Faux Calligraphy: How to Get Started With Hand Lettering or Modern Calligraphy the Easy Way

via Skillshare

Overview

Would you like to learn hand lettering, also known as modern calligraphy or brush lettering, the easy way?

Let's admit it.

It's not quite as easy as some artists on Instagram make it look. But, it is so fun. It is a hobby that can be turned into handmade gifts and bring you so much joy. But it can also create frustration as well.

When I was learning to hand letter, no matter what I did, even with the best of pens, my lettering was not turning out right. I was getting frustrated.

That's when I found faux calligraphy.

Faux calligraphy is truly the easy way to get started with hand lettering. It's super simple to get started with right away. In this class, I will walk you step-by-step through the process of getting started.

It's a great way to add words to coloring pages, fun art pieces, hand-lettered cards, bookmarks and so much more.

When you enroll, you will get my lettering practice sheets that I have created for you. I have demonstrated every letter in the alphabet in faux calligraphy so you can literally finish lettering a phrase today.
