Lettering style can help set the overall tone for a drawing. By carefully selecting the lettering style you can help the reader understand what an image is portraying, whether it me silly, angry, sad, or scared.

I say that learning and practicing the craft of drawing is largely about training your eye. Any normal person who can write their name or draw you a map of how to get to their house has more than sufficient motor skill to draw well. What the artist (or draughtsman, one who draws) has is an eye finely honed to detect subtle differences in shape and space. This, coupled with knowledge of form, tone and structure, enable to convey convincing indications of bodies, cars, scenes, etc ...

Lettering is GREAT at teaching one to see very subtle differences. Look at the "hole" in the letter P. That is called a "negative space." By looking at the negative space, you can check that the P is right. Lettering makes you refine your ability to make smooth lines, both curved and straight.

Furthermore, lettering often contrubutes to the character of a piece. If you're designing a movie poster, sure, the lettering will likely be a computer typeface, added later, but your sketch will indicate what that typeface should be. (Helvitica is a typeface. 12 pt. Helvetica is a "font." A font is the typeface, plus the point-size.)

Look up old hand-lettered signs. Cool stuff... for real.

Lettering is when the artist, (using whichever discipline of art drawing, painting, etc.) draws a piece of art based upon a letter at the start of pages in texts. Think its also called Luminescence. For example:

_________ he baker started at I 11pm,
