Stroke Basics
There are two basic strokes in hand lettering: downstrokes and
upstrokes. The fundamental principle to keep in mind that will be
your foundation and help you improve is THIN UP, THICK DOWN

DOWNSTROKES – THICK DOWN


The Downstrokes are the thick parts of brush lettering.
You need to use more pressure on your down strokes.
Also, try to make all of them consistently angled.

UPSTROKES – THIN UP
The Upstrokes are the thin parts of brush lettering.
Apply very light pressure on all your upstrokes.

PRACTICE 
