How To Get Started with Dip Pen Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering (for Beginners!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- I LOVE modern calligraphy! And sometimes it seems like you need to use a brush pen to create this look and that a dip pen is for more "formal" styles. But I think it's completely possible to create beautiful, modern calligraphy using a pointed pen (or dip pen) and ink! Here is my intro tutorial. You can grab the free practice worksheets used in this video at howtohandletter.com/resourceli...

What are the types of paper where you can smoothly use dip pens? I'm currently practicing writing with dip pens on standard bond papers and watercolor paper. My prof already noted that using dip pens on these papers is quite a hassle because the dip pens accumulate the fiber on the paper. But ofc, we're using these papers for now since it's just for practice.
Love all ur videos 😍❤️ and ur amazing lettering style 🤩
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Beautiful 😍👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you!
Omg, just love ur writing!💕
Thank you so much!
Tnx for the tips
Of course! Thank you for watching!
the 'ink holder'..is an ink well
Thanks for clarifying!
What was the specific straight holder and nib you used when you wrote the alphabet?
What's the beautiful bronze ink that you are using?
In the modern day world, what is brush lettering or calligraphy used for? Are there any occupations they can be used in?
I love your style of hand lettering 🌹🙏🏻
That is such a great/fun question! There are definitely still people out there making an income from doing more traditional things like envelope calligraphy for weddings or hand drawn signage. But I feel like it's also expanded SO much! When you look around at products in stores like Target, so much of what is there was created using lettering. People are making & selling hand drawn fonts using procreate and/or adobe illustrator. Lots of people use their lettering to create physical products to sell, like mugs, apparel, etc... but also licensing your work to have it put on products other people are making is another option (think about scrapbooking or journaling products like stamps or paper). Some people also make repeating patterns for things like fabric, wallpaper... there are so many options! Thanks for watching!
Those mini pots look great what do I search for? I'm in the UK so don't want to import if possible
hey .! can u plzz tell me which ink do u use this helps me aalot
I love your block and vials what would search for to find a similar product?
Thank you! They’re called dinky dips. I got mine from paper & ink arts but I think you can get them lots of places!
I just bought one today ima attempt to learn go use it i heard its not wasy
I need a nib with a 2mm base for my quill. Any ideas…?
what happens if I try to make a thick upstroke with a fountain/dip pen? I will break the nib or tear the paper or what?
First ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
What kind of paper should I use for pointed pen calligraphy?
I like HP Premium 32 for practice, but I also really like using vellum! Thanks for watching!
Seems like my handlettering never be this good no matter how hard I try 😂
Can i use a fountain pen with installed cartidage for calligraphy
I don't have a ton of experience with fountain pens (I'm learning, but still new to them!) but from my understanding, they're usually not as flexible as a dip pen nib or a brush pen. I have one that has a flex nib, but the variation in thick & thin strokes is very subtle. That being said, I do still love to use them for handlettering and script writing, they just don't have the same thick/thin strokes as the others! Hope that helps!
Thank u sooo much you helped soo much with this replyy love from india hope u stay safe
32nd comment! I love you!!
Yay! Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a dip pen for the first time ever I have no idea what I am doing. Your video was informative but I still suck lol. I have 0 idea how to pressure control it.
I'm so sorry! Do you know what type of tip it has? When I first got a dip pen, I think I bought a monoline type of tip for it so no matter how much pressure I applied, it didn't seem to work right. Turns out it was not me! Another thought is did you clean it? Sometimes I think there can be some coating on a new tip that can cause problems with the ink flow. Hope it's going better for you! Thanks for watching!
@@HowtoHandLetter I bought a few more tips and I have gotten a lot better. Though I don’t know what the tips are called I can say that they were much easier to use. And this video was a big help once I did get the new tips. Thank you
I can afford to buy a set of fountain pen and inks BUT I do not have the writing skill 😜✍
Oh fun I’m doing Japanese letters -_-
So fun!
So we DON'T need an oblique pen?? I just bought a straight one at the store and don't want to return and then buy online. Lol.
Nope. I cannot watch this. Never. Absolutely ridiculous and ... why? Why do you think your middle finger is better at fine directions than your index finger? That is provably false. Why not use your toes?
Golly, you still don't hold your pen correctly. Yes, I am old, and I learned to hold my pen the way they taught me. Why did your generation absolutely refuse to hold pens and pencils the way they taught you? And you still don't hold it correctly, even on the, "Okay, I do hold my pen this way when... ." No, that is not the correct way. Why? I just want to know why? Almost nobody from your generation holds a pen or pencil the way that is considered to be "correct," and I am going to guess if you had learned to do it the other way from the beginning it might have been easier for you. But can you tell me why you absolutely refused to do it the way people tried to teach you to do it? Is it like upspeak? Which you are not guilty of at all, by the way. But the way you are holding your pen is giving me the heebie jeebies.
If we're being honest, there is no "correct" way to hold it as it's almost entirely subjective to the individual behind the pen; Let's put it this way, say a poet from the Victorian era time traveled and was attending a seminar at the local museum about true dip pen/quill and ink penmanship. Say you walk up to him to showcase how "correctly" you can write, only for him to spit on your paper, crumple it up, and demand to know why you have the audacity to "write the way you do" and is repeatedly demanding to know why you "refuse" to write "correctly". He goes on to question your capabilities, entirely generalizing an entire generation of people into one instance, and berrating you with harsh unrealistic criticisms; He just wants to know why you refuse to do it the way "you were taught". This hypothetical situation sounds very familiar, and the poet sounds like an incredibly shallow and bitter person with absolutely no awareness of the evolving world around them, and that it's ok to be original and unconventional in your artistic ways so long as you achieve what youre wanting to create. Please be more kind to people just trying to share knowledge they've gained and what's personally helped them in their journey, your old age should be granting you wisdom to celebrate new and innovative ways that put a fresh, fun, relatable spin on age old generational hobbies. God bless you, and I hope your remaining days are filled with positivity, love, and happiness.
