Sooooooooooo satisfying thank you so much!!
you make this look so easy!
Well done, thank you. I'm headed to the craft store now.
hehe you're welcome :)
I've always been kinda jealous of people with the skills to draw well, looks really pretty
Me too! haha. I am not a great illustrator but I can handle lettering :)
Oh wow, I will have to check out that Pentel marker. They are my goto for pencils my whole life but did not know they did the paintbrush pens. I should've known. :)
Ya! That pen is definitely my #1 favourite!
i liked your video its really great ...
thanks for that :)
you're welcome :)
wow this was awesome
Thanks!
Its inspiring
Thank you!
Hi, where can I find that kind of paper? The grid square paper? Thank you
great! thanks
great job
thanks! :)
Ah love this - reminds me of my childhood in France where we had classes on this. Such an art! I'm your 215th subbie thanks to #YT4B, looking forward to connecting with you more x
Thanks Lynn, that's amazing they had classes for hand writing in France! It's so rare!
the practice sheets need to be printed in any special paper?
printer paper is fine, you should high a higher quality so there is less bleeding and it's easier on your pens, something like this: amzn.to/2lH7v0V
How did you transfer the caligraphy you made to adobe? great video though i learned new things..
Thanks! There is a quick run through at the end, but I scan it into my computer and then open it up in photoshop to clean it up and then take it into illustrator to vectorize. Is that what you where asking?
Sarah Types yes thank you!
Lovely video!
How much does it cost I absolutely love it
The practice sheet is $7 CDN on etsy :)
Where can you get that practice tablet?
It's the iPad Pro (apple)
What pen did you use ? :)
The pentel artist pen, the link is in the description :)
Sarah Types Thank you 💖

Would like practice pages moonsoverpammie@gmail.com
ive got copic ciao but they just don't turn out the way they should look :( any advice?
Those are definitely harder... I find the Copic Sketch is a little easier to use (still more on the difficult side) A great beginner pen is the tombow fudenosuke
Sarah Types should i buy the hard/soft tip im a beginnrr
It's kind of a personal preference.. they are somewhat similar. If you can, grab both and see which you like better :) Either way, they are pretty easy to use :)
Sarah Types ok thx and one more thing, my brush keep fraying is there any way to fix frayed brush pen or should i use some type of paper to prevent it from fraying thx :)
It is usually the paper that is causing the pen to fray, you want a super smooth paper! Also don't press so hard :)
Wow you look a lot like Maria Sharapova lol
never heard that one before! thanks though :)
I loooove hand lettering. Following along so I can maybe learn something. Such a great video.
This is such a great video Sarah! You're so good!!!!
Nice job!!! I love how you went back and forth between you on camera and you showing something. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge too! Nice editing too! Keep up the great work!
I don’t know why, but I’m always astonished when the handwriting process is on. It’s so aesthetic
Love this tutorial! Your quote looked amazing and I love how you walked me through how to create it!
Have been trying to learn brushing for a long time now.
This has been very useful, thanks! :)
Thanks! I'm glad it was useful :)
Nice video, thanks, im just getting started
Oh I love this and I am gonna subscribe the hell out of it :DP.S: I want a detailed video on vectorization
I'm working on that video now!
Loved your video! can you share me a link for the Pentel Brush pen you are using? It's looks like its really writes smoothly. Thanks!
Thanks! This is the pen I'm using: amzn.to/2m4LjyS
Very good video!
I know this video is old but if u know where can i buy HP premium 32 paper in the Philippines? Ive been looking everywhere like SM, Robinsons, National Bookstore, Paper World and etc but the paper is still not there! I search on Shoppe, Lazada, O shopping and many more but.. STIL NO PAPER!!
*ANY FILIPINOS HERE*
I have the same problem as well
Sorry I have no idea.. have you looked online? Maybe they have a similar alternative.
up until I had calligraphy classes in my school but after my board exam and college, I can't even tell people I attended a calligraphy class in my school because that would be hard to believe.But sometimes when I focus hard and slow, I can do some badass writing but that's rare.I think a bit more practice will help.
How do you put more ink into the Pentel artist pen?
they are individual cartridges so you just replace it when finished..you can also refill it but technically you aren't supposed to
Omg you were the one who liked my post on IG!! - @calligraphy_addictions
Me : sees sharpie and says faux calligraphy
Her: sharpie brush
Me: waaaaa
hahahaha I didn't know it existed until like a year ago
or whenever this was filmed haha
Why do make it look so simple???? How much is your fave brush tho?
practice makes it look simple! My favourite brush pen is about $10 I think
Sarah Types Thank you for telling me.
really good teacher.Thank for great last minute tips
Where did you get the pen from
it's the Tombow Fudenosuke, I got it on amazon: amzn.to/2hjqTNu
The "digitize" segment was a nice surprise at the end.
Thank you for making this affordable
You need to slow down
If you prefer to watch it slower, you can actually go into the settings on the video and change the speed to a slowed down version
where did you buy your calligraphy tools ?
All over the place - In Toronto I'll go to deserres, currys, wonder pens or Michaels. Online I'll buy from Amazon or jet pens :).
thanks ! :)
what ink do you put in the watercolor pen? thank you! this is really helpful!
You can put pretty much anything! Watercolour, calligraphy ink.. or you just load up the back with water and dip it in an ink of choice. I find the second method the easiest because you can switch up the colours easier. It depends on the look your going for as well. For watercolour I would just use water and then dip it in the water colours from a palette.
