Hello so theres a lot more people following this blog since yesterday, and a lot of questions I’ve been asked so I’m going to try and answer some of them here.
Tools
The go to tools are in the picture above and labeled if you enlarge. I use windsor and newton ink. I don’t use any special paper out of cost.
About Me
I’m Sam a graphic designer starting my final year at uni in September, I’ve just finished a year of doing placements at design agencies in London.
I’ve been doing calligraphy since march so I’m still very much learning, I started out of a love for typography and lettering. I’ve never had a class I started out drawing blackletter capitals and trying to make up my own and have just been trying out new stuff since then. For people wanting to start calligraphy would find a pen and alphabet you like and just start practicing.
Requests
I’m no longer taking requests as I get to many of them, but every now and again I’ll make a post where the fist 20 or 30 to reply will get 3 words written out.
Finally Thank you to all the people who have said kind words about my work I truly appreciate it and I’ll get around to answering all the asks but theres loads at the minute.
