Hey, friends! I’ve been teaching some local hand lettering classes lately, and as I was putting together some resources for the students, I decided to create a nice, new set of brush lettering practice sheets. These sheets are designed specifically to help you master the lowercase Brush Alphabet. I tested them out last night with a great group of women {plus Little Crafter} at a local library, and they were a hit.
Each letter has three examples for you to look at, then some lighter colored examples to trace with your pen so that you can get a feel for how the upstrokes and downstrokes of that letter work. Then, there’s about a row and a half of lined space for you to practice on your own. As always, I believe that practice makes progress, so the more you write a letter, the better you’ll get at it! So, fill those lines…
There are two easy ways you can use these brush lettering practice pages.
1. Download them to your computer, then print and use with brush pens.
The Tombow Fudenosuke is ideal to use on these pages, because the size of the tip is a perfect match for the examples. If you like, though, you can also fill a row using a Dual Brush Pen to give you practice with two different kinds and sizes of pens.
2. Download them on your iPad Pro and open in the Procreate app.
If you’re lucky enough to have an iPad Pro and like to make your lettering digital, just open each page in Procreate, then use your Apple Pencil to trace over the examples and write your own. The best part about this is that you can always erase and reuse the practice sheets as many times as you like! The particular brush I use is called Light Calligraphy and is available on Creative Market.
As you get increasingly comfortable with a letter, feel free to use the extra lines to practice embellishments too.
There is no wrong way to use these sheets! The key is just to choose whatever works best for you and get started. Here’s where to grab them:

Just click the link above and you’ll see all six sheets. Each one has 4-5 of the letters on it, so you’ll need to download all six for the full alphabet.
Hope these help you in your lettering journey!

I also have a companion set of free practice pages for the uppercase brush alphabet too, so you can move on to those next.
