If you wish to learn brush calligraphy, bouncy lettering and flourishing alongwith worksheets then do reply back😁

[@marthyldaflores7326]

I was so obsessed with hand-lettering the first time I heard about it, so I kept practicing. I got told my calligraphy was bad when I first started, but I kept practing. And now, I think I mastered it well! That is why the key to good calligraphy is lots of practice!

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes so true! It definitely takes a lot of practice!

This is soo helpful I was just thinking of starting bullet journaling and didn’t know where to start😁👍

What other papers do you recommend? I don't think we have the Premium thing in Philippines :

Cha Eunnie No we do, I live in the Philippines and my dad brought home the Premium thing i dont know where he got it though..Sorry

[@dreas8517]

Uhhh maybe try asking in NBS? or just buy some vellum board or worx board? If you can't still afford it then be resourceful :> Good luck though :)

[@andis.8618]

I have a friend, she is a left handed too but, she is really excellent in calligraphy. Btw, she thought me how to write calligraphy!

[@korukomi]

I’m left-handed but I can do calligraphy- just use the right brush pens. For me, the Tombow Fudenosuke doesn’t really smudge!

[@nalliena]

@@korukomi I mean... I could probably do it if I took more effort into it. But its just awkward holding brush pens being left handed :/

Your videos are of great help. I did attend brush lettering, faux calligraphy workshops and I too feel with faux calligraphy one is able to understand brush lettering more. Here I am to enquire about Pentel small brush pen. Is Pentel Arts Sign Pen with Brush Tip different than Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen or Pentel Penelar Seal Pen Brush Touch--- I am getting confused as they all look similar on the computer screen. Please if you can guide. Thanks

[@reality_isme]

I personally like brush markers with harder nibs because it makes it easier to make thinner lines, which I find quite difficult to make with softer nibs... A really good one is the Sakura Fudenosuke brush marker. Also I really like the contrast when there are really thin lines and really thick lines...

Can you please explain what you mean at 6.36 by the the pens being at 45 degrees and also perpendicular at the same time? Trying to understand.....help!!!! 🍄😁💜

[@EnsignInsights]

The pen should be about 45 degrees in relation to the paper. The perpendicular has nothing to do with where your paper is, it’s perpendicular to where your downstroke is. I hope that clears it up for you!

Hi. Does the number "32" mean 32 pound paper? Is 32 pound printer paper suitable? Thank you.

Yes it means 32 pound but the weight doesn’t matter as much. Printer paper isn’t smooth enough for brush pens so you just want smoother paper like HP premium. 👍

How easy is it to letter using the pentel fude? Is it a hard or soft nib?

[@sarahgordis]

Definitely closer to a hard tip. Maybe a little softer than the tombow fudenoske hard tip. Honestly, I found it easier to learn with a soft large nib, but most people seem to recommend the opposite.

[@runapan9622]

I like soft brush pens

To learn calligraphy you need to know cursive so I recommend watching a video made by charm.

[@enricobautista64]

As of what i know that handwriting is called "Calligraphy" not "Lettering" lol

[@nazmayaakub3253]

Lettering is the main category which calligraphy falls under

[@janemiettinen5176]

Calligraphy is done with calligraphy pens usually (dip pen or fountain pen with different nibs), theres way more (somewhat strict) rules and different styles. Its the old timey writing, think letters written with a quill and finished with wax sealing etc. The hand-lettering movement just took the name for some reason, now it creates only confusion. Im primarily a calligraphy girl, but I can do the lettering, I just dont care for it that much. I like messing around with my ink bottles, I guess :)

this probably sounds stupid but, do you have to know write cursive before trying lettering?

That’s a good question! It may help to know what some letters look like in cursive but cursive and hand lettering are different! So you absolutely don’t need to be good at cursive to be able to hand letter. 😊
