Brush Lettering Supplies
Let’s gather our supplies:
1. You’ll need some kind of brush pen. There are so many to choose from so if you don’t have a clue, here are my choices:
A brush marker with a thick tip like a Tombow Dual Brush or a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen (my choice)
Or
A large watercolour paintbrush
Or
A waterbrush like a Pentel Aquash (my love).
2. Paper. If using brush pens, use a smooth paper like this HP Printer Paper. If using watercolour, use an affordable watercolour paper like this watercolour paper from Bright Creations.
3. If you are using a paintbrush or a waterbrush, you’ll need ink or watercolour paint. Sumi ink or any cheap watercolour paint set will do.
That’s it! Draw your letters on top of the ghost letters, using heavy pressure to get the thick downstrokes, and light pressure for the thin upstrokes.

The font used on these lettering worksheets is called Adelina Script by Andrey Sharonov.
