Yessss! #16typesof from @ianbarnard and @stefankunz couldn’t be more perfect 👌 I’ve been working on a total update of my humongous library of letters for months now! I started the library in 2016 and it was time to do a massive remake of all the old letters that I now felt I could give some great improvements to. I’m almost finished with the whole remake and thousands of letters are already there. I’ve also been going somewhat crazy with flourishes to many of them 😁🤪 You know I love flourishes right? It’s a massive amount of work, but I wouldn’t want to be without it and I use the library all the time when I get stuck or need inspiration. The library (and a ton of other resources) are available through my Patreon. I’m also about to publish the brush I used here - in case it’s of interest. Oh, and the colors of my strokes: Green = heavy pressure and Orange = light pressure. . Alright, now I best hurry off; I have more letters to make! 😄❤️✍🏻

I found this quote to be so perfect right now, I couldn’t help but letter it. Fun fact; I didn’t know about Mr Rogers until very recently when I saw a movie about him. I wouldn’t have minded growing up with his show on the TV. My impression is that he must have been like a children’s Bob Ross, in some ways. To all the heroes out there, in hospitals and elsewhere; Thank You for your heroic efforts, today and always. . ✍🏻 Written in the @procreate app with #ApplePencil 📐 “Compressed” guide sheet from ToolChest (get access from my Patreon page) featuring the sharp-edged style which is also available in ToolChest/StyleLibrary 😊 . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #MrRogersQuote #MrRogers

⚠️ Long post alert ⚠️ I can not believe this past month… A month ago, my dearest grandmother had a stroke, and with the coronavirus starting to reach Europe and the US, I faced a really tough decition; to stay or to go… Not knowing anything about how the situation would be anywhere with both corona and my grandmother. Story short, I've now been back overseas with my grandmother and my mother for a month, and the coronavirus is everywhere. It's looking stable around us, and businesses, stores, and events are canceled, closed, or restricted. It's not looking so bright in the US, and I have no idea when it may be safe or smart to head back to my hubby, the puppy, my in-law family and my studio. But I am glad I am here though, my grandmother is needing the extra care both day and night as she is way too eager to get healthy and not understanding that she needs to be careful, or she will end up in the hospital again. My grandmother could go back to her home earlier than usual due to the added threat of the coronavirus and the fact that my mother and I would be here and care for her for the time being. I feel sorry for especially all the elderly who can not be home in times like these, and who does not have someone with them. While I am sure you all have heard it already, please consider those people who are especially at risk, and that we are trying to protect in times like these. Stay updated on news, new laws, changes or other information from RELIABLE sources like rather than social media. And while more and more countries are shutting down; reach out to people in other ways and be there for one another through phone or other ways. ❤️ We are in this together, and we can fight it together while staying safe and not putting our self or others at risk. Sending you all much love and positivity and a big “e-hug” [is that a word?] 🤗 ❤️ . ✍🏻 @pilotpenusa #petit3 fude brush pens . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #covid_19 #alonetogether

Jumping in for today’s #rockyourlettering prompt with some contrasting styles and colors. My dear grandmother is in the hospital and I wish I could be there for her and my mother, but I am so far away... I’m blessed though with really caring hubby and in-laws who make sure I have anything I need and lots of hugs 💖 Hopefully she will be back on her feet again soon. I’m also working hard on new practice sheets for the new month! As always enjoying putting together different styles to make things more fun and challenging!🤗❤️ . ✍🏻 @kuretakezig_usa #Fudebiyori ✍🏻 @kellycreates small brush pens 📐 Guide Maker: 35,70,70,40 and 50,40,40 . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen

When I saw the small set of pastel LeFlex, I couldn’t help myself 😅 I really like them and these colors are a great addition. It’s entirely possible that they’ve been available for a while but I’ve not had the pleasure until now. What’s your favorite small brush pen (with colors please)? 🤗 . ✍🏻 @marvyuchida #LePenFlex 📐 Guide Maker: “Basic” . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #smallbrushpen #pastelbrushpens #madewithmarvy

Who can remind me to finish this next year? 😂 Seriously tho, that would be great! I gotta get back to work, because I had a little too much fun with this and did not get done in time 😜 I can’t help it, Elegant style + flourishing... way too much fun! 😁 . ✍🏻 @staedtler pencil 📐 Guide Maker: Elegant style . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #PencilLettering #letteringsketch #HappyLetteringChallenge #happyvalentinesday2020

I think I’ve always liked colors, but it wasn’t until I began lettering that my love for colors really started blossoming for full. Today I find that colors can fill me with so much inspiration, creativity and joy 🤗❤️ That’s why my pens and inks and even paper are lined up by color and on display in my studio. Having many colors to choose from can also be challenging however which is why I am so happy for the new Color Tool in the Tool Chest (link in bio). If I’m ever in doubt of which colors to mix, or if I just need some colorful inspiration; I go there! 😄 What’s your favorite colors to blend? I have too many favorites. 😅 . ✍🏻 @karinmarkers #BrushMarkerPro ✍🏻 @artezaofficial #Inkonic 📝 @artezaofficial #WatercolorPaper . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #Blending #watercolorblending #colorinspiration

