Doesn't have H

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes that would work! That's a great practice for connecting all letters of the alphabet too! Thanks for adding that! :)

[@mscar7173]

Another idea: practice the basic strokes and letter formation with a regular (not brush) pen! Part of great lettering is muscle memory, this can be done anywhere with any pen. I really saw progress when I began practicing making consistent ovals and upstrokes at the end of each letter

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes!! Thanks for sharing! This is such a great point! It can definitely help to get your hands used to the motion before introducing a brush pen to get the hang of. Thanks for being here!

[@QuickWorksBeauty]

I practice everyday! When I first started my lettering looked like chicken scratch. It’s improved considerably. I belong to a daily lettering challenge group. Thanks for the video!

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes! Being part of a group is so helpful in being motivated to practice! Thanks for sharing that you were able to see your progress from daily practice! And thanks for being here!

[@sashashah187]

your lettering is absolutely gorgeous and calming

[@diamondsnadventures8558]

You have some serious skills! 5:54 is so lovely! I hope you don't mind me recreating it and tagging you on IG? love love love your videos!

[@AridescentArt]

Yes!!! This video is everything!!! When I first started lettering I made it a priority to learn and that’s how I was able to do it! I’m sharing this video!! Lately I haven’t been as active on lettering but I started making KZbin videos so that’s taking priority at the moment, but I still practice when I can!!

[@chickadee915]

Any tips for lefties on keep control and not slanting the writing up or down?

[@unodos6274]

Your also a Leftie!!! COOL!!!!!!!

[@Ana-xp9hs]

Practice on your right??Well I dont know Im a rightie

[@chickadee915]

@@Ana-xp9hs no offense but you make it sound snarky. Like that English teacher I had who used to give me bad grades for writing with my left until I complained about it to the school board. And they switched classes on me.

[@mayrahernandezgarcia1677]

Well what I do is put the paper slant on its slide and then write. I am too a leftie.

[@chickadee915]

@@mayrahernandezgarcia1677 I've tried that but you see Im very particular when it comes to paper. I hate smudges, rips or tears it makes me want to start over on something. And when I would tilt it my papers would get messed up and that would make me upset/stressed. Frankly I have no idea why I obessed on it but it makes my art/skteching stressful sometimes. In a way ig I'm a perfectionist ?

[@charliespinoza1966]

I think I do all of these! I keep pens and a small notebook with me for practice on the go, do fauxligraphy with pencil on the go as well for letter form practice, keep supplies by the couch with worksheets, and have my favorite pens at the ready! Having a clipboard ready with paper, a ruler, eraser, and pencil inspires me to start or continue with whatever project I’m working on.

[@MsYumyumi]

I do the same too! I have the pilot mini brush pen petit3 and it fits my pocket and I can go anywhere and practice calligraphy with it.

[@jessicahope1180]

Just found your channel and this is the first video I've watched from you! It's awesome! Just subscribed!

[@dianapatrick7761]

This course sounds fun!

[@lindaepstein7736]

Good video and good ideas, especially the last one "to plan your practice". I need to work on that, Planning challenges for myself or using someone else's challenges is something that I think I will find helpful. Thank you for your ideas.

[@EnsignInsights]

I'm so glad you found this helpful! Challenges are a great way to stick with daily practice. And it's also a great way to find a community of likeminded people on Instagram! :)

[@merrivideo]

I used to practice everyday with my work planner. I have to get organize anyway.

[@EnsignInsights]

Yes! What a perfect time to practice!

[@LucasG745]

Your hand lettering is PRISTINE! I have a ways to go still 😊

[@EnsignInsights]

You’ll get where you want to be! It just takes practice! 👍

[@unodos6274]

I'm getting the tombow dual brush pens on my 10th birthday, and when I went to Michaels and tested them, I was already good at it! (^^)

[@AmieDeLalla]

Uno Dos yeah sure.

[@mendesarmy6096]

This is really useful

[@ChaaEunnie]

A ballpen will do if you want to learn to calligraphy or handwriting! But if you can afford you favorite brushpen then you could also use it

[@lenasherin5889]

I bought Doms super soft brush pen and water based ink.can you please tell me how to use it?

[@shay1488]

[@andreaspomari976]

Kookies With Jam I tried but no brush pens are delivered to my country :/

[@andreaspomari976]

ebrahim baig The same reply I gave to Kookies With Jam

[@iskarabandoysoy2119]

Hi. Random question. I am not a beginner nor pro in calligraphy. I am planning to buy a brushpen. I just wanted to ask which is better, Koi brushpen or Karin brushpen? Also does karin brushpen fray easily when you write on water color paper?

Thanks but can u make a video of how to use brush pens??

[@EnsignInsights]

You're in luck! I have a video exactly about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raHdpaKmhJZ3i8k

[@Gilberte99]

Hi I’m curious to find out if the markers you used are refillable 😊

[@EnsignInsights]

Great question! These Karin Markers are not refillable. Thanks for watching!

[@Gilberte99]

I see, that’s such a pity! I saw that the markers are quite expensive, thought they are refillable or something 😅

[@jjjjaspn]

ive always had enough money for a lot of tombow brushes because I've saved up enough every year, but my mom has a rule where i can't get pens over 5 dollars each :( so I've gotten the cheap brush pens, the ones where they fray easily

[@AdmiralShinee]

Tell your mom that spending a little more and getting quality pens will help them last longer and therefore save more. It's called an investment

[@huriyaumer]

I have bought some brush pens but they donot work good..at first their nib was working great but now it's not and the nib is not perfect either because of which I can't do lettering so what should I do?and why has it happened?Am I pushing it too hard or..?😕😕

[@kateherrera1398]

Do we need to use a brush pen so the writing will be good?

[@EnsignInsights]

Nope! You can use any pen depending on the style you’re going for 😊

It looks simple when you write it but when ur done I wonder: *how how how how how how*

[@gil850]

what should I use if I only have a chisel and duel tip but no brush tip

[@EnsignInsights]

I would suggest Faux Calligraphy! You can do it with any fineliner pen. I have a faux calligraphy basics tutorial video you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKfWdZtuYqh9eJI

Whenever I letter I concentrated so much on making it look good I spell the word completely wrong. Help me

[@calendars4]

Love you btw

Haha I don’t have a solution for this because I do it all the time!! It does help to sketch it out first! Thanks for watching!

[@justinnguyen1215]

Why is this frikin me

[@natalienewton3711]

I like to sketch first, hand lettering is "drawing letters" rather than "writing" 👍

2:03 HOW DO YOU CALL THAT I WANT TO LEARN THAT TOOoOoOooOoooO

[@michellemm4chase52]

What about how to learn hand lettering without an special brush, marker, or pen

Hermione Lovegood I don’t know where you live but I live in the US and it’s correctly spelled “practice” here. :)

[@sandra-my2io]

*practise* not practice for the title

[@shanksleftarm6819]

Well where I live here, we say it "practice", so both work ig? 🤷

[@EnsignInsights]

Practice is correct in the USA where I live. I think practise must be the British English

[@sandra-my2io]

Right , in most countries of the world , practice is a noun and practise is a verb. America is different.
