I really enjoy your videos and have wanted to learn to do this. I’m disabled due to a car wreck 9/2010 caused by a young adult texting on their iPhone. My husband has changed one of spare rooms into a craft room to get me up and doing what I love it’s just so hard when you are in pain 24/7.
Please continue to share your amazing talents.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support! I am so sorry to hear about your accident, and sending you lots of healing energy. It’s awesome your hubby set up a craft room, and I am planning on do a bunch more crafts coming up! Big hugs!!💕
I hope you get better
Love YU mam , keep going
Blueyes05 I’m so sorry🤧🤧All prayers go out to you
I pray for you 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤
The tip about not moving your wrist is genius! I never thought about that being the reason my lines aren't straight 😂
Me: *sees title*
Also Me: I can’t even do it correctly with my brush pens!
*REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
ME: remembers how long it took to get the hang of the crayolas, and then one day, like magic ✨, it totally clicked! Don't give up!! 💜
@@LemonadeStore well that was inspiring
Lol I have calligraphy markers too so there’s literally no excuse for me
Because what is really is, If you have the talent. Whatever pen you hold you can do that. It's about the hand that it's controlling.. not the pen that you holding. But don't give up, try and try. Because a miracle is just always here. 💓💓 Love lots and stay safe stranger. 😌💜 I hope you'll develope well. ✨❤️✌🏻🤞🏻
You just told me how to make straight lines😊😊😊😉 thank you
Loved the video. Liked using a less expensive product and get beautiful results!
Jill
Yes!! Exactly! I love the look and versatility too. Thanks Jill! I added your name 💙
Exactly so true 👍
I have been practicing calligraphy for...wow...a very, VERY long time! From the extremely ornate and complicated kind to what is referred to more as lettering (what you've done here)...love this video. I've never blended using water...very cool. Ty
I've just bought a set of crayola super tips and found so difficult to use them. I search on google and see your video. So usefull!!!! I've written by them without so much time practising. Thank you so much!
This is easily one of the best, most easy to follow lettering tutorials I have watched so far. Thank you!
yay!! so glad it helped! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 💕
Recently obsessed with calligraphy and this helped out thank you 😊
I love it.!!! for somebody who is inexperienced, me, inexpensive is encouraging to to practice with
Right? That's my whole thing. Just first try things out, and then go buy all the things...lol! Thanks Barbara for watching and for the support!
Thank you for sharing this. I have had trouble getting the pressure portion down on these markers. I still have a good bit of work done but I am now making progress. Thanks!
It just takes time and practice. For me, it was like, one day I woke up and the pressure worked!! Building that muscle will help with practice. Thank you so much for watching Carissa!💛
Love your videos!!! Jennifer the lefty is trying this. Not easy but your encouragement helps!
Thank you so much! wish i had more info on lefties...xoxo
Love it! I have some super tips and will be practicing with them. It's on my bucket list to really learn calligraphy, you're a great teacher, thank you!
Thanks so much. I had this pens for so long and never thought about it. The letters are better than using brush pens 😮
Love your techniques!...wish I could see more of you actually writing, your thumb gets in the way a bit because of how you hold your marker with your thumb, a little unorthodox. Great job using the markers!
Hi, I'm Jayne and I got this party as soon as I could. I've managed to acquire/collect pens of all walks of life but never in my wildest dreams thought to use Crayola markers. Guess I'm stopping at the nearest store to pick up a pack and start playing/practicing a new lettering option! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
JAYNE!! So glad you made it to the partay 😂! Seriously, they are one of my faves to use because they are so versatile. Thanks for watching!💕
Thank you so much for sharing! I found you by mistake & I'm so excited I did! Can't wait to see more videos.
I just stumble across this video and decided to watch cause I always wanted to learn calligraphy. It's so cool and you make it look so easy. I wanna learn. Really well done.
Thank you so much Viviana for taking the time to watch and comment!💚
Thank you for sharing your techniques especially with Crayola markers since they are so available.
You are so welcome! Thanks for your support on my channel!
