About The Happy Ever Crafter:
Welcome to my channel! I'm Becca and I do & teach modern calligraphy. On this channel, you'll find all my most requested modern calligraphy tutorials, tips & tricks!
You are by far the best modern calligraphy teacher I’ve seen so far!! Thanks for great videos!!
thank you so much!!
Becca's fast writing: "Didn't go well at all"
Me: "Dang, that looks awesome!"
Before I saw this video I was looking forward for calligraphy .❤💖🥰
That's what I thought
Great tips, but a lot of hands made with a chisel-edged pen do not require changing the orientation of your hand - the chisel edge does it for you. Just keep the tip on a 45-degree slant from the guideline and you will get thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes.
I agree with you Carol.
Yes, I’ve done traditional calligraphy for over 30 years, and I agree. Both modern and traditional calligraphy are beautiful, but very different in the approach.
Yeah, sure, I’ve become more aware of times when I’ve made 3 of the 4 common mistakes (thanks to Becca, I have the right tools). Oddly I also notice how practicing creates that muscle memory on the rare occasions when I begin writing my signature in cursive and find myself lifting my pen and subconsciously writing my cursive letters in calligraphy fashion. That cracks me up especially since in the beginning of learning the calligraphy basic strokes and repeatedly heard “muscle memory” used and hardly believed I would ever gain that super hero ability. ~ Rose
Attending my first brush lettering class last week. This echoes her teachings. Same brushes, slower speed, and practice basic strokes. Thanks for sharing here!
Thank you so much! In the past, I have made so many mistakes. After a few of your tutorials, I have improved so much. You are a fantastic teacher. Please continue to teach.
I’ve never really done modern calligraphy, but I learned the italics style of calligraphy. For that style, the chisel tip is appropriate, at least how I was taught. But I know it’s different with modern calligraphy, which I’m getting ready to work on learning.
I have been doing calligraphy for 2 years, but when I started, I didn't knew the basic strokes lol. Now I always say to my students to master the basic strokes.
Absolutely fascinating, I’m loving it, your so very clear in how you put it across. Thank you from the uk 🇬🇧🥰
What I struggle with is the size the of the letters. My normal handwriting is tiny so getting the muscle memory for larger strokes is more of a struggle. Practice makes perfect and I’m totally down with that.
Thanks Becca you are the greatest
I was making an even more basic mistake: I thought modern calligraphy could include broad edge calligraphy using modern methodologies!
Stumbled over your channel and really enjoy it, so helpful. Thanks from New Zealand
Perhaps you want to take this tip: get to know also another types of callygraphy with tools other than brushpens. For example chisel tip is used typically for blackletter, gothic and fraktur calligraphy. Pointed pens for traditional calligraphy. As well as monoline pens for monoline, faux calligraphy or serif scripts. There are several bunch of other tools you can observe too, but you have to focus on one type of calligraphy that suits you best.
Absolutely helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you. You’ve been very helpful.
So guilty of going too fast I get excited or anxious and start speeding up 😂
totally! such a common mistake!
Hello Becca, I am guilty of #3 & #4.... back to the basic I need to go. Thank you for the reminder.
suuuuper common, Janet! You're not alone!
You're the best teacher for Calligraphy 🙏🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so guilty of going to fast! Thank you for this great video!
Just started and I think I'm doing all of them 🤭, but I'll get there...lol. Thanks for reminding us 🥰
All of them, I am guilty of buying some square pens today even though I previously bought the Tombow brand. Thank you, this video helped me to hold my pen the correct way and I can see the difference in the the 'h' as I practice.
I am just learning and I have practice and practice with lots of fustration , but I think I notice my mistake , trying to make small writing with withdual tip pen , they are those I got , so I will just go bigger yay. You are such good teacher , thank you
Thanks Becca for the reminders of how to consistently write the strokes and letters.
I am guilty of correct paper position & getting my left hand to have the correct hand position. Difficult because we lefties have to pull the pen towards us instead of pushing away from our body. Typically (how I normally write cursive) I turn my paper 90 degrees & hold my pen like a right-hander. I write my words from top to bottom. I practice everyday and have developed my own techniques to get the same thin/thick lines as you.🙂
Very helpful. Thank you.
GREAT reminders ❤
I defiantly need to practice light to heavy strokes. Great instructions?
Great tips. Thanks
Thank you so much for the advice you’ve really been so helpful for me because I’m starting out and all your videos have really taught me so much on everything and I really appreciate it so much. ❤️❤️
Omg all of the basic stokes, I know them sort of but not enough xx
Guilty 🙋🏻♀️ I’m so happy I found you here !!!!
Oh.My.Goodness this helped so much thank you Becca!!
Glad i found your channel. Now I have more in depth understanding in doing my calligraphy.
Thank you. I appreciate your work into your channel.
I m doing calligraphy from 3 years but I m doing morden calligraphy from 1 year I think whatever she said is really right I also do this
Awesome teaching skills! Thank you.
When I first wanted to learn calligraphy I saw your videos
I am in 6th std
This really helped me to learn calligraphy
I have watched all the videos
Indian?me also. I am 7th
I am in 8th class
New here :) Don't know if you've ever talked about this or could even have any tips or insight on the matter...But have you heard of any tips for Left-Handed peeps??? As a Lefty, we tend to approach things backwards and the whole, Angling-The-Brush correctly for the up and down strokes is a little tricky. If you've heard from other Lefties on how to do lettering, that would be awesome! Thanks :)
Very helpful.
Ummm, all of them!🤭🥴
... but, I am just starting... SO....practice, practice,practice for me!🧐🤗
Thank you so much
Great tutorial - thank you!!!
I first saw your camilin brush pen
I love that ❤️ thanks
You're techniques are awesome. The only problem for me is I am left-handed. there are more mistakes i usually make.
Great info to avoid frustration as a beginner!
Great teaching. Thanks!
Tip no 1 i got it i have never tried modern calligraphy
This clarifies a lot thanks Becca !
Your messy handwriting is also awesome
Thankyou for such nice video ❤️❤️
Dear Becca, I love you and your calligraphy. Your smile is amazing. 💛💛💟
very helpful
Thxs fr ur fabulous video it helped me a lot luv ur work

