"Learn Lettering the fun way!" workshop
Join me for a day long workshop where you will learn to play with letters! You will draw fun letters, shapes in a playful style and also learn how to just enjoy drawing letters without the fear of perfection.
Why that workshop?
I have been teaching lettering for a good time now and my work really evolved in the last years to something more artistic. I did step a bit away from perfect techniques to go in a more human, playful and vibrant direction. And that is that way of drawing letters that I want to share with you today.
What you will learn:
To play with letters by destructuring them while keeping the message readable, fun and beautiful,
To take your actual lettering style/skills out of your confort zone and get nearer from your personal voice,
To have a more playful and personal approach when creating a new artwork,
To use shapes as letters and bring a kind of collage and paper cut feeling to your lettering,
To play with constraints, like drawing inside a imposed shape or draw letters inside a photography,
To use great combinaisons of colors in your work, by playing with markers or colour pencils you will bring and eventually try to mix them with overlaps to discover new ideas for your creativity.
What you will do:
You will spend the day drawing, try different ideas around exercises to unblock your creativity with letters and shapes.
You will experiment drawing without fear of judgment or perfection, like a “letting go” by doing different exercises, try different things and enjoy doing them,
You will colour some of your lettering with markers or coloured pencil and discover the mindful art of colouring a lettering you did draw with a message you did choose.
Is the workshop for you? Yes if…
you want to play with letters and be creative your own way,
you want to experiment and go beyond your confort zone,
you want to learn to draw in a more artistic way,
you are a lettering artist or enthousiast and you want to go further with your style,
you are an illustrator and want to use playful lettering for comics or illustrated books (children or not).
EXTRA BONUS: Personal feedback Call!
After the workshop, I will send all participants a 30-minutes max individual appointment invitation where we will spend some time debriefing the workshop and see further steps you could go to continue develop your skills.
What if I did your Domestika Course?
My Domestika course is fantastic to start playing with letters. You learn basics of lettering and you go beyond to create a great retro style artwork. The workshop is different in a way that we will spend more time playing, drawing, trying to go out of our confort zone and see if we can’t find some new ways to do lettering. Things will happen more inside of you that in some external inspiration.
Also, you don’t have to take my Domestika Course to attend this workshop. There are totally independent.
*** No previous lettering experience needed ***
Workshop will take place on June 1st from 2:30PM Paris Time to 9PM (so max of people from US and Europe can attend)
No computer and tablet needed for practising. Just bring pencil, paper, tracing paper, markers if you have some of any sort or colour pencils, and eraser. Also have Zoom installed (here you need a computer ^^).
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
*** WORKSHOP IS LIMITED TO 20 PEOPLE ***
