I never thought of improving my handwriting, I thought it was perfect just as it was, because my sister had much worseer handwriting than mine. Than today I saw that my cousin had much beautiful handwriting and it looked like he writing calligraphy so I thought of trying it too
That is way above my talent. I watched this because i have bad handwriting and this happen to be in my recommended list. It amazed me that people can do this. I’ve Never been more impressed by the word Monday. I would never be able to get my lines to connect and come together like that. This is like watching somebody paint.
This guy created his own life from his experiences. He makes a book even interesting. He inspires me on another level. An honor to have met him in here
I want you to know that I've been playing at calligraphy for many many years. I've even addressed wedding invites. But this video and the following one has finally pulled everything together for me. I tried the pencil one and could NOT believe the results. I was stunned. Then I used the pens from the next video and thought why haven't I picked this up before. Thank you so very much for this help. I'm overwhelmed with the technique I am now using. This is a "believe it or not." Kudos to you.
I’m reading the comments here, being like “what?!” Honestly, you don’t need a calligraphy pen to do calligraphy. In my opinion, pencil is easier to use. But it depends on the type of pencil that you like to use. In the video, she shows a standard pencil, which is fine if you like that type and of pencil. But for those who prefer a mechanical pencil, it’s better use that.
Wow. This is the first video where i am not getting sad over the fact that i don't have loads of those expensive calligraphy pens. I'm a beginner and i want to try easy without spending money first. And I'm so thankful i found this video.
love the encouragement, "basic calligraphy strokes does improve handwriting and calligraphy a million percent". Thanks for the awesome vids! Blessings!
This was just an absolute pleasure to watch. I'm getting into handlettering in general and calligraphy is such a beautiful way to write. I am DEFINTELY going to watch your Beginner Calligraphy 101 video next! Thank you so much for sharing!
I want to thank you sincerely for this tip. Never occurred in my learning ef calligraphy to attempt it with pencil. I use 0.9mm mechanical pencil in 2B lead.
I am mesmerized by your ability not only to do calligraphy but, to communicate your knowledge. I have been doing watercolor cards for friends but was missing good writing. Lots to learn from you. Thanks a lot.
FABULOUS Becca! Going in search of my drawing pencil later today! You are SUCH a natural-born teacher; I am so in awe and appreciative! Again, a million thanks!!
When I was in 3rd grade I really wanted to improve my hand writing but before trying to improve my writing it was rly good I got many certificates in calligraphy competitions but after I tried to copy one of my frmds hand writing it just was not comfortable but I stuck to it she wrote try slanted letters which was jot my style like that only I tried to change writing again and again but when I came in 5th grade I realized that I am the only one who can write with my style so if my frnds wanted to change writing they won't be able to do it like my like I can't do like them so conclusion is : never try to change ur style cuz you are unique with it u are the only one who can do that u are special so don't try to ruin that speciality u are born with | if just one student changes thier mind about calligraphy after reading this I will be really happy 😊
Omg thank you so much! I thought that calligraphy required special brushes/markers but turns out it's just a matter of talent! PS- your video literally saved my project, thank you so much!!
Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial into the basics. I'vealways liked doodling and working on my handwriting ever since middle school. And i never had the money to buy the calligraphy pen set, like others. Now during the lockdown,I thought I'd do something about it.
Too much help full. I saw calligraphy, but today i lerned how to do that. Thanx for the class😍 some day i also teach you something, if possible, and what i know😊😊 Thanx a lot again😊😊
Hi Morgan Jackson, HB technically means “Hard and Black”. It is usually used for school. The other pencils, for example 3H and 4B, are used for sketching, shading or drawing. You can use HB for calligraphy. It’s your choice. I hope this short passage will help make things more clear. Warm regards, Jessline
Dang!!! You are really good. Calligraphy has been a mystery to me my whole life... like a lot of tutorials, I see the artists writing it, but I still never got it. This is an amazing tutorial- there may be hope for me yet!
That was how I was taught to write in grade three and I got 100% in my yearly exam. Which said, as close to perfect as I have ever seen. After watching this and the next video. I wasn’t taught cursive, I was taught Calligraphy. I just thought my next teacher was really bad at writing. In grade 4 all schools changed to a new way of writing, it was uglier but I could still do it but I never thought I could learn Calligraphy. Then came computers and I stopped writing. My writing is horrible now. Thank you.
