Learn how to experiment with different styles, textures, colors, and shapes to create lettering with original effects
Nick is a lettering artist from Berlin, known as Snooze One, who creates unique and modern works of art by combining calligraphy with graffiti. This is Nick’s second course at Domestika. In the first, Graffiti-inspired Lettering, he teaches you the basic concepts and techniques for creating graffiti-inspired lettering artwork. Building on this, he continues to experiment with creative lettering to bring pieces to life with unique techniques, tools, and effects.
Let your imagination run wild and create expressive lettering with experimental techniques and tools!
Start the course by meeting Nick, your teacher, also known as Snooze One. He tells you about his beginnings and his professional path, which has led him to become a successful lettering artist. Likewise, he presents his main sources of inspiration.
In the second unit, your teacher gives you an introduction to experimental lettering, explaining the importance of experimentation in your work and formulating some of the relevant questions that he asks himself in his creative process so that you can also benefit from them.
Nick then goes over the essential analogue and digital tools and materials for the different techniques you learn in the course.
After choosing the words to star in your final project, learn about the different lettering techniques. First, the thick-ink technique, in which you draw with especially thick ink, markers, and watercolor brushes. Then, the technique of foam brushes, with which you work in larger formats. Next, learn about the wet-on-wet technique, which consists of dripping acrylic ink and water-based ink onto letters drawn with water to create unique effects. As the latest analogue techniques, Nick introduces you to liquid lettering and bubble lettering.
Then, he shows you how to take your pieces to another level digitally with augmented reality, combine ideas and styles and build your own from various parameters.
