FAQs
What is the difference between modern calligraphy and brush lettering?
Modern calligraphy is the broader art of drawing letters rather than just writing them, often using various tools. Brush lettering is a specific sub-style of modern calligraphy that utilizes a brush pen to create distinct thick and thin lines based on the pressure applied to the nib.
What are the 7 basic strokes of calligraphy?
The fundamental strokes typically include the upstroke, downstroke, underturn, overturn, compound curve, oval, and ascender/descender loops. Mastering these building blocks allows you to construct every letter in the alphabet consistently.
Can I make money with hand lettering?
Yes, once you master your craft, you can monetize your skills by creating custom invitations, signage for events, personalized gifts, or selling digital lettering assets and prints online.
