“Use these markers and pens!”
**takes out Dora pencil from second grade**
I've seen this comment before 😐
Galactic Gacha oh..uh well idk
@꧁Laffi_Taffi꧂ when I give someone a pencil to use they always keep it and when I ask for it they say that they lost it .they are stealing my pencils and selling it to the other children in the class!!!!
*ok sweetie your all set*
Yasss!!! Lmao
my eyes: its beautiful
my brain: lets do it
my hands: no.
Lol
same
*cough* that one killed me
😂😅🤣
fr
Step one: Have non-shaking hands
Me: **failed**
😄😄😄
same
Usually my hand starts shaking while I do the upward thin stroke which makes it really difficult....
@@vikasminat8136 Uzumaki Naruto dattebayo
Same 😅
Amanda : That pen, this brush.
Me and my highlighter : *creepily staring at each other*
bro i used a highlighter and it was like really good
"Use these different markers and pens!"
I look over to my blue ball-point pen.
You could still use that for faux calligraphy :)
Daniel Jakes at least your not using a pencil...
Darius what do you mean
I have a crayola supertip xD
Lol
When I do calligraphy I sometimes forget a letter in one of the words because I'm too focused😂
Same XD LOL
Same 😆
IKR
Why do I relate so much lol
Hahahah SAME LMAO
“these are some markers i use” *me using eyeliner.*
HAHAHHA
XD
Lmao
LMAO
I cant- 💀
Hilarious thing was, my friend had conveniently given me, watercolor, brush, pens for my birthday lol. I didn’t know what to do with them, but I saw people learning calligraphy, and then I suddenly realized I had them. I’m starting to learn calligraphy, and this video really helped me! Thanks.
When was your birthday?
Step 1: Have good pens
Me: *mission failed*
Hmmm I wonder why all of these comments that are saying they don't have good art supplies are gacha accounts 🤔🤔
sofia is a doge yea
@Lulu plays
Why did you stop posting (I'm subscribed)?
*Well get them next time*
😂
Now my handwriting will look thícc
Welcome to a new episode of “What new thing my ADHD has inspired me to learn”
That’s why I’m here🥰
😂❤️ this is me
Me too!
@iVintageVixen it hurts how relatable the comments under the videos of my ADHD phases are
Thank you, you're comment helped me close this video and forget about learning calligraphy
Me: Let's do this
My pens: I'm on vacation
Step 1: have a nice handwriting
I was just going to write this
Not true! She isn’t doing true ‘calligraphy’ where all your letters are made from a set off different ‘shapes’ or ‘drills’. She’s just doing hand lettering. The title is pretty misleading!😊
Yeah. This is just lettering. Not calligraphy
Welp, I can’t do this then
Or/And : Step 1(2) : Be Right-Handed 🤔😢😅
Caligraphy expert: has different pens and paintbrushes
Me:uses a cheap ball point pen😂
Ha!
Saammmeee!!!
Lol
That can be used as a calligraphy pen too! I have one!
fork nice for calligraphy.
**Me finally trying to do something**
My brain: ok we can do it!
My hand: YOU WISH
me trying to learn calligraphy so i can start working on my anime journal: 👁👄👁
this is legit the only reason im here lmao
Same- 👁👅👁
Love your handwriting! 🌟✨
Natalies Outlet hi Natalie! Love your videos so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Especially the pranks haha
thanks girl! love your videos!
Natalies Outlet omg I didnt expect to see you here 😱
Natalies Outlet OMG HIIII I WATCH UR VIDEOS!
Natalies Outlet omigod Natalie saw this !!! 😍😍😘😘
Can you do a video where ypu do calligraphy but with a cheap pen?
Crayola, that's why she mentioned them 😊
Try Crayola broad tip markers. You can get the same thin and thick as with a fancy brush pen by just adjusting the pressure.
You can get 12 for $5 at target
Use a Fenty Beauty eyeliner pen
You can also use regular pens for faux calligraphy!
I am ten year’s I am from kerela I want to learn calligraphy so o searched UA-cam how to learn calligraphy so your channel was first. now I learned calligraphy I am so so happy thanks a lot
OMG WE ARE INDIANS 😊❤
What a great, thorough tutorial! We are hosting a big holiday party this weekend for my husband's work and I thought "wouldn't it be nice to have placards by each dish with pretty lettering showing the name of the dish". Then down the rabbit hole I went (and to the art store for appropriate markers). Wow. never knew how involved this was, although 5 min into your video and I'm already improving (at least enough to get me through this party!). Thank you!!
Anyone here trying to learn calligraphy during quarantine..? 😬
Hi! 😂
Yaaaaaas!
Me rn
Hi my twin

