It’s also important to know you will feel these new muscles when you practice. Don’t be surprised if they get sore in the beginning.

Yes! Practice is so important! I learned how to hand letter pretty consistently way faster than I thought I would! TIP!!: I kept one brush pen and scraps of paper in my purse, so at restaurants or on a bus or in a cab or something I would just pull it out and do some practicing on my paper scraps or a napkin (or these awesome lettering worksheets :) instead of browsing on my phone. This helped SO much and made practicing a lot easier to find time for!

Yes!!!! I can finally say I'm soooo excited to start what I've tried to start many times. What was so difficult before, was that I couldn't find a YouTube channel with someone so inviting to teach, until I found your channel. You are such a kind voiced person willing to patiently teach and help with your free printables. Thank you so much sweetie, God bless you. Can I ask where do I get those specific pens or similar ones?

I've been starting to learn calligraphy and your channel has helped me so much! Thank you for doing these videos, I've also been learning cursive for the first time so your videos are helping me get better!

I’m not a beginner anymore but this is the best beginner video I’ve ever seen and helps me a lot with teaching others hand lettering! Thank you so much!

I found you last night through Sarah Martinez and I’m so excited, I can tell that your approach is going to be so helpful.

A few months ago, I jumped into stamping & card making. I am eager to add to that craft, being able to do some of my own lettering & after viewing a couple of your VERY HELPFUL videos with supply suggestions & practice sheets, I feel way more comfortable getting started, so a HUGE thanks for sharing from your experience. MUCH APPRECIATED !!

[jordynadams]

Omg I loved the video! You talked calmly and slow and made it so easy to understand. I also love how you show us the stokes on paper and the Diagrams of hand lettering!!❤️

[allison]

Your voice is so soothing! This definitely helps even though I'm, not exactly a beginner. Thanks for this video!!!💜💜💜

Thank you so much! I am an absolute beginner, so this breakdown of the strokes was very helpful to me.

I have never tried calligraphy. I hope I can learn something from this... Thank you, so much! ☺️

Hello Suzie, I just really want to thank you for not only covering every possible situation when it comes to ‘hand-lettering’, but your videos definitely land on a positive note. Do you know how embarrassed I was to ask my first Calligraphy teacher the differences between the THICK and thin parts of a letter? Listening to your voice ever so politely explain it, then show it, then reminding the viewer (me:-) all your little tricks and experiences on how to never forget it, was deeply impressive. I look forward to downloading & printing out all your helpful worksheets. There’s no doubt, without a great teacher one will only learn marginally. But to learn from a passionate instructor spreads confidence to produce the very best!

I just got the dual brush pens today and printed of some practice papers and I’m so excited to learn! I was having problems figuring out the angle to write and how to get the down stroke and basically writing with it at a really down angle if that makes sense..

[danpost]

Very nice demonstation of these strokes and the techniques to make them. I just subscribed.

Hello friends . These are my tips and tricks other than Suzie's . I've been watching and learning from her for 2 yrs and now I can probably say I know how to letter . Well make sure you practice much and much of drills ad a beginner + try to avoid large and super flexible brush pens like camlins being Indian I'VE less access to colour varietes and bought them but trust me instead of buying that you must buy tombow fudenosuke or a small brush pen if u are heavy handed like me. Also we know that crayola markers are mostly preffered but is very very expensive like 2000 INR so you should find its alternative of INR 150 luxur carioca birello dual tips on Amazon . I'D have them and can't stop practicing with those pens try avoiding a lot of stationery and focus . Also follow Suzie and some other good youtubers and know the tips and tricks to find your own style rest I suggest to be a perseverant . Be good, do good and have good .
