Copperplate Guide Sheets

Loosen up your hand with pencil and monoline warm-ups, then move on to rhythmic broad-edge pen patterns. Each page explains the exercise and gives you guidelines to trace and repeat.

Sharon Shaw

A complete warm-up routine for pointed pen calligraphy, with pencil and nib exercises followed by stroke drills on 55 degree guidelines. Each drill shows stroke order and direction so you can trace first and then write on your own.

Flourished Hope

Clean, traceable sheets for the basic calligraphy strokes, with separate pages for upstrokes, downstrokes, overturns and underturns. Versions for small and large brush pens let you practice with whatever tip you have.

UPrinting

A one-page drill of large and small ovals with stroke arrows, the shape behind most script letters. Repeat it as a daily warm-up with a large or small brush pen.
