HUGE Calligraphy Sale Next Week!
As the live semester of ShowMeYourDrills wraps up next week, I'm hosting a huge sale on my calligraphy courses + workbooks.
Nothing to do for now. I'll send all the details in next week's Friday newsletter, so keep your eyes peeled!
Is Your Calligraphy Shaky?!
I get asked alllll the time in ShowMeYourDrills: "Why are my drills so shaky?!"
The causes can vary, so I've put together a checklist of reasons why that might be happening!

I'm a FRAYED not (ha, see what I did there????) Honestly, once your brush pens are frayed, there isn't much you can do to fix them. I would just put them in a pile and use them in instances where you don't need the precision (like, use them for drawing, or on projects with rough paper, etc). The best defence against frayed pens is using them properly from the get-go: hold them properly, make sure you're using the right paper, and rotate them in between every couple of strokes.
