Omg. You legit just solved a mystery for me. Light going up, dark going down. My mind was blown.

I really enjoy your videos and have wanted to learn to do this. I’m disabled due to a car wreck 9/2010 caused by a young adult texting on their iPhone. My husband has changed one of spare rooms into a craft room to get me up and doing what I love it’s just so hard when you are in pain 24/7. Please continue to share your amazing talents.

The tip about not moving your wrist is genius! I never thought about that being the reason my lines aren't straight 😂

You just told me how to make straight lines😊😊😊😉 thank you

Loved the video. Liked using a less expensive product and get beautiful results! Jill

Me: *sees title* Also Me: I can’t even do it correctly with my brush pens! *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Thank you for sharing your techniques especially with Crayola markers since they are so available.

I love it.!!! for somebody who is inexperienced, me, inexpensive is encouraging to to practice with

This is easily one of the best, most easy to follow lettering tutorials I have watched so far. Thank you!

Your lettering is beautiful. I wish it was as effortless as you make it seem!

I only recently became interested in learning this writing. Isn't it funny how this coincides with schools not teaching cursive anymore...I hope that isn't true! Your methods are easy to follow and practice is a must.

Thank you for sharing this. I have had trouble getting the pressure portion down on these markers. I still have a good bit of work done but I am now making progress. Thanks!

Love your videos!!! Jennifer the lefty is trying this. Not easy but your encouragement helps!

Recently obsessed with calligraphy and this helped out thank you 😊

TINA 🤗 it all makes sense now I've bought all these books on calligraphy and I never stick with it because the material is like information overload. But this instruction was amazing.

Hi, I'm Jayne and I got this party as soon as I could. I've managed to acquire/collect pens of all walks of life but never in my wildest dreams thought to use Crayola markers. Guess I'm stopping at the nearest store to pick up a pack and start playing/practicing a new lettering option! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

Love your techniques!...wish I could see more of you actually writing, your thumb gets in the way a bit because of how you hold your marker with your thumb, a little unorthodox. Great job using the markers!

Ann Marie - your style is beautiful and your teaching makes it so much easier to understand!

Came across your channel here in 2021. I would like my name to be added in the jar. My name is violette and I love your content. Journaling is making a comeback. It getting more popular than ever.

I love this tutorial! I am a bullet journal "beginner" and my bullet journal doesn't look that good...This really helps! Thanks!

This is so very pretty. I've never seen this done before.

Thank you so much for sharing! I found you by mistake & I'm so excited I did! Can't wait to see more videos.

this video helped me 4 years ago build my foundation for chicano style lettering

This kind of helped me improve my writing! This was a good tutorial

Don't know how I found myself here on Christmas night, 2019. Great video, very interesting.

Thanks so much. I had this pens for so long and never thought about it. The letters are better than using brush pens 😮

How fascinating, I love your work.

Always loved lettering and am just now getting back into it.. Was able to borrow my granddaughters crayola markers to try this out and loved it.. Keep up the great work and videos. you have an amazing talent.. Thanks for sharing!

I love, I have been wanting to learn just so I can write hand written letters to loved ones. This gives me something that is affordable and obtainable and give me encouragement to learn . My name is Abigail I would live to be added to the jar!!

Love this video, I am a calligrahper! But didn't know which makers worked best!. This will help me learn different ways to have fun with pens and markers!!!

I've just bought a set of crayola super tips and found so difficult to use them. I search on google and see your video. So usefull!!!! I've written by them without so much time practising. Thank you so much!

I just started lettering and watching different techniques, thanks. Kathyleen

Thanks for this! Interested in lettering but not wanting to invest in brush pens... for the name jar: Stina

I love the crayons marker project, I'm going to practice with them. practice practice practice!! Carissa

super helpful and in depth, thank you!

I prefer using this better than the brush pens. Brush pens are really hard to control.

I love this tutorial. I'm glad to see someone do this with crayola markers. I do see that it's easy. Can you do it in my name, LaCourdia. Thank you

Thanks...this makes doing calligraphy easier & fun for people who want to ‘write pretty” but don’t want to do formal calligraphy. Crayola also publishes a beginner calligraphy how-to coloring style book that they were selling at Dollar Tree along wit a 6-pack of markers. This was back in the fall...not sure if they’re still available. It has blank lined pages for practicing and gives simple instructions. I gave this and some markers to my 10 year old niece and she got into it right away.

