Another idea: practice the basic strokes and letter formation with a regular (not brush) pen! Part of great lettering is muscle memory, this can be done anywhere with any pen. I really saw progress when I began practicing making consistent ovals and upstrokes at the end of each letter
Yes!! Thanks for sharing! This is such a great point! It can definitely help to get your hands used to the motion before introducing a brush pen to get the hang of. Thanks for being here!
I practice everyday! When I first started my lettering looked like chicken scratch. It’s improved considerably. I belong to a daily lettering challenge group. Thanks for the video!
Yes! Being part of a group is so helpful in being motivated to practice! Thanks for sharing that you were able to see your progress from daily practice! And thanks for being here!
@@Ana-xp9hs no offense but you make it sound snarky. Like that English teacher I had who used to give me bad grades for writing with my left until I complained about it to the school board. And they switched classes on me.
@@mayrahernandezgarcia1677 I've tried that but you see Im very particular when it comes to paper. I hate smudges, rips or tears it makes me want to start over on something. And when I would tilt it my papers would get messed up and that would make me upset/stressed. Frankly I have no idea why I obessed on it but it makes my art/skteching stressful sometimes. In a way ig I'm a perfectionist ?
Yes!!! This video is everything!!! When I first started lettering I made it a priority to learn and that’s how I was able to do it! I’m sharing this video!! Lately I haven’t been as active on lettering but I started making RU-vid videos so that’s taking priority at the moment, but I still practice when I can!!
I think I do all of these! I keep pens and a small notebook with me for practice on the go, do fauxligraphy with pencil on the go as well for letter form practice, keep supplies by the couch with worksheets, and have my favorite pens at the ready! Having a clipboard ready with paper, a ruler, eraser, and pencil inspires me to start or continue with whatever project I’m working on.
Good video and good ideas, especially the last one "to plan your practice". I need to work on that, Planning challenges for myself or using someone else's challenges is something that I think I will find helpful. Thank you for your ideas.
I'm so glad you found this helpful! Challenges are a great way to stick with daily practice. And it's also a great way to find a community of likeminded people on Instagram! :)
Hi. Random question. I am not a beginner nor pro in calligraphy. I am planning to buy a brushpen. I just wanted to ask which is better, Koi brushpen or Karin brushpen? Also does karin brushpen fray easily when you write on water color paper?
I have bought some brush pens but they donot work good..at first their nib was working great but now it's not and the nib is not perfect either because of which I can't do lettering so what should I do?and why has it happened?Am I pushing it too hard or..?😕😕
ive always had enough money for a lot of tombow brushes because I've saved up enough every year, but my mom has a rule where i can't get pens over 5 dollars each :( so I've gotten the cheap brush pens, the ones where they fray easily
I would suggest Faux Calligraphy! You can do it with any fineliner pen. I have a faux calligraphy basics tutorial video you can find here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZvsDh8-CJB0.html
