How To Create a Realistic Chalk Lettering Effect

[ad_1]
Today we’re going to take a look at creating a chalk lettering effect, just like the trendy menus you see in bars and cafes, or the quote murals all over Pinterest. We’ll use the digital power of Adobe Illustrator to plan out our typographic quote design with fonts, which allows us to experiment and move elements around. This isn’t something you can do with chalk, without rubbing it out and starting again! To achieve the most realistic effect possible, we’ll then make use of some analogue tools to capture the natural irregularities of hand made art.

    That's brilliant Chris! I thought "do I really want to learn this?" but after watching it all through I realised there are several techniques in there that, even if you don't need to create chalk lettering, are just tutorial gold!
    Thanks for posting it.
    Btw: I thought you were extremely drunk while recording this one until I realised I'd still got Half Speed in the YouTube Controls turned on from a previous tutorial 🙂
