Hello from PH
« on: September 17, 2015, 09:15:31 PM »
Good Day!

I am Rom from Manila, PH. It was last year when I first learned about hand lettering but later on my attention was drifted to calligraphy. It was also last year when I tried to sign up for this forum but I always answer the verification question wrong until I got tired  ;D but hey, finally I was able to sign up!  :) :)

I already took calligraphy for beginners workshop (Copperplate using dip pen, also last year) but it is only this month that everything sinks in -- from why people usually slant their paper to get the right angle to putting pressure on downstrokes. I am currently exploring Copperplate and modern style calligraphy with brush pens since I am still intimidated with pointed pens. But I am hopeful that soon I'll be able to pick up my pointed pen again as I learn from you guys through this forum.

Thanks for reading and hello again to everyone  :)

Hi Rom! Welcome to the forum! If you are learning these hands with a brush pen, I think you will find transitioning to pointed pen will be not as bad as you think. The most important thing is to just have fun with it. As with everything, learning things are hard before they become easy. :)
