I do a lot of writing while doing in-house customer quotes and recently I have found myself forgetting which letters need to be connected from the top. This video helps. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and cheers from Montreal, Canada!

[@ashleysnight9223]

Hearing you say "consistent connection points" blew my mind. It's so obvious from my few years of learning but that wording really made it click. Thanks Sarah!

[@EnsignInsights]

Oh good! Isn’t it funny how certain things just click and it feels like that’s obviously the way it is?? 😊

[@ashleysnight9223]

@@EnsignInsights yep, feels do good when that happens! :)

[@alyciaholloway2151]

Hey 👋🏼 yes! Very very helpful information. I’m making the wall art for my bathroom makeover. I’ve been trying to figure out what to write & how to write it. You’ve been super helpful. But practice helps! Especially, if you stopped lettering and it’s been a hot lil minute since you’ve actually stopped to take time for yourself.

[@DevendraKumar-vq5jy]

This video was super helpful for me! I'd love you to review the Stabilo Pen 68 Brush Pens?

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh yes! I haven’t tried those but I want to! Those are definitely on my list!

[@darkmoore05]

I'm very new to lettering and this helped me tremendously to understand why some lettering I see looks better than others. I have one question though: as a German who actually wrote cursive most of her life, (I'm working really hard on remembering to lift my pen when actually lettering) ... the lowercase d looks so weird to me. The "loop" that is basically a lowercase l just feels so out of place for me. But like... 99% of lettering styles I have seen have this d and it's just something that really ... bothers me, I guess. Do you have any tips/style you could point me to that doesn't "loop" the lowercase d? I would be forever grateful!

[@TinaLouiseWallace]

Also would love something to help with spacing

[@veronicaneeley7184]

Could you please do a video with the word Embrace. This is such a hard word for me to write and it never seems to look right. Thanks in advance!!!

[@ZentioArts]

I only write Calligraphy letter when I sign my name when I finished a art but now I can do better hand writing for my school work

[@EnsignInsights]

That’s great!

[@fatimacarames6970]

Hola adoro tus vídeos y me encanta como explicas pero me cuesta mucho entender. Podrías poner subtítulos en español?. Gracias. Hi! I like your videos, i like your explication but i dont understand. Could you put subtitles un spanish?. Thanks

[@aditichawla]

Yay hiiiii

[@kareemkenney5121]

I struggle connecting v's to w's and r's because of the end loop on them, if that males sense

[@fairozamulla857]

Jow to get practice sheets

[@sitaramkumar1836]

I really liked your video but can you use normal sketch pens ??

[@jbbs000]

Hi! I just wanna ask, what brushpen is that? Please answer me...

[@elianacristinaoropeza6204]

Which markers do you recommend for lettering beginners? I'm struggling to find the appropiate

[@EnsignInsights]

Here’s my video about that: 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqzl6RrgadnrpY

[@TinaLouiseWallace]

I have tried all but love tombow fudenesuke, kelly creates, and pentel touch (make sure right ones)

[@Aa-fk8jg]

What do you do when you run out of ideas? Also, frayed pens, what to do with 'em?

[@EnsignInsights]

When I run out of ideas I take a skillshare class that’s something I normally don’t do to get some different ideas. And sometimes it’s good to take a break and come back to it! Thanks for watching!

[@EnsignInsights]

As for frayed brush pens, I would use them as watercolor 👍

[@centainedonovan1175]

What paper or card do you use for projects rather than practice?

[@EnsignInsights]

Great question! I normally use watercolor paper although I don’t use brush pens on watercolor paper. Here’s a video where I reviewed some paper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2OXaJdod8ZnhNU I hope it helps!

[@santoshsoni6020]

What company pen you are using please tell us !!

[@EnsignInsights]

I’m using Pentel touch brush pens! The amazon link is in the description box 😊

[@gachacoffee588]

When you should be sleeping and your up all night

[@susanmartin3762]

Ok... what kind of pen did you use in the opening of this video? Please.. it looks like an old school Flair Marker! Paper Mate makes the and they've been around as long as I have. I keep buying pens that you recommend but I never seem to find one like this pen you're using. Or... maybe I have and don't know how to use it. 😢 I'm trying so hard to write like you and I keep forgetting you've been doing this for years. When I watch your speeded up videos I actually think you're writing that fast. I forget How long you've been doing this. I keep thinking you one day picked up a pen and wrote beautifully perfect letters.I'm so hard on myself. But I only have myself, so I have to give myself Pep talks and I have to scold myself for being so hard on ME! I've already spent over $100 on lettering supplies so now all I need is patience. Do you have any tips on where I can buy some of that? Patience? I need a ton of it! Good talk. Thanks for your input. ❤🙃 P.s. imagine me saying all of that on ONE BREATH! coz that's what it felt like reading it back to myself. 🤣😅😂😂 (Oh Susan.. seriously.. you're embarrassing!😮)... that's my conscious talking to me. She drives me nuts but... she's seldom wrong!

[@huongdang7802]

Got to tilt my head when watching this video

[@aidasoto2936]
