第一次见到Brush Lettering的作品时美易笔刷在哪，小U内心的反应是“哇，这种字体竟然是手写出来的！”就好像走在街上，突然碰见一个大叔拿着排刷，拎着油漆桶，在墙壁上工工整整地写出大号宋体的“富强民主，文明和谐”一样。

近几年，Brush Lettering的应用越来越广，它的踪迹几乎随处可见。除了手帐中的装饰字，你还能在纸胶带、印章、节日贺卡、礼品袋、电影和海报上见到它的身影。

今天小U就给大家介绍一下，这种看起来俏皮、学起来也简单的英文手写体——Brush Lettering。

什么是Brush Lettering？

Brush lettering is a style of writing similar tocalligraphy. With each letter, heavy pressure is applied on the downward stroke and light pressure is applied with every upward stroke. Because of the use of pressure and the appearance of the letters, brush lettering is commonly known as modern calligraphy.

Brush Lettering是一种类似书法的书写形式。书写每个字母时，向上的笔画轻轻地写，向下的笔画重按着写。这种有按有提的运笔方式，再加上字母的外观，使得Brush Lettering也被称为“现代书法”。

Brush Lettering在英文书法中类似于中文书法中的行楷，它的每道笔画都较为圆润、间隔有度，但字符间的连笔与首尾字母的装饰性笔画又使它看起来更具一丝飘逸。

从“Brush Lettering”的英文来看，大致是指“用笔刷写出的字母”。这里的笔刷指的就是我们在创作时会用到的秀丽笔（brush pen）或墨笔/科学毛笔（fudepen）啦

Fudepen, also known as “brush pen”, isacartridge-based writing instrument used in East Asian calligraphy; in essence, an ink brushanalogue to fountain pen.

墨笔，又称“秀丽笔 ”，是一种自带墨囊的书写工具，常用于东亚书法美易笔刷在哪；本质上，它与自来水笔相似。

但严格意义上来说，秀丽笔与墨笔还是稍有差异的。相较于秀丽笔（如下图中的派通touch），墨笔的笔尖更为柔软，因而对于初学者来说，较难把控力度。而秀丽笔的笔尖前部柔软，中后部会偏硬一些，书写时就不会出现有的笔画特别细，有的笔画特别粗的情况了。

除此之外，书写Brush Lettering还可以使用其它种类的工具——水彩笔、荧光笔、彩墨，甚至蜡笔……每一样都可以成为你自由发挥创意的工具。

除了实物画笔，数位板、平板和手机也可以用来绘制电子版的Brush Lettering作品。

但是这种方式相对而言比较复杂，因为它和实际的手写触感有很大的不同。连接电脑的数位板可以在Sketchbook或是Photoshop中绘制美易笔刷在哪；平板则可以下载“Procreate”软件，搭配触控笔进行书写；手机就得动用你十根灵活的小手指去绘制啦！小U使用的软件是“美易绘画”，大家如果还有好用的软件，可以在评论中留言分享哦！

电子绘制虽然比较难适应，但也带来了更多功能。单单笔刷就有几十甚至上百种，大小、深浅和颜色也可以随意调节，不满意就来一个“Ctrl+Z（撤销）”。

一起学习Brush Lettering吧

Before you jump in on a brush lettering project, you need to know the different types of brush strokes. There are eight basic strokes that comprise brush lettering.

开始正式创作一份Brush Lettering作品前，你需要了解不同类型的运笔方法。以下是书写Brush Lettering的八种基础笔画。

1. Down stroke: Heavy pressure is applied in a downward motion.

motion n. 动作

2. Up stroke: Light pressure is applied in an upward motion.

3. Under stroke: Heavy pressure is applied in a downward motion, then curving up while lightening the pressure of the brush pen. This looks like the letter U.

4. Over stroke: Light pressure is applied in an upward motion, followed by a downward curve while applying heavier pressure. An over stroke appears like the lowercase letter n.

5. Over-under stroke: Light pressure is applied upward, followed by a downward curve with heavy pressure, finishing with an upward curve applied with light pressure. This stroke looks like the capital letter N.

6. Loop stroke: With a basic loop stroke, you start at the one o’clock position, moving counterclockwise into an upward curve, looping back down and around. For loop stroke, you adjust heavy pressure when moving down and apply light pressure when looping back up. A loop stroke appears like the letter O.

loop v. 打环

counterclockwise adv. 逆时针方向地

7. Over-loop stroke: An over-loop stroke starts with light pressure and upward motion that loops over into a heavier downward motion. This stroke looks like the cursive lowercase l.

8. Under-loop stroke: This stroke is the opposite of the over-loop stroke. The under-loop stroke starts with a heavy downward motion that curves around and back upward with lighter pressure. This stroke appears like the cursive letter J.
