If these factors do not seem feasible calligraphy learning books are available in abundance. There are many interesting and informative books that provide guidelines and practice sheets that would help you practice the right spacing when forming the angles of the different letters you are designing. Books giving instructions on how to set up the work table as well as how to form letters and use the ink and pens are affordable and freely available.

Though a vast number of styles are available in Western as well as East Asian calligraphy writing, it is advisable to start practicing one style at a time until you master it and then start learning the next style. This will give you a better idea and understanding of what you intend to do with the calligraphy learning books. You may want to try the style of your ancestral country first due to sentimental reasons, or sometimes individuals prefer to get something contemporary and pick something that is easy to understand and master.

If you are preparing to learn Western calligraphy art you will require a calligraphy learning starter set consisting of a pen, ink and a few nibs. This will be sufficient to practice Western calligraphy.

Calligraphy learning lessons are offered online if you are interested in taking online courses. At the same time many fine arts departments in community colleges offer lessons in calligraphy. Private tutors or art teachers in schools will also give calligraphy lessons according to your choice. Many non-profitable organizations will be of great help in giving calligraphy lessons.

medieval calligraphy alphabet




Gothic was a popular medieval calligraphy.  It was also called Blackletter for the dark appearance of a written page.  The letters are square in shape, and are written at a 45 degree angle. 



Click on the photo for a larger image of the Gothic alphabet.  Try copying the simpler lowercase letters, then move on to the more elaborate uppercase letters.  Make sure to use a 45 degree pen angle.



Try writing your name, squeezing the letters close enough together that you could fit just one pen stroke between them.  This technique was used by monks copying manuscripts, in order to save parchment.
