items Markers, pens, brushes, and paper for creating beautiful handlettering art!
I got the mega box and the colors are GORGEOUS! The markers are bold and vibrant and leave absolutely beautiful brush strokes. I also use these for watercolor painting 🎨
Karin Markers - North America
I use these pens when I want to create a smaller Handlettering piece. The tips are flexible enough to make a nice bold stroke, and strong enough to keep a clean tip. These are great for composition between smaller letters and larger letters (with the...

Waterproof! That’s all that needs to be said lol. When I blend the markers with a paintbrush and water, I can do it confidently knowing I won’t smudge any black outlines or smaller lettering. #winning
New PIGMA MICRON® sizes - Sakura of America
The Tombow #95 brush pen is my go to for writing out what I want to letter over. It’s so light that it doesn’t affect the color of the pen or paint you will color over it with, and helps ensure you’re not writing “blind” which (in my opinion, can be ...

Dual Brush Pen Art Markers | 108 Colors - Tombow

XL® watercolor | Canson
If I’m using the Pentel Brush Pens or planning to handletter without blending, then multimedia makes much more sense. It’s a little more affordable and you often will get more sheets per pad.
Canson is my favorite brand of the papers I’ve tried.
XL® Mixed Media - Canson
I taught myself handlettering when COVID hit. This book was the one I started with and it was just what I needed to learn the basics of brush strokes, letter styles, and how to write words in a series of connected lines.
Ultimate Guide to Calligraphy & Hand Lettering
When you’re ready to give it a try, handlettering with a thin paintbrush and watercolor paints can produce something pretty magical (it’s dramatic, but it’s true). You’ll find it takes more patience and you have to work slower, but if you’ve used yo...
ARTISTRO 48 Color Watercolor Paint Set
I’ve tried a lot of different watercolor paints and let me tell you, when it comes to metallic colors, nothing beats this set. Every color is GORGEOUS. Nothing adds that pop of expression than a gold paint splatter on your lettering piece, or details...
