Constructive criticism is encouraged.

Hi guys, title says it all, can anyone draw them? How did you learn? Do you have any books or exercise charts to recommend?

I've been studying italic and I would like to learn one or two simple but beautiful fleurons to indicate section endings and beginnings in my everyday handwriting.

Thanks in advance!

I guys, I need some feedback to improve my handwriting. Thanks for your comment, would love to hear it.

I found this letter online, they said it was found in a book.

This is what I could read so far. I might be wrong in some cases

I have found myself in the amazing situation of finding a small writing set ink-and-brush (plus some other things I can't recognise) that my parents brought from a trip to China, and I thought it would be fun to try doing some caligraphy with it.

I know nothing. I am nervous because I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to grind it or how much water is needed, help?

Hello there, I’m new to calligraphy and I got a calligraphy pen set and a practice book for Christmas. I finally am trying it out today. I open the book and start practicing and pretty quickly run into a problem. The book wants thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes, but I’m using a pretty wide flat tip pen (I don’t know if that’s the proper name for it). I can kinda make the thickness it wants if I twist my limbs properly but it kinda feels off. Am I doing it right? Is the book useless for the type of pen I’m using? In case it helps I put a picture of the practice lines and the tip of the pen. The pens are GCQuill pens, and the book is “The Ultimate Guide to Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering For Beginners” from June and Lucy. Thanks in Advance

I am used to brush pen calligraphy and faux calligraphy. This is my first time even holding a pen with a flat tip.

Not using any specific style or script, just wrote the alphabet after seeing a few images of flat tip calligraphy.

Help me by pointing out mistakes and give advice to improve.

But I wanted to show the card I made for Mother’s Day in calligraphy

Hello everyone!

I need your help! I want to write some text on a fishing rod and I have tried so far to do it without success.

Decals are not an option.

I’ve been using enamel paint but it’s somehow too thick to flow through the calligraphy pen.

Have you ever tried to write on glass? I think it’s similar to the carbon fiber in terms of contact with the surface.

Example video: https://youtu.be/fV_3tpQGC7E?si=4UbTOXR2Xm1_FicT But I don’t have any stores selling the ink this man is using here in Europe.

Thank you!

I have a lot of kids and there just isn't the money to buy each one their own calligraphy pen and ink, etc. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions of websites, blogs, etc. on learning/doing calligraphy without the pens. I think it's a very specific discipline that my kids will hate and enjoy. Thank you in advance.

Recently bought some calligraphy nibs and realized that they did not have a reservoir. So I found some pyrography tips and made one myself.
