See how easy it is to make this double layered Lettered Name Word Art using the most popular Tombow USA products.

Lettered Name Word Art 1

This post was first seen on Tombow Blog where I am part of the design team.

I love that hand lettering is such a big trend right now! There are so many different and unique styles of hand lettering that you can really find and develop your signature style.  I love seeing all the different ways artists express themselves through their lettering styles. 

When I first started out lettering, I would letter names all the time.  Deciding what to actually letter was always a struggle for me in the beginning. My name and my kids names were always what I started with.  So I’ve been lettering these names for a long time. 

When I first saw this double layer lettered name word art, I knew that I needed to write each of my kids name in this style.  It is such a great way to mix lettering styles. And create some bright, bold, beautiful word art. 

I also love that I get to use some of my favorite Tombow materials to create this word art.  And if you want to practice some hand lettering using the Tombow Fudenosuke pens, you can check out the free lettering practice sheets.

To create this double layer lettered name word art you will need: 

Tombow Fudenosuke Pen
Tombow Dual Brush Pens
Tombow Water Brush
MONO Graph Pencil
Mixed Media Paper

Lettered Name Word Art

The first thing to do is to draw 2 parallel straight lines across your paper using the MONO Graph Pencil.  You can decide how much space to put between your two lines.  Which will result in the height of your letters.

Using the Tombow Dual Brush Pens create thick block style letters for the bottom layer of your name word art.  You can use any color palette of Dual Brush Pen you like.  Use all one color or a variety of colors. 

Once you get your first layer of color down, use a bit darker shade of the same color and add just a bit of that color to the bottoms of each of your letter. Again you want to use Dual Brush pens for this layering color technique. I like using the Dual Brush 10 packs because they have such great color palettes of shades that go together like this.

The reason you want to use the Dual Brush Pens is because they are water based and you can create some great effects using water. Take the Tombow water brush and add some water to the bottoms of the letters where you added the darker colors. Keeping your brush wet, but not dripping wet, pull the darker color into the lighter color of each letter. 

Lettered Names Word Art 5

Make sure to wipe off the brush between each letter to keep the colors from spreading too much into another letter.  But when you are done with each of the letters, you will have a colorful, cool effect for the base layer of your word art. 

Lettered Names Word Art 6

Let that layer dry before moving onto the next part.  For this layer you will be using the Fudenosuke brush pen to add the name again, right on top of the one you just made.  By creating really long exit strokes, from one letter to the next, try and add your brush letter on top of the same letter in the block style. 

Lettered Names Word Art 7

I try and center the brush letter as close as possible to the block letter, but sometimes it doesn’t work out perfectly, and that’s ok. It’ll look good even if it’s a bit off center.  Add a fancy entrance stroke to the first letter and exit stroke to the last letter to finish it off.

This turned out so bright and fun, I did one for each of my kids.  And now they are hanging in their rooms! If you do them on a smaller scale, these would make great labels, name tags or stickers. 

Happy Lettering!
