Modern Calligraphy

I have such love for this book because it was my first ever lettering book. Even though it says intermediate, you could definitely start it as a beginner that has many different fonts and it’s easy to follow. I like to use Tombow fuedenusuke brush tips and micron fine liners. It has some cute project ideas in the back as well. The pages are thick and white.

Very pretty book started it recently. I have some lettering experience it I consider myself still a beginner. I hope this book can elevate my lettering since I’ve been a little stuck at the same level for a while. The book is very well constructed and really pretty , the pages are thick enough for ink not to bleed through too much. I’m using the pentel touch on them and there is almost no ghosting.It has many alphabets to try and learn and all of them a very pretty!!! I’m thinking to get the 101 as well

I absolutely love this book! I skipped over the first of the two books, Hand lettering 101 and jumped right in to 201. This is the first hand lettering book I’ve ever bought and I am new to the art. I found myself getting lost in it, practicing for hours. I find it very relaxing and fun. The book includes Many different styles and fonts with room to practice. There are several project ideas and tips for beginners. The book is very well made. Heavy duty, spiral bound with pages that do not bleed through. My only complaint is I wish there was more! I want to keep writing. So maybe print out some of the sheets to practice again and again. Very thoughtfully written by an author who has a real love for hand lettering. Her enthusiasm shines through and she writes as though she’s sharing her best advise and tips to a friend. I would definitely recommend this book for beginners or the more experienced. I love it so much that I plan to purchase Hand lettering 101! You can use any pen, marker, or pencil but I used Tombow fudenosuke brush pens and Sakura micron 05 pens and they worked very well. A great book at a great price!!

The best hand lettering book out there. And I have practically tried them all. I picked up hand lettering so easy. Within a few days I ordered this as I blew right through 101!

Sarah put together a geat book! Helpful tips galor and plenty of practice space. I highly recommend this treasure.

This book has been my favorite thing since starting hand lettering! I don’t know what I would do without it! I use this book on all my travels. Her fonts are simply beautiful and the guides make it so easy to learn! I also have 101 which I love, but do NOT hesistate to get this one too because this one is my favorite. ❤️

I ordered Handlettering 201 about a month ago off of her website and I loved it so much that I wanted to come to amazon and make sure everyone knows what a valuable asset this book is to anyone who is serious about wanting to learn modern calligraphy! This book is full of different calligraphy styles and places to practice! The book itself is perfectly sized to use tracing paper to practice as well. Everything about this book has been extremely helpful and wonderful to my growth in my calligraphy skills. Sarah's book has been positively wonderful. I've greatly enjoyed practicing on my tracing paper!

Now, I don't even remember how I discovered Chalkfulloflove... but Sarah is super endearing, I follow her on instagram and own a Stars Hollow Fall Festival sweatshirt and now I bought this book... so I'm in deep guys. I love how many different lettering styles there are in the book and the design and project sections are nice additions. I have done some self taught brush lettering (also with some practice sheets I found online) previously and I learned traditional kind of unadorned calligraphy when I was in elementary school so I have some basic skills (emphasis on basic lol.) But because of this previous experience I skipped 101 and went straight to 201, just FYI.The book came wrapped in plastic and was pristine, the paper felt really nice and on the whole it looked lovely. There are plenty of places to practice lettering directly in the book (although I personally prefer to use scratch paper) and multiple different styles to practice. I have started tracing the letters to practice first so that I get a feel for the strokes. I attached a photo of my lettering from holiday cards this year from before I got the book. I'll try to remember to update after I get to practice the different styles (I've only practiced the hillary style style so far which I included a picture of :) She has included some ideas for spiffing up your envelopes, making greeting cards, place cards, and gift-y things also! But really, the nice thing about this skill is pretty writing improves all the things. So yeah! I would recommend the book for anyone wishing to expand their repertoire, mix up their current lettering situation, and also get some cute little ideas for using their newfound skills as well :)

Okay, so I feel like Sarah (the author) and I are besties and this book spoke to that even more! Sarah did an amazing job adding fonts, styles, and capitals!!! I love that her voice shines through each page as she gives suggestions. Faux calligraphy plus traditional pointed calligraphy options. Print options galore. I love the practice words, design section, and projects! This is a MUST BUY!

I absolutely LOVE this book! I have previously purchased hand lettering 101 and enjoy both, but this version has a lot more to offer! Sarah provides a few different alphabet styles, as well as practice pages and project ideas! I recommend this book to anyone who’s looking to learn lettering!

The media could not be loaded.

For those who love improving their handwriting like I do, this book is for you. It has many different lettering styles and phrases to practice. The pages are thick, and the designs are fun. I highly recommend it.

Nice book!

Buy tracing paper at the same time

My daughter was interested in this style of writing she loves it she's 11

This was on my granddaughter’s Christmas list. She was very pleased with it.

I got this book to make my own writing more nteresting and found that my 9 year old granddaughter is fabulous at this too. Now we are digging into calligraphy.

I liked this spiral bound book, easy to use and well formatted.

I already got the first one and this one is just as amazing!!

I love this book for learning how to hand letter! it is literally the perfect book to learn from!

I love the product, but the spiral bound design makes it difficult to write the last few letters closest to the end of the line. It gets in the way of your hand. I also find that it’s hard to write on the pages with so much space between the table and the top of the book due to the thickness of the book. I found that making sure my hand is closest to the table and book makes the pen not skip. I just turn all unused pages to one side. Smoother paper would help too. I love Sarah and she deserves 5 stars, but I wanted to make sure this was addressed.

Simple, easy to follow book that has plenty of room for practice! Highly recommend.

working knowledge of basic strokes is necessary so that you know how to break down each of the letters.

This was a gift and she really liked it. We didn’t even get to finish roommate Christmas before she was practicing writing.

Great description and fast shipping

gf liked

I decided to try a new hobby and this book was perfect for learning! it has many different styles to learn
