Two weeks have passed and the second episode of the Hand Lettering Podcast is here!

Q & A
This episode features a couple of questions sent in by Nacho from Spain.
Nacho asked
Does the paper you draw on make any difference along the process or in the result?
Almost every letterer that I follow recommends Microns but they are really hard to get in my country (l was able to get them online but no stationery shop in Madrid, where I live – and it is the capital of the country – sells them or even knows about them). Do you know of any reliable alternatives? Could you explain why do you (all) love them so much?
If you have a question you’d like answered in the podcast, you can send a message using the button in the bottom right corner. You can ask as many questions as you like, and ask about anything at all that’s lettering related.
Wrap Up
Thank you for listening it’s so great to be sharing helpful information with you. I’ve had some lovely feedback on the podcast so far but I’d still love to hear more on what you think, and whether there are features you particularly enjoy, or whether there are features you’d like to see added.
If you’ve enjoyed this episode please could I ask that you leave an honest rating in iTunes, Stitcher, or whatever other podcasting platform you use to listen. As it will help others to find the new podcast and help me to add value to the series also.