Thank you for all your fun tips!
it's so sad that I'm a left handed person :(
so am i but i have been practising, there's some youtubers who do left handed calligraphy :)
I've seen quite a few calligraphers through instagram and in facebook groups that are left handed. I'm sure if you do a bit of searching you can find some lefty resources!
This was very helpful! Watching u write is so relaxing. Im collecting materials to start myself, hoping to enjoy more relaxation lol! I’ve subbed & rang the bell, looking forward to learning more from u!
Thank you! Let me know if there's anything specific you're curious to see :)
you're so talented and beautiful person. this video is very helpful. seems like online worksheets are the only way to learn calligraphy since I live in Egypt and we don't have English calligraphers. Thank you ❤
Hi Jesso, Thanks for the kind words :) Luck for your there is an unlimited amount of resources out there to learn! Even up until recently in a big city like Toronto, there weren't many in person workshops so you never know!
Whaaaa it's so nice 💖
I am very excited about this. I just bought your practice pdf. I will let you know how it goes. 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉
Yay! I'm so excited for you! Make sure to tag me, I'd love to see what you create :)
That was fabulous!
So relaxing!!
How does the tracing paper respond to wet ink (like pentel pocket brush, etc)? It looks like it bleeds a bit - is that what you scanned for your final copy? If you used cardstock or other paper, would there be less cleanup in illustrator?
Also, have you ever done this to create a typeface to use on the computer, or is it better for each lettered image to be hand made from scratch?
Hey Jamie! Tracing paper is actually nice with the brush pens because it doesn't damage the brush (cause fraying), I think it depends on what kind you buy because I've had some that bleed and some that didn't. If I'm going to put something on paper to scan into my computer I use the marker paper from Canson or a high end printing paper 24#laserjet or 32# laserjet. I have created a type face to use on the computer, I wrote out all the letters and then used tracing paper to perfect them and also used a light pad so I could put regular paper over the tracing paper and re-draw it on the good paper. Creating your own font is A LOT of work and a big process! But basically I wrote out the alphabet using a grid so everything lined up and then scanned it into my computer and used a font software to create it!
Sarah Types Thanks for the reply - I'll try out some tracing paper with my brushes and see how it goes (Pentel, Kuretake fudegokochi, Sakura Pigma brush).
I guess it would be fun and cool to have made my own typeface, but if I were to use it on invitations or greeting cards, it would probably be not much different than using any downloaded "hand lettered" font... Part of the charm is that someone actually wrote out an invitation or card or envelope, right? Instead of it being printed off by the dozen...
Ya exactly! :)
This was brilliant. I learned more from your 12 minute video than days on my own! lol I love that I found you! xx
Awesome! So glad to hear that :)
Tbh this wasn’t very helpful because I was looking on how to write with just a brush pen and a piece of paper
If you watch past 4 mins I actually do write with just a brush pen and piece of paper
How did you capture what you were doing on Instagram on your phone without recording?
I used quicktime, you plug your phone into your man.. open quicktime, do a new movie recording and from the drop down by the record button you select your phone :)
As a left hander I struggle with the trying to get the thickness and thinness correct.Do you have any tips?
sorry no, I'm not a lefty.. but I imagine the pressure is similar. It's tough at the beginning but be extra slow and consciously try to lift your pen on the way up so it's just touching and then press a little hard on the way down.
Do you have a video on Black Letter cause your black letter is 🔥
It's my favourite style and I'd love to, I just am not as confident in my abilities so I don't know that it would be that good of a video! :( But I'm getting better :)
I loveee this video. Super helpful. I discovered you from your pad pro video. I plan to buy one for school as well has digital illustration.
Hey! Thanks for the comment :) Glad it was helpful! You'll love it for illustrating, it's so much fun and so easy to just doodle without worry about using up all your ink and paper.
Great video, learned lots. Thank you!
Hello, what brush pen did u use for this video?
Pentel Artist Pen: amzn.to/2gx5UrL
Where is the download I cannot seem to find them.
it's in the description box :) www.etsy.com/ca/listing/485353490/brush-lettering-practice-sheet
Hi! I'm a newbie :)
Are all those pens you mentioned at the start refillable or disposable?
Hey! :) I have a list of them in the description and only 2 are refillable. The water brush is 100% refillable as you can put more ink in the back or water and then just dip it into watercolour paint. The pental brush is sort of refillable, you buy a new cartridge and re-use the brush part. You can also dip this pen into a calligraphy ink because it's just like a paint brush.
A huge thanks for the reply and very useful tips since I'm just starting to study calligraphy :)
Do you have any tips for lefties?
sorry no :( I've always been a righty!
I luv the writing so much😍
Keonis Shi thank you!
I really love your tutorials 👏🏽 looking forward to more
Thank you! Is there anything specific you want to learn more about?
Sarah Types I know you have a Procreate tutorial up already, but could you do more videos on apps you use to create with the iPad? I've been having trouble with clean lines in lettering and drawing with the Apple Pencil. I know it takes some time getting used to but I was just wondering if oh have some tips. Thanks!
I can definitely do more apps I use with the iPad Pro. How have you been having trouble with clean lines?
You know how in one of your videos you vectorize your lines in photoshop? The only way I've found to clean up lines is to zoom and fix them with a smaller pen and eraser. By other tips i mean by little things you might do to try perfect your work.
Oh ok, I actually clean them up in illustrator after procreate - I can definitely show how I do stuff like that :)
I'm your 3350th Sub :DDDDDD
