Daily Drop Cap. Calligraphy. Home bulia byak, buliabyak@users.sf.net and josh andler, scislac@users.sf.net One of the many great tools available in Inkscape is the Calligraphy tool.
This tutorial will help you become acquainted with how that tool works, as well as demonstrate some basic techniques of the art of Calligraphy.

History and Styles Going by the dictionary definition, calligraphy means “beautiful writing” or “fair or elegant penmanship”. The earliest forms of calligraphy date back to cave-man paintings. There are three main styles of calligraphy: Western or Roman Arabic Chinese or Oriental This tutorial focuses mainly on Western calligraphy, as the other two styles tend to use a brush (instead of a pen with nib), which is not how our Calligraphy tool currently functions.

How to Use a Dip Pen to Create Modern Calligraphy. Modern calligraphy is one of my favorite looks, and the font that I’ve been using on all my personal correspondence lately.
Why do I like it? Well, first of all, it’s easy to create with your dip pen. Secondly, it offers a lot of visual appeal. Finally, it doesn’t give the folks at the post office too much of a headache because despite its quirkiness, it’s neat. This is how I love to use this style on letters: {If you’re curious, check out my The Art of Snail Mail post [where this image was taken from] to get excited to send some correspondence!} Variations of the modern calligraphy style are widespread on Etsy, and I just used it to create wedding envelope calligraphy for a client in New Jersey. A couple of months ago, I showed you how to use an oblique calligraphy pen. Here’s what you’ll need to get started: I use Speedball India ink and a cheap Speedball plastic pen holder with a thin nib. You should be able to obtain India ink at any art supply store like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.
The year of Lettering. I wanted to help out all of the future letterers out there by offering up some suggested places to start, and to give the people who love those future letterers some great gift ideas.
More installments to come! Starter Kits: 1.
