    I was so obsessed with hand-lettering the first time I heard about it, so I kept practicing. I got told my calligraphy was bad when I first started, but I kept practing. And now, I think I mastered it well! That is why the key to good calligraphy is lots of practice!

    I personally like brush markers with harder nibs because it makes it easier to make thinner lines, which I find quite difficult to make with softer nibs... A really good one is the Sakura Fudenosuke brush marker. Also I really like the contrast when there are really thin lines and really thick lines...

      The pen should be about 45 degrees in relation to the paper. The perpendicular has nothing to do with where your paper is, it’s perpendicular to where your downstroke is. I hope that clears it up for you!

      Calligraphy is done with calligraphy pens usually (dip pen or fountain pen with different nibs), theres way more (somewhat strict) rules and different styles. Its the old timey writing, think letters written with a quill and finished with wax sealing etc. The hand-lettering movement just took the name for some reason, now it creates only confusion. Im primarily a calligraphy girl, but I can do the lettering, I just dont care for it that much. I like messing around with my ink bottles, I guess :)
