I’m reading the comments here, being like “what?!” Honestly, you don’t need a calligraphy pen to do calligraphy. In my opinion, pencil is easier to use. But it depends on the type of pencil that you like to use. In the video, she shows a standard pencil, which is fine if you like that type and of pencil. But for those who prefer a mechanical pencil, it’s better use that.

@jennycreationstudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Morgan Jackson, HB technically means “Hard and Black”. It is usually used for school. The other pencils, for example 3H and 4B, are used for sketching, shading or drawing. You can use HB for calligraphy. It’s your choice. I hope this short passage will help make things more clear. Warm regards, Jessline

I want you to know that I've been playing at calligraphy for many many years. I've even addressed wedding invites. But this video and the following one has finally pulled everything together for me. I tried the pencil one and could NOT believe the results. I was stunned. Then I used the pens from the next video and thought why haven't I picked this up before. Thank you so very much for this help. I'm overwhelmed with the technique I am now using. This is a "believe it or not." Kudos to you.
