[@shawneeheltsley8534]

I got your book and wanted to read it cover to cover-I know this sounds funny; yes I’m retired so I have plenty of time. I have everything I need to start my lettering but I feel a bit of trepidation. Lol it must be my age-to be continued!

[@whitneytrevino8144]

I finally got your book! My sweet nephew bought it for me for Christmas and I actually cried I was so excited. ❤❤ I can’t wait to practice with you!

[@lunamarvologranger1019]

My favorite beginner brush 0en is tombow fudenosuke. For someone who is a beginner I would like to say that I just practiced faux calligraphy for the first 2 years. But just before an year I got tombow fudenosuke and I struggled for 2 months. So then am doing with tombow dual brush pens. It takes a lot of practice. Take ur time. This art is wonderful and u gotta give it some time

[@EnsignInsights]

YES!! That is the best advice! I love that you did faux calligraphy to start. Isn't it the best? And you are exactly right. It just takes some time and a lot of practice. :)

[@lunamarvologranger1019]

@@EnsignInsights am so glad that u replied. Yes faux calligraphy is great to start with but after u are so good in that u develope a craze on brush pens. So yeah after an year or two u can do brush lettering u are my inspiration abd I'm 13 years old

[@PepisEscobarD]

You have a beautifull letter and beautifull voice, It makes easier to understand, even when i dont have a perfect English, hello from México 😘

[@gardendreamer9117]

Hello-I just discovered the art of hand lettering during a card making video I was watching. Your channel popped up when I searched for hand lettering videos & I'm so glad. You make it sound simple & easy (with practice). I had a sharpie so practiced along as you were explaining everything & mine didn't turn out too bad...lol....So, I just subscribed to your channel, purchased your book & a pack of the Pentel pens. Amazon prime-they'll be here tonight...Can't wait for them to arrive.

[@EnsignInsights]

Welcome to the world of lettering! I know I’m biased but it really is the the best!! I’m so excited for you!

[@pramilagulia5115]

You have very beautiful lettering

[@sarikasoni8381]

Even when I'll say I'm not beginner I still love your videos ❤️😁 Edit : Second

[@EnsignInsights]

Thank you for that! :)

[@abijahdixon2771]

I have seen a similar method, it might have been one of your videos actually lol! But I am totally getting your book when I'm able to!

[@kmiller36]

Love the s lettering

[@dailydiaries360]

amazing!!!!!!!! i also downloaded practice sheets

[@karenrosewilliams2736]

Where do you get the practice sheets?

[@alimustafa7680]

I sometimes wish technology like printers weren’t invented to give this type of art more importance

[@miskatulscoolcrafts.4579]

You told me it is hard Need tutorial For sure!

[@Puggy0726]

What should I order to get started? I will eventually order the book when I have the money but just want to get tracing paper pens and what ever to get to practicing. So happy I found your channel ❤

[@EnsignInsights]

You can check out my amazon favorites in the description for what I recommend. I normally say Pentel Touch brush pens to get started!!

[@lilahtov1]

I’m very curious to know how you’d compare the Monami pens you like so much and the Le Pen Flex. The colors seem similar and I already know I love the Le Pens but the Monami are definitely a bargain!

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh interesting question! They don't seem similar at all to me. Monami are so tiny and so firm. Le Pen Flex are firm but more flexible. I personally love both and I'm happy to have both. I don't know if that helps at all!

[@arinamy6168]

you are exactly right when you said this is when most people get stuck... "PRACTISE" This happen to me.... I learnt to write alphabet but I dont know what to do next.. I scared cause im not sure how to combine/connect them. And they looks awkward...i start practising with some words like the name of the months and tracing them on a paper...it looks good when tracing but when i wrote it by myself...its not that good. this is so frustrating.

[@EnsignInsights]

I have been there! I know how frustrating that can feel! Just don't give up. I know you will get there!

[@sameerahfaisal9264]

But when I do calligraphy so my hand start shivering when I'm writing or doing calligraphy so what should I do about this?

[@GavinMontgomery4317]

Hello - My name is gavin - I've oddly enough been doing calligraphy since middle school...I just always had very fluid handwriting. But now that I have been watching videos for "real structure" it seems like I have gotten WORSE! LOL...LOL... Also in this VIDEO what BRand of Brush pens are you using - They are so flexible and the pens i have have frayed quickly. What's your best recommendation for Brush Pens. i see everyone is really supportive of the Tombow Pens and i have the Fudenosuke Hard Tip. ANy help would be greatly appreciated Thanks and Happy Lettering!!

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

Got your book. Ordered tracing paper so I don’t have to mark up your beautiful book!

Sarah, the very beginning of any letter with a... stem? What do you call that first stroke of a letter P, K, and the T. Yours are Smith with a nude top and bottom. Mine look like torn fabric. Yours are smooth from top to bottom. What's the trick?

[@crakoa1254]

Can you do a vid about lettering using brush dipped with ink?

[@EnsignInsights]

Do you mean like watercolor lettering?

[@crakoa1254]

@@EnsignInsights actually i meant ink brush caligraphy but with using brush

[@crakoa1254]

and ink

[@kimberlycoleman5349]

You mentioned when you began you joined daily Instagram challenges can you provide some on Instagram that you followed? Or can you start doing that on your Instagram?

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh this just gave me so many ideas! Ok I will put a little thought into this. On instagram there's an account that shares all of the lettering challenges. I think it's letteringchallengehq (hq for headquarters). I think that's it! It's a great account because then you can search through the monthly challenges to find one that excites you. There are ones for tv shows and movies and all kinds of things so it's a great way to find people who are interested in the same things as you! :)

[@frankynipprrrraitoo9095]

Can you make a cursive tutorial?

[@mercedeswieger554]

How do you best do this left handed

[@EnsignInsights]

You can still do it as a lefty! I’m a righty but I made this video with advice from lefties: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paq8iISEZ6eCgZo I hope that helps!

[@fluffyc8910]

Hi Sarah, are the Karin markers expensive?

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes, they are on the more expensive side for brush pens! Because they are such good quality, they are worth the investment in my opinion. I use them as watercolor too so they have multiple purposes for me which saves me money in the long run.

[@ladyalicja2562]

would be nice if you show us what to use, names for me as begginer doesnt realy say what should i buy for learning this. Or just subtitle so i can google ;P

If I want to learn hand lettering should I buy brush pen first? So that I can practice with that

Learn faux calligraphy first! That’s my recommendation!
