I'm very new to lettering and still not getting a chance to do as much practice as I'd like. Being a single mom of an almost 7 year old son, having nearly 7 years in recovery, working a new job 40+ hours a week and extracurricular activities with my son added in, it doesn't allow much time for practicing. I'm glad I took the chance and got these, though. I only wish the actual learning guide had more room for practice, even a thicker book with more blank pages, eliminating the need to carry a second book of just tracing paper. I got the tracing paper with the guide and pens and while the tracing paper is a big help, I think I'm needing more of a lined paper that has the lines already there, like the example in the guide that shows all the parts of the lettering, with the baseline, cap height, x-height, ascender and descender lines. If there was a type of paper like that, with the lines and them being very faint, same thickness, smoothness, opacity as tracing paper, it'd be SUCH a big help. I get off scale when I don't have the ability to start out tracing but, maybe the next step after tracing could be the tracing-style paper that has those ever so faint lines; it'd be fabulous next step. Thank you for being SUCH a positive, caring, kind, strengths-based woman. It is truly empowering and gives me great pride to be able to learn from someone who cares and is genuinely a positive influence. I know a lot of people probably say this but, the positivity Lisa exudes is beyond…