@frustrated freya She shows how at the end of the video!
Same😂

When you were showing all of the supplies, I love that the watercolor brushes are worn from use 😍 that’s my favorite detail
You know what, yours is the best, clearest, concise & most helpful tutorial for complete beginners like me. Thank you!! 🥳🌸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Her: *This pen, that pen, this brush, that brush...*
Me: *look over to my highlighters*
😂
Actually, You can use highlighters too!! I use mine alot!!
nrhnsh mzln highlighters definitely work!
Yeah
Mood
Am I the only one who can do calligraphy with highlighters?anyone?
Amanda : Look at these pens! Get these, they'll help!
Me : *looks to mom hopefully*
Mom : No just use chopsticks
Me :
If your mother sees them as "chopsticks",you're hella lucky.My mom sees the as "waste of pricefull time"....Lucky u
『 broken nova 』 politely? 😂
My mum is quite the opposite
王涛 | Are you Chinese? Sorry if this seems rude, but at my school we all have to do calligraphy with our own brushes (chinese character) and my parents won’t buy me the brushes ;(
Natsuki it’s okay to ask. I am Chinese!
How in in depth you went with it is absolutely wild. Great content, miss
By coincidence I had all of these exact supplies 😂😂😂
I swear a good 50% of comments are about being left handed 😂😂😂
but only 10% of the population is left handed
*weird*
beytrod yay I’m speciallll lol
I need help
Hi! Please checkout my channel. ua-cam.com/video/sCHPywqfYfM/v-deo.html
Sharon R. I’m left handed and I think that its like where all my problems start😂😂! My normal handwriting sucks , I can’t open doors with my left hand bc it feels wrong , I smudge every pen or pencil! And when I write I can’t see what I’ve written before so sometimes I write a word twice!!!!!! I swear 😂😂😂
her: using nice and expensive brush pens
me: *using a crayola marker*
scoops stuff actually crayola is a good calligraphy marker!
6:20
I-
You're lucky, they don't even sell that here in Croatia..
Me:using a pencil
I love super tips too
When you were showing all of the supplies, I love that the watercolor brushes are worn from use that’s my favorite detail
Such a great video!! You explained and showed everything so well!
I barely got my calligraphy pens a few hours ago and I'm already watching these videos lol. I can't even do cursive perfectly.
jeonaeri well i didnt even learn cursive 😂
Our school forces us to write cursive in grade 5 and 6 ;-; you lucky things
Cursive was forced onto us since 1st grade lol
Mine is kinda decent, recommend to write in italics rather upright
@@tatiana2133 yes if we didn't do cursive we got in trouble!
@@quiitenx7902 ahH yeah we had to pay 10$ lol
Her: *makes a Amazing calligraphy *
Me: * can't even make a straight line *
Xxcreamy_ice_creamxX YES
that's lettering....calligraphy is something very different
@Kritika Bharthuar no.... its like "modern calligraphy" crap.
May I present a scale to you
Very helpful. I knew nothing about calligraphy and was gifted a kit not too long ago. After watching this video, I’m super excited to try it.
Yes I love your vids! Especially bujo and Hand lettering (Calligraphy)
I can't honestly tell you how much this helped me. I watched this video about release time and now I am a calligraphy teacher at art school. Thank you ❤💚
Mohammed Anas WOW thats amazing!!
wow really?
I dont believe you..
@@arc7200 A.R.M.Y ?
@@isha-dn9rv meeee BTS army.....
Your line saying "thin lines in the upstroke, thick lines in the downstoke" has been the single most helpful advice I got in learning calligraphy. I pretty much went from no idea to competent from the length of this video.
Chek my handwriting friends
Same bro. That one line sums up mostly everything.
So many great tools, tips, and resources covered ✍
Sometimes we get so into scrolling down and reading comments that we forget to thank the creator...of the video...for an amazing job done.🤔so Amanda if you're reading this,thank you much!😚
Ok??
yep, thanks Amanda
I’m really nervous to start bullet journaling because I’m scared I’ll smudge and wreck my calligraphy because I’m left handed :(
featherqueen31: As someone who has a bullet journal, just because you don’t know calligraphy, doesn’t mean you can’t do it! There are so many other fonts and designs you can experiment on! You can even use highlighters, but make sure they aren’t the ones that can bleed through paper. Just get creative, after all, it is your journal!
IM LEFTY TOOO OMG THIS IS SUCH A MOOD
I use the frixtion pens in my bullet journal. I make mistakes ALL the time. I just erase them and keep it pushing. They have highlighters now too!
I was really scared too because my handwriting is very ugly... But I tell you one thing: you can always make a sketch of what you want to have in your journal and then use the pen over it so you have more control. Also my solution to the handwriting problem is writing slowly and also practicing on a piece of paper before I write something down. It really helps! (And also be patient, I smudged a lot at the beginning because I wasn't patient, so waiting is a good option)
featherqueen31 your smudged calligraphy could be an aesthetic kind of lettering perhaps! Like a Smokey effect or sumthin?
I did it it looked so real and my parents really love it because of you!❤ Love ur vids❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been interested in learning calligraphy for years now and this was helpful! :)
My own calligraphy is based on a combination of book-hand, and italic. I have practiced it for years and can do it from memory without anything to look at as a guide. Many people find it to be pleasing, and appreciate having me give them gifts made in this style. On the other hand, there are lettering styles I do have to see in order to replicate them. In a book that I was using as a teaching aid, it was recommended that I practice a style like this. I've been doing calligraphy for over 30 years, and quite enjoy it. Just in the last year, I started making my own ink. When I retire from my regular job, I would like to do this to earn extra money to supplement my retirement income. My latest batch of ink is still in the works, and was made my boiling pecans to get a brown pigment. I'm adding other ingredients to darken the color. It took me 3 days to boil the pecans, and then condense down the resulting color. I still have about 3 weeks to go to mature the ink to usability, unless you want brown ink. For additional styles I like, for which I need a guide are, Celtic, and Gothic Black letter. I wish you well in your own endeavors.
Daniel Gable you r bo-o-o-o-oring!!!!!! (yawn)
Thank you, I strive for as boring a life as possible.
Daniel Gable i love how much time you took to write this.
Props to you👏🏾
That's actually awesome !
Daniel Gable Awesome! I wish I could be as superior as you!
This is the first video of yours I ever watched. It led me to discover lettering and journaling and now I’m looking back at it two years later with two full bullet journals and I’m so grateful for all the inspiration you’ve given me over the years! ❤️❤️ thanks Amanda!
Your writing is beautiful and you are sooo talented thanks for the intro.
This is so helpful. Honestly probably the best breakdown I have watched.

