Brush pen calligraphy is a lettering trend that is simultaneously fun to create and a joy to observe! You may be asking what a brush pen is. A brush pen is essentially a marker with a very flexible, tapered tip. That tapered tip allows you to write calligraphy that features sumptuously thick downstrokes and delicate upstrokes.
It’s the initial rendezvous with brush pen calligraphy that can be frustrating! The first hurdle is the specialized grip that brush pens require. Once you’ve mastered that grip, you still need to figure out how to exert and let up on pressure, and you have to train yourself to regularly pick up your pen as you write. It just takes a little practice and you get the hang of it.
