- What is faux (fake) calligraphy
Faux calligraphy, or also known as fake calligraphy is a technique of imitating the look of calligraphy by using any kind of writing tool. Hence the name. The effect is created by adding an additional stroke to the downward strokes.
The best part,
Is that you can use any writing tool that you have!
Whether it’s a pencil, marker, fineliner, pen, chalk - you can use it to create faux calligraphy.
Faux calligraphy is also a great technique if you want to emulate the calligraphic look on surfaces where you can’t really use regular calligraphy tools.
1. WRITE A WORD.
It can be a script style or print style. It doesn’t matter right now, just write any word.
2. ADD A LINE TO THE DOWNSTROKES.
If you don’t remember where the downstrokes are, you can follow your word with your pen to see where the pen went down. We only want the downstrokes. Leave any sideways strokes or upstrokes. We want all of our downstrokes to be the same angle.
3. FILL IN THE DOWNSTROKES.
If you don’t want very thick downstrokes, the second and third step may be combined for you. The main goal is to make sure all of your downstrokes are the same thickness to keep it consistent throughout your word.
4: Display your faux calligraphy!
Once you’ve completed your project, show it off! If you created a birthday or anniversary card, accompany the card with a fresh bouquet or a sweet treat. If you created faux calligraphy wall art, frame it with a contrasting frame and display your new art..❣️
