If you are a beginner or just want to add beautiful writing to your art, journal, or other projects, I highly recommend picking up this workbook. There are 20 different traceable alphabets so you can practice to your heart's content. I only wish it was a spiral bound book so it could be kept totally flat while using. There are also 5 beginner projects to choose from. I really loved the beautiful alphabets and have already added some to my art journaling.
The author focuses on small brush tip, mono line lettering, and faux calligraphy. This book has some cute alphabets but many of them look rather similar. Some of them, when the letters are connected, were unreadable. There’s not much detail or instruction in this book. I enjoyed the photographs and the tips the author suggested but honestly there are better books out there.
