How To: Handlettering and Calligraphy for Beginners Tutorial 2021 | How To Handletter Best Tips

[@gabi_rebello]

This is the second time I'm trying to learn handlettering. The first time was a long time ago and my lettering didn't improve. I had no clue of what I was doing wrong, or how to hold a brush pen and I ended up ruining a bunch of expensive pens for nothing. This time however, I'm fully committed to it. I've been practicing everyday and I actually purchase two of your working sheets (Simplified Lettering and The Eloise) after taking the mini course and watching a lot of your videos. You have no idea of how helpful it has been! I'm keeping tracking of my evolution by writing everyday the same phrase and it's been amazing! I really want to thank you, because I honestly thought that I could never learn how to do it, but here I am, improving little by little everyday! Thank you so much!

Best of luck 🤞 thanks 😊

You are so awesome I have been going from artist artist artist to artist ever since Covid started because I am a collector and I actually haven’t spent much time practicing today. I finally decided you are it, so everything is you!!! You are so self~aware and empathetic and such an amazing teacher. Plus, you’re monoline alone handwriting is my absolute favorite!!!!

[@saficatchu1987]

okay 0:19 was the life changing second because i literately put my hand on the screen to hold my pen at the correct angle XD

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Ohh that’s smart!! I didn’t even think of that! Thanks for watching!

[@ailanyt.7368]

After 1 year my calligraphy has improved!!!!

[@apscafe]

I love to write I love to watch people writing beautifully I appreciate all the artists

[@batcactus6046]

Thank you for clarifying the different styles in your shop. I had trouble figuring out which one I wanted from the photos.

[@aunixia8604]

I needed this video!!! Tysm for this! I am just starting to learn how to hand letter so I can make an Instagram worthy bujo! LOL You are a lifesaver sis!

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Ohh that's so fun! I hope it goes well! Thanks for watching!

[@miskatulscoolcrafts.4579]

This was super duper affordable .. I needed this in the whole KZbin ...oh gosh ! Thanks a lot You did it with every regular pen

[@AionNoBara]

I really love all of your videos. Thank you for this concise update =) I think you're one of the first to say break it down by individual shapes. We all learn the ABC strokes in Kindergarten and with cursive and it's the same way-- practice. I'm glad I took Japanese classes, because this is the same way of learning-- by each shape and each stroke. There were notebooks filled with messy pages XD I can apply this to handlettering, too. Thank you for all your hard work and recommendations!

[@JournalingWithNadia]

I have been practicing with worksheets but when I try to do it on my own, it never looks as good. Watching your videos and following your tips has been so helpful! It's so hard to find the mistakes in handlettering when you're new because you don't even know what you need to pay attention to. Thank you so much for your videos 💕

[@wanderingcreativity]

Thankful for your help these are soothing and heartwarming to watch how cool! :)

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Thank you so much, friend!

[@Msavedra78]

Thank you this is soo helpful . The thing I struggle with the most is connecting letters and spacing

[@abbyaschu]

Also, thanks for your amazing videos which have completely helped me not die of boredom and actually learn stuff during COVID

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Aw thank you so much for watching! I know these are hard times!

[@zarnishm2732]

Hi dear, Many many thanks . Initially I was thinking that you are telling same points as others ,but in your own way. LATER your video points at 11:09 & after that changed my thought and helped me a lot. Thanks again. 💖🌺

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@shalinib9670]

Aah, yes, the lowercase k, my mortal enemy ;-; Amazing video, thanks 😃

[@creatorlady2M]

Lol same

[@meenajoshi21]

“...my mortal enemy” 🤣

[@iamjhazminejoy]

Love your videos. Still struggling with brushes because im a left handed. and the "k" lower case. Thank you.❤

[@recoveringsoul755]

I am so happy I was able to take Calligraphy class in Jr High, I think maybe summer school. We used Speedball pens with different nibs and ink wells. It was fun. I need to get back into that because it has been a long time and I've forgotten how. Trying to make a planner for 2020 made me realize how much I need to work on my lettering. I've seen one channel using the Pentel calligraphy pens as dip pens when they ran out of ink. I need to see if I can find couple of those maybe.

[@juliepannullo7818]

This video was so helpful!!!!! I am at least 30% better!!! Thank you! You are a LIFESAVER!! Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

[@pattiistar]

Hey, I love the tips! I am left handed and find it difficult as I feel like I am doing it from another direction aa in all the tutorials I’ve seen. What would you recommend? Thank you

[@TechGirl84]

This video was so helpful! I just recently purchased your Eloise worksheets, and I’m really making some progress!

[@pari8158]

Your videos are super helpful and entertaining!

[@apscafe]

Really appreciate it

[@aestheticaya3868]

I learned a lot about handlettering because of your videas 💕Thank you💕

[@joychapman2300]

For the very first time instead of screenshot, Ing everything I am actually going to pay for some practice sheets. Thank you.

[@aunixia8604]

Thanks so much! This really helped me! I have a question: would you reccomend a thicker or thinner brush for a beginner? :)

[@HowtoHandLetter]

You’re welcome! And it kind of depends a bit on what you can find and what you like. If you only like the look of big chunky lettering, than I think it’s ok to start there! But if you like the look of small lettering, I think a pentel touch is a GREAT brush pen for beginners! Hope that helps!

[@aunixia8604]

@@HowtoHandLetter yes it does! Thank you c:

[@jody-lynncolbourne8603]

Just wondering what pen you are using to do the purple mono line alphabet. It looks like a water pen?

[@Ambardinst]

very useful, have you ever used recycled paper for caligraphy

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Thank you! I have bought notebooks with recycled paper, but not made my own yet! I did buy the supplies to create my own paper out of my paper scraps though so I am definitely planning to try that. It may not be the best for delicate brush pens, but maybe watercolor! Thanks for watching!

[@Ambardinst]

@@HowtoHandLetter thank you for the response, happy to discuss creativity and art, making recycled paper in various ways the quality results are thick, thin, flat, curved, also the fibers can be different, with various trials producing various characters of recycled paper that can be used for certain purposes, for example some are coated with egg whites etc. so there are types that are suitable for delicate brush pens and/or for watercolors as well as for other uses

May i know what is the name the sheet you use starting from timeline 15:55 please?

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Hello! Yes, that is one of the practice words pages from the Eloise worksheets! Thanks for watching!

[@haedawn1940]

this is so helpful, thank you so much for this. ♥

[@dinkledorfette]

Thank you so much! I love the simplicity of your tutorials and can't wait to purchase the practice sheets. I'm a freelance artist, but I've always turned to faux lettering for my work. I've been wanting to get into brush lettering so I can upgrade my skills, whether I use it for my business or not. I just think it's great when we practice and test our own abilities.
