Inspired by the calligraphy of the past and a decades-long career creating hand-lettered designs and tattoos, BJ Betts partnered with Tattoo Smart to bring you the Penmanship brush sets. Each of the 414 brushes in the Penmanship set were painstakingly crafted and perfected to enable you to create the most versatile lettering tattoos and to find your own hand lettered design style digitally. The natural media brushes in the Penmanship set replicate vintage ink and brush pens in a digital format. BJ also provided 7 different lettering grid stamps and repeater brushes to help you lay out your digital lettering designs on their own, or add lettering to other tattoo designs. These guides are also invaluable tools to help you practice the shape and structure of your letter compositions.In addition to the natural media brushes in the Penmanship set, BJ also included 5 stamp alphabets to provide a visual reference to how the Penmanship brushes can be used to create different letter options, to layout different tattoo design options, and to provide a template for practicing letter composition. The Script letter stamps are drawn in BJ Betts’ classic script style, with more and less ornate individual letter options, perfect for any script tattoo design. Drawing with the round tip brushes in the brush set, the Round letter stamps are a less formal Script style while still maintaining the hand-drawn look of lettering tattoos. As the name suggests, the Aggro letter stamps are more aggressively drawn using sharp angles and a scratchier style. The Oval letter stamps provide an excellent simple letter design with minimal flourish. Finally, the Chisel stamps combine a slightly more ornate style with a chisel-tip pen look.
