More enjoyable than Expected

Very familiar with Watercolour and Lettering, I was not expecting how interesting it was to find out and watch this course. Shelby had some really great advice, and watching her process is enlightening and encouraging. She is opent to trying new things and going with the flow on camera so it is so refreshing to see and helps you in your own process.

Good demo of carving simple text into rubber block material. Great tips for ensuring your design ends up facing the right way — not mirrored! — and where to source some materials.