I'm a total noob but this simple advice for stroking my every little stroke with pressure differences made my writing alot look like calligraphy (for me atleast 😭😭) thanks alot. Keep the good work up❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing😍i wasn't knowing that we can write calligraphy with a simple pencil✏️... Gonna to try this... Let me spend my quarantine days with a pencil calligraphy
YOU are the best, sorry I can't find the words right now to express how grateful I am for your channel ... YOU are a God sent!!!! Thank you from Melbourne Australia xoxo
This is actually great video about calligraphy. Seriously I don't know a bit about calligraphy. And by watching this video Would like to learn about this. Thanks a lot ma'am. I would like to give a Nickname to you ma'am i.e.., *Pencil madam* 🤣🤣😍 Your great madam.
I do a lot of calligraphy but never knew you could do it with a pencil! This looks like you've done it with a regular calligraphy pen! Wow! I hope I get the hang of it quickly!!
Becca, thank you for creating this video! I really enjoyed the cursive verses calligraphy demonstration. Great practical application! I am looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Omg u r a great teacher!! I actually do fake calligraphy in pencil and pen. But after watching this video I understood the basic downstrokes n upstrokes♥️ Countinue ur good work! #ThanksFromIndia🙏🏻
I really appreciate the first things you said about the light and heavy things. I used to not understand how to starts the alphabet but you just solved my problem ^^
BRAVO! Thanks dear... it was a very helpful video.. I just *think* that I have a beautiful cursive writing... will just apply the trick which you have given that ----- UP-LIGHT, DOWN-DARK!~ I am really happy that I am able to write such a calligraphy... thank you once again and stay connected~🥰🥰🤩😘😗☺
Really loved the way of explaining even though I'm doing calligraphy for the first time. It was pretty easy and I learned how to do it so fast by watching your video. thank you !
Hey I tried using the tip of a highlighter and It worked great You just need to find the pointiest part of the tip and you can get a thin line and a thick line (just with pressure)... This is a great cheap alternative for a brush pen, you don't need an expensive one just get the ones that everyone uses for school.
In my land, past generations were taught calligraphy at school. They also used it in writing, just as cursive writing (but many also used normal non-cursive writing). Nowadays, people here don't really use cursive at all so it's pretty hard to find someone who could write so nicely here (greece)... I had a german guy whose handwriting was really amazing - looked more like your cursive one :) i remember he was kinda shocked when he noticed all my notes were in non cursive style :P he was even more shocked when he figured out the whole class wrote like me :P
That light and dark trick is really awesome.
Hit a like , if u watched this video and thought to try it at home during lockdown ..
Definitely
I did
yeah 😅
true lockdown is best time to learn new things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya but m here bcoz there is my art class and they suggested me this video for calligraphy
I never ever thought that handlettering / calligraphy is possible with "only" a pencil! I'll try this! Thank you for sharing 😊
Your right i will try it too😇
The main thing to remember is that we have to hold pencil light while going upward and heavy while downward. Thank you
Thanks for the tip🤗
yh
Thanks for the tips ...👍😊☺️🤗💝
I have a shitty hand writing and honestly never thought of improving. But I just love to learn. And you're great at teaching, so yeah.... thank you:)
SAME
lmao some people can do calligraphy beautifully but have shit hand writing
Very nice and cool. Thank you very much for teaching this pencil technique. Truly awesome. Bless you.
I never thought of improving my handwriting, I thought it was perfect just as it was, because my sister had much worseer handwriting than mine. Than today I saw that my cousin had much beautiful handwriting and it looked like he writing calligraphy so I thought of trying it too

Yeah
But they're lighter, pens become confortable to grab.
same. just use the things you have that is suitable for you :) the different tools you use will give different results, so choose the one you prefer
Calligraphy with pencil is nice thought.....
Wow. This is the first video where i am not getting sad over the fact that i don't have loads of those expensive calligraphy pens. I'm a beginner and i want to try easy without spending money first. And I'm so thankful i found this video.

You teach so well even a third grader could do it. Great job on talented calligraphy writing. Keep up good teaching!
Hi was gonna buy calligraphy pen
But now I know this can be done with pencil
Thanks a lot
Also you could do monoline regular cursive-style writing and then add the "shading" kinda like fauxiligraphy... it works brilliantly with a pencil!
I did it too it works😀
I am mesmerized by your ability not only to do calligraphy but, to communicate your knowledge.
I have been doing watercolor cards for friends but was missing good writing.
