    My own calligraphy is based on a combination of book-hand, and italic. I have practiced it for years and can do it from memory without anything to look at as a guide. Many people find it to be pleasing, and appreciate having me give them gifts made in this style. On the other hand, there are lettering styles I do have to see in order to replicate them. In a book that I was using as a teaching aid, it was recommended that I practice a style like this. I've been doing calligraphy for over 30 years, and quite enjoy it. Just in the last year, I started making my own ink. When I retire from my regular job, I would like to do this to earn extra money to supplement my retirement income. My latest batch of ink is still in the works, and was made my boiling pecans to get a brown pigment. I'm adding other ingredients to darken the color. It took me 3 days to boil the pecans, and then condense down the resulting color. I still have about 3 weeks to go to mature the ink to usability, unless you want brown ink. For additional styles I like, for which I need a guide are, Celtic, and Gothic Black letter. I wish you well in your own endeavors.

    What a great, thorough tutorial! We are hosting a big holiday party this weekend for my husband's work and I thought "wouldn't it be nice to have placards by each dish with pretty lettering showing the name of the dish". Then down the rabbit hole I went (and to the art store for appropriate markers). Wow. never knew how involved this was, although 5 min into your video and I'm already improving (at least enough to get me through this party!). Thank you!!

      featherqueen31: As someone who has a bullet journal, just because you don’t know calligraphy, doesn’t mean you can’t do it! There are so many other fonts and designs you can experiment on! You can even use highlighters, but make sure they aren’t the ones that can bleed through paper. Just get creative, after all, it is your journal!

      I was really scared too because my handwriting is very ugly... But I tell you one thing: you can always make a sketch of what you want to have in your journal and then use the pen over it so you have more control. Also my solution to the handwriting problem is writing slowly and also practicing on a piece of paper before I write something down. It really helps! (And also be patient, I smudged a lot at the beginning because I wasn't patient, so waiting is a good option)

    • @oj6148

  • @moonflowah
    @moonflowah 3 года назад +1

    So I myself do modern calligraphy like this. I learned it from like one video about the pressure on the brush pen and other stuff, then mostly practice.
    And for anyone who wants to learn it but doesn't have the materials or the money to. I advice practicing with anything you use for writing such as a stationary pen.
    If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Unless ofcourse I don't know them lol

    Hi Amanda, I love your first hand lettering style here. Have you considered making up a hand lettering practice booklet using that style for beginners like me?? I am sure you would have a huge response to it!

    • @jodi9213
      @jodi9213 7 лет назад +9

      Liz S-B A hand lettering booklet wouldn't really be a big help. The best thing to do is to practice constantly. Using a template or anything won't really help you improve. Try doing it yourself to develop your own style and write it consistently.

    • @LizSB
      @LizSB 7 лет назад +21

      Hi @Jodi Truong, I definitely disagree. I have since purchased 3 workbooks from another hand lettering RUclipsr and it has been immensely helpful. It's like when we are in Primary School (I am a teacher) and learning to write... the handwriting books are essential to learn formation. Like with faux calligraphy/handlettering, it's essential to learn how to do the up and down strokes correctly. Thank you however for your response. :)

    As a lefty, calligraphy is extremely difficult with a brush or brush pen. The strokes don't come natural and I usually have to sketch out the letters with a pencil and then color it in. If I use a brush pen or brush I have to turn my hand in a really weird way which usually doesn't work...

    Thank you for the easy instructions. I only have a few fineliners (and none of the other tools shown here), so I've been using my thinest fineliner to write the word, and my thickest one to thicken the downstrokes. It works really nicely most of the time. Luckily, I've never stopped writing in cursive (thank you school), so that was not too much of a challenge. Thank you for the nice instructions :)