I have been working too much again, I can’t help it, I get so excited to share new projects and ideas and I just love working with what I am working with. All weekend (minus a few hours of babysitting my brother-in-law’s beautiful kids) I’ve been working 😅 and I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done. I also just launched TOOL KIT a place where you can find some very handy lettering tools and my Letter Library in new updated version along with the Guide Maker tool which also got some updates and brand new templates. And to top it all, a new Flourish Library which I’ve been filling up with all kinds of flourishes; mostly for letters but also some standalone flourishes like this guy! And a brand new Color Tool to help you match some amazing colors for lettering. And of course samples and explanations if you want 😄 oh and did I mention the brand new Style Library? Yeah I’ve been working like a very busy 🐝. 😅 . If your interested you can find all the goodness on toolchest.winterbird.com (link in bio). Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to get right back to working on more goodies! 🤗🎉 . What pen is this you might wonder? Well, because I’ve been working on the site I’ve been sitting with my computer a lot and this is my computer pen 🖊 @Wacom to be exact. I’ve been using Wacom Tablet instead of mouse for 15 years now and I don’t know how I would have managed without it 😂 #notsponsored The flourish was originally made on my iPad though because I needed them to be transparent and I was making a LOT of flourishes so I thought it would be best to save some 🌳 . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #Flourishing #ToolChest #wacom #digitallettering #ipadlettering

February is here and so are my new practice sheets; complete with a real time video with comments and tips while I letter each word of the month for you. This month I’ve been working on this style that you see here, where I added these really fun details/swashes. I’m dying to hear what you think of them! 🤗❤️ The full, real time video is available for my patrons along with the downloadable practice sheet for BOTH small and large brush pens (link in bio). I’m also nearly finished with a huge update and some new stuff for patrons and it’s going to be awesome, I’m so excited and I’ve been working all weekend on it 😄👊 . ✍🏻 @marvyuchida #LePen Flex . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #CalligraphyVideo #HappyLetteringChallenge

Oh I’ve missed you, ‘rough’ lettering style. 😅 I’m also looking for a better name for this style, do you have any suggestions? I looooove the textures you can get, the imperfections and the breaking of rules. 😂 Happy Wednesday! . 🖋 @kuretakezig_usa #BrushPen . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #HappyLetteringChallenge #marvelous #aristotlequotes #motivationalquotes

A little rusty with here and there including camera struggles but, hey! 😄 here I am again. 🤗 This month have flown past giving me plenty of struggles to deal with but also some amazing projects. I have learned a lot and gotten a good deal of things done. Now my big goal is to get back here properly! 💥 It’s still going to take me a little to get to that point, but little by little you should see more of me 🤗❤️ . ✏️ @marvyuchida #LePen Flex 📐 Guide tool: 30, 35, 30, 35 . . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #CalligraphyVideo #marvyuchida #flourishing #RockYourLettering @caliquynhletters @creativejeel

Happy New Year! 🥳 🚨⚠️ Long post alert! ⚠️🚨 I spent the last part of 2019 working on some exciting projects for clients, one of them with a larger craft supplier whom you probably have heard of, and which hopefully I can talk more about in a little while 🤗 I also spent some time finalizing some special gifts for some amazing people who’s been supporting me for years now. It felt so great to put them together and get them in the mail. And then the holidays were upon us before I had a chance to blink and I spent time with my family overseas and treasured every moment of it that I could. In the meantime I’ve had to take a Instagram break to be able to have time to sleep in between everything 😅 I didn’t mean to be away from you guys for this long and without warning but I’m just one me trying to get all things done. During this time though I’ve missed you guys and I’ve at times been overwhelmed by YOUR love and kind words that I’ve been receiving while I’ve been away. Please know that all PM’s and emails you guys have sent me means the world to me 🥰😭❤️ I don’t have words, it’s so kind of you and encouraging to hear all your kind words and wishes. As for January, I hope I’ll be able to ease back into Instagram and posting again, but I still have some projects including a book for a client that needs to be finished before the month is over 😱 Hehe. BUT, I’m going to do my best to get back properly soon. I am also planning to make a return of my much missed Letter Library 🥳 I have some changes compared to before but I think you will like them and the new letters! 👍❤️ Now I best get back to work here, but before I do so; I wish you a truly MAGICAL, CREATIVE and BLESSED New Year! 🥳 ❤️ Much love from me 🤗 . #Lettering #Script #BrushLettering #HandLettering #Calligraphy #ModernCalligraphy #BrushPen #Tombow #Fudenosuke #HappyNewYear2020
