Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering by Paper Peony Press

Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering by Paper Peony Press is Basically I have the artistic ability of a remote control LOL I have always wanted to learn how to write in a pretty way. I’ve tried official classic calligraphy and that was a nightmare. But then I started seeing a lot of stuff on Instagram and online about hand lettering and a new way of doing calligraphy. So my interest was definitely piqued. After quite a bit of research I found this book online and immediately bought it. I think this book is good for somebody like myself. A beginner with or without artistic talent. I bought myself a “Tombow beginNer “ Kit with pen, pencil, eraser, etc. I also got myself a notebook that I could practice in. I must say I became particularly motivated after realizing I could do this. While I’m not going to post any images because nobody needs to laugh that hard. LOL I believe with some practice I can be kind of good. I could make pretty envelopes, make signs, etc. etc. goodness knows I will never have a career or 1 million followers on Instagram for my lettering skills, but it’s nice to learn something new and put the creative side of my brain to work. If you want to learn about lettering and hand calligraphy, amp up the way you write/draw your letters, further your skills, etc. this book is quite useful. If you are more advanced you might not get as much out of it. It may be a tad bit of a disappointment if you are definitely advanced/more creative than somebody like me LOL But it would definitely make a good gift for somebody who has shown interest in lettering/calligraphy. I was going to buy the e-book version but for something like this I really like having the book right there in front of me. Plus there is practice space in the book. After I’ve used up that space I go onto my grid styled black-and-white hard covered notebook. I like keeping everything in one notebook so as to watch my progression or regression if I wait too long in between practice sessions. So practice practice practice that’s the only way to make it to Carnegie Hall and that’s the only way to become a lettering guru!This company also puts out other books that are quite awesome

Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering by Paper Peony Press is I just got this book today and I’ve been having so much fun!! I think this book is an amazing deal for just $7! I haven’t gotten my brush pens yet so I’ve just been doing simple hand lettering with a mechanical pencil. Still super fun! Hat I recommend, and I didn’t do sadly, is to take pictures of the pages before you start writing in them or scan them so you can print them out and use them again if you want. Personally I forgot to do this but I don’t think it’s 100% necessary anyway because you can always get an extra notebook and trace! Anyway, am loving this book so far!

Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering by Paper Peony Press is This book...I mean, you look at it and think, how hard can this be to convey? But it does not give you any more instruction than "aren't these cool? Let's try some!" leaving out a lot of important troubleshooting steps. In reality, hand lettering is really difficult at first, and it's better to start with basic shapes (instead of jumping right into letters, which this book does) and practice those umpteen times. Like others have said, you don't get more than a couple lines for each letter. After fiddling with this book, I went to YouTube and found some comprehensive tutorials and free, printable worksheets with lots of good advice, especially for navigating tricky shapes. Don't buy this if you're a beginner, unless you want to risk being discouraged and giving up.

Lettering and Modern Calligraphy: A Beginner's Guide: Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering by Paper Peony Press is Seems like it would be a cool book but the one I got seems to be missing pages. It doesn't have the 5 different alphabet styles except for what seems like the last page of one, with just Y and Z. The whole first 3/4 of the book is empty practice pages and the last 1/4 is actual information/tips, examples, projects. I've included a video to show what I mean.I'd happily leave a higher rating if I could be sent a proper copy.
