BRUSH MARKERS FOR HAND LETTERING
Small Tip Markers:
I recommend starting off with small brush markers, as they are easier to work with. Once you’ve mastered thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes, you can move onto the larger brushes.
Large Tip Markers:
Below is a video I made on some marker comparisons, so you can see them in real life.
OTHER SUPPLIES FOR HAND LETTERING
Depending on the marker you are using, paper can be crucial to your lettering. Tombow Dual Brush markers (and similar ones) need to be used on a very smooth paper. Regular copy paper can fray those types of markers quickly. I recommend Strathmore Bristol Paper but you can go to your local craft store and feel the papers for ones that are super smooth.
Just getting started with hand lettering and the thought of brush markers stresses you out? You might want to start with faux calligraphy. The Tombow Twin Tone and Zebra Midliner pens are some of my favorites to use, but any pen or pencil will work fine for faux calligraphy.
