    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.

    • @jennycreationstudio
      @jennycreationstudio 3 года назад +56

      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

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.

    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 😊

    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

    Nice video. There is also shaving and sanding the pencil to make the lead flat like a calligraphy pen to get thick and thin strokes. A carpenters pencil already has a flat lead. There are also flat nibbed felt tipped pens at art stores. Satin Design by Bienfang is a great translucent paper that you can put lined or graph paper underneath.
