Instant Download - Beginner's brush pen calligraphy workbook .pdf

So you want to learn the fundamentals of brush pen lettering? You've come to the right place.

I've got for you a digital workbook (.pdf) that you can download, print, and get started straight away. I've poured everything I know into it, so it's more than just alphabet practice sheets. I take you through, step-by-step, covering:The topics covered in the workbook cover the fundamentals of brush pen lettering, and include:

• Pen grip & hand movement
• Basic strokes
• Forming letters (lowercase & uppercase)
• Uppercase alphabet variations
• Forming words & sentences
• Tricky letter combinations 
• Common mistakes
• Basic design & styling ideas

... and more!

You'll need to get yourself a small-tipped brush pen, such as the Tombow fudenosuke - soft (or hard tip) brush pen.

If you’re thinking, ‘I’m not sure if I’ll have time to practise’, think again. Our students see amazing improvement after completing our workbook! Check out the gallery to see some before and after's.

Now is the right time to start. Let me tell you something. Learning lettering changed my life, and it can change yours too. The first thing you notice is how relaxing it is. All the stress and anxiety from your daily life seems to melt away whilst you’re focusing on the ebb and flow of your lettering.

As you improve, your self-confidence grows, and your persistence starts paying off. You write notes and cards to your loved ones and they are amazed at what you can do.

What started out as a hobby could turn into something more (if you want it to). You could keep pursuing it down the business path, first as a side-gig, then full-time. I share a lot about my career-change and the transition from my office job to my creative start-up in my blog.

This could be your story too! Don’t just imagine it, start doing it.
