Okay, so in order to get started, you need to choose a word or a couple of words that you want to write. You can pick anything like I've said before. For example, you can write the name of your street, your favorite destination, your parents or your kids name, or the month that's coming up next, if you want to create a monster. Next, you get to choose what kind of typeface or font you want to use. Or if you want to go with your own regular handwriting, that works really well as well. So here are a couple of examples of different kinds of script.

Or you can write with capital letters or regular friends. Try to pick something that you're comfortable with so that the text part won't become cumbersome. Keep it easy and light for yourself. But if you do want to try something new, you can google different funds or scan through some magazines and find things that you like. And here are a couple of more examples for your inspiration. You can find plenty more on Instagram or Pinterest or just by googling.

The possibilities are endless. Remember that you can play with textures, layout, color scheme, positioning of your illustrations that type face shadows. So I'm sure you'll you'll come up with fun ideas. Okay, so now that you have an idea of what you'd like to write, you can choose your brush, I will go with one of my favorites, the brush pen. And then I will start by creating a guideline for myself. So I'll name this layer guidelines.

And then I will already Create a new layer for my text and I will name it text. I'll go back on the guideline, I will make it a little bit less visible by changing the opacity About 20 and then I'll draw a line. I'll hold it down so it becomes straight and I put one finger down, and I get a straight horizontal line to to keep me kind of leveled in my writing. Then I will go to my text layer. I'll change the color here. And do that already.

So I have the brush pen. And then I will start writing. I've decided to write June, as I'm planning to use this as a month starter for my Instagram account. Okay, so there's one option. It's not exactly in the center, but you don't need to worry about that at this stage so much. So once you're happy with how the text looks, you can go up here, click on the little arrow to go to the Move Tool and then you can move it around.

Exactly where you want it. So if you have the magnetic it will snap to an invisible creed. If you choose free form, then you can move it freely. I'll go for the magnetic as it is a little bit easier to make it more centered. Okay, like that. And, okay, now my guideline also is in a funny spot.

So I'll move that up a little as well. And I think I'm going to try a different kind of brush here. So I'll make the first text invisible by unchecking, the little square here, and I'll go to the next text layer. Let's name that text to and then I will choose a different brush. I'll go with the 60 pencil just to experiment and see what that would create. Okay, it's not let me make it a little bit bigger so that it reacts a little bit more to pressure.

So I often make my writing a couple of times in different styles. And then I can just go here and uncheck them and check them and see which one I like the best. This one I will probably work on a little bit before I make my decision, but just to show you how you can play around with this and then then decide on what style to go with. So this is it for the actual text. Go experiment and I'll see you in the next video.
