I definitely needed this video a couple of years ago. I bought so many Tombows from my local shop ready to do ‘all the calligraphy’ 🙌🏼🤦🏻‍♀️😂 OMG…my calligraphy was horrid, the tips were shocking and way too soft, too large for a beginner like me. I’ve since done a ton a research, downloaded a bucketload of practice sheets and use much smaller tips. I love your style, your practice sheets and have tried many times to get your workbooks from our town’s Spotlight store without any luck. Little videos like these are a huge help. I may just get those Tombows back out and have a play again. 😉📝

Sometimes little changes can make a big difference with different pens. :)

I have definitely noticed a difference when I am working with softer tips versus harder ones. When I got my Kelly Creates metallic pens I noticed I needed to increase my x height in order for my transitions to look good and consistent