I love this tutorial! I am a bullet journal "beginner" and my bullet journal doesn't look that good...This really helps! Thanks!
Awesome! You can use your journal to track your practice 😄! Set aside at least 15 min a day to play with markers!
Love this video, I am a calligrahper! But didn't know which makers worked best!. This will help me learn different ways to have fun with pens and markers!!!
that is awesome! love hearing this! thank you so much Linda for watching 💙
TINA 🤗 it all makes sense now I've bought all these books on calligraphy and I never stick with it because the material is like information overload. But this instruction was amazing.
I've been down that road too...Totally get how confusing it all can be! Glad it helped and thanks for watching and for the comments!💕
This is so very pretty. I've never seen this done before.
Thank you!!
Don't know how I found myself here on Christmas night, 2019. Great video, very interesting.
Your videos make sense! I like the way you describe your steps and talk through what you are doing and why! Thank you!
I am so glad! I try and break it down where it makes sense to me, but sometimes I think my brain works a little differently. Hope you are well!
Your lettering is beautiful. I wish it was as effortless as you make it seem!
its really just practice! trust me, you can do this! thank you so much 💕
This kind of helped me improve my writing! This was a good tutorial
I just started lettering and watching different techniques, thanks. Kathyleen
I'm so happy I found your videos!!
Ann Marie - your style is beautiful and your teaching makes it so much easier to understand!
Thank you so so much! 💟💟💟
Oh my gosh! This was such a beautiful video! It definitely inspires me to actually go out and buy those crayola markers and try it for myself! (:
Also, really love the ombre effect with the green and dark greens! Looked really intriguing and pretty.
Thank you!!! It is lots of fun and just remember to practice a little everyday if you can!
Always loved lettering and am just now getting back into it.. Was able to borrow my granddaughters crayola markers to try this out and loved it.. Keep up the great work and videos. you have an amazing talent.. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Denise! I really appreciate the support and so glad to hear you playing with markers again!! yay!
Always loved your videos. I’ll need to try Skillshare in the future!

I loved your beautiful work-also now realize the importance of moving your whole arm and not just your wrist to get a straight line.🤗
it was a game changer for me too!
Thanks 4 sharing your tips and tricks💖Very easy to follow along with.🙏
Great Video...
Great information...
Thank you for sharing this..
Beautiful...

awesome! So glad you found me and I appreciate the support!! I added Jennifer and Lily to the jar!💛
I’m looking to get into calligraphy and stumbled across this, it was super helpful, thank you!!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Thanks...this makes doing calligraphy easier & fun for people who want to ‘write pretty” but don’t want to do formal calligraphy. Crayola also publishes a beginner calligraphy how-to coloring style book that they were selling at Dollar Tree along wit a 6-pack of markers. This was back in the fall...not sure if they’re still available. It has blank lined pages for practicing and gives simple instructions. I gave this and some markers to my 10 year old niece and she got into it right away.
how cool! I haven't seen them at my dollar tree, but I will look again! Glad she is having fun! Thanks Nancy 😁
I love this tutorial. I'm glad to see someone do this with crayola markers. I do see that it's easy. Can you do it in my name, LaCourdia. Thank you
Thank you so much LaCourdia! I will add your name to the jar 💕
This is a very cool video and your calligraphy words are also very nice!
LaCourdia
is an amazing name
ooh, lacourdia is such a pretty name!
I have started to try calligraphy I got the Crayola calligraphy book at the Dollar Tree. It has made my lettering much nicer but I have not figured out the pressure yet. I would love to see my name. Christelle
It just takes time. Your muscles literally need to adjust to it I think. Thank you so much for watching Christelle! I added your name to the jar💙
U have given me some ideas. Thank You so much for the information.
Awesome video! Thank you!
First video I’ve watched and I love it. I’m really trying to learn how to hand letter and I’m getting crayons super tips for Christmas because I heard there awesome for it thanks so much for making these videos to help people out
awesome! the super tips are smaller, so just keep in mind the difference between your downstrokes and upstrokes won't be as big. Still can achieve the effect though! 💙
I prefer using this better than the brush pens. Brush pens are really hard to control.
