If you want to start Calligraphy because you want to write beautifully, become an artist or just because you think it’ll be fun than you have come to the right place.

Calligraphy is basically art for writing beautifully. It can be done with Brush Pens, Ink Pens, Glass Pens, Watercolors and even with a simple pen or pencil. There are different ways in which you can write depending on your choice of writing tool. Today we’ll discuss the basics of calligraphy when you’re using brush pens. If you don’t have a brush pen you can use a simple pen or pencil. Even using pencil you can create beautiful calligraphy you just have to keep in mind the amount of pressure you apply while using it.

Before we get into it you first have to understand some basic strokes in calligraphy. I have used Tombow fudenosuke hard-tip brush pen because hard-tip pens provide better control over the movements as a beginner but you can do the same strokes with a pencil too if you don’t have a brush pen. You just have to understand when to apply more pressure and when not to as well as how to connect different strokes. I have shown the movements using arrows for better understanding.
