Ovals have definitely been difficult for me. I think this will help tremendously, thanks! To all the other newbies, no matter how bad your lettering looks in the beginning, practice does help tremendously! I was absolutely amazed the first time I was able to produce a decent row of ovals that actually looked like brush lettering! *Another tip that helped me:* review your work after each line. Look at each stroke or letter and critique it. Determine where you went wrong and imagine yourself making the necessary corrections. Then start on your next line applying the corrections. Repeat. This will increase your skill exponentially. When I started practicing brush lettering, I thought the *repetition* alone was the key. I thought the goal was to do as many strokes as possible until the muscle memory kicked in. That may work, I don’t know, but reviewing, critiquing, and correcting your work, line by line, will produce results a lot faster.
I just found your channel. Finally, someone who actually shows us HOW to do this, and every aspect of how to do it. I just started doing calligraphy and proper writing techniques. And, THIS is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you, will watch all your videos.
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for, for weeks now. You are an excellent teacher with this. So, excited to continue now. Was getting discouraged in the tutorals I was watching, because they go to fast, or don't explain the pressure needed, and details that YOU describe. Just excellent.
I found these pens in my sewing room, I don’t know how many years I have had them. I would just like to tell everyone that out of several brands of markers that I own, Kelly Creates pens are still juicy and useable. Quite happy !
I'm just begining brush lettering and your video was extremely helpful. i checked out your other videos too and they helped me a BUNCH. Thank you for these kind of videos.
Great video. You really break it down all the steps and timing. But I'm probably going to fall asleep before I get to practice because your voice is so sooth
thank you Kelly, i love your humour, you are so natural! I love, its good to see even the Profis dont always get everything how they want:) love your helpful videos, its a lot of work but no sweat, you do a wonderful job of teaching! Regards from Switzerland.
I enjoy looking at your beautiful strokes! So therapeutic! I'm working on my brush letter C which is extremely hard for me to write and transit smoothly especially at the beginning of the stroke... Wondering if the issue is with the way I hold the brush pen or the angle. I'm really not good with writing big letters.
“That one was pretty good!” 😂 if your was just pretty good I’m afraid to start. Mine will be horrible then. 🤦♀️ I’ll start at this tomorrow. Wish me luck. 🤞🏻
kellycreates i started with the beginning strokes and I think it’s horrible. But, practice make perfect right? But for how long would I need to practice these strokes before I can start the alphabet?
