Bullet Journal & Lettering Resources

Even I get by with a little bit of help . . .

Bullet Journaling & Lettering and in extension Art has been a huge part of my life.

Here are all the resources from learning platforms to products & tools I use for Lettering, Illustration, Bullet Journaling and Productivity.

I’ve picked these out from an ocean of options and personally use and trust them to save you (and me) the trouble of decision fatigue.

learning & upskill

Wondering how I went from having never thought about calligraphy to hand-letter with confidence? I use skillshare for learning the things I’m really passionate about. Get 1 month of unlimited access to premium free. Happy learning!
With Coursera you can build skills with courses, certificates, and degrees online from world-class universities and companies. Get 50% off on your first course.
I love listening to books. Don’t you? With all the gibberish we have to listen t on the daily, I like to fill my commute time with a book or two. Audible is my go-to place for Audio Books and I was overwhelmed my their collection!

productivity

Freedom gives you time. The reason why I’m so productive is because of this tool right here. Freedom to blocks online distractions, apps that I would otherwise spend endlessly scrolling or streaming. When it’s work time, it’s actually “work time”.

Bullet Journaling

Staedtler Highlighters

Everyone needs a bit of colour in their BuJo and these pretty much satisfy my colour hungry eyes.

MatrikaS Dot Grid Journals

As an Indian BuJoist, it’s hard to find Bullet Journals of great quality. I bought my very first Bullet Journal from MatrikaS and I’m on my 3rd one now!

Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens

Want to start learning Brush Calligraphy? After being incompatible with a lot of Brush Pens, I found these two extremely beginner friendly. They’re quite a favourite now. No wonder most of my spreads are Black & White.

I send personally customised monthly letters filled with raw thoughts on life and exclusive travel tips delivered right to your inbox. No spam ever.

And the best part, It’s free!

Day 4: Psychedelic

For the prompt Psychedelic, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, Rishikesh just fit right in.

A holy town by the river Ganga that emerges from the Himalayas, it is known as the Yoga Capital of the World. People come here to learn and practice different Yoga styles and it is filled with Pilgrims, the Spiritually Curious and Adventurous.

Here I decided to illustrate the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram or better known as Beatles Ashram.

Day 3: Ligature

For the prompt Ligature, @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I had my mind on Diu and this one facade that I found really pretty there.

Diu is a small island joined to the state of Gujarat with a bridge. With its Portuguese Architecture and influence in the town it seemed only apt to bring that out for this piece.

After a lot of experimentation and wondering why I decided to paint such an elaborate background, I completed this postcard. The initial style of my lettering didn’t work and I had to re-do it to match the background once it was done. Finally simplicity won and something emerged that I was happy to look at. But I’m glad I didn’t abandon it halfway and saw it through.

Day 2: Ribbon

For the prompt Ribbon of @letteringstylechallenge by @aureliemaron, I wanted my piece to be delicate and light. Coastal city of Kochi seemed perfect for it. With its history welcoming many cultures and many types of buildings I was at a loss about what I would pick to represent it. And ocean and the unique chinese fishing nets seemed to be the answer to my vision.

Day 1: Bevel

A bit late to the party but here’s my addition to the first prompt of @letteringstylechallenge Style Challenge by @aureliemaron.

Since travel is a huge part of who I am,I decided to letter some postcards of my Favourite Places in India.

Agra is the first thing that comes to mind whenever anyone wants to travel here. Seeped in Mughal Architecture, I remember reading as a child that true beauty of Taj Mahal is witnessed on a Full Moon Night…

Still can’t believe that it’s almost two years since we first danced to this …

Never missing an opportunity to use a beautiful space next to the beach and under the sunny afternoon sky to do what we love : DANCE 💃🏻 🕺🏾
