Calligradoodles_0005 How to write an Italic alphabet with double pencil.


At long last the video to complement Richard’s worksheets.

Over all, I am quite pleased, apart from one or two wayward ascenders. Bear in mind that the x height here is one and a half inches ie five nib widths.

I hope you enjoy it and that it is some help.

Keep watching this space.
