Brush Lettering for Beginners

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

One thing pretty much no one mentions, is that you need to rest at least one finger on the surface of the paper while using a brush. You need that to have a frame of reference regarding how much pressure you are putting on the tip. If you do not rest some of your hand on the paper while using the brush, you won't be able to create consistent thin lines.

[@JetPens]

Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@beeweetea]

Love that u included samples on the side while brush lettering

[@flyurway]

I was always artistic but I'm admiring the talent here.

[@shreegopalchoudhary7242]

I find up strokes more difficult than down strokes

[@4111978abhisheksinha]

True

[@kelleybass4900]

Same

[@HarmanOberoi]

Use hard tip brush pen

[@levisaurus9676]

if you are a beginner and live in the uk pop into your local Tiger store. They have a pack if brush pens (they either have 8 or 10 in I think it's 10) for £2 and they are so good for beginners but they are generally good

[@asisisira]

Thank you for teaching ! If it wasn't this video i wouldn't know that why i couldn't write nicely everytime! Now that i know , i'm gonna practise down strokes & up strokes! :)

[@jolandanvt2379]

hiii sunny,.... I'm playing gt too, lol

[@giorgos7six]

What kind of a pen is this that help in writing the awesome calligraphy lettering? What other kind of pens can i use?

[@MaryJosARoxas]

these brushes are so satisfying

[@PixelionRules]

I like calligraphy with chisel tip pens more. They are easier to use, plus the problem of practicing downstroke or upstroke is not the same for these. All you have to do is hold the pen at the same angle while writing and not moving the tip from the fixed angle. Simple as that.

[@melstevencahilog]

Hi! What would be the best brands of brush pens to use for beginners like me who have problems with controlling the pen?

[@JetPens]

Hi there! We recommend choosing a harder brush pen like this Kuretake brush pen: www.jetpens.com/Kuretake-Disposable-Pocket-Brush-Pen-Fine/pd/3074 or this Zebra brush pen: www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Disposable-Brush-Pen-Fine/pd/2307

[@emmazhang2418]

i recommend the tombow fudenoski pens

[@paulmarts4559]

[@JetPens]

You are very welcome! Happy lettering and thanks for checking out our video!

[@simplyabandoned9547]

O m goshh- thank youuuuuuuuuuuu!

[@Tryamushki]

Hi! Thank you for the lesson! What kind of watercolor paints did you use in this video?

[@JetPens]

We used the Akashiya Japanese Gansai Watercolor Palette Box here: www.jetpens.com/Akashiya-Japanese-Gansai-Watercolor-Palette-Box-24-Color-Set/pd/5808

[@triscuitt]

Good luck! :)

[@marianandrade9898]

Were you able to download the templates? I couldn't find them :(

[@JetPens]

It's under the Tips and Tricks section! static2.jetpens.com/images/a/000/091/91121.jpg?s=695bc6c8db1225b591620174a1c6622a static2.jetpens.com/images/a/000/091/91120.jpg?s=b8bfce4215d978682d6de3cefc8ab0f9 static2.jetpens.com/images/a/000/091/91119.jpg?s=c792ff197c007effa7e335cb3d284d36

[@hammads9045]

There's so much to learn... But I'm excited to see where I can go! I'm practicing at 55 degree stroke angles - I didn't realize there are different angles.. I want to learn how to stagger the letter placements! =D

[@JetPens]

Practice makes perfect! Good luck!

[@TheBlackCat1997able]

Ugh. What if I'm left handed?

[@JetPens]

One of our favorite brush calligraphers is left-handed! The techniques are a little different; you can check her out here: instagram.com/renmadecalligraphy/

[@kuhataparunks]

In fact, one of the world's most popular penmen is left handed. Look up John Decollibus. He was told as a kid that since he was left handed he couldn't write well, he showed the world

[@cookiepizza8331]

Prepared!!😯😯

[@GianciLiamVMagno]

OH NO! WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION!

[@ranishko1591]

Also, being left-handed is cool. A small population is left-handed and it makes you unique. And I read an article about how left-handed people do good in quite different circumstances such as academics, art, and etc. So you are SUPER LUCKY, I think I am the only one in 2019 btw.

