Reddit reviews Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering: A Mark-Making Workbook for Crafters, Cardmakers, and Journal Artists

First of all you NEED this book, it has it all like seriously all,the tools the strokes the history - the chapter on brush lettering alone is worth the purchase.
(in case the link doesn't work the book is called Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering by Lisa Engelbercht)

Then you need to watch this series of videos by Eliza Holliday, she shows the dynamics of the process and keeps it fairly simple and easy to understand - though there are others i found this one to be the most useful.

And then you need a fuckton of practice because the Pentel Pocket brush can be a little bitch sometimes but gets the job done - also you might want to get a couple of other brushpens along the way just to make sure you can control all types and be efficent with any tool.


Hope this helps
