    Just started getting into moderin calligraphy and I skipped learning the basic part. It's only now I understand why I need to learn them first. You're probably the only one with a detailed explanation as to why we beginners need to learn the basics well. Thanks for this video!

    I've been trying to learn how to hand letter and have watched several tutorials but this one was actually the most helpful to me so far!! I'm really excited because I have practiced drills from many other videos but didn't seem to be improving and I wasn't sure why but after watching this video I was actually able to write a word in calligraphy for the first time!!!! Thanks so much for the video! I now have faith that I CAN ACTUALLY do this. 💗

  • @zlomy5555
    @zlomy5555 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This is the video that I have been needing!! Thank you for the basic stroke breakdown, I used to only try out the different pressures with regular script. It all makes sense now.

  • @gtcertain9910
    @gtcertain9910 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Enjoyed your teaching. Two things I might add are: you are teaching brush lettering calligraphy which is one of many styles of calligraphy and secondly the importance of the shape of the letter “o” as the base shape of all lettering styles. I thought you did an excellent job of teaching. Many creative people have a gift of creativity but not the means to communicate it. I believe you have both. Thank you!

    This video is an AHA moment for me. I am definitely going to sketch each word to highlight the individual components, before practising the final word as I realize I may be slipping into more of a cursive style! Thank you so much!
