DAY 1
Today’s assignment – trace in the first two sheets of the workbook and use a spare page to letter your own entrance stroke alphabet.
Day 2 - Today’s assignment – trace in the next two sheets of the workbook and use 2 blank pages to letter them free hand.
Day 3 - You’ve got this!
Today’s assignment – let’s practice connecting each letter individually! Refer to the next three sheets of the workbook, start by tracing in and carry on lettering free hand.
Do as much as you can, you can also just go half way if you’re a complete newbie and it’s too much to handle. It is the most packed day of the challenge, so let’s give it our all before we have a relaxing end to this 4 day lettering challenge tomorrow!
Day 4 - It's a final day of our challenge, well done for getting this far!
Today's assignment - complete the last 2 pages of the workbook.
Well done for completing this and investing time in your lettering practice.
I hope that you’ve taken away lots of tips and can now look at your connection strokes with more confidence.
If you’re a complete newbie and felt like this challenge was a bit too difficult to follow, let’s go back to the basics!
