About the Hand Lettering 101 eCourse

If you’ve ever wanted to create eye-catching, polished hand lettering, this course will walk you through the process step by step. Over the span of six thoughtfully designed lessons (more than nine hours of video instruction), you’ll learn the techniques, tools, and creative strategies you need to develop a lettering style that’s entirely your own. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips for spacing, embellishment, and composition that you can apply to any creative project.

Supplies

You don’t need anything fancy to start! Begin with a pencil, eraser, ruler, light-colored paper, and any pen. As you work through the lessons, you might decide to add optional tools like Micron pens, colored pencils, a white gel pen, or even watercolor and a pointed pen for special effects.

Course Structure

Each lesson includes several instructional videos and a recorded class discussion where common questions are answered and extra tips are shared. Many lessons include a quiz and/or a helpful PDF to enhance your learning experience and reinforce important concepts. I recommend pacing yourself at one lesson every 7–10 days — enough time to practice and build momentum without rushing.

Lesson Overview

  • Lesson 1: The Basics
    Create a self-assessment piece you’ll revisit in Lesson 6, then learn the foundational terminology of lettering — from the difference between calligraphy, typography, and hand lettering to the vocabulary that will help you talk about letterforms with confidence. We’ll also review tools and supplies that can enhance your practice.
  • Lesson 2: Foundational Letterforms
    Practice basic block lettering forms, starting with serif and sans serif styles, then explore variations. You’ll begin building your own custom alphabet while focusing on proportion, consistency, and personal style.
  • Lesson 3: Script Lettering + Flourishes
    Get comfortable with script lettering, then add flourishes for elegance and flair. You’ll learn how to keep your script style consistent and how to blend script into block lettering for visual variety.
  • Lesson 4: Kerning + Layouts
    Discover how to adjust letter spacing in context and create layouts that flow beautifully. We’ll cover balance, visual hierarchy, and spacing, then walk through designing and refining a complete composition.
  • Lesson 5: Artistic Effects
    Make your lettering pop with impactful treatments like 3D forms, ombré gradients, intertwined letters, and illustrated elements. These effects help your work stand out and add personality.
  • Lesson 6: Applying Concepts
    Re-create the piece you made in Lesson 1, applying everything you’ve learned. This before/after comparison gives you a clear, satisfying view of your progress and personal style growth.

Optional Community Access

If you’re a TPK Premium member, you can share your work and get feedback in the private Discord group. The TPK Premium Discord is a friendly, supportive space for asking questions, posting photos, and connecting with other students. Non-members can still ask questions within the course discussion area.

Enrollment

The Hand Lettering 101 eCourse is a one-time purchase of $60 for lifetime access. Once you enroll, you can start at any time and move through the lessons at your own pace.
