Introductions / Hi, I'm Cyva

« on: December 01, 2014, 12:38:39 AM »

Hello everyone. My name is Cyva. I'm so glad I found this forum! I fell in love with calligraphy when I was in high school but it was only now when I'm 25 that I started learning it. It has been a week since I bought my pointed nibs and holders. I just can't stop watching videos, reading books, and doing the basic forms. I can't seem to decide tho which one to focus on more - copperplate or modern calligraphy. I am excited to check the tutorials in this forum!
