Book Overview

Brush Pen Lettering is a practical how-to guide from Ulysses Press, first published in 2017. Author Grace Song explains that lettering is the art of drawing letters using multiple strokes, and brush pen lettering uses pens with a flexible brush tip. The guide is organized into eight chapters that lead beginners from setup and technique to finished projects.

Readers will learn about felt-tip, natural-hair, and synthetic-hair brush pens, along with tips for holding the pen and applying pressure. Later chapters cover faux calligraphy, embellishment methods, and ways to develop a personal style.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• How to choose beginner-friendly brush pens and supplies
• Brush pen anatomy and ergonomic holding techniques
• Basic strokes, drills, and troubleshooting for control
• Letterforms, letter combinations, and word practice
• Embellishing with depth, stippling, outlining, doodles, layering, ombré, and blending
• DIY projects including gift tags, wrapping paper, place cards, greeting cards, and snail mail
• Faux calligraphy techniques for chalkboard, glass, and embossed surfaces

Why This Book Matters

Lettering is not the same as handwriting. It is the drawing of letters, and it does not require naturally neat penmanship. This guide provides a structured path for building a strong foundation through consistent practice.

The book also shows how brush pen lettering adds a hand-drawn, organic element to design projects in a digital world. Readers are encouraged to make progress rather than seek perfection, and to use the techniques in practical craft projects.
