In this video, I wanted to talk about something I have been working on for a long time, which is my experimental calligraphy sketchbook.
The sketchbook is not yet complete, but I wanted to share my progress with anyone who might be interested in creating something similar. I am a big fan of ink and calligraphy, which I only started learning two years ago.
It was a challenge to be patient with it, as calligraphy requires a delicate touch and slow strokes. However, I persevered and learned the gothic letters and many other fun styles. The idea behind the sketchbook is for me to experiment with ink and calligraphy styles and fonts. It's a fun medium to work with, and I love the different shades and degrees of black that I can achieve with just a little bit of water. I would recommend anyone to learn calligraphy, although finding the right tools can be tricky.
Some of my calligraphy works were featured in a poster book that I published at school called "Red Spider Lilies."

It was enjoyable to create, and I'm looking forward to creating more pages for the sketchbook.
I would love to do a calligraphy tutorial one day, but I am not that confident with my skills yet. It takes years of practice to become a master calligrapher, and even after two years, I am still not perfect. Nevertheless, I am excited about the progress of my sketchbook, and I promise to show the whole thing once it is complete.
