Go Forth, Appreciate Calligraphy, and Write Pretty!

Dont be scared of messing up. Failing is growing!

A good way to start is to practice upstrokes and downstrokes. When you write, your upstrokes are always thin and your downstrokes are always thicker. With different styles you write with, you may change up how thick you want to make your downstrokes. Try the practice above on a piece of paper and then use that technique to do your cursive alphabet. Don't worry about perfection, it takes a lot of practice to get used to thickness.

Perfecting calligraphy and developing your own style takes practice! Keep practicing and don't give up.
