LOLearning modern calligraphy on a budget? This is one of my favorite beginner-friendly options.
If you’re just starting out with modern calligraphy and don’t want to splurge on supplies right away, Crayola markers are a great way to begin. They’re known for being an easy-to-find, affordable option, and something that many aspiring letterers already have at home.
Crayola Broad Line and Super Tip markers both work well for practicing everything from the basic strokes to full words and phrases. They’re firmer than most brush pens, which makes them easier to control while you’re getting used to the basic motions of lettering and are overall a great stepping stone before buying more specialized brush pens.
For this video, I used a Crayola Broad Line marker on my Simple Script Worksheet. This worksheet is unique within my collection because it’s designed with a monoline style. That means you don’t have to worry about adjusting your pressure to create thick and thin lines within the letters, making it perfect for beginners or anyone who prefers monoline lettering styles.
That said, these markers can also be used for more than just monoline letters because they’re still flexible enough to respond to pressure, making them a great way to experiment with both styles as you’re learning.
