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:
Download the Brush Lettering Lowercase Alphabet Practice Sheets
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.

As I get older in my Golden Years my handwriting is declining. I remember that this how I learned to write. Thank you so much for these wonderful sheets. You are a wise one.

I have the ipad Pro w/ apple pencil. I also have the Procreate app. I downloaded the practice sheets in my Google Docs account and when i try to open the sheets in Procreate, my app crashes when the file is finished loading. Any ideas what i can do to fix?

These are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make them and offer them to us! Do you by any chance have a print out of just a blank page with the line on it so we can practice on it?
Thanks!

Suzanne says
These are perfect and so, so helpful! Great to get into the right (write!) groove with practicing letter shapes and strokes and being consistent across the alphabet.
Thank you for this resource!
dancers4life says
Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying them. Happy lettering!
Amy Slazyk says
Hello…question. I’m trying to print these out but they don’t look like the pictures. They are landscape and two pages. Any suggestions?
dancers4life says
Hmm, I’m not sure why that’s happening! Are you saving to your computer first?

I used to look at my calligraphy and want to burn it. I always felt so under confident in my artwork, until I started using your calligraphy drills. of course self-confidence in your art requires individual steps – but using your free worksheets was one of the best steps I took. Thank you so much for your tutorials , they’re super helpful. Keep creating and thank you for all that you do.
dancers4life says
