Hand Lettering (15)- Be Patient


When I recited Qur’an surah Al-Ma’aarij, I found the verse that explains about patience. It’s verse 5 in surah Al-Ma’aarij. And I’ve ever read there areย so many verses talk and order us to be patient people.

The translation of surah Al-Ma'aarij verse 5, "So be patient with gracious patience."
The translation of surah Al-Ma’aarij verse 5, “So be patient with gracious patience.”

For me, “Patient” is something easy to say, but it’s hard to do. After fasting in last Ramadhan, I try to control myself to be patient in facing the hardships in this life. I hope I can follow this guidance. Insha’Allah.

Hand Lettering (14)- Beauty


Last year, I have posted about “Beauty” in Ten sentence, but now, I will only show the pic as the theme of my hand lettering.

Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.
Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.

 

And you’re beautiful because you’ve spent your times to view this simple image. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hand Lettering (11)- Keeping The ideas


The ideas, sometimes come easily and sometimes hard to get. I’ve ever gotten the ideas in my dreams, in the bathroom, ๐Ÿ˜€ even from the mistakes of my drawing, he…he.

And how about you, my friends? I’m sure you catch the ideas easily, right?!

I have ways to keep them. I usually write the big point of those ideas before I write them completely, or I make simple sketch before I draw them. Thus, I don’t loss my ideas.

A cup of ideas. Write, draw and share!

Sharing The Steps of Making Hand Lettering


Today I’ll write/ share the steps of making hand lettering as I said in my previous post. The following steps were taken base on my experience only. I don’t read any tutorials, just doing/practicing by viewing its examples and I’m trying not to duplicate those examples. I want to keep the authenticity of my hand lettering.

If you are interested, you can read the steps below!

  • The first step, I made some soft lines to make me easy in drawing the letters and shapes. I chose to draw a bottle and ribbon.

  • Then I chose the words and wrote them on the ribbon. Here, I chose surah Al-Qolam verse: 1 for this pic. The reasons, because I took the word Qolam from this verse as my new blog name. It’s Arabic word means “Pen.” And “Qolamii” = My Pen in English. I’ve ever written that I don’t have power/ authority but I only have pen.ย I’ll make my pen sharper than swords. ๐Ÿ™‚ Here I used pencil first before using pen in the next step.

  • The third, I thickened the pic by using pen. I used snowman drawing pen 0.1 and 0.6. I also include this verse in Arabic, but I only wrote by small Arabic letters.

  • The last step is coloring and deleting some lines and other useless parts in that image. I used red, blue and green for coloring. ย I drew a bottle. Bottle is like my papers and my images are like the water. Will I make this bottle clean or dirty? Of course I’ll make it clean and benefit water for me especially and for others. I hope so.

Those’re my steps in drawing hand lettering. I must say I’m not an expert, so I need those steps. Actually I only need time less than one hour to make it. But my time isn’t only for blogging, I have other duties anyhow I’m in holidays. ๐Ÿ˜€

 

PS. Sorry, the pics aren’t good because the quality of my camera in my phone isn’t good too. LOL! One day I must change it!
