May I ask what kind of papers you are using? I'm currently using a Canson universal sketchbook, and it is starting to make the tombow dual brush pen fray a little bit. It maybe because I'm pressing too hard but either way the small fray is making it hard for me to do the thin strokes.
+Alan NGO Hi! I used a Rhodia grid pad (amzn.to/1llNBoP). Very smooth paper - it's my best recommendation for brush pens, especially to avoid fraying. But if you still find issues with fraying, it could be due to the way you are holding your pen. Check out my tips for holding the pen at the proper angle and in the correct direction to eliminate fraying (piecescalligraphy.com/learn). Let me know if that helps! Thanks, Alan.
been watching all day !! with breaks of course !! awesome teaching ...question ..the Tombow brush make big letters, I did use the pentel sign you recommended ....but if bearing down as I do ...how long will any of the pens actually last ? :(
I finished watching your basic stroke videos. They are so helpful in understanding how each letter is broken down. Can't wait for more videos! In the mean time, practice, practice, practice... :)
i have a question. how to remove the bristles from my brush pen? i use sakura koi colouring brush pen and if i use it for long time, the bristles will appear. and i will soon buy another brush pen, how to reduce the bristles? thanks, sharisse!
hi.thank you so much for great lessons. It helps me a lot. I used sakura koi brush pen as it's only available for me.i learn a lot from you thanks so much!
+Clarisse Polinag Hello! I used a Pentel sign pen with a brush tip (store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?yhst-141105795965626+WRq756+signbr.html+). Thanks for asking! I updated the video description to include the notepad as well.
HI! I really wanna thank you for all the videos you have posted on your channel about basic strokes, they've been very useful for me, hope you keep on doing it. Could you please tell me the name of the pen you use at this video? I mean the brand.
+Hernan Hernandez You are very welcome, Hernan! The pen I used is the Pentel sign pen with a brush tip (store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?yhst-141105795965626+WRq756+signbr.html+). Hope that helps!
hello sharisse! (love your name by the way ) I've stuck through this series and I've improved sososo much!! I've been looking for many tutorials and I'm glad I found your channel, you've helped me a lot thank you.(: by the way I have two questions; what is the name of the dotted paper that you have used in previous videos? and also what brush pens would you recommend to buy?
+gissellesabine Aww, thank you so much! I am super proud of you for sticking with the series. To answer your questions: The paper is a Rhodia grid pad. The pens I would recommend are the Tombow dual brush pens, Tombow Fudenosuke soft or hard tip, and Pentel sign pen with a brush tip. I JUST posted a review of five brush pens - check it out! Hope that helps. :)
Hi! I just found you channel a few hours ago and have been watching your videos and practising ever since. I'm far from satisfied with my basic strokes yet but as I'm trying to connect them into letters, I feel like I'm missing something when I try to do words. Can you please to a video on the strokes that are not basic strokes? Like the ones used to write *s*, or *r*, or the curvy part in *p*...? That would be so helpful! Thanks in advance! And by the way, I'm really loving your videos so far! :)
+Ida Eriksson Hi Ida! Yes! My goal is to roll out a new series on letters. Did you see my latest blog post and video on connecting the basic strokes to form letters? I didn't go into each letter yet, but plan to do so soon. Also, I have a free printable worksheet on my blog that contains all of my lowercase letters! Take a look and let me know what you think: piecescalligraphy.com/learn. Happy writing!
Thank you Sharisse. Love how clear and easy to follow your videos are. I definitely look forward to your future series on how to connect letters together.
+hey _cappy You are so welcome! And I still need to get to those letters I promised you. Good news: My next series will be on going through the alphabet, in honor of the ABC challenge on Instagram (@handletteredABCs). So stay tuned! Hopefully I'll get to the letters you needed soon. :)
Thank you so much. I just bought supplies and started yesterday. i am so addicted I worked through the 8 videos in 2 days. Cant wait to practice more and cant wait to buy more pens to play with!
Awesome series, Sharisse! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into creating these tutorials! I can already see a difference in my writing since completing the series. So thank you, again! Can't wait to see what else you have in store!