[@HanhNguyen-dq7gm]

i just WANT a brush pen loke right now!

[@crstfrdrnt]

great video! very simple yet direct! what font did you use for the presentation?

[@JetPens]

The font is Fira Sans.

[@simplyabandoned9547]

You're also really pretty!

[@ggowc833]

Trimakasih untuk bisa berbagi tutorialnya

[@reb8213]

JetPens, do you ship to Mexico? I have been search for a long time here where I live, but it seems that I have to buy good pens online 😥

[@JetPens]

Yes we do!

[@reb8213]

Thanks!!! 😍

[@aspengrey1898]

I will try my best to learn these though I find them difficult

[@cooldad9370]

what if my cursive is terrible ;-;

[@dcardigan13]

cool dad *whispers* practice *whispers* Practice with the cheaper tools first before moving on the more expensive ones. Like gel pens, perhaps? Have you heard of studywithinspo? He has a video (actually 2) on "how to improve your cursive"

[@reggiebulosan2928]

My cursive is terrible too, but there are a lot of artists that has horrible writing but does incredible art. All you need to do is practice.

[@bigmak1922]

Calligraphy is not slightly different then cursive so it should look better

[@camilleashleycabanas3531]

cursize is not calligraphy

[@louds0ft593]

Hey, does anyon know where to get some good brush pens? Thanks! xxx

[@JetPens]

Hi there! We have tons of amazing brush pens on our website: www.jetpens.com/Brush-Pens/ct/221

[@MAfreenShreya]

JetPens PenPal hey do you guys ship to Montreal, Canada? what's the shipping charge? or are there stores where your pens are available?

[@JetPens]

Shipping prices are based on the weight of the items in an order, as well as the specific location of the delivery address, and please keep in mind that not all methods are available to all areas. Hope this helps!

[@honeybunchesofella5961]

birdcreature I found a bunch of cool brush pens at my local Michaels for a cheap price! I found them just lying around in some of those side racks! However, this channel has a bunch of videos with links to the pens they use in the description. Find one you think would suit you and maybe order that one. Hope this helps! :)

[@irfanansari2053]

Are we need good Handwriting to do a Handlettering?

[@LoveleighLoops]

Nope! Calligraphy is completely different than regular handwriting - as long as you start by learning the basics, you don't need good handwriting to become good at handlettering!

[@pleasehajima2587]

Can you at least list some of the best Watercolor paper brand (cold press)?

[@alexandriadiaz]

Thanks

[@JetPens]

You're welcome!

[@periwinkle033]

What kind of paper is used?

[@JetPens]

Regular printed paper and cardstock!

[@poppygaren7147]

now i want brush pen :( And its Little Bit Pricy :/ Wait Ill go National Bookstore

[@poppygaren7147]

Its a Little Bit

[@glasshoes9337]

Wow! A fellow pinoy! I gues its a struggle for us to get good art supplies:(

[@the_small_cactus8461]

if you have a micheals where you live then in spring (I know its gonna take a while) but everything is half off hope that helped😊

[@hammads9045]

Buying in-store is better. Online prices are marked-up, but people don't realize. And each store is different.. I'm using a Faber Castell soft brush - it's really nice =) It's cheaper than the other brush pens but amazing nonetheless in my opinion

[@dcardigan13]

The_small_ Cactus I don't think we have Michaels here, which is sad because I keep hearing how they have really awesome affordable stuff there. I wanna check out Michaels so bad. But then again, if Michaels in the PH turns out to be like Muji in the PH, then few people will still be able to afford the stuff there.

[@ilaydayukaribas]

Do you think that everyone's writing might be different?

[@JetPens]

Yes, there will definitely be slight variations!

[@ilaydayukaribas]

thanks for the answer, before this message I was worried why my writing was different :)

[@cookiepizza8331]

Where do you get the practice papers?

[@JetPens]

You can download them from our blog post (under Tips and Tricks): www.jetpens.com/blog/brush-lettering-for-beginners/pt/885

[@carsonbeguelin1666]

[@tiffanyd6118]
