Hello,
I am an ameteur type designer, and I have, thus far, been designing straight into the computer. I want to change that, especially because I am starting a serif font. I have terrible drawing skills. Do any of you have good, actionable tips for getting better at drawing letterforms?

if you don’t have much experience drawing in general, I would recommend a beginners figure drawing class. Drawing what you see is good practice for drawing what you imagine
This equivalence is more apparent when the interface tool is a stylus and tablet, rather than a trackpad or mouse.

I recommend finding a piece of old typography, printed from foundry type, and attempting to make a digital facsimile of it—drawing straight into the computer.
