4 reasons you should learn Faux calligraphy
The art of writing beautifully with a special pen or brush is calligraphy. It refers to a particular formal style of handwriting.
Calligraphy can indeed be intimidating, and it takes a lot of patience, but learning it takes you a long way in terms of creativity! If you’re looking for an opportunity for creative growth, this is something you should know.
There are several types of calligraphy, one out of which is “faux calligraphy”.
“Faux” means fake or imitating, which indicates Faux calligraphy as fake calligraphy. With any standard writing tool or instruments like chalk, pencil, marker, or pen, one can create it.
Faux Calligraphy provides you with the pointed brush pen or pen feature by emulating the shapes of letters and their contrast.
Term to learn* — Downstroke. A downstroke in calligraphy means when you move your pen downward. You decide the downstrokes by keeping attention to how you move the pen as you are making the letters. Each time you move the pen downward, that’s a downstroke.
Now, you would ask why you should learn it!? Here are some reasons why one should understand it, especially when offered for free by an expert.
Let’s look at some reasons why!
- It makes learning modern calligraphy easier: Once you have a hold of faux calligraphy, you can quickly grasp the techniques of contemporary calligraphy.
- Handmade gifting options: Gifting someone personalized handcrafted letters shows your love and affection towards them. Why spend so much on artificial cards when you can design better ones on your own? Faux calligraphy helps you ace letters and cards!
- Your original handwriting improves: Practicing faux calligraphy improves your writing gradually and makes it more transparent and soothing.
- Generates a new business/freelance opportunity: Once you ace it, you can start your freelance services of personalized cards and letters!
I am pretty sure these reasons are more than enough to make you realize why you should at least try once to learn it.