Are you from India?
@@Miraya0423 yes I am
This is the video that I discovered 3 yrs ago when I am trying to search for basic calligraphy tutorial because I was new to it. Then I started following Amanda 😁
Omg amanda i love that you made this video! I first watched it when it came out and have been watching ur videos ever since. You are such a big infuence on my art and im such a big fan! I know u might not see this but if u do have an AMAZING day!

Why these pens are so expensive 😂, i want to buy as a beginner, but seeing the prices of these pens, i should do DIY and make one with a popsicle.
I'm planning to make a video with the same topic but using CHEAP pens/markers instead of expensive art materials! ☺️
@@nami_archives I'll be waiting for this video😄
😂😂 I'll help uh make ur diy... And half share to me too
@@shamilaniyas5965 ok Sithy👍
I've got zebra mild liner brush pens, I got all 15 pens for about $15. They're probably the cheapest high quality brush pens out there, I recommend them :) you should try them, maybe just get 1 pack of 5 pens.
This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 🤙🏼
bruh like the last pen tip helped me so much like i was doing calligraphy in after 5 mins of practice , love your method of teaching. You just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Me:Who needs all these different tools when you've got a black pen?
Also me: I wish I had all those things😢
your VERY articulate, presice. You get right to the point without a lot of over the top explanation. That's what a nuby needs to hear! Thanks!
newbie*
This helped a LOT, I just got new brushes and I think it's perfect for calligraphy but I don't know how to do calligraphy, but after watching this video, I can do some simply calligraphy!
Me: this looks easy
Me: I ju- i cant- wh-
2019 anyone nope just me?

