    Enjoyed your teaching. Two things I might add are: you are teaching brush lettering calligraphy which is one of many styles of calligraphy and secondly the importance of the shape of the letter “o” as the base shape of all lettering styles. I thought you did an excellent job of teaching. Many creative people have a gift of creativity but not the means to communicate it. I believe you have both. Thank you!

    Just started getting into moderin calligraphy and I skipped learning the basic part. It's only now I understand why I need to learn them first. You're probably the only one with a detailed explanation as to why we beginners need to learn the basics well. Thanks for this video!

    I've been trying to learn how to hand letter and have watched several tutorials but this one was actually the most helpful to me so far!! I'm really excited because I have practiced drills from many other videos but didn't seem to be improving and I wasn't sure why but after watching this video I was actually able to write a word in calligraphy for the first time!!!! Thanks so much for the video! I now have faith that I CAN ACTUALLY do this. 💗

    Thanks for this video and am so glad to have watched this before committing further into calligraphy. If possible, would you be able to make a video of you breaking down each alphabet into basic strokes? Most of the alphabets are covered by the basic strokes, but there’s are some letters like ‘b’, ‘f’, ‘k’ ‘r’, ‘s’ that I’m finding it tough to connect to the basic strokes. If not video, I would love your advice from here too!! Tia!