Amazing calligraphy techniques
So good! Sometimes I go too fast. I’ll work on this!
Thanks for these tips, really useful as I am probably guilty of all of them but I am fairly new to this. Do you have any tips for us lefties (left handers)?
I have a tutorial all about lefties with the Inky Hand! :D

Love From Bangladesh ❤️❤️
Your video is really so good and awsome
Thank you 😇😇
🙂 Thank you
I realised the mistake easily with differentiation of cursive and calligraphy
Excellent video! Thank you!!
Can you please share a video for left handed modern calligraphy beginners. I am left handed and unable to work well with the tombow brushes
Becca writing slowly and teaching giving examples and I am like "ooooooh satisfying "
0:37 Heyyy!!! I have that one! (But I don’t use it lol)
I love the squeaking noise of the pen on the paper!
Thanks
So very guilty! I will return to the basics ... hanging my head in shame :)
Do you have any tips or videos for somebody who is a left hander
Can u give tips for gothic calligraphy
Awesome
You are amazing
I watched this video to see if there are things I am doing wrong, but no, I followed all your tips. I literally just started 5 days ago, but I practice ours every night. My everyday handwriting is disgusting, thats why I started practicing, but i evolved way too fast, and I am suspiciously good. I even started to develop my own style. Is that something normal?? My fahter is coming ovwr with his old filler fountain pen, is that more difficult than with modern brush pens?
Hi Becca. I'm guilty of having gone out and bought one of those chisel tip pens. It literally says "Calligraphy pen" on the side. Should I return it?
What's the font on your UA-cam banner that says your "BECCA: The Happy Ever Crafter"? I LOVE it!!
Fantastic 💞💞💞💞🌷
How do you use guide lines on paper that's not tracing paper?
I use Rhodia paper which has guide lines on it!
Thanks excelente video! Im guilty ! 😳
you have best talent with so cute eyes...
Hi Becca
My problem with number 2 mistake is that I am left handed and sometimes it is difficult to get the letters as they should be with the same hand placements as right handed people. If anyone knows a left handed teacher, please send me some videos. I learn a lot by watching other people do things.
guilty as charged! I get impatient and go too fast....I'm not the best "practice-r" so I need to be come better at that and give myself time....
Which basic stroke is used in 'e'?
It is a combination of a upward loop and a underturn
So guilty, on doing it too fast. l get nervous while practicing my calligraphy, l dont know why 😂
I love you
All of them I made
Nice

When I will go slow the hand will shake
After this video, I realize I'm not holding my pen at the right angle. I've got the vertical angle right, but not the angle in relation to the page. I'll have to amwatch that from now on.
My problem in calligraphy is that i cant write in a straight line in a blank paper
I don't have enough tools And how can I get them
Make more videos ....
Haha I made the 1st mistake 😂
Definitely guilty of lettering too fast!
So I have definitely been at fault for not using all of the basic strokes.
Super guilty :)
🖐🏻🤷🏼♀️So SOOO guilty!!!
#guilty
Guilty of going too fast as soon as I stop focusing on my work.
