Inktober 2016 — "Ninelie"

Day #6 for Inktober! "Ninelie" lyrics from the anime "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress", written by Amanda Lee: http://leeandlie.blogspot.com/

I started dabbling in brush lettering a couple weeks ago! It's something i've always wanted to learn, but had a hard time getting my pen pressure just right for the thicks and thins. I tried out a pen from a friend and realized it was the type of brush tip I was using! More traditional brush tips are too flexible and is hard to achieve those thicks and thins when I'm still training my hand to get the motion down. Here I'm using the Pentel Sign Pen in medium! It has a stiffer tip and is much easier to learn the basics of brush lettering :)
