For those of you who study foreign languages, here is a tip. When I got interested in calligraphy, I asked myself when I'd find time for another interest. Then I realized that I could write my vocabulary words. Writing calligraphy forces you to slow down and spend more time on each word so that you remember them better. You'll be learning two things in the same amount of time as one.
Thank you 🖤. Honestly, it was just practice. I lettered every single day even if only 5 minutes for a whole year before it finally clicked. Just have fun with it and don’t get discouraged!
So glad I found you! Just starting out. My interested started during recovery from breast cancer. I had 3 major surgeries and after each one people would give me adult coloring books as gifts and I forgot how much I enjoyed coloring!! Thank you so much!!! ~paula

I just Love Watching you Shelley. I adore your Honesty and Beautiful Work 💕💕💕. I will continue to watch 🎨🖌️✏️ you at Bounce Lettering until I get fully understand it. Keep up the good work 👌👌👌
Yes, it definitely takes practice! Keep doing it though. For me, it was like one day I just got it! Thank you for taking the time to let me know my videos help 💕💕💕
I love your videos! I have been trying to practice lettering and watching all kinds of videos I just haven't been able to get the thin and thick lines. Your crayola video was the first time I successfully lettered and then was able to write my own name!!! I am left handed which makes it even tougher! Not going to lie, I wish my name started with a J because they are so fun!
this is sooooo AWESOME!!! I am so glad it helped and my name starts with a C too, so I get it! Thanks for watching and commenting Carly; I so appreciate the support on the channel! xoxo
Enjoyed your lesson. Using the bouncy letters makes my writing much prettier. I have MS and my writing went to the dogs, but now it looks pretty good. Your tutorials help a lot. Thanks, Deirdre
.really helpful tutorial.. I am practicing bouncy faux calligraphy in times.. but, it end up as a disaster.. I hope I can perfect my bouncy calligraphy now.. thanks again..💚💚

Hi Melea! I try and get to every comment!! Thank you so very much for commenting and I’m so glad my little tips have helped you. Practice is definitely the key, and just have fun and enjoy creating. Big hugs!
Just starting to practice the bouncy style with Crayola markers. My upstrokes are thicker, but I am practicing. This is fun! I want to paint a saying on my wall so I need to get this style perfected! Thanks for the tutorial!
You make it look perfect I’ve been watching your crayons vids and they still don’t come out even as decent. But I have to keep practicing. Thanks for these vids!!
Your work is fun to watch, my bf is the one who is the artist and loves watching tjese vids you make. He uses your advice for invitations for special events. He has great handwriting but he said you helped him with just a few vids.
I really enjoyed your video, this is my first time so now I shall look for your other video's & take it from there. Thank you From Marlene in Australia.

I was actually learning this lockdown for just fun but found out that I started of pretty good so I kept on doing it and somehow it releases my stress and creativity with letters thank you so much. Love you a lots 💟
I love your three videos so far!❤️ So clear and simple! My name is Kerry. I’m new to any lettering. I was gifted a couple of Tombow brush pens I’d like to know how to work with. ❤️

Hi! My name is Celi and I always struggle with making a pretty uppercase C. I’ve always loved lettering but just recently decided to try and learn. It’s not easy for me but I want to keep at it so any tips are greatly appreciated.
I so want to learn how to do this but I feel like I don’t even know where to start. My issue is I don’t know how the letters are supposed to look so I don’t know where to start. I have watched so many videos but still feel lost. Your lettering in this video is so beautiful!!
I totally understand! Have you checked out my Skillshare basics course? There are two printouts to download as part of the course. One for basic drills and one with a lowercase alphabet. Go to my website and click on courses: www.thelemonadestore.com. 💕💕💕 don’t get discouraged
I'm brand new. This is my first time watching you and you know what? I ALREADY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Yes. It only took me 5 seconds to fall! Why? You may ask? Because..I CAN SEE YOUR FACE! NOT JUST YOUR HANDS AND HALF OF YOUR WRITING ARM!!🤗🤗 I'm brand new to lettering. I've already spent way too much money before I've even mastered "Faux"... but that's because I'm hooked! I watch 2 other channels daily. I always try others but I keep coming back to my 2 favs. But... nobody talks TO ME. I just hear their pleasant, hypnotic voices that sometimes lull me to sleep. But you... YOU ARE LOOKING RIGHT AT ME! YOU TOLD ME YOUR NAME! Shelly at the Lemonade store, nice to meet you! I'm Susan the beginner! That's all. I wanted to share how happy I am to get to see the person whose teaching me my new favorite hobby, passion🎉, obsession🥳 and my new LOVE❤❤. OK. Now it's your turn. Show me watch ya got. P.s. please don't pay any attention to me when I'll have a brief but healthy melt down. It happens when I'm learning BIG BRUSH PEN LETTERING! Oh my ✨ ✨starts I get so pi☆☆ed off at myself. I'm a perfectionist and I want things to happen YESTERDAY!! I've learned that true lettering is slow and calm and steady... I'll fife that and try to keep up with whoever I'm watching, forgetting they speed things up a bit of we'd never get through a lesson. I'm getting SO MUCH BETTER!...I really truly am. I had a serious breakthrough last week when I experienced "that" moment, when "it clicks ". Like when you've finally thrown that perfect bowling ball for a strike. Or when you hear that sound your golf club makes when you've hit that "sweet spot" to make Par on that 5th hole that's been my nemesis. Your body and brain finally meet and you feel your muscle making a memory! That's what happened for me with a big brush pen and I made a perfect upper case W with a PERFECT Tail, flippy connection thing😮. It was my first PERFECT LETTER. And they're getting easier to find. So. Ok. I'm really going to stop typing and I'm going to press Play and you're going to help me make miracles 💥💢💣💫💣👍👏 using my hundreds of dollars worth of weapons with which I'm gonna KILL THIS!😊
It's definitely hard sometimes showing my face!! I appreciate your kind words and am so glad you enjoyed the videos. Wishing you the best on your lettering journey! 🤩Chelle
Kathy Roth Celle, please help with advice about "flourishes", i.e., squiggles and loops above or below the lettering. Mine look assymetric, overdone, or harsh, detracting from the words. Thank you!
Great idea. Let me work on this and put something together for everyone! One thing to do, is to first sketch with pencil and practice drawing out your flourishes. Then, once you get the hang of it, you can wing it. But this is a great starting place. Thank you so much for watching Kathy! 💕💛💕
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for your videos. :) It's so hard for me as a lefty, though, so I have to sort of apply my own personal writing techniques to everyone else's videos, but I think it sort of makes it fun!
Thank you so much Stephanie! I practice everyday, and have been practicing since early 2016. At the beginning, I did probably an hour a day and now I try for at least 15 minutes. 💕💕
Love, love, love your tutorials and story. So many of us have those down times in our lives and whether is hand lettering or art and crafts, (which I'm very new at)is amazing the feeling we get when making something beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent snd may God bless you snd family. Magda =)
Thank you so much for your videos! I am at home recovering from surgery. I am enjoying learning how to hand letter while I recover! Please write my name :)
