Did anyone notice on the intermediate layout the word IN was omitted on the final layout? Love the video. It's always interesting to see how much goes into something that appears to be so simply.
I went back to see the point where it was omitted and can see myself doing the same thing and not feeling the need to draw attention to it. Just wild to imagine a human does human things like the rest of us imperfect humans.
And now we know why people who do calligraphy get paid so much. It takes a LOT of work but you make it easy and fun. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your ideas and being such an inspiration.
I am a middle school art teacher and our last project of the semester is to pick a quote from a favorite cartoon character and then to write it out in calligraphy lettering. I have watched many of your videos and other youtuber's videos, and I have to say that YOU by FAR are the BEST at explaining and teaching!! Thank you! :)
My biggest take away from this is correcting your sloppy copy with a red pen. Something so simple but so effective! I've been toying around with hand lettering for about a year now but am not confident enough to call myself anything other than "beginner". Your videos are helping me gain a lot of confidence in my work. Thank you for your hard work Becca! P.S. I absolutely LOVE the Dad Jokes in your emails! Haha!
I'm looking forward to your videos. I was always task writing detail while serving in the Air Force almost 30 years ago. So, I have pretty good writing skills with plain writing . You videos are easy to follow and your work is awesome. Just by chance my wife bought me a tombow writing set a few months back. I figured while we are staying home to fight Covid 19 I can learn a new craft. I'm really looking forward to leaning this new talent while I relax in my Colorado mountain paradise.
These new "beginner" videos you've been doing lately are fantastic! I've been doing calligraphy for about a year and would consider myself intermediate, but I'm still learning so much from them. Thank you!!
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me.
That was SO SO incredibly helpful!! I’m also relieved to see I’m not the only one that starts a word and ends up writing a different word ! I’m so focused on my lettering! thanks! Kari
THESE! THESE are the instruction videos I've waited for for ever . Thank you a million times over. I can't even begin to tell you how seriously helpful they are!
OMG this is the secret of this technique 🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍wow This is so valuable video for me 🙏🙏🙏 I have been practising for 1year but today I got the technique. Thank you so very much for sharing this video. 😊🙏🙏🙏
This was extremely helpful! You always do an AWESOME job explaining your process. I appreciate how you have beginning, intermediate, and advanced examples. Thanks so much! :)
I always wondered how calligraphers managed to come up with balanced layouts and how they decided where to add the flourishes. I now know that these two things are related and know the entire process behind layouts. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO YOU!!
I’ve been doing layouts for Calligraphy paintings, for nearly a year. I’m still finding my way around designs but I’m generally ok but my current one has got me stumped really bad so I’m really glad I came across this because I’ve laid out the lettering about 10 timed today with no luck. You have given me some ideas so hopefully tomorrow will be more successful!
With your tutorials I became better at calligraphy I don't know how to thank you! Thank you sooo much I love you! ( also i am a girl not a boy) you are my favourite artist!
Thanks I have been looking at my handwriting for years. My mother had beautiful handwriting and I want to improve mine to do beautiful writings even letters or just do quotes/sayings for myself even for little gifts. I am 55 and feel extremely old to start but I hope I have the time to do this. Thanks again for your videos please keep us feeling we can do something. It is wonderful art form as now technology has taken over writing so much. We cannot loose this beautiful skill. Much love to your wonder work from Louise in Australia. 💕
Thanks I feel much better to know I am not being unrealistic and being stupid about the idea of improving my writing style and learn a lot neater writing. Ok practise practise is important. Love this video. Thank you.
What a great way to do this! I LOVE that you made mistakes... it really shows the entire process so that you can catch those mistakes before you make them permanent on the final piece. Good job! Thank you. 😊
I think I watched your videos in a pretty good sequence, Ms. Becca. I just finished watching your tutorial on flourishes and bouncy lettering and I've already practiced them too. I'm happy that I have ran into this video of yours about layouting calligraphy. Thank you so much. You are the best teacher, or if not, one of the best teachers on calligraphy and handlettering. Stay safe and thank you, again. 😊
Wow, i've been doing it wrong the whole time. Tracing paper makes our life easier, omg! that is the secrettttt😍😍😍 thank you so so much! You are a genius!
I just started doing by calligraphy quotes from Pinterest and it was not too good not too bad and then my frnd told me that learn calligraphy from this channel so I am really really thankful to u
I think we all saw the the "IN" disappear. I think it's because we want to learn. So any little thing we will notice. But I'll tell you , this girl has talent.
