TOMBOW LETTERING TIPS | I made these mistakes & now you don't have to!

[@cferracini]

I would still recommend starting with Crayola markers. The Supertips are great. Pentel Brush Sign Pen is also a good starter pen. The tip is smaller and firmer so it's more friendly for beginners.

If anyone is looking for affordable paper with lines, I use campus smart ring notebooks with grid paper and make diagonal lines in pencil. The paper is so smooth and doesn’t bleed through from the ink unless you do multiple strokes on top of each other.

oh my goodness. thank you so much. you are the only reason i keep doing calligraphy

[@HowtoHandLetter]

That is so fun! I’m so glad you can find some inspiration here. Thanks for watching!

[@lydiamartin.]

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Hi 👋🏼! Welcome back, friend. 😘 I sometimes just 'Play All' because I love listening to your voice while I'm doing other things.

[@triciakipfer3523]

Your KZbin presentations are so well done!

[@anujasahay0108]

Tanks for the tips even though i cant afford it…. Juicy brush pens aren’t my type coz… i am a left hander… amd it smudges a lot….. i do get envious of right hand letters for the smudge free stokes…. But then too, i love you ❤️❤️

[@wanderingcreativity]

Tombow - one of favorite brushpens! ;-)

[@hmadlenka]

I wish I saw this video before I bought Tombows as my first pens for learning hand lettering a few years ago... Would save me a lot of frustration! I definitely wouldn't recommend these for a beginner.

[@alvirosy]

This is really helpful, Suzy. Thanks! 😊

[@coralinejones2721]

Thank you for this video💜💜

[@fayx4021]

Helpful video, thank u. May I ask if muji loose paper is suitable for brush pens?

[@muktachikerur7439]

So cool 😊😊👍 Do u have any tips for flourishing in your lettering

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Yes! I will have to make a video on this soon! Thanks for watching!

[@Country_sunflower]

How long do Tombow brush pens last?

[@JBMcGee]

I am a lefty, and I just suck so much at doing it with real pens. Love my ipad. Lol

[@lucyburch3672]

I want to start hand lettering in my bullet journal but I want to practice I but don't really know what paper is best to start with as I don't want to damage my pens down the line

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Hi! Yes, I totally understand this problem! The rhodia dot grid journal has super smooth pages & I feel good about using brush pens in that one! Otherwise there are some marker paper notebooks out there too! Thanks for watching!

[@Kitty-fq1eq]

Love ur videos!

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

[@LetteringArtbyDinda_]

Do you have a link to the paper That you use to print on?

[@ritubhatia7327]

[@anonymous-fw8ib]

❤️

[@strongindependentblackwoma1887]

whats the name of the paper?....it looks very shine, weiird paper lol

[@HowtoHandLetter]

I usually use HP Premium 32 paper so I'm assuming that's what I'm using here!

[@strongindependentblackwoma1887]

@@HowtoHandLetter that's not a typical print paper right?, you paper looks so "plastic"

[@rogierius]

Love your content! Probably heard this before, your voice often has a vocal fry at the end of your sentences. I'm sure in real life it's not a problem, but that vocal fry doesn't work on a lot of audio devices with okay speakers. That vocal fry becomes straining to listen to.

[@HowtoHandLetter]

I have heard that before! I think it’s from years of trying to do voice overs really quietly in the middle of the night because it’s the only time my house is quiet. 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@JournalingWithNadia]

I definitely still feel scared to apply too much pressure 😭

[@HowtoHandLetter]

Yes! It can feel odd to be so heavy handed, but tombow dual brush pens are so strong! Thanks for watching!
