Calligraphy and Monograms

Recently I've gotten into doing my own calligraphy. It's a lot easier to do than you may think. The secret? Bold the downstroaks. Yes, it is that simple. Every time your pen goes down, that line should be bolded. I learned this from one of my best friends whose blog you can find here.

Here is some of the work I have done:

When writing quotes, you can either write it all in calligraphy or use a different font for the words that don't mean as much. I chose to do the latter in both.

Just recently I've tried a few monograms with this method as well.

These monograms and sayings were just some sketches in a notebook, but keep a lookout for some of them in my future projects!

Thanks for tuning in!