I have struggled for years with layout. Thank you for a totally brilliant tutorial which completely helps me! I wish I’d known this from the beginning. I now subscribe to your awesome channel.
This is very in depth and super helpful. It requires quite a few steps to figure it all out but it's worth to put in a bit more effort into planning and in that way avoid the frustration of having to rework, not knowing where your mistake is, if tat makes sense. By the way, I often forget to dot my 'i's, no big deal...
Great info! Thank you for so generously sharing your valuable experience. Thanks also for making a 'mistake' just to give the rest of us confidence that we can do so as well and not consider the effort impossible. 😊
New subscriber here!👋 I used to do faux lettering back in high school and for some reason I just stopped doing it. Now that I have my own kids, I want to teach them how to write legibly and slowly introduced them into calligraphy as I am relearning at the same time. I learned a lot from this video and hope to learn more! God Bless!🙏❤
Thanks, your tips, et al are very easy and practical to understand. At first I thought I won't need the grid paper and tracing paper, but you make it very very clear, and so much easier for a beginner to get better at calligraphy through these simple but helpful tips!
This is so helpful. I've been lettering for a little over a year now, and I've been struggling with my layouts. Not sure why I didn't watch this sooner. Thanks for the help!
Good Day All, Watching this video in Nov 2019. Thank you for sharing in details work hand writing skills. Human beings hand writing skill is truly timeless master piece of art. I am motivated to improve my hand writing skill.
You are an excellent instructor! This was sooooo clear and helpful! BTW, a friend once sent out a birth announcement saying her little "angle" was born. I found it endearing as your error was!
Love the tracing paper hack for recentering! Great tip for a beginner! Loved the tutorial and look forward to digging into more. Glad I found your channel. 💃🏼
What a fantastic lesson!! I’m going to do a quote for my daughter and had no idea how to begin but thanks for to you, I now know how I’m going to do it. Thank you so much 😊 I just love your site and videos. 😘
You have the best processes. I cannot wait for my supplies to arrive and your challenge to start in January. My Rhodia pads and Tombows are in transit as we speak and I’m logged in ready to begin. Joined the FB group and so ready. My only concern is being left handed I always smudge my work. I wonder if wearing one of those little half gloves like they do when using IPad Pro/Procreate program will help?
@@TheHappyEverCrafter Yes i did lol. You are awesome thank you so much for taking the time to answer back. I just love all that you do. Thank you for all your hard work.
You blew my mind with the mating of ascenders and descenders!!! So good to see you practicing safe, and using a cover sheet to trace. ;-) Seriously beautiful penmanship! Question: What percentage if penmanship can be acheived by practice and time, and what is natural born gift for lack of better term. Hopefully that question makes sense, I just feel some have a more natural ability for artistic writings. Thanks.
I feel the same but I think that is why they cannot give a exact time on how long we should practice, some will take longer to get it, others will move forward faster.
Great tips! I prefer typing my quote in Microsoft Word for laying out my lettering. Your able to justify text, adjust line spacing, correct spelling, margins, play with Font variations text sizes. When I have it looking good print out then use Tracing paper 📃 then #handletter in my own lettering style.
Did anyone notice on the intermediate layout the word IN was omitted on the final layout? Love the video. It's always interesting to see how much goes into something that appears to be so simply.
Yes. Now I don't need to post the comment.
When?
Did she leave the IN out on purpose? Would it make the layout different? Great tips though!!
Me.. I was willing Becca to remember as she was re tracing 🤦🏻♀️. Bless. Fantastic videos though and we get the gist 🥰
I went back to see the point where it was omitted and can see myself doing the same thing and not feeling the need to draw attention to it. Just wild to imagine a human does human things like the rest of us imperfect humans.

I realized something very important: Every art is really effortless and easy until you actually begin doing it.
Great work! 😅🥰
Discovering this account was the best thing that happened to me this week!! I learned so many new things... thank you so much
I love it. An honest mistake reminds us we are all human. This is an AWESOME tutorial no matter what!!!!!
I just came here for the “in” comments.🤣 Poor Becca! You’re a good sport!
Team Fish lol same
Team Fish love this Becca! Thanks for sharing!
😂😂
I like how all your words stay within the number of blocks that you choose. Very uniform...it looks so natural when you do it. Thanks for video.
I'm looking forward to your videos. I was always task writing detail while serving in the Air Force almost 30 years ago. So, I have pretty good writing skills with plain writing .

I'm so glad you're finding them helpful, Nancy! Wish I'd started doing these years ago!
Amanda rach lee is better. Skl.

This was extremely helpful!!! I would love to see even more of these! Choose a quote, work it out in different layouts. Love it! Thanks

I absolutely love your tutorials as I love to just craft and I want to dabble in calligraphy! Thank you for these videos!!! A satisfied subscriber!!!
