This lesson kicked my butt. It was difficult and believe it or not this was the easy version. The letter "b" can be done using three or four individual strokes. See the pictures below. The first "b" can be done in three individual strokes (upstroke, ascending loop and upstroke). This is the version my instructor, Becca uses, and the one I chose to do. The second "b" has four individual strokes, (upstroke, ascending loop, oval and another upstroke). This way is the traditional calligraphy way to do the letter "b". You start with the upstroke halfway then stop leaving a little space for the ascending loop. This loop comes around and down to fill the space I left open. Then I start at the bottom of the ascending loop to start the curved "s" (is the best way I can describe this stroke) and finish it off. *Editors Note: This practice sheet page is from Becca, The Happily Ever Crafter. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/welcome-to-chapter-ii-minusculesnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/597011db-1931-47b1-8ea0-f50df7a004ac/IG+Reel+Cover+%281%29.png Blog - Welcome to Chapter II – Minuscules  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/review-show-me-your-drills monthly 0.5 2026-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/60414674-f809-463b-bd40-c47db4da209a/IG+Reel+Cover+%281%29.png Blog - Review: Show Me Your Drills - Make it stand out Credit to Becca @ The Happily Ever Crafter https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-28-back-to-the-descending-loop-still-a-work-in-progress monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/ad00d91b-581b-4296-b23a-e51f86bdbb92/20260802_140817.jpg Blog - Day 28 — Back to the Descending Loop | Still a Work in Progress - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-27-my-favorite-so-far-the-ascending-loop monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/7b7e9e30-58b9-4b9d-b051-dad672b26cd4/20260801_075838.jpg Blog - Day 27 — My Favorite So Far | The Ascending Loop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-26-ovals-getting-around-the-curve monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/090a8c4b-0ca8-4235-8817-467f625ee831/20260731_105927.jpg Blog - Day 26 — Ovals: Getting Around the Curve - The odds are increasing in my favor. This week I jumped in proficiency from 20% last week to 50% this week. You will hear me say this a lot but it's true. Practice. Practice and practice. It doesn't have to be for 30 minutes twice a day like me. It can be 15 minutes. Just stay consistent and results will happen. I'm in my fourth week and I re-watched my instructor, Becca's videos on the Oval. I noticed today that after the sixth row of ovals, my hand started getting tired. I kept pushing through and noticed everything after the six row was getting worse. My hand really started shaking. My ovals were getting progressively worse. I did nine rows today and that was too much. I started going faster, really rushing to finish because my hand was getting tired. Moving forward, I will stop at the six row. Anything after that isn't productive. There's nothing wrong with pushing yourself to do better. At what point do you stop and say, "Alright, this isn't helping and now has started hindering my progress?" That is what happened to me today. It's about self-awareness. I remind myself every day, just like today. I'm literally on the 26th day of learning calligraphy, not my 26th month (2 years and 2 months). We can be committed to learning. Our creative journey is allowed to be fun. We don't have to turn every practice session into a test or every page into a performance. Sometimes the greatest achievement is simply enjoying the act of creating. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-25-compound-curve monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/975e7c8d-dd91-4907-b0a2-053a80addf28/20260730_112457.jpg Blog - Day 25 — The Compound Curve Is Starting to Click - The Compound Curve is quickly becoming my favorite. The improvement from week 1 to week 4 still blows my mind. Last week I performed 20% of the compound curve correctly and 80% were incorrect. This week it was 50/50. It's been slow and consistent practice, re-watching Becca, the instructor's video on the Compound Curve that I was able to make progress and write this stroke correctly. See the practice sheet below. I still have some shakiness and remind myself to slow down, when I see myself going fast. I still practice twice a day for 30 minutes. There are no shortcuts in calligraphy. After looking at my practice sheet, a thought came to me. We don't have to have beautiful lettering today to become a skilled calligrapher tomorrow. Every artist starts somewhere, and every journey begins with patience. The paper is more forgiving than our inner critic. It doesn't judge our shaky lines or imperfect letters—it simply gives us another chance to pick up your pen and begin again. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-24-underturn-stroke monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/935485cb-f940-4052-8b13-f8ed6fb2c239/20260729_145541.jpg Blog - Day 24 — Still Figuring Out the Underturn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-23-underturn-stroke monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/9b28e3ed-c088-41ef-8319-f0d6771f4417/20260728+Day+23_+Underturn+Stroke+Completed+Practice.jpg Blog - Day 23 — The Curves Have a Name | Overturns - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/qh45cdq2xer6kfnl6zkond6uu4t9e0 monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/ddb1a068-1eb5-4520-861a-b453bd4cbf2e/20260727+Day+22_+Up+%26+Downstroke+Completed+Practice.jpg Blog - Day 22 — Finding the Rhythm | Upstrokes & Downstrokes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-21-three-week-milestone-unlockednbsp monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/45740f49-7f9a-46ea-9a13-a77c0e448001/Untitled+design.png Blog - Day 21: Three-Week Milestone Unlocked  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-20-ascending-loop monthly 0.5 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/362db3e5-82b5-40a5-9065-772453cb37e6/20260725+My+Little+Corner.jpg Blog - Day 20: Small Wins Are Still Wins | Ascending Loops - Make it stand out My Little Practice Corner.

