    I've been trying to learn brush lettering for awhile but have been pretty overwhelmed. I came across your channel and I just have to tell you, you're a really good teacher. You have a very methodical approach and you break things down in a very clear, organized fashion. Even though you are selling additional products you give enough information that I can proceed even without the help of the workbooks (although I can see how they would be immensely helpful and I intend to try a couple.) Thank you so much for making this content available.

    I 1000% agree!! No one I watch has ever used the grid paper and broken down which letter to bounce and how high!! I'm so freaking happy. I'm 3 months new to this hobby and I love it but.... I've been stuck! Bummed out and thinking I just might not be cut out for this. That all changed after watching this simple yet perfect video! Oh I just over the moon happy! I buying myself a reward. Tombow Dual tip brush pens. I didn't want to spend any more money if I wasn't going to commit to this. I'M COMMITTED!!WHOOOOO-HHOOOO🎉🎊✨️🎈🧨

    Hi Becca. It's about 24 hours since you changed my lettering life by showing m me EXACTLY how to figure out how to "bounce" my letters. I cannot stop. I bought the graph paper you suggested. It was a Lil expensive but worth it. Noone taught how and where to "bounce". I struggled with, "should I drop down here? How many letters go between each bounce?".. and so on. You showed me exactly how to figure that out using the graph paper and by circling the right spots to descend and ascend. And I've not stopped lettering all day. It's so fun. I was suffering from, "failure to Bounce". You've cured me. Thank you. I've binge watched most of your videos and is been a blast. I'll attend one of your classes here in there very near future. Thanks again girl. You're my new hero!

    Your videos have taught me more in a few hours than the past few montths I've been trying to master Bouncy letters. Nobody has circled the "end strokes" like you have. I didn't even know that term. Thank you so much! I notice you write at a slight slant. I haven't done that until now and it's improving my letters! I don't feel like such a failure right now. 😊thank you so much. I shall be binge watching all of your tutorials I promise!❤

I think a LOT of people stop using lines when they become just a little comfortable with hand lettering. And THAT'S when their work becomes illegible. I see so many of those trendy "wall art" canvases with sayings that cannot be read. Anyway, thank you for your channel. I was thinking the other day, "i want to learn calligraphy" ... and the teacher appeared. New sub. Oh! And looking forward to the course in January!

In calligraphy I found, except the basic strokes, there are no rules but there are rules, so when I got to the last two books, I was a bit lost, and that's why it is taking me so long. Thanks anyway, I enjoy all your videos and your teaching. You are a great teacher.

    Hi Becca! In your description box, there is a link to "Get my free 50-page guide of ALL the supplies I use in my calligraphy work:" but the link took me to an "Oops!" page. Just wanted to let you know so that you can fix it. Thanks!! :D I'm all ready to start Bouncing and Stylizing on Monday as a retake of your Small Pens workbook series, this time with a pointed pen rather than brush pens. I'm having even more fun with pointed pen calligraphy, but I am really glad that I learned the techniques of small brush pens first so that I can focus more on learning the finer "points" of pointed pen calligraphy (there's a Dad-joke pun for you!) without trying to learn the Basic Strokes, the Minuscules, the Majuscules, etc., at the same time. It's all working out wonderfully well -- thank you!!! Writing with you, Susanne :D
