Different brush pen styles please.
Chris:
Hi!
I purchased a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and a Pentel Color brush:
I was wondering where to get different examples of different styles of brush pen calligraphy with full character sets (including upper case and lower case).
I'm interested in a lot of different styles, particularly this one: https://www.behance.net/gallery/10268893/Brush-Pen-Names
Here are a few more:

Thank you very much! :D

I believe that the artists didn't just copy them from a given set, but that they invented them. ::)
Chris:
But there must be standards to start with, no?
For example, in pointed pen, there is Engrosser's script, Spencerian script, etc., and in broad pen, there is Textura, Fraktur, etc.
In brush pen, I think there is Casual script, but either than that, I'm lost!
Thanks again!
Heebs:
I've spent a lot of time looking at brush styles and Natascha is pretty much right. Unlike Blackletter/Pointed Pen, most of brush lettering examples you've posted are quite contemporary and more of a personal style. Most of them are different because they are expressive of the artist creating them but there are some, somewhat, standard alphabets that sign painters use I believe. Search images for "Sign painter alphabets" or "sign painter fonts" and you should see quite a few font examples, although I doubt you'll see many (if any) that are as expressive as these.
Linda Y.:
Agreed with Natascha and Heebs - brush lettering is really personal and every artist has a different style.
This may be a bit "controversial" but you can look up brush script typefaces that are done well, and try to study them as exemplars first before venturing out to develop your own style.
