About This Class

Arabic Calligraphy is a very elegant art, learning it will be a great addition for you as an artist or an illustrator because I believe that creativity is partially about variety. So learning the calligraphy of a different culture will spark your mind with great new ideas that you can add to your art, and it will catch the attention of your followers. Drawing calligraphy will also help you be more patient and disciplined in both your art and your life.

This class is for beginners who are interested in lettering and calligraphy illustrations where we are going to learn together how to connect all the Arabic letters in one word and write many many words along the class.

Requirements :

1. Being able to write down all Arabic letters every letter by its own. ( If you can’t, then I highly recommend to watch our first class about the basics where I filmed how to write the Arabic alphabets  and gave few tips and tricks including the dots technique )

2. To print out the 2 pages that show all the different shapes of each letter, you can find them in the resource section and hang them on top of your desk.

3. Normal pen or Calligraphy pen it is up to you, but we recommend Calligraphy pen 3.0 because it is the one we are going to use in the next classes so you won’t get confused when you reach there.

We all hope that you enjoy the class and makes a difference in your calligraphy learning journey and don’t miss the upcoming class of the Arabic Calligraphy series.
Cheers
