Pen Lettering,
By "smhassoc" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pen Lettering (Paperback)
This small, inexpensive, but powerful book is an excellent tool for beginners. It's a must-have for the serious student of calligraphy who really wants to learn how to execute good letter forms while doing the basic lettering styles of Italic and Foundational. Good things really do come in small packages!

Not at all what I expected,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pen Lettering (Paperback)
I was new to calligraphy when I got this book, and I was expecting a book that had many different styles portrayed, with an explanation of what each could be used for, and instructions with exercises on how to form the letters and practice the art of calligraphy. The book contains several common fonts (not many by any stretch), but only includes details about how to form the letters for some of those fonts. It does not provide exercise sheets, nor give specific exercises for the fonts. I got the book because I'd decided to start my venture into calligraphy by learning the italic font. Well, she does not give adequate instructions for that font. I could get better information on the formation of italic letters on YouTube. (And I did!) This book has sat unused on my shelf ever since. I'm honestly surprised to see two, five-star reviews here. I found Learn Calligraphy: The Complete Book of Lettering and Design to be far superior, and used that book instead.

This review is from: Pen Lettering (Paperback)
This is a great basic instruction book for calligraphy. Good foundation and history, as well as shows how to do the pen strokes. I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning calligraphy.
