Hey could you make a video of the whole alphabet in calligraphy please. It'll be really helpful because I've only just begun and it's hard for me to figure out where to break the letters. Please use a light coloured brush pen so that it'll be easier to see. Just you writing letters in calligraphy! Thank you so much and love your tutorials. Love from India. ♥

She has a paid course for that :) it’s a source of income so I doubt she would be doing that for free. It’s a great course though, I am currently enrolled in it

[@jandjcreations3960]

you are the best calligraphy teacher i have ever met. love from India.

[@erinapplegate-belville9277]

I LOVE that you say to hold the pen the way YOU hold a pen. I have never been able to get nice handwriting holding a pen the way we were taught. THANK YOU! I also want to thank you for these videos. Writing really helps with my anxiety. Especially fun and different hand lettering. I appreciate that you do all of this for free. Your videos have been a blessing! Thank you!

[@newlywedbeth]

Thank you! My son has calligraphy class coming up and I learned with a chisel pen. I ordered pens. Surprised to find brush pens came in the mail. We needed a good tutorial!

Great beginner video. I struggled for awhile on how to hold the pen/paper. You really nailed it with an easy explanation... as usual!

Young lady, you make this look easy. Thank you.

[@aminastudies8973]

i just started calligraphy and thankyou for teaching us

[@teochevon]

Thanks for the guide. I simply bought a brush pen the other day and I was searching around with Tombow brush pen keyword today and I found your video. I still can't believe that I already could do calligraphy by following this video

[@wenjingzhang2341]

Thank you so much! This helped me A LOT, I want to try making my own bullet journal but I don't know how to differentiate a brush pen with a calligraphy pen or use a brush pen.

[@quackcreations1546]

Omg I just randomly clicked on this video and the current brush pen I was using for calligraphy was the exact same one this also was a MAJOR help thanks so much 🤪

[@emmz9199]

I used this video to convince my mom to buy this for me. And belive me, she is not easily convinced. This video helped me a lot!!!

[@NotyouraverageL7]

Wonderful job on this video!!! I have watched more than a handful and your video has made the most sense at a perfect engaging tone!

[@dimpyarora2358]

Thank you for teaching calligraphy. You have taught it really well.

[@cassf2328]

How refreshing, concise and pleasant to watch. Do you know any left handers who do Calligraphy? Would the manner in which the pen is held to the paper be adjusted?

[@kimmieyun]

Hi Cass! I’m a lefty :) feel free to reach out to me on IG @leftysharonletters! Would be happy to answer any specific question about being a lefty!

Hi Becca! I'm a lefty and I have a lot of problems in making the thin upstrokes which is really frustrating. It just doesn't come out to be thin😕.. Could you please give me some advice?🙏

[@Anonymous-qg8nn]

Sameee i noticed these strokes just aren't made for left handed people 💀 cuz if i hold it at 45° from there it will be opposite

How do I compensate pen angle since I’m left handed? I don’t write with my hand bent over the top of my page, if that makes sense. I turn my page on a sharp right turn to write.

For my compound strokes, no matter how lightly I press on the up stroke, it doesn't thin out. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Very useful video thank you😊❤❤❤😊

Hey,becca it's me maryam cuz I'm doing all of this all over again so best of luck to me,😄😄😃

[@gautam1801]

I as a beginner tried using the camlin brush pens But lemme say this They have a large soft tip Which makes them a bit sensitive to pressure and turns Instead you should try a brush pen with smaller or harder tip in order to write more fluent!!! ❤❤❤

[@ellakatefirth5478]

Thank you so much this helped me A LOT!!💕

[@shaeshae3420]

Simple trick: with brush pen writing calligraphy? Ur in the right place! While going up make it thin and while coming down make em fat 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have zebra midliners (dual end) and the colour payoff isn't that great but they're pretty good and don't bleed through

[@maraortiz6726]

Tips for brush pens that seem to dry out really fast making the lettering not be as dark? The brush pen that has “BR” on the cap is a pointed felt tip almost. I am not sure if I am pushing too hard or…?

[@yinglin9537]

Do you have a video on how to write the letters P, R, S, Q? I find writing words like “inspiration” pretty difficult for my beginner level. Thanks

[@zinniadesai3869]

Which brush pen to use

[@TheHappyEverCrafter]

In the video, I use Tombow Dual Brush Pens: amzn.to/2lHImFS

[@ConsueloMelendez]

Hi Becca. I just saw and read that Tombow brush pens can be refilled!!! Is this a good idea? They can be expensive to buy when using them often. What do you think about refilling them? Thank you in advance for your help.

Is the tombow ones like the camlin brush pens?

[@kkarban]

Hey! I just got brush pens and wanted to try this, a question about the paper though, can it be high quality drawing paper? Or would that be too gritty?

[@keesartscape2671]

Awesome :D A paper of 80 to 100 gsm would be more than sufficient :)

[@dreavmin497]

My brush pens make thick lines even on upstrokes, despite me changing the pressure and position of the pen. So the difference between up and down strokes are minimal :/

[@DebbieGermany]

Hi! How frustrating! I hope you got this sorted out already, but in case you haven’t, here goes: it is probably due to angle of the pen in relation to the paper. If, for instance, you happen to hold then pen body parallel to the top and bottom of the page, the marks will come out thick on both the up strokes and downstrokes. We often do not realize exactly how we hold the pen to the paper, so we think we are doing it right until we really examine our work. She has some good videos on that including this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSwkoqFeampf7s
