| We Are Not Worthy Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: Blackpool Posts: 590 | I really struggle with drawing up tattoo script- no matter what I try I can't seem to get a nice flow with lettering, or for it to match up size-wise. It always ends up looking more like a child's handwriting! I'm currently designing a piece which includes script and could really use some pointers. If anyone has any advice/tips it would be very much appreciated. Thanks |

When I first started coin script I used a lot of font references for my letters. 3- Go through and darken in your letters. Your down strokes should be thicker than your up strokes. 4- Add any fancy swirls or details you would like to have. Hope that helps ya out. |
