✨ Unlock the Art of Letter Shadows with the Letter Shadow Mastery Workbook
Whether you’re a hand lettering beginner or looking to add more depth and professionalism to your work, the Letter Shadow Mastery Workbook is your step-by-step guide to understanding and applying shadows across lettering styles.
This hands-on workbook walks you through the core concepts of shadowing — from light direction to spacing and style — and gives you structured, practical worksheets to train your eye and hand. With over 30+ pages of practice, it’s designed to help you build real shadowing confidence, one letter at a time.
What makes this workbook special is its layered learning system: you’ll start by tracing pre-drawn shadows, then add your own using directional cues, and finally create fully custom shadows. The progressive structure ensures that each level builds upon the last — so you not only learn the how, but also the why behind each shadow you draw.