Thank you, Amanda!
Very helpful.
Love from India
Thanks for making this video.. I am waiting for my calligraphy pen.. So excited to learn!!
Definitely something I want to learn and practice when I go on deployment 🖌
The first tip on upward and downward stroke was definitely helpful- I learned to do Chinese calligraphy in Korea when young but there it's done differently between horizontal and perpendicular lines. Same in Korean. So thank you 😊
Chek my handwriting friends
I don’t even watch this to learn, I just love how satisfying calligraphy and lettering is
Wow watch mine
Amada am your biggest fan❤️And am inspired by you❤️❤️And i use your ideas , and when my friends saw and they praise me a lot but all the credit goes to you❤️❤️Tahnkuuuu so much amada✨The calligraphy queen😊
I love your tutorial....would love to see more hand lettering tutorials. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I CAN DO IT!!
*gets paper*
*A minute later*
I GIVE UP!
Haha
,😊😊😊
Hmmmm it’s almost like there’s a tutorial right here and learning a skill takes time and practice and expecting yourself to succeed first attempt every time is setting yourself up for failure.
Legends said if you are early, amanda will notice you ❤
legends are correct 👀❤️
AmandaRachLee Ahhh you noticed me!! ❤ i love your videos so much 💯💯
I know this is out of topic, but--- your profpic is, AWESOME!!! KPOP FAN???

I love the work that you do! All the videos of yours that I've watched, I have fallen in love with. So good Amanda!!! :D
Calligraphy is an actual talent! You are so amazing at calligraphy and billet journaling and your bullet journals are the best I’ve even seen x I’m a beginner and are researching the supplies that I will need to start a 2019 bullet journal!! xx
Amanda, thank you so much for this, you're literally the best! I've been waiting so long for this! ❤️

Yes please!!!!!!
Practice everyday
I just got the tombow fudenosuke pens and I love them! They do take some getting used to though. I had been doing fake calligraphy until now which took up so much time! So I am definitely glad to have real calligraphy pens now!
Hey dii!!! I started practicing calligraphy in 2017 and i used your videos for help and now i can draw everything very perfectly! Thankyou so much di❤️i was waiting for many years just to come back here and remind you that how amazing you are! Lots of love from India ❤️🫶❤️✨✨
this is my new hobby! Thanks Amanda!!! :D
Brain: Hey, its so easy!
Hand: *trembles* *sweating*
[After finishing]
Brain: Honestly? I think you should choose other styles. :)
I practised this for one and a half hours and now I can do calligraphy really well, highly recomend this xoxo
My eyes: wow so pretty!
My brain: ye I can to that
My hand: ye how about a no.
Very easy to understand thank you Amanda Rachlee
As a lefty, calligraphy is extremely difficult with a brush or brush pen. The strokes don't come natural and I usually have to sketch out the letters with a pencil and then color it in. If I use a brush pen or brush I have to turn my hand in a really weird way which usually doesn't work...
Gurrlll,I feel you (I'm also a lefty)
*_Thank you for teaching and sharing your calligraphy skills! It helps a lot! And i learn to how to calligraphy since i watch this! And your handwriting is so beautiful!! Love lots 😊❤️_*
This was so so helpful! Thanks!
You are a very good teacher..u actually made it look so easy to learn calligraphy for beginners ❤️.. Thanks 😘
her: *has nice brush pens and stuff*
me: *looks over to my highlighter and sobs*
quill highlighters actually can work!
@@madyngo1137 i know, but im bad at using highlighters to do handlettering
I know this is an old tutorial, but I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! I got my Tombow brush pens today and went straight for your channel to find a tutorial on how to best use them. As usual, you did not disappoint! Extremely helpful, cannot thank you enough for what you do, Amada.
Me, my parents, my pet, my bonsai, my books, my tv, every brick of my house: just come out of your room !!! Its been ages you are lettering...🤣😂🤣
i was also waiting for the particular video. thanks for the wonderful video
I just realized you inspired me last 2017 and I conducted my very first event for Basic Calligraphy. With the x-height and everything. Thank you! Still following you in IG. You are an inspiration! ❤️
I bought 20 calligraphy pens but I don't know how to use it!!!Instead I shade the letters...
Same):
not the only one
I got a pack of 4 diffrent size pens and one of them was a brush pen so now iam gonna put it do use :D
exo_bts taesoo id have any;;-;;

Best video ever thank you so much queen!!!
This is the first video I've seen in your channel, and it's amazing! I didn't know how to use my brush pens, but now I can finally write in calligraphy!! Thank You So Much!!
