Intertwined Script and Block Lettering Tutorial by Nico Ng — Welcome to Part II of Nico Ng’s Intertwined Script and Block Lettering Tutorial!

Hello again! Nico Ng here, and I’m back with the second and final installment of the Intertwined Script and Block Lettering Tutorial. In Part I, you learned how to draw clean block letters using a grid technique. Today, we’re going to apply that knowledge in order to create a compelling black, white, and gold piece. Here are the supplies that I recommend for this tutorial:

Black cardstock (affiliate link)
Grid Ruler Bundle – (Use a smaller ruler size, like 3 mm, for smaller papers; and a larger ruler size, like 7 mm, for larger papers)
White pencil + black eraser
White Marker (or white ink)
Gold Marker (or gold watercolor)
