Font and logo drawing.

[mar6]

Hello.

Is it somehow possible that i write font and logo to white paper and then somehow get it to computer?
I have seen some good "handwriting" fonts but i dont understand how those can be done with usual design software.(and with mouse)

I could also draw better logos to paper, but is there any possibility to get those to computer so that i can colour them, that they dosent look like usual scans?

I have read about graphic tablets. Is it makeing handwriting fonts with those easyer? Or what designers usually use for logos and "handwrited fonts"? Only mouse and some graphic program?

Sorry for bad english.

I use Handwritten fonts mostly if the logo has to have a handwritten font.

I personally use pen tablet and my mouse-touchpad of my laptop, as i personally dislike the mouse for design.
The pen tablet is not for many though and i wouldn't recommend buying it as most likely you'd be bored of it.

I use Illustrator for creating my logos and photoshop.

You can scan your handwritten lettering and ask a designer to redo it into vectors (trace).

Scan your character one by one ("a","b","c",...) and import each file on your editor. The font editor automatically trace your image. You need much time completing all your character. If you are not serious about it is just boring. You can find cool handwriting fonts for searching around also. Good luck.
