Hand Lettering

I spent semesters in college hand drawing letters - replicating typefaces - to perfection.

I am considering picking it back up after being inspired by hand lettering plastered all over my favorite blogs.

The beautiful.

I would like to start practicing and develop a hand-lettering style of my own.

I've always wished I could do stuff like this. Whenever we have boards or signs at work that need to be done, I get stuck doing them. Then I agonize for hours, erasing and re-writing things because I think my handwriting it so terrible.