I use super tips and I agree, the way you hold your crayola marker is easiest for me. It helps me get both thick downtsrokes and super thin upstrokes. Great video by the way.
Your r's are gorgeous. My r's are really simple--mostly because I'm still not very good at them. Do you think you could show us the alphabet with Crayola?
Hi Lyla! Seriously, thank you for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot! I can maybe do a video of the alphabet! I will add that to my wish list of videos!
@@LemonadeStore No problem. It's really nice that you reply to comments. Us commenters usually have a lot of questions. XD
Keep up the great work!
Thank you! This helped so much!! ❤️❤️
Out of all the videos I have wanted this is the only one that has worked for me!
yay! Thank you so much for letting me know it helped! I appreciate the support! 💕
@@LemonadeStore ilysm❤️
WOW this is amazing , just love it ....wow so good . I d love to see how you can write my name Barbara
Thank you soooo much Barbara! I really appreciate the support on my channel and for taking the time to comment! I added your name!
If you could find the time, would you use my family's names in a tutorial my husband Brandan, me Liana and our two daughters Ryelie (5), and Jaxsyn (2).
I did find this tutorial to be more help than most i have seen today I'm currently trying to make poster for an event at work so thank you so much for you help and insight!
You are welcome, and thank you for the support on my channel! I added all the names to the box!
I only recently became interested in learning this writing. Isn't it funny how this coincides with schools not teaching cursive anymore...I hope that isn't true! Your methods are easy to follow and practice is a must.
Excellent and simple directions to follow! THANK YOU!
You're very welcome!
Nice tips!
this takes skill!
It's nice to see someone demonstrating this .
Thank you so much Peter! I really appreciate the support and you taking the time to comment!
OMG! EVEN AFTER WATCHING YOU, I FEEL LIKE:
HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT!?
YOU ARE SO TALENTED!, I mean it :) You are amazing!
It’s amazing how cheap these markers are but still look beautiful on the paper with the right techniques. Name is madeline also :v
I know, right? That's why I love using them. You can really do lots of different things. But don't get me wrong, I love all different types! i have a pen problem 😂. Thank you so much for watching!
I feel like it would be tough for left handed people. I don't want my hand brushing over the wet markets or paint so I would have to hold it at a higher angle... And not getting good thick strokes. Or am I over thinking it?
you definitely need to turn your paper more drastically, and really stop and slow down in between strokes. The concepts are probably similar, but since I am not a lefty, I can't give more advise...so sorry!! give it a go and let me know how it goes!💕
I am so happy you made this video I absolutely love crayola!! Also Kattie would be a fun one to add to the jar😊
Thank you Kattie!! I love them too! I will add your name 🤩🤩🤩
You are awesome! First time viewer and learner, as well as a new subscriber. Love your teaching method & appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Aloha 🌺 Jeanine

Hi Karine! I added your name!
This helped me so much! My name is Shreya!
Hi Shreya! I am so glad it helped! I added your name to the jar!
Came across your channel here in 2021. I would like my name to be added in the jar. My name is violette and I love your content. Journaling is making a comeback. It getting more popular than ever.
YeS it's amazing!
Hi! I'm Emily. Just started watching calligraphy videos, and came upon yours. I really enjoyed it--thanks! I did some calligraphy in middle school, and am interested in re-visiting it. Thanks again!
super cool Emily! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the support! Its a fun hobby for sure and so glad my videos have inspired in some way 💕
Please do my name Brenda. You do such a fabulous job. Just found you. Can't wait to see all your awesome work. I want to learn calligraphy so bad. My Dad used to be amazing at it. He did all his Christmas cards using it on the envelopes. Would sit and watch him do it for hour's. He sent out over 100 cards every year too. Brave man. 😃. I didn't get his talent not sure I could ever learn how to do it. But sure would love if I could. 😔
That is such a wonderful memory! I hope I can help encourage you to just start practicing! It’s amazing how you can learn and improve if you letter a little every day! Thanks for your support and for watching. I’ll add your name to the bowl! 💕💕
I wish I had these skills haha
Thank you Tina! Just practice! It didn't start out this way for me, but I practice everyday. Thank you for the support and for watching 💛
Great tips! Thanks so much!
