Happy December! I’m not sure how we got here so quickly, but here we are! In the spirit of the upcoming holidays, I’m excited to say the next few weeks will all be holiday-specific tutorials. This week we’re going to start things off with a typography tutorial (my favorite kind) requested by Allison on how to form typography into a shape. To start the holiday theme off, I’ll share how I would create typography to conform to the shape of a holiday bulb using the word ‘Joyful’. Read on to see it all!

Happy Tuesday! I’ve had a few requests for more lettering tutorials, so I’m here to deliver! I’ve also made a lettering playlist which you can check out here where I’ll keep them all together 🙂

In this week’s quick tip video tutorial, we’ll digitally letter the number 3 two ways. For the first way, we’ll be using this Wacom tablet (or any of these) and the brush tool in Illustrator. After that, we’ll digitally letter the same number 3 from scratch using just the pen tool. We’ll go over the best way to plot your points and basic point handle adjustments using the direct select tool in Illustrator. Let’s get started!
