Why Should You Take This Class?

If I had to give you only one reason to join this class, it’d be—Faux Calligraphy is the first step on the roadmap to learning calligraphy and hand lettering.

Why?

Because it helps you develop a deep understanding of the structure of letters. Once you learn how to draw letters with a pencil, you’ll be able to draw them with any tool you pick.

Yes, that’s true.

In fact, this is how I got started in calligraphy when I was 15 years old.

And today, I’ve made a career out of it which also helped me quit my full-time job and pursue my passion.

So, yes, this method works and is tried and tested.

Apart from this, you don’t have to break the bank to do Faux Calligraphy. All you need is a regular pen and pencil.

Certainly, it’ll help you get started in calligraphy and hand lettering without the hassle of figuring out the right pens. I’m a calligraphy teacher and I know that’s such a pain.

Moreover, if you learn Faux Calligraphy in this class, you can use it to write on surfaces like walls, glass, acrylic sheets, chalkboards, ceramics, and wood. Just imagine how many options it’ll open up for you!

Either you can sell these artworks online or let it be a creative outlet to your thoughts—the choice is completely yours.

One last thing. If you’re looking to relax and spend time off-screen, then faux calligraphy is the best art therapy that you can invest your time in.

Having said that, I totally understand if you don’t have a reason to join this class yet. But, if you decide to join, no matter what, I promise it’ll be worth it.

So, see you soon in the class.

Who Is This Class For?

This class is for absolute beginners.

You don’t need any prior skills to join this class. Not even basic handwriting skills.

Yes, I’m not kidding. If you think that your handwriting is bad and calligraphy is not meant for you, then I totally recommend that you join this class.

It’ll help you break that myth and shut that negative self-talk. FINALLY!

As long as you can use a pencil and pen to write or scribble anything, you’ll enjoy this class. I promise. All you need is the willingness to learn, take risks and have a butt-load of fun.
