Get started in the chancery italic hand and free your stroke
In Eastern cultures, calligraphy is an artistic form that relies on centuries of tradition but is still used today, demanding special training and dedication. In the West, on the other hand, it has occupied a second level, becoming an art practiced only by a few, among which is the designer and calligraphy specialist and lettering Ana Hernández. He currently teaches workshops and conferences on calligraphy, trying to expand and continue this beautiful practice.
In this course you will get the basic notions about calligraphy, learning the chancelloric italic style with which you can start practicing and releasing your stroke until you get an expressive style that identifies you and that you can capture in your compositions.
