Last batch of names I had to bring back home from Osaka to finish. It took me a while. I hate it when emergencies happen and it affects plans, schedules and a lot of things. But at the end of the day, we can only focus on the brighter side of things. I may have had to bring these to Japan and back, spend way more on airfare and accommodation at the ver last minute, but my children are safe. It could’ve been worse so I am still super thankful. And thank you @blackboard_labo @heidi80e for patiently waiting for these! It’s coming!.. .

One more inking tip to cap the week! When you’re done inking, grab a .005 or .01 pen and go over the jagged edges closely and use your finest tip pen to refine it. This helps a lot when you need to scan your images for digitizing. Now, go and try if and let us know how it goes! . . . . #masteringhandlettering #myedeleon #mdlhandlettering #lettering #learnlettering #learninglettering #handmadefont #typegang #typematters #goodtype #handmadetype #thedailytype #dailytype #handletteringchallenge #letteringleague #letteringchallenge (at Asia/Singapore)

How does one ink an artwork? Patiently. During my early stage of lettering, I’m so envious of those who can properly ink their artwork. Mine looked so sloppy, ugly and the edges were jagged. But I continued lettering, regardless of the outcome and just did it because, well, is there any solution I can do to better my inking? If there was I would have done it a long time ago. But the truth is, it takes a lot of practice and muscle exercise to be able to ink with precision. Until I came to a point where an art director told me, please have this done by hand, not by computer. I had a good laugh! I never had any lettering done using pen tool. It was all handmade. It was a funny encounter. I used to be so conscious of my inking and now I have to tone it down a notch! So if you’re wondering, will yours get better? It will! Just keep inking! . P.S. this was a repost as the previous one isn’t displaying in my feed so it was deleted. If you left me a comment there and did not get a response, I apologize. . . #masteringhandlettering #myedeleon #mdlhandlettering #inktober2017 #inktober #letteringleague #letteringchallenge #handlettering #learnlettering #goodtype #strengthinletters #typegang #typematters #handmadetype #handmadefont

I’m on @perspectivepodcast!. ✨ I met Scotty of @prspctv_cllctv online in 2014 and we were all new to sharing our hand-lettering work in Instagram. Oh how we’ve grown! Scott’s killing it with his podcast and dope illustrative lettering while I’ve built my own creative business!. ✨ It’s funny because a few years ago, we were all like the new kids on the block, learning lettering and trying to attract clients and build our audience! Those years, I’ve seen how Scotty started his podcast and now I’m guesting on it! ✨ I know how he values great work and his audience and you can see from all the content he’s producing that he’s not an average guy! He’s awesome and I adore him! ✨ We get to talk about my story, my lettering journey and how I advocate greatly on understanding, loving and serving your audience well. This episode is very special to me. ✨ Learn from our experiences. Learn from us. We were connected and years ago, we don’t even have clients! We are doing the same thing and yet we’re friends and we help each other! That’s how it’s supposed to be! This isn’t a competition. Share whenever you can. Give when you can. Because, my love, in the online world, you need more friends! You won’t be able to build a community if you think everyone’s a competition. ✨ Go to the link in my profile or @perspectivepodcast and give this episode a listen and then make friends! You’re in one of the best platform to do it! 😉 . . #perspectivepodcast #myedeleon #masteringhandlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwo-m7QnzQS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bu9lyemssz5t
