    You handwriting itself looks like a font already. Nice.

    holy crap. The sudden contrast between handwriting and lettering shocked me like hell. Your lettering is really special.

    Oh my goodness! I have like everything you mention pretty much but I am such a scatter brain...I am 52 and I have been a paper and pen lover all my life but until only recently did I open that part of myself in an attempt to get through a very deep depression after being diagnosed with the family killer of 50 year olds in my family heart condition...this video is literally direction for me...it is so clear the one thing I have not given myself is time. I am a visual learner and youtube has been pivotal to this process for me...having to retire as a midwife and having to reset myself as a certified medical assistant in a cancer center...from birth to life and facing ones own at a young age is a good reason to be depressed so I refused medication...and dug sown inside of me...I am so excited for what your video is for me! Thank you so so much for being who you are and sharing it...I am gratefulfor this.

    I stopped your video @3:13 to say THANK YOU....Thank You for saying just how long it took you to begin and become good at creative hand-lettering. I will officially begin my hand lettering journey in a small Michael's journal I got myself years ago and have now realized what it's PERFECT for! PLEASE make more video on your hand lettering....I'd certainly watch them ALL faithfully!

      Funnily enough it appeared in mine and neither had I searched or looked for them, which makes me think that UA-cam monitors our phone's browser activity since I just bought the exact book in the thumbnail, so glad I found her though!

    Great video! I started practicing brush lettering and calligraphy in the beginning of February, so its been almost a month and I am so excited by the craft. Like you said its not a burden to practice everyday, its fun! I am so glad you addressed that hand lettering is very different from your handwriting. Im am trying to tackle brush lettering, watercolor and traditional calligraphy all at once. Videos like yours are super helpful! Thanks =]

    Loved hearing YOUR story, you are very talented. What I did not like about Creative Lettering and Beyond, two things I wanted to do from it was the wc/gouache lettering and the chalkboard lettering. This book had 4 authors, yet none of them thought to specify what brush to use for the wc/gouache, or how to seal the chalkboard art. Argh!

  • @kamikea1
    @kamikea1 7 років тому +1

    Hello thank you for the video. I too have recently taken an interest in learning the art of calligraphy. And just gave up for a while, because I felt I l needed a teacher to physically be there and teach it to me, but something just keeps bring me back to having interest in learning again. This video was exactly what I needed to see and hear. Now I know for a fact I can learn it on my own. I will be purchasing these books tonight!!!!

    This is so inspirational i started to have interest in calligraphy for just a month or week i guess and Im so bad at it I dont have any patience or anything so sometimes I considered just giving up. but just like what you said, I have to want to be better so that I could now I do that and i believe that im gradually getting better than I did before And I want to be like, better than I am today so that pushes me to practice harder. I will surely remember your tips and One day, maybe, If I became a professional at this, I will come back and say, "Yes I did it." so thank you so much for that 💜💜💜💜💜💜
