Mastering Modern Calligraphy

$26.99

A comprehensive how-to guide for taking your calligraphy to the next level

My third book, Mastering Modern Calligraphy: Beyond the Basics: 2,700+ Pointed Pen Exemplars and Exercises for Developing Your Style emphasizes experimentation and fun, rather than rigid uniformity. It will not only help you master tricks of the trade, but develop your very own modern calligraphy style, too.

➺ For pointed pen and digital calligraphers

Picking up where my first book, Modern Calligraphy, leaves off, this is the perfect companion for pointed pen and digital calligraphers alike. It has more than 2,700 letterforms and ligatures, stroke drills, warm-up exercises, flourishes, simple words and phrases, and an entire appendix of grids sheets!

➺ 120+ pages of letter exemplars, exercise, and guides

From traditional to modern styles, Mastering Modern Calligraphy offers 57 pages of letter and ligature variations, 68 pages of complete modern alphabets, and a whole chapter about letter connections and stylistic exploration.
