I’m having a fun with making calligraphy videos. I still need to work on exposure, intro and sound; but I’m excited about an opportunity to learn something new.
I’ll be posting a lot more calligraphy videos on my youtube channel and instagram in the future.

I have been wanting to learn Calligraphy for a while. I do have the nibs, and the ink. I have the nibs that you dip in the ink. It is beautiful.
How cool you already have the nibs and ink! I’d love to help you learn.
I love your videos, any calligraphy video makes my day!
I have ALWAYS wondered what writing calligraphy would look like. That was fantastic. Thanks!
Fun to see you in action!! Something soothing about watching people create things :)
Thank you so much!!
Do you have any tips for keeping the pen inked for longer? I can’t seem to write more than four letters without having to dip in for more ink. Also, when I downstroke just the outline of the downstroke inks, not the inside after the first two letters. Maybe you can help guide me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
It all depends upon the type of ink, nib and style of lettering you’re using. If you have a broad downstroke or a heavy hand, you’ll be dipping frequently. Dipping every 2 letters can be pretty normal if you’ve got a heavier style.
Im a Left Handed person – shl d pen Nib be on the Left Side or will it block my strokes ?
