This is the simplest and most thorough tutorial on calligraphy I've ever seen ! I learned just about everything needed to write basic calligraphy. You're a great teacher .
Hi! I am a girl of 13 and fond of art and craft .I love calligraphy but didn't know mush about it and your calligraphy videos had helped me a lot .So for that thank you so so much 💜💜💜💜
I've tried Calligraphy for years. I've spent $$ on kits, how-to books, and video tapes (told you it's been years, LOL). Your 5-ish minutes video taught me more than all the kits put together. You are a great instructor! Thanks for the 3. Can't wait to start working on it again. Nice that all the kits came with lined/graph paper; makes me think it wasn't money wasted!🙂
Having you so simply explain the basics makes it so anyone who can hold a writing instrument can do calligraphy. What a teaching gift you have and you’re a blessing for sharing your talents.
BAM! I've wanted to do this for so many years but thought my handwriting was too bad. THANK YOU! I love the way you broke it down so simple for a beginner. You are a very good teacher. 😊👍
I took a course in calligraphy abt 40+ yrs ago. But i never kept up on it, sadly. But your video has encouraged we to get out a pass of grid paper & start anew! Hugs to you. I'm feeling the excitement for beautiful handwriting!
I read a lot of the comments before I watched the video, and I kept thinking "There's no way all these people are right about this short video!"... But then I watched it. Oh my goodness.... I am astonished with how I was never taught this after trying to learn how to do calligraphy! And I've been interested in this ever since I was in the 6th grade in the back in 1989-90!! So I definitely tip my hat to you ma'am for compressing the absolute basics of calligraphy and putting them in this short, but very comprehensive video. And to think I just got a new set of brush pens delivered yesterday... I can't wait!!!
I can't believe you did this in five minutes. I bet a formal course would try to space this out into an hour or more but you managed to compress it to the most informative little video. Very impressive! This is why I love RUclips.
Lmao. So dumb story but a girl asked me out on a date. She she said in her hinge profile that if I want to ask her out, I need to write in my finest calligraphy. Genuinely thought it to be impossible for me to be able to do this. This looks possible. I truly thank you, you might've just saved my ass 😅
You are a wonderful teacher! Concise and great tips. I’ve been doing calligraphy for a while now but am always looking for ways to teach others. This is a great resource
I watched this video plus your videos: lowercase alphabet, uppercase alphabet and how to connect the letters into words (all on modern calligraphy because I'm an absolute begginer), I've been practicing for about half an hour and it already looks like I'm using this method for about a year! Your explaining is so good! Thank you so much!
Okay, I am hooked!! I tried calligraphy once after a visit to the Japanese Deer Park in Los Angeles when I was 12. Mom bought me a kit which includes some pens, nibs, paper, and ink. I tried for a couple of weeks and never got anywhere near as far as I just did in 5 minutes with this video, following along with paper and pencil -- thank you so much! You definitely have a new subscriber!
I have been battling with this particular font for many, many moons. The way you broke it down was perfect. You turned it into a one & done lesson. Of course I'll play around with it as to come up with my own style, but all I can say is Thanx a ton and be safe 🤘.
wow my friends knew calligraphy and never teaches me and just show me their calligraphy work at me and I didn't have the supplies to study it but after I saw this video I am sooo happy thank you so much
This was so easy to understand that I could dp this for hours. ❤ i hope I find more tutorials like this.. the first video I saw before you, discouraged me a little because i didn't have the same tools, but this is just a pencil. ❤ I feel inspired now
Found your video by accident, while looking for how a tutorial for Calligraphr... but it was a good video, this is a lost art, glad to see people still doing this.
years ago The Kansas City Jewelry School offered courses on hand engraving. the first several months consisted of practicing lettering strokes, with a pencil, similar to this.
Nice one! Pressure is essential part in calligraphy. Upward light and downward harder reveals balance. We can't write light both sides and vice versa. This is the beauty of this art. God bless
Thank you for skipping the pleasantries and getting right to the lesson, I love that! I am an old coot and learned cursive but over the years it kind of got changed and I'd like to get back to how I used to write. 84 is not too old right?!
Wow! I did calligraphy with a calligraphy pen to get my thick & thins by turning pen to a 45 degree angle. This is amazing, i never knew you could do this with a sharp pencil. It was the angle not the pressure that made the thick & thins.
I always love calligraphy when I arrive to a new city I had bought a calligraphy set and someone stoled it along with my painting and art books but I have always loved to make writing look beautiful in school when I would write I will make leaves and draw pictures on my printing in school and my teacher would yell a me. But thank you for making something I got in trouble for so simple and accepting in 5 minutes
omg... i learned a lot in just 5 min ish tutorial.... LEGIT 100%!!! thank you for sharing these basics of calligraphy! also i used pencil too and still effective!!!
Learned a lot! 😍 I really thought you need to have a very good penmanship. Thanks for pointing it out. Now i know why calligraphy artist write per stroke. 😆😅😁
Thank you very much for sharing your skills so generously. I am starting to learn calligraphy and love your videos and your enthusiasm and friendliness. 😀
@@ccbarr58yes this is just cursive. Calligraphy is more than just the type of pen. It's the style of penmanship. Basically it's making the words look more artistic.
Wow, I paid money to take a calligraphy course from Udemy and it was not worth it compared to this... I did a calligraphic writing with just a pencil in just 5 minutes! It's like a miracle, thank you... 💐
WOW!!! I've always wanted to try calligraphy and you explained more, in less than 5 minutes, than any other instructions I've tried. I just found your channel and I subscribed based on this video. Thank you so much! Now I'll be binge watching the rest of your videos and checking out your website. Happy New Year!
I love how quickly you did this video. Usually videos give me thier life story and huge explanation before they start and i lose interest fast. This hooked me and i will be looking into your free tutorials, so thankyou !!
I must admit, I have no Idea how I got here, but when I saw the title and thought no way, Impossible. But after watching, I must admit, you delivered ma'am. Well done.
@The Happy Ever Crafter • Becca: This is the best tutorial I have seen on caligraphy. I've tried on and off for years, trying to learn from books and videos and nothing has clicked. You've made sense of it all by breaking caligraphy down into individual strokes. I can't wait to start practicing these basics so I can move on to capital letters and tricky letters like "s". Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. 👍
I've never written the word "hug" so beautifully!
Why can’t all video tuitions be like this, to the point, interesting and most important, educational. I really enjoyed your tuition, great job
Awesome
Because they are trying to make money
Thank you. Interesting - I am 66years old and when I was in Grade 1 this is how the taught us to write every day! 🤩

I need this exact same thing, but for left handed people. My hand doesn't want to do the same thing exactly haha.

I've never tried this art because I thought it would be hard to do. Thank you for breaking it down so simple.
Es muy claro y me atrajo mucho la caligrafía !! Empezaré a practicar!! Gracias !!!
Wow!! Who knew just pencil could look so amazing!! This is an incredible tutorial!!!

I am so excited to get back into practicing this. ✏️
This was sooooo simple! Thank You
This is the best primary and quick Calligraphy, and I just did it on an e-ink tablet. More to learn, and I will do that on paper.

Caligraphy is done with fountain pens or dip pens. The sample words looks like cursive.
