pressure required for certain strokes. (this is where the tracing paper could also be helpful)

• Don't aim for perfections right away. Just focus on familiarizing yourself with the strokes.

• Go slow. Don't use the normal speed you use when writing, that'll only lead to shaky strokes and who wants that? ☺

• Remember to use thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes. If you need extra practice then click HERE to download my Basic Strokes Practice Sheet.
