  Here's my process! I start with a chalk sketch, editing sizing as I go. Exciting side note: you can sharpen chalk in a pencil sharpener! Or you can use a pre-sharpened soapstone pencil. Then I go over the sketch with a chalk pen, if you want it to stand out more, and wait for the pen to dry. Once the pen dries, you can wipe away the sketch with a normal cloth.

  And you have the finished product! This is a pretty simple example with plain all-capital lettering, but you can get fancy with different typographies!
