learn calligraphy alphabet


okay, i put this under freehand for indieart, but it's not really. this is a new calligraphy font i'm putting together called "bustardo". it's largely based on the batarde font (popular in 13-15th century france). there are some variations between the alphabets shown. please let me know which letters you like and dislike!

i like the third style all except the z. i liked the z from the first alphabet, but really this is a cool hand. i'd like to practice with it because it looks so fun. very inspiring

If these factors do not seem feasible calligraphy learning books are available in abundance. There are many interesting and informative books that provide guidelines and practice sheets that would help you practice the right spacing when forming the angles of the different letters you are designing. Books giving instructions on how to set up the work table as well as how to form letters and use the ink and pens are affordable and freely available.

Though a vast number of styles are available in Western as well as East Asian calligraphy writing, it is advisable to start practicing one style at a time until you master it and then start learning the next style. This will give you a better idea and understanding of what you intend to do with the calligraphy learning books. You may want to try the style of your ancestral country first due to sentimental reasons, or sometimes individuals prefer to get something contemporary and pick something that is easy to understand and master.
