THE BASICS
Often times, it's best to take it back to the start, and go from there.
LAYOUT & SPACING
Laying out your lettering correctly is one of the most integral parts of the process.
FLOURISHES
Flourishes are a perfect way to fill dead space around your lettering, and give it that calligraphic look.
SIZE & VARIATIONS
This chapter discusses tricks for designing larger projects, different lettering styles, and shading variations.
PIKE LETTERING & MIXING STYLES
We start at pike lettering, and make our way into mixing other styles of lettering together.
PLACEMENT
Some lettering styles work perfectly for this placement, but look awful for that placement. It's important to know the difference.
COLLAR & STOMACH ROCKERS
This chapter covers how to layout rockers, and some lettering tricks for this body placement.
SIGN PAINTER STYLE
Brush pens are a cool way to get different weights throughout your letter. Here we talk a bit about the old sign painter style, and a fun little warm-up technique.
DROP SHADOW
Drop shadows and lettering go hand & hand. This chapter teaches you a fool-proof way of knowing that you've dropped your shadow in the right spot.
BANNERS
We all know how integral the banner is to the art of tattooing, and lettering in general. In this lesson, we discuss some banner options, and how to put lettering inside or over them.
BONUS
Downloadable alphabet sheets, an interview, and any future live Q+A's with BJ will live within this chapter.
