Draw Your Own Alphabets: Thirty Fonts to Scribble, Sketch, and Make Your Own

Used it to help me understand the process of hand-lettering. Helped me a bunch, however some of the fonts are a little childish in style or just not the kind of style I would use widely. Plenty of practice pages and helpful tips about creating your own fonts or translating a font from paper to digital. A good book to help you jumpstart your understanding and beginnings of drawing letterforms.

After purchasing a ton of art books with slants on doodling, Zentangle and more, I guess I was expecting more from this book. It ranged from simplistic (too much for my taste) to a fascinating, yet far too difficult for my skills, Octopus-inspired alphabet. I wanted this book to be more middle of the road, achievable, yet challenging. Many of the fonts felt a bit too pedestrian to me.

My mom is a walking artist. There is nothing she can't do in the creative world. I got a great price so I gave her this book. She has bragged about the book and thanked me so many times, the few dollars it cost was so worth it. Thank you. I love amazon, I am a 1970'2 woman living in a tech filled world, Amazon is always easy and helpful!

If you're needing some inspiration, this is a structured way to get your creativity on. Nothing earth shattering, but it's a fun workbook fun nonetheless. Good addition to the library too.

As another reviewer posted, this contains many simplistic alphabets. Contrary to that review, I didn’t find the more difficult alphabets beyond my skills. I just found them to be boring and not very inspired. With the market currently saturated with brush lettering and modern calligraphy books, it’s become challenging to find a decent book of solid handlettered exemplars. The search continues.

As a man who likes nothing better than writing rude words on lavatory walls, I'm happy to report this book has revolutionized my repertoire - my crapper canon if you will. In conclusion, this tome is the ideal gift for the wayward graffiti artist in YOUR family.

This book was a good choice for me to learn how to spread my wings a little. There are many pages right next to the actual alphabets so that you may practice drawing them without having to find a piece of paper, pencils, etc...good book.

In the end, I realized I could just copy fonts off the Internet. The book by itself is great, but his biggest contribution was to look elsewhere.

Great book for inspiring the creation of your own lettering style.

Very good book for a designer who doesn't like to just stick to the computer for typefaces. I had lots of fun drawing the fonts. Definitely would recommend this book, also arrived in good timing!

Brilliant examples to use for my classes, really good for getting the students to be more creative.

Fantastic book, well worth the money and very informative. Room to practice in the book.

will be for a present - looks very good.
