Hi all, Ali here from According to Ali!

I’m so excited to share this 2022 motivational quote tutorial with you!

“New year, new me” always kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I’m pretty great exactly as I am, and so are you! A new year just means a fresh start and new goals. You just keep getting better and better every year and 2022 is no different! So, I’ll choose to set my sights on “New year! Same me, new goals!”

Supplies for New Year motivational quote:

• Blackout or Neapolitan Notebook :Black pages scream classic and classy, especially for new year! If you’re usually indecisive, like me, grab a Neapolitan Notebook!
• Calliograph Pen: A brush pen creates the perfect lettering to trace.

• Acrylograph Pens: For this project I’m using the silver and gold pens from the Metallic Set!

Brush Lettering

Use the Calliograph pen to write “new year” in your brush lettering style. Make sure you have good lighting so you can see the shadow effect on the black page because you’ll be tracing it. Always remember: thick down strokes, thin up strokes!

Lettering

Using your silver Acrylograph, outline and fill in the shadow made from the brush pen. Then, take the gold Acrylograph to write “same me, new goals”! You can use any lettering you like but I love the way a serif letter looks with the brush lettering!

Doodles

Using both color pens add some arches and stars to create a firework, confetti, and stars. Nothing says new year celebration like silver and gold confetti! You can also doodle some champagne glasses, 2022, or sparklers!
