Reddit reviews The Art of Whimsical Lettering

Wow. Thank you for such an in depth response, I sincerely appreciate it.

I'm not going to drop out of school or anything, I feel like I need it right now to provide me with some sort of structure. When I'm not going to school (full time student, not working much right now) I tend to just sit around and drink beer lol. However I am taking more artistic classes now, Film, Graphic Design, Photoshop, Screenprinting, and loving it. I'm actually waking up earlier and being on time to class for once in my life. Its a very nice feeling. But the thing that amazes me most, is that I'm enjoying screenprinting so much that its bringing me back to some of my roots when I used to spraypaint stencils and wheatpaste back in highschool. It was a blast and I don't really know why I ever stopped.

As for the font books, I've never looked into something like that before, so after some googling, do you mean stuff like this? Also would taking a typography class be beneficial? I thought about taking one anyways and I get free schooling thanks to our wonderful tax payers, so it wouldn't really cost me anything to enroll. Also in this same vein do you think taking some basic drawing or 2-d design classes would be beneficial? I've never done anything with art really outside of creating stencils in photoshop, hand cutting, and spraying, so I don't know any of the technicalities related.

I watched the videos and it amazes me how in control of their whole arms they are lol. It reminds me of those camera men where they walk around and the camera stays perfectly steady lol. Lots of whole body movement with the hand in total control. Super straight lines while walking the length of the wall lol I doubt I can do that right now :P

Should I just like buy a huge sheet of plywood from home depot to practice on in the safety of my backyard with all the time in the world?

As for the rules I already know the basics about what you should and shouldn't go over and places not to put up on, but I definitely will watch Style Wars, I have it downloaded in my to watch later folder already :P This just means I have to watch it next, been putting it off for a long time.

Again thank you so much for your input man :)
