write a message in calligraphy. I have used black ink cartridges and a wide
sized calligraphy pen. The broad nib
size used was a 4B or 2.8, and the pen was a Manuscript calligraphy pen
I introduced some simple swirly patterns to enhance the
Gothic style calligraphy work.
It is very easy and simple to make you work look impressive
and it just takes a little practice. You
can create a template to use again and again, and it takes little time to
design one.
You start by choosing which calligraphy writing you would
like to use. Then you map out your work
carefully, using a pencil and ruler.
Once you have planned your work, you can start practising with your
chosen style. You can use some subtle
color to offset the letters, introducing gold or pastel colors to enrich your
work.
