Download and print these fun calligraphy worksheets and practice your basic strokes (without the BASIC BOREDOM!)

This 10-page worksheet set introduces you to each of the "Basic Strokes" that every calligraphy beginner should start with.

These Basic Strokes form all of the lowercase letters and are the KEY to consistent, clean, professional-looking calligraphy!

When I was learning calligraphy 3 years ago, I NEVER did drills, because I found them so dull and boring.

So I set out to create a set of drill sheets that are ANYTHING BUT BORING! Each sheet contains sassy, sweary words and phrases so your practice will be delightful, not dreary.

This worksheet can be printed on any home printer.

You can use tracing or bond paper over the worksheet pages to practice, or you can write directly on the printed pages themselves.

If you are planning to write directly on the worksheet, then I recommend printing it on 28# or 32# LASERJET PAPER so your ink does not feather or bleed.