I loved your beautiful work-also now realize the importance of moving your whole arm and not just your wrist to get a straight line.🤗

It’s amazing how cheap these markers are but still look beautiful on the paper with the right techniques. Name is madeline also :v

I have started to try calligraphy I got the Crayola calligraphy book at the Dollar Tree. It has made my lettering much nicer but I have not figured out the pressure yet. I would love to see my name. Christelle

Excellent and simple directions to follow! THANK YOU!

wow! you have so much talent! I think you are very good at explaining your art and I feel you make a great teacher. I am so inspired right now. I have attempted calligraphy in the past" spent so much money on special pens, nibs, ink cartridges, ink refills, special paper, time to clean the pens and nibs, oh my goodness the list goes on and on... lets just say I feel like I wasted a lot of money and time on doing something that I did become good at with a lot of practice and as long as I cared for my tools properly otherwise my pens took forever to get back in working condition or were plain unfixable and were trash. finally, my last gripe; if I just wanted to quickly write down a name or thank you note or whatever I couldn't...it was again a super long process. but after watching this, you've shown me an alternative that is so much more realistically do-able. I mean pretty much everyone has crayola pens or like pens somewhere in their house whether you have kids or not.and if you don't, you can get them everywhere for cheap and not have to take a trip to a specialty or craft store and spend an arm and a leg for a writing tool. seriously, Im super excited. I just need to learn your style of writing. its absolutely beautiful. I have always written in old English and a version of old English that I made up, but never went any further into other styles of lettering. your lettering is so fancy and you make it look so simple. like I said, you have a lot of talent. in going to check out your playlists now and see what else I can learn from you. thank you! oh ya, if you are still writing out names...mine is Danyiel. 😄

You're such a great teacher can't wait to try this! ✍🏾🖍📝

WOW this is amazing , just love it ....wow so good . I d love to see how you can write my name Barbara

great job now I can do it for any sort

It's nice to see someone demonstrating this .

You have gorgeous writing and strong hands. Spoil yourself with a manicure. You have so much skill in those hands. Pamper them 😉

If you could find the time, would you use my family's names in a tutorial my husband Brandan, me Liana and our two daughters Ryelie (5), and Jaxsyn (2). I did find this tutorial to be more help than most i have seen today I'm currently trying to make poster for an event at work so thank you so much for you help and insight!

Thank you for this! Im starting college and want to have my notes super organized and keep them creative with calligraphy

I am so happy you made this video I absolutely love crayola!! Also Kattie would be a fun one to add to the jar😊

*”That beautiful THICC line”*

I’m new to bullet journaling. This was a very helpful video! I’d love to have my name added to the jar. 😁

I have daughter with the name Brynn, it's so unique and I think she'd love to hear you add it to her jar. Or even maybe get her name hand lettered, I know she loves watching you and really is putting in an effort to learn. Thanks!

Out of all the videos I have wanted this is the only one that has worked for me!

I use super tips and I agree, the way you hold your crayola marker is easiest for me. It helps me get both thick downtsrokes and super thin upstrokes. Great video by the way. Your r's are gorgeous. My r's are really simple--mostly because I'm still not very good at them. Do you think you could show us the alphabet with Crayola?

Oh my gosh! This was such a beautiful video! It definitely inspires me to actually go out and buy those crayola markers and try it for myself! (: Also, really love the ombre effect with the green and dark greens! Looked really intriguing and pretty.

camila, and thx for the tutorial i have been really into crayolligraphy lately but didn't know where to start

I have been practicing calligraphy for...wow...a very, VERY long time! From the extremely ornate and complicated kind to what is referred to more as lettering (what you've done here)...love this video. I've never blended using water...very cool. Ty

this takes skill!

Nice video!! I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m glad I did! Bc I luv to letter or draw. Excited to check out your other videos thanks!! And can u add jennifer and lily 🌹

Thanks 4 sharing your tips and tricks💖Very easy to follow along with.🙏

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to buy some new markers and give this a try!

Her: *does the whole name in one color* Her again: now let's add the next color and mix them with water Me:*pours a whole cup of water* Me Again: I think it needs more water. Lol😂😂😂😂😂

When you don't have any cone shaped markers--👀

Hi! I'm Emily. Just started watching calligraphy videos, and came upon yours. I really enjoyed it--thanks! I did some calligraphy in middle school, and am interested in re-visiting it. Thanks again!

I'm so happy I found your videos!!

This helped me so much! My name is Shreya!

It was really very nice. I liked the word "CRAYOLA" the most, can you please tell me how did you design the word "crayola" and what is that actually called? Thank you from India😊❤

This was awesome! Doreen

FINALLY! There is ONE person on the internet that believes you don't need expensive things to make stuff look good!!!!!!!!

I feel like it would be tough for left handed people. I don't want my hand brushing over the wet markets or paint so I would have to hold it at a higher angle... And not getting good thick strokes. Or am I over thinking it?

I wish I had these skills haha

Such pretty writing wow. That is some real talent right there. Loved the video! Kayla

Your videos make sense! I like the way you describe your steps and talk through what you are doing and why! Thank you!

I really have no experience in calligraphy! But i wanted to learn! I think this video really means for a starter like me!

Please do my name Brenda. You do such a fabulous job. Just found you. Can't wait to see all your awesome work. I want to learn calligraphy so bad. My Dad used to be amazing at it. He did all his Christmas cards using it on the envelopes. Would sit and watch him do it for hour's. He sent out over 100 cards every year too. Brave man. 😃. I didn't get his talent not sure I could ever learn how to do it. But sure would love if I could. 😔

Will you add Stacy to the jar? 💜 loved the video so cool

Leonard. Beautiful technique!
