how the bloody hell did you get this skill? i think its natural talent, but i want to be able to do this too??? #i love talented & passionate people
Thank you very much for the compliments.
As for where I got this skill: practice! You may start out as crappy but with a bit of time it will become much more natural. For me it helped that I’ve been obsessed with writing for more than a decade before starting to learn calligraphy and lettering so I was already kind of used to pay lots of attention on how I wrote and I had already a higher than average control and understanding of movements and strokes but don’t let that discourage you.
I don’t really believe in natural talents, inclinations perhaps, but talent is obtained much more through dedication and practice than from something innate, I’m sure @theshitpostcalligrapher will back me up on this.
so fucking truuuuu bestie- i’ve got over 10k cards under my belt and there’s still improvement to be made every single day, ya gotta just keep burning through the paper! for me it’s the fact that i discovered calligraphy tended to be one of the rare forms of art i can do for prolonged periods of time without burnout or psyching myself out for something being ‘not good enough’ so it was a workaround on the obstacles i’ve got in my various other mediums
also idk if it’ll help folks in a “wow if she sucked at this THAT bad a handful of years ago i can definitely do this” kinda way but uh. this is the-
these are calligraphy i ever posted (not the first i’ve ever written, just thought it was actually good enough to be posted):
