Calligraphy Basic Strokes worksheet - NEW
$5.00

If you are a student of modern calligraphy and you are looking for a simple worksheet to practice your basic strokes, shapes, or drills, I got you covered. This simple, but effective, worksheet will teach you the eight basic shapes that form most letters of the modern calligraphy alphabet.

I recommend printing this on a smooth paper, or use smooth tracing paper over the worksheet to practice. This will extend the life of your calligraphy brush pens.

Speaking of pens… this worksheet pairs well with a small-tip brush pen such as Tombow Fude or Pentel Touch Sign pen.

I like to practice with a clipboard while watching movies!