I'm going through menopause right now. My face was dripping from sweat. It just happens out of nowhere. You can't control when it happens, which is all the time. It feels like there's 10,000 sun cores inside me. I persevered and continued. A small portion of my paper I was unable to use due to sweat dripping off my forehead. I didn't want to stop mid stroke, so I kept going. Whether you're learning calligraphy or any new hobby, challenges will always come up while learning/practicing. There is nothing more distracting than being hot with sweat dripping all over your body, but I kept going and made it through, and you can too. Some days, simply showing up is the victory. Pick up your pen, make a few strokes, and give yourself credit for keeping the promise you made to your future self. Consistency will always take you farther than waiting for motivation. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/460dwrhzi1ltd0xbi7jgntbbpiafzg monthly 0.5 2026-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/def72d06-6d63-4592-890c-17942b272c5a/20260723+Compound+Curve+Comparison+Week+1+Vs+Week+3_100021.jpg Blog - Day 18: When the Curves Start to Flow | Compound Curves - Make it stand out I’ve uploaded Week 1 Vs Week 3 practicing the Compound Curve https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-17-the-underturn-stroke monthly 0.5 2026-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/be61ab81-0ee4-4839-b21b-ed4468c95c2d/20260722+Day+17+-+Underturn+Stroke+Finished+Practice+Sheet.jpg Blog - Day 17: Learning to Trust My Hand | Underturn Strokes - I do see progress being made. Last week doing the Underturn, I could barely hold the shape. This week, I can but there's still some challenges with this stroke. When I do Downstroke into the curve, I'm okay but when I get to the upstroke, I can still see my hand shaking. As I was doing the practice drill today, I actually recorded my hand shaking, which was wild to see. The shakiness has gotten better, and Becca, the instructor said, "Beginners struggle with this for a time, but as we practice more and get better, it will go away." This reminded me that learning a new skill is physical as well as mental. My hand is still building the muscle memory it needs, and that's something that only comes with time and practice. I do. I practice twice a day for 30 minutes. Once in the morning and once in the evening, usually on my lunch break at work, which is also 30 minutes. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-16-overturn-stroke monthly 0.5 2026-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/1786236256516-F8KRD7AKURWN2Q342PK5/Week+1+%26+2+Comparison+of+Oversturn+Stroke.jpg Blog - Day 16: Finding My Rhythm | Overturn Strokes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/1786236256418-SGTSJDIFVJYBPVLXWK08/20260721+Day+16+Overturn+Finished+Practice+Sheet.jpg Blog - Day 16: Finding My Rhythm | Overturn Strokes https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-15-upstroke-and-downstroke monthly 0.5 2026-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/1784606763999-MIY357853PPS1R0T9OWB/Week+3+Drill+Sheet.jpg Blog - Day 15: Getting Comfortable With the Basics | Upstrokes & Downstrokes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/1784606764009-F9YRRB8QTZKUS03WS3SB/Week+2+Drill+Sheet.jpg Blog - Day 15: Getting Comfortable With the Basics | Upstrokes & Downstrokes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/84c1ff1f-cb45-4534-ae70-3d09040cf9aa/20260720+Practice+Sheet+Finished.jpg Blog - Day 15: Getting Comfortable With the Basics | Upstrokes & Downstrokes - The last line is the Upstroke and Downstroke combination. The strokes that are checked show that I did them correctly. Last week, I had my meltdown. I had been trying to get that stroke to stop looking like baby cobras and became overwhelmed and took my frustration out on my pen and paper. Well, this week, there is a change in the air. In the pictures below, you can see from last week to this week, I was able to finally get a few of the Upstroke and Downstroke combinations correctly. I am so happy. It took patience, meltdown, and a lot of practice. For me, what made the difference to doing the stroke correctly was to go slow. I mean break it down to a sloth, moving in action slow. I didn't use tracing. I did it all freehand. The 45-degree angle here is very important. It's what gives your pen the flexibility to do this difficult stroke. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day monthly 0.5 2026-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/7bf0b9a6-a54d-4afb-a8cb-b641bde7ef94/2.png Blog - Day 8 - 14 Reflections from Today’s Practice Corner - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-14-descending-loopnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/57c306e2-f9b6-4d02-9f2e-148595851f9d/Felecia+Scott+-+Soft+tip+Calligraphy+Pen Blog - Day 14: What is splitting? - What is splitting/fraying? Splitting on a soft-tip brush pen is when the brush tip separates into two or more points instead of staying together as a single, smooth tip. It can make your strokes look fuzzy, uneven, or scratchy. The most common reasons are: Pressing too hard. This is the #1 cause. Soft brush pens are designed to flex, but too much pressure forces the fibers apart. (This was me) Using rough paper. Textured or low-quality paper can catch the fibers and cause them to separate. Moving too quickly with heavy pressure. Fast, forceful downstrokes can stress the tip. (This was me again). Normal wear. Even the most well-care brush pens eventually wear out after lots of practice. (This is me too). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/54097309-b70f-4649-ba1e-9135a5d4c159/20260719_095647+%281%29.jpg Blog - Day 14: What is splitting? What does it look like? Instead of one clean downstroke, you might notice: A tiny "V" shape at the tip. Two distinct lines instead of one. Jagged or fuzzy edges on thick strokes. Difficulty making smooth transitions from thick to thin. (This was me, again) That black dot on the 5th row is where I dropped my soft tip brush pen right before I started practicing the Descending Loop. You can see immediately where the fraying began in the first line. I was thinking it wasn’t that bad and by the fourth line, I gave up. I switched to a brand new soft tip brush pen. https://www.feleciascott.com/blog/day-13-ascending-loopnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a54463df3026c2d519f3a9b/68ef649d-8022-4600-ae1c-c8451dc95dc4/20260718_105313.jpg Blog -
