Getting Started
A video look at the supplies I use and recommend.
The Basic Strokes
On the upstrokes, you use light pressure and on the down strokes, you use heavier pressure. I’ll demonstrate this in a video below.
Paper Matters
As I mentioned in the first video, using the proper paper keeps your brush tips in great condition so look for ultra-smooth paper designed for use with brush pens and markers.
My favorites are:
- Rhodia Dot Pad
- Canson Marker Paper
- Copic X-Press It Paper
- Watercolor Paper: Hot Press is smoother than Cold Press so opt for the hot press!
- Copy Paper: HP Premium Choice Laserjet Paper
Holding the Brush Pen
You can really hold your pen however it is comfortable for you, but one thing you need to do is hold it at a roughly 45-degree angle, as demonstrated in the video lesson.

August 8, 2016 at 1:56 pm“Free”waste of my time-
Dawn Nicole says
August 8, 2016 at 3:08 pmThe problem with the Internet is that people think just because they have an opinion, they’re entitled to say it. Freedom of Speech does not give people freedom to be unkind. It’s a right but it’s also a responsibility. Kindness Changes Everything.
One of my favorite quotes: “If you’re not kind on the Internet, then you’re not kind.” -Glennon Doyle Melton
Alicia Steele says
August 8, 2016 at 3:25 pmPreach! Haters gonna hate! I guess my question is why do you click on a post entitled hand lettering worksheets if you think hand lettering worksheets are a waste of time?
Jeannie says
August 9, 2016 at 6:40 amI can’t decide where to start! Thank you.

Elizabeth says
July 12, 2017 at 7:20 pmCan I use pen/ nib calligraphy tools with these worksheets? I’m a beginner and want to get into calligraphy. Is the technique between brush and the pen/ ink different?
Dawn Nicole says
July 13, 2017 at 1:05 pmHi Elizabeth! You can absolutely use a calligraphy pen on the practice sheets. Just print the sheet on smooth laserjet pet for best results! 🙂

January 9, 2018 at 11:48 pmAll the links on this page are broken for me (404 not found)
I noticed they all end in .html as well as having the year and month in the middle of the URL, but that doesn’t seem to be the current URL structure of your site.
If you changed your Permalink structure in WordPress, it does not automatically redirect links. It looks like all the links work if you remove the date and .html parts, so I would recommend doing a big search & replace in your site an also setting up 301 redirects for the old link structure. Feel free to email me if you want more advice on that.
Dawn Nicole says
January 10, 2018 at 1:36 amHi Kristarella! Agh, thanks for letting me know. I hired a gal to change my permalink structure and setup redirects a few months ago. It has all been working just fine up until the last 24 hours! I’m going to send her an email so she can check it out ASAP. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Laura says
