Me too! haha. I am not a great illustrator but I can handle lettering :)

I don’t know why, but I’m always astonished when the handwriting process is on. It’s so aesthetic

Nice job!!! I love how you went back and forth between you on camera and you showing something. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge too! Nice editing too! Keep up the great work!

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Hi Jesso, Thanks for the kind words :) Luck for your there is an unlimited amount of resources out there to learn! Even up until recently in a big city like Toronto, there weren't many in person workshops so you never know!

Oh wow, I will have to check out that Pentel marker. They are my goto for pencils my whole life but did not know they did the paintbrush pens. I should've known. :)

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Ya! That pen is definitely my #1 favourite!

@kaylanniee 7 лет назад

I really love your tutorials 👏🏽 looking forward to more

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Thank you! Is there anything specific you want to learn more about?

@kaylanniee 7 лет назад

Sarah Types I know you have a Procreate tutorial up already, but could you do more videos on apps you use to create with the iPad? I've been having trouble with clean lines in lettering and drawing with the Apple Pencil. I know it takes some time getting used to but I was just wondering if oh have some tips. Thanks!

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

I can definitely do more apps I use with the iPad Pro. How have you been having trouble with clean lines?

@kaylanniee 7 лет назад

You know how in one of your videos you vectorize your lines in photoshop? The only way I've found to clean up lines is to zoom and fix them with a smaller pen and eraser. By other tips i mean by little things you might do to try perfect your work.

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Oh ok, I actually clean them up in illustrator after procreate - I can definitely show how I do stuff like that :)

@caryngerega9080 7 лет назад

Well done, thank you. I'm headed to the craft store now.

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

hehe you're welcome :)

@airystudies1877 7 лет назад

I loveee this video. Super helpful. I discovered you from your pad pro video. I plan to buy one for school as well has digital illustration.

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Hey! Thanks for the comment :) Glad it was helpful! You'll love it for illustrating, it's so much fun and so easy to just doodle without worry about using up all your ink and paper.

@SeanHastingsBoston 6 лет назад

Great video, learned lots. Thank you!

@loudfunstrawberry4127 7 лет назад

Oh I love this and I am gonna subscribe the hell out of it :DP.S: I want a detailed video on vectorization

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

I'm working on that video now!

@JesseSteinfort 7 лет назад

The "digitize" segment was a nice surprise at the end.

@super4rte588 7 лет назад

Very cool keep writing.

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

#Super 4rte thanks! I definitely plan too :)

@traceymenzel3898 6 лет назад

Thank you for making this affordable

@rafaeltoscanoluppipina8789 6 лет назад

Very good video!

@loudfunstrawberry4127 7 лет назад

up until I had calligraphy classes in my school but after my board exam and college, I can't even tell people I attended a calligraphy class in my school because that would be hard to believe.But sometimes when I focus hard and slow, I can do some badass writing but that's rare.I think a bit more practice will help.

@norascraftcorner1792 7 лет назад

i liked your video its really great ... thanks for that :)

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

you're welcome :)

@lesterlojica8661 7 лет назад

Loved your video! can you share me a link for the Pentel Brush pen you are using? It's looks like its really writes smoothly. Thanks!

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Thanks! This is the pen I'm using: amzn.to/2m4LjyS

@missparan 7 лет назад

what ink do you put in the watercolor pen? thank you! this is really helpful!

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

You can put pretty much anything! Watercolour, calligraphy ink.. or you just load up the back with water and dip it in an ink of choice. I find the second method the easiest because you can switch up the colours easier. It depends on the look your going for as well. For watercolour I would just use water and then dip it in the water colours from a palette.

@leslieannmurallo6033 7 лет назад

Whaaaa it's so nice 💖

@talyfaith 4 года назад

@huangyh05 7 лет назад

Do you have a video on Black Letter cause your black letter is 🔥

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

It's my favourite style and I'd love to, I just am not as confident in my abilities so I don't know that it would be that good of a video! :( But I'm getting better :)

@BirthLikeABoss 7 лет назад

Ah love this - reminds me of my childhood in France where we had classes on this. Such an art! I'm your 215th subbie thanks to #YT4B, looking forward to connecting with you more x

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Thanks Lynn, that's amazing they had classes for hand writing in France! It's so rare!

@mamaphii 7 лет назад

How did you transfer the caligraphy you made to adobe? great video though i learned new things..

