Paper. We're going to use, at this style I like to use a variety of papers, but to start
out, one of the easiest and best ways to work is on a paper that has a grid already. Because
we fit the letters in between guidelines, the grid already establishes parallel lines
so that we can make the marks without having to measure. Now for me that's a big plus,
and I hope it will be a big plus for you. I think grid paper enables you to set up your
sheet for writing in a way that is very quick and efficient and for that reason I think
you practice more. So I recommend the plain, the gridded paper, although you can use plain
paper too. Plain paper necessitates measurements, so if you're going to be fitting your letters
into grid which we'll discuss shortly, you're going to want to mark both sides of the page,
and this is not the way to do it because this won't line up. But just to give you the idea
and then you're going to connect the dots which we're doing in a sort of hap hazard
fashion, and establish grid that way.
