Are you enjoying the spooky words theme this month? Remember that tracing and practicing any words will help you improve your skills, especially with connections. Beginners most often struggle with joining letters and strokes together to write words after they learn the lowercase alphabet.
Today’s word is ‘spiders’ and I drew 7 hanging spiders to add a cuteness factor.
I wrote the word with my Kelly Creates Midnight Dream pen. Then I drew the hanging spiders with my Kelly Creates 03 Black Fineliner.
If you’re new here, then welcome and thanks for dropping by! You can find out more about how to start learning calligraphy as a beginner by clicking HERE. It’s a good idea to learn your ABCs before you start writing words. Jumpstart your skills with my Kelly Creates Beginner Kit, which has everything you need to learn to write with a brush pen…and it’s suitable for all ages!
You can use both large and small brush pens to trace the words, such as the Kelly Creates Dream pens and the Multicolor Small Brush pens. Another good choice for pens is the Deluxe Lettering kit and the 3-pack of Black brush pens too.
All are available in my online store at www.KellyCreatesStore.com (we ship international) or you can click HERE to see where to purchase my products at retailers around the world.
You also need to print on smooth paper like the Kelly Creates Blank paper pad (which you can put through your printer) or HP LaserJet Premium 32 lbs. or use tracing paper(Canson Marker paper) on top of regular copy paper, which is too rough for brush tips and will damage them.
After you finish tracing, practice your freehand skills on my super smooth Kelly Creates Paper Pads. I highly recommend using the Dotted or Lined pads (never practice on blank paper).
