HB Lettering

Welcome! My name is Hannah Buchanan, I'm an illustrator, letterer and art book hoarder

The full quote is “I am not going to die. I’m going home like a shooting star” (unfortunately my source is slightly misquoted). Regardless Sojourner Truth, was an incredible person who, to my shame, I did not know much about before running across this quotation. She was born an American slave in 1797, when New York State began enacting abolition laws, her master promised to free her. But she escaped with her daughter, after he changed his mind in late 1826. She then won an historic legal case against him to gain back her son. She is famous for her activism, particularly on behalf of women and human rights. I recommend going to learn more about her, some good places to start are the Sojourner Truth Institute, the Library of Congress and Womenshistory.org. #sojournertruth #blackhistory #blackactivism #type #lettering #letteringartist #handlettering #ukletteringartist #famousquote #poc #feminism #civilrights #slavery — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2vA7S4I

I finished this and forgot to post it as life has been busy as hell recently. I made this for myself and for anyone else who may need reminding that they are wonderful. There are lots of things that can makes us feel bad about ourselves. But remember you are brilliant and deserve to be happy - be kind to yourself. #lettering #letteringartist #illustration #ukillustrator #ukletteringartist #type #handlettering #letteringuk #handlettered #positivity #florallettering #floralillustration #florals #embellishedlettering — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MarTUX

Made this a few days ago when the temperatures were in the upper 30 degrees. It was the worst, I am not built for weather that hot! This was a good exercise for me in terms of colour palettes though, took inspiration from @iamgiagraham And some people say #globalwarming isn’t real 🙄 #lettering #letteringartist #weather #icedtea #ukletteringartist #ukillustrator #brightcolours #tropicallettering #type #customlettering #handlettering #handlettered #letteringuk — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2SYCi8C

Something I started sketching for #pride2019 last month. Unfortunately life got super busy and I wasn’t able to focus on any personal work. But once things calmed down I decided to finish this off - I think that with the forced break it actually looks better than I predicted. I got to play around with some new #procreate brushes too! #lgbtqpluslettering #lgbtqplus #lgbtqia #pride #pridelettering #lettering #letteringartist #procreatelettering #type #rainbow #illustration #ukillustrator #ukletteringartist #lgbt #colourful #texture #procreateart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/30TNFkG

We all need to hear this at some point. As someone who has suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for years, I know I can get lost in my own head where my negative thoughts can spiral out of control. It’s so easy to compare ourselves to others. The negative thoughts that arise from that can be so harmful, ‘I’m not doing well enough at...’ ‘I wish I was able to do x, y or z’, ‘I’m embarrassed that I haven’t done ... yet’ But guess what? You are doing great! Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise and definitely not that little negative voice in your head that likes to second guess you! Try and find other measures of happiness and ways to find joy. Above all ALWAYS be kind to yourself! #positivetype #positivelettering #motivation #goodvibes #mentalhealth #anxiety #type #procreate #lettering #motivational #customtype #letteringartist #typostrate #goodtype #typegang #typism #handdrawntype #typespire #uktype #ukletterer #50words — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2LXwY3A

So I like how this looks now it’s finished but man oh man - had to wrestle with it for awhile. Sometimes letters just don’t want to behave! 😁 #handlettering #procreatelettering #procreate #digitallettering #type #ukletterer #ukartist #lettering #wildandfree #circus #letteringuk — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2TwWj5k

Took some classes on skillshare by @jamiebartlettdesign and @tzetze and made my first lettered gif with their help. Thanks to these great teachers for their content!

Started a sketch and it got away from me... a lot Also trying out a few techniques from @stephfizercoleman class about layers in Procreate, which I’m really enjoying using. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2P4M3Py

First thing I made in #Procreate, really loving the app and how it’s streamlined various parts of my process. Possibly considering putting it on my #redbubble - thoughts? #handlettering #bedfordlettering #ukhandlettering #procreate #bedfordillustration #bedfordillustrators #letteringgreetings #hey #lettering #procreatenewbie #hb_ink #hb-ink hb-art #hb_art https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHZ4YjBljO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=efxuvv1czlra
