There was a time when I could do this. I have hand tremors now. I was a draftsman in the days when everything was done by hand.

I want to know the brand of paintbrush...

I love good pinstriping.

I love traditional signwriting. Consider myself pretty good at lettering but bought paints etc and it’s so much more difficult to use brush.

I can see the cut guide they followed, not as impressed now

How do they keep the paint steadily on the top of the brush???
ThePandamancer
Its an oil based paint, plus the use of palleting the brush, which drags it all to the top. That and its what they were designed for.

I mean, we could act like it's full-on freehand OR just look at the layouts that are drawn already.
ChaotikWolfi
Try and replicate it with such accuracy, go on, we'll wait.

Listen honeybuns, i'm calling it as it is. Disregarding that i'm an illustrator, there's nothing wrong with pointing out facts.

Where do you get those brushes? Brand?
ThePandamancer
The sword brush, the pinstriping brush, looks like a Mack, I'm not great at judging what color, green, blue, etc. The other brushes -
ThePandamancer
could very well be Mack as well. Mine are anyways. I got most of mine off of Amazon, but you can also get them from Eastwood, but Amazon is-
ThePandamancer
Cheaper

Thanks.

I can type the letter Q two ways. Like this "Q" and like this "q". Pretty fancy isn't it?

How is this reaction any relevant?
CripplingDepresssion
To emphasize how skillful the painter is. To write something that smoothly is very impressive and is a skill that requires precision.
ght2v1
Exactly, we can see how he did it, the video is all about how it's done. Witchcraft meme is when we just don't see how such a thing is done.

A lost art
AliBarber
Hardly lost, just rarely used because printing a sign up is cheaper and faster.

You still need to draw out the original, along with the control of the brush. Controlling the brush isn't as easy as it looks.

ThePandamancer
Not always, most of the guys at the class I go to draw it all by hand.

Hey, for some, others it takes time. To get good, it takes years, just like everything else.

I can't even write my own name without it looking like a 2nd grader did it
alsoAzrael
As your 2nd grade teacher, I can confirm.
Buckbeak1486
That's better than my doctor scribble.
cujo67
When I sign my first name in cursive, always miss the last letter making it a thing not a person.
lolsburn
My writing was better in 2nd grade.
Cranbananarama
Your writing looks like a 2nd grader's? Lucky...

I've practiced every day, every year of school and it still looks like a chicken with graphite talons had a seizure.
Maldraek
I can't imagine having hands that steady.
userbugs
Maybe take the workshop, then, dingus
skolvikes2020
Agreed
AgentKGB
Sadly, if you put my writing next to a second grader's they'd be going "Oh man, let me help you. That's freaking awful."

Fuck he uses this hand as I use photoshop
elShiz
My job requires tasks to be signed off using your payroll signature. Almost all the new "kids" don't know cursive ie can't sign ANYTHING
Jzariopeter
I learned to make it acceptable, by making sure my lower case letters and upper case are the same height. At least.
Direwolf05
That's impressive if you're a first grader
Hammertulski
Dude, paper cuts me before I even touch it, I’m assuming because the jail time is more desirable than my handwriting.
lncorrectGrammerNazi
Well, it’s really your fault for never moving into 3rd grade.
REDF0RMANSF00T
In middle school we spent like an hour practicing what we wanted our signatures to look like. Miss B made us write and write and write 1/2
REDF0RMANSF00T
2/2 and to this day I still use the same shitty signature I thought looked the best. Every time I sign my name I think of that day.
lncorrectGrammerNazi
Are you fond of the memory?
soundslegit2
Am I the only one that noticed it’s two different people...? A man and a woman?
MyFavoritesDoNotDescribeMe
I got in trouble through all of school, cause I've hand written in caps since 3rd grade. I never expected the internet revolt on caps lock.
theshinobi23
That's what they taught in high school drafting classes, and I've been using it ever since.
Laaub
I still do. Luckily it's acceptable in engineering to use all caps for handwritten notes.
alticaarden
My dad does that but hes dyslexic
MyFavoritesDoNotDescribeMe
My Dr wouldn't give me the diagnoses of dyslexia but the cursive and lowercase always fucked with me. He attributed it to my attention span.
theshinobi23
Fun fact: dyslexics tend to do better with cursive than with print. https://dyslexiaida.org/why-bother-with-cursive/

I think everyone has some differences in their make-up, but this was an informative read. Thank you.

You gotta have guide lines. Still amazingly steady hand!

Better than a junkrat I suppose.

I could have the words 99% done already and I’d still manage to go outside the lines, draw a dick and accidentally sacrifice a child.

Personally I usually just settle for toe punting a child across a room but I’ll look further into full on sacrifice. Thanks :)

As a Signwriter myself this is a dying art. I could watch this for hours.
PixieVixie
Likewise. I do a lot of handlettering too.
ineedanewsecretusername
Oh, do you have any pic or gif of anything you do ? !
costumegrrrl123
Me too! These guys ( and gals) are Living Treasures...it’s a dying art form

AbrahamWithAWiffleballBat
What kind of paint do you use? It looks like it never runs out
ThePandamancer
Most that I know use One Shot™, an oil based sign paint and pinstriping paint.
Dontracemebrah
I'm not a painter, but I use One Shot on banners a few times a year. I've heard people have been moving away from it.
ThePandamancer
Yeah? Any idea what it might be? I’m honestly curious!
Dontracemebrah
Saw some Matthews and Ronan suggestions. Mostly complaints about One Shots durability not being what it used to be.
buzzl1ght
That's my dad's original trade, he still does the odd sign now and then.
ArtMadeofYourComment
My dad too! There's one of his signs from the 70's still hanging in KC somewhere.
buzzl1ght
Got any pics? I did a post with a few I could find.
ArtMadeofYourComment
I don't. Tbh I'm not even sure where it is.
BarnacleBillTheBayler
Same, though dad is 75 and she shell of his former self. Sadly he hasn't painted in a decade. He was a master Letterhead.
thatonerandomuser
Same here, I was lucky enough to pick up his artistic genes and have done some of my own work (definitely have a lot to learn though)
jzbstl
Hey, mine too! Lhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/rottenron/ he's retired now, but did this for many, many years.
GrumpyHermits
You should make a post, it'd probably hit front page. Those are great

What about even signs?
DinoHunter56
Didn't you hear the man? He said he stopped doing those after after he retired.
