Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering Practice Pad

I like it very much because it is perfect for practicing my calligraphy.

The paper was nice and thick enough it didn’t bleed. Would buy again

I’m just beginning to learn calligraphy. I’m really happy I bought the practice pad to go with the workbook I bought. The workbook paper is too thin so it bleeds through to the other side which obscure the lesson on that side! :(Ironically this paper is thick enough to use both sides but it is blank on the back side so I practice without guidelines to help. However, just having a nice paper to practice makes me feel so much more confident. I have a long way to go before I’ll be proficient but it’s nice to have a practice pad that let’s me feel like I might just master this new skill!

When purchasing this product I thought it would have more pages dedicated to learning calligraphy. I figured it would be like the learning books from elementary school when we learned cursive. You know lined pages where you can trace the the letters and then free hand, while it does have lined pages it lacks the learning portion. The way we learn cursive is by muscle memory, it’s the same principle here. You need to be able to trace the letters and get a since if the curvature to memorize it. Sadly, that’s not there. However, it does include a page with the calligraphy alphabet and lots of pages to practice. It’s not horrible but I feel like it needs that little extra.

This book was so helpful for me when I was starting to learn hand lettering. I recommend it all the time!

These are better than I thought they would be easy to put on large print to help you find the story faster

Really nice paper.

I feel mislead. I’m fairly new to the calligraphy world, but one thing I kept hearing was to buy good paper so you don’t ruin your pens. Makes sense. Well, the author of this corresponding book mentions getting good paper to practice with so I assumed that the paper that is sold to go with her book would be of good quality…. NOPE! It’s super toothy and frayed my brand new tombow fudenosuke after using just a couple pages of it. And I can’t even return it because I wrote on some of it…. UGH! This really shouldn’t be advertised as calligraphy/hand lettering paper. It’s basically cheap cardstock with guidelines on it. Stick with Rhodia paper or something like that if you don’t want to ruin your expensive pens.
