Become a Runesmith
Are you ready to start developing your own language of runes and symbols? You’ll first need to decide what it is you want to depict in your runes.
Will you have a different rune for each letter of the alphabet (so you can spell things)? Will each rune represent an object or idea? Make a list of about 20 things you would like to ‘translate’ into runes. Think of it like a secret code. In the next module, you’ll get a drawing lesson to help you develop your style!