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Thanks! There is a quick run through at the end, but I scan it into my computer and then open it up in photoshop to clean it up and then take it into illustrator to vectorize. Is that what you where asking?

@mamaphii 7 лет назад

Sarah Types yes thank you!

@JamieClark 7 лет назад

How does the tracing paper respond to wet ink (like pentel pocket brush, etc)? It looks like it bleeds a bit - is that what you scanned for your final copy? If you used cardstock or other paper, would there be less cleanup in illustrator? Also, have you ever done this to create a typeface to use on the computer, or is it better for each lettered image to be hand made from scratch?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Hey Jamie! Tracing paper is actually nice with the brush pens because it doesn't damage the brush (cause fraying), I think it depends on what kind you buy because I've had some that bleed and some that didn't. If I'm going to put something on paper to scan into my computer I use the marker paper from Canson or a high end printing paper 24#laserjet or 32# laserjet. I have created a type face to use on the computer, I wrote out all the letters and then used tracing paper to perfect them and also used a light pad so I could put regular paper over the tracing paper and re-draw it on the good paper. Creating your own font is A LOT of work and a big process! But basically I wrote out the alphabet using a grid so everything lined up and then scanned it into my computer and used a font software to create it!

@JamieClark 7 лет назад

Sarah Types Thanks for the reply - I'll try out some tracing paper with my brushes and see how it goes (Pentel, Kuretake fudegokochi, Sakura Pigma brush). I guess it would be fun and cool to have made my own typeface, but if I were to use it on invitations or greeting cards, it would probably be not much different than using any downloaded "hand lettered" font... Part of the charm is that someone actually wrote out an invitation or card or envelope, right? Instead of it being printed off by the dozen...

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Ya exactly! :)

@melihatlangit 7 лет назад

awwww.. love this sooo much, thank you Sarah :)

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

You're welcome! :)

@kptrisha1107 6 лет назад

As a left hander I struggle with the trying to get the thickness and thinness correct.Do you have any tips?

@SarahTypes 6 лет назад

sorry no, I'm not a lefty.. but I imagine the pressure is similar. It's tough at the beginning but be extra slow and consciously try to lift your pen on the way up so it's just touching and then press a little hard on the way down.

@anabianca13 7 лет назад

Hi! I'm a newbie :) Are all those pens you mentioned at the start refillable or disposable?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Hey! :) I have a list of them in the description and only 2 are refillable. The water brush is 100% refillable as you can put more ink in the back or water and then just dip it into watercolour paint. The pental brush is sort of refillable, you buy a new cartridge and re-use the brush part. You can also dip this pen into a calligraphy ink because it's just like a paint brush.

@anabianca13 7 лет назад

A huge thanks for the reply and very useful tips since I'm just starting to study calligraphy :)

@Rosario_Ruiz 7 лет назад

great! thanks

@kenny4everloverkiix 7 лет назад

the practice sheets need to be printed in any special paper?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

printer paper is fine, you should high a higher quality so there is less bleeding and it's easier on your pens, something like this: amzn.to/2lH7v0V

@maritthostenson1804 7 лет назад

Do you have any tips for lefties?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

How did you capture what you were doing on Instagram on your phone without recording?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

I used quicktime, you plug your phone into your man.. open quicktime, do a new movie recording and from the drop down by the record button you select your phone :)

@kagerokki3816 5 лет назад

@melolusion5718 7 лет назад

ive got copic ciao but they just don't turn out the way they should look :( any advice?

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

Those are definitely harder... I find the Copic Sketch is a little easier to use (still more on the difficult side) A great beginner pen is the tombow fudenosuke

@zahrakurlova6504 7 лет назад

Sarah Types should i buy the hard/soft tip im a beginnrr

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

It's kind of a personal preference.. they are somewhat similar. If you can, grab both and see which you like better :) Either way, they are pretty easy to use :)

@zahrakurlova6504 7 лет назад

Sarah Types ok thx and one more thing, my brush keep fraying is there any way to fix frayed brush pen or should i use some type of paper to prevent it from fraying thx :)

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

It is usually the paper that is causing the pen to fray, you want a super smooth paper! Also don't press so hard :)

it's so sad that I'm a left handed person :(

@chelseaaa7x 7 лет назад

so am i but i have been practising, there's some youtubers who do left handed calligraphy :)

@SarahTypes 7 лет назад

I've seen quite a few calligraphers through instagram and in facebook groups that are left handed. I'm sure if you do a bit of searching you can find some lefty resources!
