For centuries, artists and writers have relied on dip pens to create everything from delicate calligraphy to bold, dramatic illustrations. There’s a reason this simple tool has stood the test of time—it allows for an incredible range of expression, from the thinnest whisper of a line to a deep, inky flourish.
Â
And for me, it’s become a signature tool, letting me create flowing, flexible lines and quirky, expressive lettering that feels alive on the page.
In this online video course, I’ll walk you through everything you need to get started.
