How to improve your lettering consistency w/ the calligraphy alphabet

[@onlytymewilltell]

Yay! I love that you just cut straight to the chase and don't spend a majority of the time rambling like most others do!! Hell by the time they finally get to the actual tutorial I move on to another bc I can't stand listening to someone spend so much time chattering when I'm eager to learn! Let's keep it moving y'all lol

[@LoveleighLoops]

Hahah we are so glad you appreciate that! We definitely agree... it's nice to have some verbal detail on occasion, but we usually like to just be straightforward and cut the clutter

[@fabipivete]

Lovely video, clear and simple, I found it very helpful as I am a beginner in this art. It´great to start learning already keeping the proper manner in mind. By the way, I loved the silence in it, no need for talking loads and no annoying background music, just the lovely sound of the pen rubbing on the paper and birds chirping!

[@LoveleighLoops]

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!

[@sarahhart8079]

I've been on a letter kick these last few days and I have to say this video is like my holy grail! It's so easy to see each stroke for each letter, which so far has been hard to find. You can also clearly see how each of the basic strokes come together for each letter. I've been trying to find as much as I can online for free and this video is going to help me *so much* both to get better and to save some cash. Thanks again!

[@firstnamelastname6184]

This is by far the most helpful video i saw. I've been trying to improve my calligraphy but for some reason i never could improve because every youtuber talks about hand adjustments. But your video Actually shows clear examples on how to improve. Thanks so much!

[@LoveleighLoops]

Thank YOU for the nice comment! We are so glad that you found this valuable

[@D.Nies_]

Thank you, I noticed I did some of these mistakes. But with some letters I even liked the "don't version" more than the right one, hehe. I guess it sometimes depends on the personal taste. I have really problems with s, k, z and b, and you taught me another way, so thanks and keep up the good work! :)

[@LoveleighLoops]

Hi Denise! Totally fine if you like the "wrong" one better for the letter style!! The "right" ones are just correct in that they will be consistent when all 26 of them are written that way :) So glad to hear this helped with s, k, z, and b. And, thanks for taking the time to leave a thoughtful comment. Hope you have a good day!

[@chathascattitude4132]

Loveleigh Loops the r helped me make it look more professional

My B's look like f's! So when I'm writing, for example, "beautiful" it looks like "feautiul".

I've never done lettering, but just bought my first set of markers to start! This lesson is superb! So helpful! Will be my everyday go to. Thank you for this!!

[@faithmoua279]

Me the whole video: "What's wrong with tha... oh.." "It looks the sa.... oh.."

[@LoveleighLoops]

LOL! Sometimes it's just a subtle detail that makes the difference ;)

[@soykabeans2055]

This is EXACTLY how I felt!!

[@jeanpuckett]

THANKS ! This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen. It all makes so much more sense now!

[@LoveleighLoops]

Jeanie Puckett thanks! We are happy it helped :) which letter was most helpful to you?

[@thequeenofmyhomeauntienina4691]

I just love it! Growing up with a single mom was not easy but this would have been something I would of love to learn when I was a small kid. But I now get to do it with a collection of markers. The real ones. Thank you.

[@LoveleighLoops]

Auntie Nina Lopez aww so glad you liked it!💕

[@catarinazs]

That's perfect! There are thousands videos teaching lettering and calligraphy, you found a way to teach it that is so clear! Congratulations and thank you :-)

[@LoveleighLoops]

Thank you so much for the feedback! Sometimes comparing the "wrong" is easier to understand than just showing what is "right"!

[@pantalonious3984]

I just wanted to say that I have been working on my lettering for a few months now, starting with likely the worst handwriting you my have EVER seen, most times i wasnt even able to read what I ha written it was so bad. Then I decided I wanted to do my own Christmas Cards this year and started learning calligraphy in various scripts and settled with copperplate to begin with. I have made some substantial improvement and my friends and coworkers and family members have been singing high praises but I myself have just not felt like I was there yet, Still wasnt even sized and consistent letters forget about it. As a whole i didnt look bad but picking out the mistakes was all I have been able to see. Then I found this video browsing for improvement tips for the 1000th time and I have to say, I dont know exactly why, but following along with THIS video, has finally put me ti to that turning point of really polishing off my letters and making them all the same time and time again, like little clones of each other, and Im thrilled. I almost gave up on the entire Christmas Card endeavor but thanks you YOU I think I may be able to do this after all!!! SO THANK YOU!!!

Small detail for one, big difference for all. Congratulations from Brazil

[@RandomBubble]

I always do the swoopy line before all of my letters and I also keep them slanted slightly to the right. Thank you for reassuring me that I’m a noob that did not look into modern calligraphy tutorials :’)

[@mohammedibrahim4256]

Thank you so much. This was really helpful as I could NOT figure out what I was doing wrong.

[@LoveleighLoops]

mohammed ibrahim you're welcome! Which letter was most helpful?

[@mohammedibrahim4256]

Loveleigh Loops All of them, but if i had to pick it would be a, e, and s. I was also wondering if you could do a video on the do's and dont's of Capital letters. Thanks again!

[@LoveleighLoops]

Agreed, "s" is a difficult letter to write. For capital letters, we just posted a new video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPJeKR5oMqdm9k This video shows two styles of capital letters, rather than showing do's and dont's. The reason we chose to do that instead is because capital letters have a lot more freedom and variation, and there aren't quite as many rules. Hopefully the video is still helpful to you!

[@mohammedibrahim4256]

Loveleigh Loops Just watched the video! Thanks a lot, you have been really helpful.

[@neonennui]

I love you and I can't thank you enough. I was looking for an explanation like this for AGES.

[@CaptainNemo1869]

Very helpful video, some sound rules you've pointed out. But I feel that your "don'ts" for a few letters are really more about personal preference (eg k, r, and s) although they make sense with your specific lettering style. And, I don't know if it's just me, but your seem to have improved a lot since 2017. Anyway, great job!

[@LoveleighLoops]

You're exactly right, some of the "don'ts" can be stylistic choices, as long as you stay consistent!
