How To Faux Script Calligraphy!

How to Fake Script Calligraphy!
Scrolly, scripty, flowy, gorgeous penmanship is all the rage correct now!
Calligraphy is beautiful, but requires around supplies...
hmm, I gauge non the stuff crayons...
My mom taught me Italic Calligraphy when I was inward sixth grade.
I also learned Black missive of the alphabet too Uncial.

Here's the matter though...
The ink is difficult to regulate...starts to bleed...and is hence difficult to railroad train whatsoever mistakes!
Which is why #1: it's a dying art
#2: non many people get got fourth dimension for that.

I prefer a faux approach.
I fifty-fifty used a faux approach on my marriage ceremony announcements. Whatever works!
I honey to purpose a laid of Micron pens.
I "borrowed" these from my immature adult woman who got them for her birthday.

These live great!

Let's faux Calligraphy!

I started off past times writing out the word
Congratulations
inward a exaggerated drawn out cursive...remember cursive?
This is where tertiary bird pays off.
(doesn't expect hence great, right?)

Then get got a smaller sized tip pen too depict lines
to add together thick too sparse brush strokes. This is the "fake" part.
I tin fifty-fifty "fix" work areas...like add together a loop to the "r"...
too suit the weird "u".
Essentially giving you lot tons of leeway!

Then acquire a bigger size tip too gain amount inward the lines.
Looks nifty right?!

Here's around tips I had to forcefulness on myself:

Keep letters connected...like cursive...it's hence difficult for me!
Also...no bottom or transcend lines...it looks hence much cooler when the letters ascent upwardly too down...
Next, add together around curls, too over-exaggerated lines!
Have a reference near.
I printed out this script font of all the letters:

Then you lot tin expect at it piece you lot work.
Here's how I did it alongside Sharpie Markers!
Pencil first.

Then I used a large sharpie too traced my letters...
Sharpie's tend to bleed a fiddling on the newspaper too...depending
on how porous the newspaper fibers are.

Used an eraser to withdraw the pencil lines...

Next, pick upwardly a smaller Sharpie...and
depict on the thicker lines!

Fill them in...and voila!
It looks hence much better!

You tin also purpose paint!
First pencil, too hence Sharpie the ikon you lot want.

Place your newspaper over the top...see how I tin notwithstanding come across the lines from the marker?

Then purpose a paintbrush too around metallic element pigment too pigment the calligraphy!
The apartment paintbrush naturally mimics the blunt mouth of a calligraphy pen.

Perfect for Thanksgiving!

My favorite alternative is a Gold Pilot Marker!
You tin write on whatsoever color of newspaper too it pops correct off the page!
I am practicing on my mini envelopes!

Create custom envelopes for Christmas cards, marriage ceremony invitations,
or but to country hi!
People honey a handwritten card...it shows that
you lot took fourth dimension out of your day!
