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!
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! :)
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.
Awesome video! She’s the best teacher I ´ce seen so far so accurate, soft spoken and articulate. Love her tips. She’s very pretty and professional. Just thought I’d mention…Love her videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
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!
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.
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
Absolutely a very good training video on how to go about creating a set of words in calligraphy. I never knew all this! I am so HAPPY to finally learn all these pre-steps before actually putting calligraphy onto an artwork or envelope. I did calligraphy many years ago (Did NOT learn all the nuances that are actually involved in creating good -quality work and after a while I did get a bit discouraged and stopped doing any calligraphy. So happy that I am back and learning how to actually create calligraphy and make it all look good. Many thanks for posting this informative video.
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. 😊🙏🙏🙏
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. 😊
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!
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!
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!!
Wether the in is in or not, does it really matter ? The point of this video is very clear and that is what matters. Excellent video! I learnt something new, thank you,
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!
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...
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. 💃🏼
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!🙏❤
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!
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. 😘
Really well done! I enjoyed seeing your whole process on it. I have been really skittish on doing quotes just because of this process, but now I have some more confidence with your guidance. Thank you!
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
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!
She did discuss the difference between cursive and calligraphy in her video Basic Calligraphy Strokes (Beginner Calligraphy 101). This is a modern version of calligraphy using brush pens instead of traditional calligraphy using the metal nubs and ink pot. So there is bound to be visual differences.
@@TheHappyEverCrafter Oh I've been there... spent ages on a full calligraphed page and then realised afterwards (with a few bleeps) that I left a word out! There's no undo button with real calligraphy which is why handmade things are so much more appreciated because you only get one go at it or else have to start all over. This is why I can appreciate how great this video is because it's real and shows how challenging and time consuming it is. Besides the omission of the "in" in the second example doesn't change the method that you were teaching in any way, and the method itself is excellent and very helpful.
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.
Discovering this account was the best thing that happened to me this week!! I learned so many new things... thank you so much

Amanda rach lee is better. Skl.

I realized something very important: Every art is really effortless and easy until you actually begin doing it.
Great work! 😅🥰
You are an excellent teacher!

Such a good informative and learning video.
Thankyou so much
What do you do when you leave out the “in” from #1? I have wanted to learn to do calligraphy for years. You make it look so easy.
Mistakes happen! You try to "fix" it or just start over! :)
No regerts.
This isn't real caligraphy. Looks more like cursive writing. I guess they don't teach that in school anymore.

‘In in in in in in in’ is all I could thunk about from 13:24 on. Love the tutorial! Never new you had to rewrite so many times. Thanks
This was super helpful! Thank you!!!
This is a totally fantastic video thanks so much for explaining it all so clearly 😃
Looks like a lot of fun...look forward to trying it.
Extremely valuable! Thanks!