I always wanted to learn calligraphy, starting from today I will watch more of your videos to learn how and will start practicing, the most important I believe:)))
awesome! practice does make progress and just remember to have fun!
Will you add Stacy to the jar? 💜 loved the video so cool
absolutely! Thank you so much Stacy for watching and commenting. I appreciate the 💛!
*”That beautiful THICC line”*
I really have no experience in calligraphy! But i wanted to learn! I think this video really means for a starter like me!
I am so so glad it can help in any way! Thank you so much for watching!🖤
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Now I can share pens with my kids :)
Have fun!💚💙💚
I would love to see you letter my name: Amythyst... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Amythsyt! I added your beautiful name to the jar 💜
Hello I’m Elena, and I LOVE calligraphy, I’ve been doing it for about 3 years. I would love it if u could add my name 😊keep up the good work!
Aww I love your name!!
@@nehajoshi9431 ikr I love the name tooo
Thanks for your tip Chelle! Appreciated!
So glad it helped! thank yo so much for watching! 💜
New to trying this- thank you!
Jenna
Flin. Also, I love my name but hate writing the letter F. It’s been like this my entire life. Any help with making the letter pretty & functional? And maybe any signature advice. Like how to incorporate a pretty letter F into my signature? Thank you!
Love your name too and F's can be tricky. I usually write my uppercase F's more like a number seven. I think I took a version of cursive I learned from grade school but then made it my own. It might help to google fonts and then play around with different styles. Pinterest has tons too!! Thanks for watching and I will add your name Flin!
@@LemonadeStore great tips! Thank you so much! Also, can't wait to see my name in a video! That will be soooo cooool!
When you don't have any cone shaped markers--👀
A really great video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow this really helped me learn about the crayola letteringof calligraphy....love this channel...i am your biggest fan....😀
I always love these and try it but when I try to do the fancy curvy lines, it always turns how horrible and looks like I try to hard.
It just takes lots of practice!
It was really very nice. I liked the word "CRAYOLA" the most, can you please tell me how did you design the word "crayola" and what is that actually called?
Thank you from India😊❤
donzai anurag "crayola" is the name of the company that fabricates those markers
Donnie I think the question is for the name of the design tequnique used for writing crayola...
Donnie thank you so much for replying.
But my question was what is that technique in which she designed the word "Crayola"?
How did she give upper and lower curves to her letters?😇❤
sistabird Correct!!
Plz tell me if you know it😇❤😊
donzai anurag omg sorry, i apologize. I sound dumb now
I have daughter with the name Brynn, it's so unique and I think she'd love to hear you add it to her jar. Or even maybe get her name hand lettered, I know she loves watching you and really is putting in an effort to learn. Thanks!
That is so awesome to hear! I added her name to the jar and thank you both so much for watching & commenting!💕
Oldie but goodie...this is beautiful!
Her: *does the whole name in one color*
Her again: now let's add the next color and mix them with water
Me:*pours a whole cup of water*
Me Again: I think it needs more water. Lol😂😂😂😂😂
Natalie is my name. Please add a o the jar!! Also maybe have a guest do it left handed for people ( like me) that way I don’t have to do it opposite
hmmm, that an interesting idea! I actually do know some lefties too. Share your instagram if you have one! thanks for watching Natalie and I added your name to the jar.
The Lemonade Store thank you for adding me to the jar!!! I’m a new subscriber!! My instagram is @fantastic_natalie14 and my 2nd account is going to be for more creative things like calligraphy is @random_slime_14 And could you maybe have them do a video on your channel or something so lefties could get the idea of how to do it easier??
Yes please! I’m a leftie too and there’s not a lot out there for us ... I think the process is a bit different... thanks!
Love this thank you!!😘
Love your style and loved your course on Skillshare!!!
