Calligraphy Alphabet For Beginners - a to z With Brush Pen (Tutorial)

Жыл бұрын

In this video, I will show you how to write the entire lowercase alphabet in calligraphy using a brush pen. Creating a calligraphy alphabet may seem daunting at first, but the technique I demonstrate in this video makes the whole process so much easier. I created this calligraphy alphabet using a brush pen, but you can also work with a dip pen with a pointed nib or even a pencil. This tutorial is suited for calligraphy beginners but also for those looking for tips on how to improve or sharpen up their fundamentals.
I also wrote an article if you prefer to read it - www.lettering-daily.com/brush...

What's the letter you struggle the most with?

@AntonineKoval Жыл бұрын

s, k and b - why does b never look right to me?

@letteringdaily Жыл бұрын

@@AntonineKoval Shoot me a photo of your b's either via email or via Instagram DM's and I'll have a look :)

S is my biggest enemy! Would you also do an uppercase version of this video? It was super helpful!

Forgive me, I should have answered your question. Right now ovals. Getting the girth, the slant, the finish and the thin and thick right is a challenge. They all end up looking like eggs.

I absolutely love your videos! Even though you talk just a liiiiiitle fast, I'll get used to it lol. I have to say the "r's" are the hardest, well, were the hardest for me since you've shown such a better way to do them than I what I was. That being said it makes the "s's" easier as well. Keep up the greatness in art that you do! Thank you!

@letteringdaily Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to talk a bit slower in the next videos :D Both r and s are tricky letters that require different motions than most letters. Just to be clear, this isn't the only way to make those letters. It's just a basic form you can use to practice and lay down the fundamentals. I can think of 10 different ways you could write those letters, but it would have been (maybe) a bit too confusing to jam everything in one video. Maybe i can create a video walkthrough when creating a custom alphabet. Would that be something interesting to watch? :D

As someone who has fallen down the rabbit hole of TY calig videos I am so glad to have found you. I have been at this for a few months but seeing very little results. Your video goes by rather quickly but I feel I can learn from you. My biggest struggle has been actually getting the broad and narrow in one letter. I use a Tombo F, 4B pencil and write small, as in correspondence. My transitions from thin to thick are terrible. I've actually broken lead when pressing hard but getting nothing fat. Same with my brush pen. What am I doing wrong?? I use quality paper.

I'm a beginner. I bought a Pilot parallel pen, 3.8 mm nib, and have been practicing with that. Much easier to start with
