Have you ever tried doing calligraphy using just a pencil? If so, what's your favorite pencil for calligraphy? Drop a comment below!👇😎✍
I've always started my calligraphy with pencil... And it's just so very interesting and easy... I would say... I don't really know about specific calligraphy pencils .. but yes.. i do it with just normal 2 b pencil... It still gives me a satisfying effect as a result😃🔥🔥❤️
@@kamnak3077 I don't think there are specific calligraphy pencils out there. Perhaps some with a flat tip that could be used for broad-edged calligraphy styles. The cool thing is that you can use pretty much any type of pencil to do pointed nib calligraphy styles :)
@@letteringdailyYes... It's true ... 😁😁💥Even I believe the same ... Anything is fine.. it just depends on your skills....your Love towards your work ....and your dedication ❤️❤️❤️💥🔥Love your work...and the results come out great❤️😇😉
I cant getting welcoming email why??
We ow you voice is outrageous. You need to be on tv or radio with that voice God gave you.
This video is SO good!!! Made me so fascinated to learn calligraphy and didn’t realize I could use a pencil. I am learning modern calligraphy and love it, even the drills. Now I want to download your sheets right away and get practicing. Thanks for all your free resources and making such a comprehensive video!!! :))
I'm so glad! Thank you, Kira for the kind comment. I just published a new video on how to create the whole brush calligraphy alphabet. If you're still trying to learn modern calligraphy i think that will be interesting for you as well :)
I genuinely appreciated this tutorial. The pencil was an easier way to learn than with a brush pen or markers.
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
I am so happy to have found your channel! Thank you for all this wonderful content!
Thank you so much :)
Excellent episode -I'd love to get more training in this
Thank you so much for the feedback :)
Amazing thanks very much
You're welcome ! :)
Brilliant video. Thank you for this. And yes, I'd love to learn how to do italic calligraphy using 2 pencils. I'd love to see a video on it please.
I will definitely do one about that :)
3:25 I am in love with this.... Can you please make a separate video on this.... It's just amazing.... Your content is always interesting Max!! Hope you are doing well!
You mean a video for minuscules and capitals using a pencil? Thank you for the kind words! :)
@@letteringdailyYes!!!... It's truly beautiful and i love it .. !!!
Yes. Whatever lettering was done at 3:26 was beautiful. It looks like it was a font. And it looks like it was about varying pressure.
Superb video.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks·Where can I download free worksheets please.
Very nice sir ❤❤
I am your new subscriber 😊😊
Cheers! Welcome :)
THANKS SIR
Love FROM INDIAN 🇮🇳
Cheers bro!
Could you do a video on how to use two pencils for calligraphy(broad edge)??
YES! It's coming :)
Thanks a lot! I started with brush lettering but wanted to try the „minimalistic lead pencil lettering“. Your video is very helpful!
Sadly I struggle with getting thin lines. I use a FC jumbo in 2B and the upstrokes are not thinner, they are just lighter (with less pressure) than the downstrokes.
Do you turn your pencil in between a letter so the lines vary from thick dark to thin light (I‘m sorry if you mentioned it somewhere else before)?
No, i dont turn it. It's mostly based on pressure. I dont get super thin lines either, but i make it up by making the downstrokes thicker.
@@letteringdaily thank you for your answer
Please make a video on how to make guidelines... I specially need it for Copperplate and italics.. both are more of familiar... But with so many differences after all .. Please help me out Max!!!
I’m pretty sure he already did a video on guidelines but I’m not positive so look it up!
Here it is :) - th-cam.com/video/mmaJWx6hVHY/w-d-xo.html
@@abigailrobinson Yup! Thanks Abigail :)
That does not look like letters are on 55° slant?
It doesn't look because it's not :) Copperplate is usually written at 55. This is a modern alternation that has it's basis in the Copperplate script.
Thanks for the video. Does using pencils cause a lot of smudging?
That's a great question actually. I should have addressed that in the video. Yes, they do. Especially the ones with a softer lead such as a 2B pencil. However, this shouldn't be a problem if you use a paper sheet under your writing arm. It will prevent the sweat and oils from your palm to smudge the pencil marks.
Thank you. Good tip.
Hey I want too PDF work sheets
Me too thanks
Is it money to subscribe for lettering crate?
nope! All free :)
Do you know how to write A Hard Calligraphy ?
hmm not really sure what that is. Can you share a reference or something?
@@letteringdaily yes , there are more Pearsons write the hard calligraphy , of curse the calligraphers in you tube .
Do you mean more difficult calligraphy when you say hard calligraphy? ie: copperplate or flourishing?
A very good explanation. Thank you so much.
But: for me as non native English speaker you speak sometimes too fast ;) But in a video I can stop and repeat :)
Thank you for the feedback. I will most definitely try to speak slower in the next video :)
cefkqrsz are the ones I usually tell people are the odd ones out
Im not really sure i understand what you're trying to say :D
@@letteringdaily most letters can be done with the basic forms of calligraphy " cefkqrsz" are the ones that need a specific stroke to complete its form :) at least for the miniscule alphabet :)
@@MissMarilynDarling Ohh yes now I understand. Yeah, you're right, but the difference is so small for some of them so i made the exception only those which are totally different. But thank you for pointing that out! :)
