    My favorite beginner brush 0en is tombow fudenosuke. For someone who is a beginner I would like to say that I just practiced faux calligraphy for the first 2 years. But just before an year I got tombow fudenosuke and I struggled for 2 months. So then am doing with tombow dual brush pens. It takes a lot of practice. Take ur time. This art is wonderful and u gotta give it some time

    • @EnsignInsights

    Hello-I just discovered the art of hand lettering during a card making video I was watching. Your channel popped up when I searched for hand lettering videos & I'm so glad. You make it sound simple & easy (with practice). I had a sharpie so practiced along as you were explaining everything & mine didn't turn out too bad...lol....So, I just subscribed to your channel, purchased your book & a pack of the Pentel pens. Amazon prime-they'll be here tonight...Can't wait for them to arrive.

      Ooh interesting question! They don't seem similar at all to me. Monami are so tiny and so firm. Le Pen Flex are firm but more flexible. I personally love both and I'm happy to have both. I don't know if that helps at all!

    I scared cause im not sure how to combine/connect them. And they looks awkward...i start practising with some words like the name of the months and tracing them on a paper...it looks good when tracing but when i wrote it by myself...its not that good. this is so frustrating.

I think it's letteringchallengehq (hq for headquarters). I think that's it! It's a great account because then you can search through the monthly challenges to find one that excites you. There are ones for tv shows and movies and all kinds of things so it's a great way to find people who are interested in the same things as you! :)

      Yes, they are on the more expensive side for brush pens! Because they are such good quality, they are worth the investment in my opinion. I use them as watercolor too so they have multiple purposes for me which saves me money in the long run.
