I have created a few sets of FREE printable guidelines to help you with your calligraphy practice! 4mm and 5mm x-height guidelines are my personal go-to for daily practice, but I have also created 3mm and 6mm versions for those who are interested. I like to print out these guidelines directly on laser printer paper for easy practice. Another way is to use semi-transparent layout paper over these guidelines, which is also great for drafting calligraphy pieces.
In these sets you will find 4 different versions of guidelines for each x-height. I often find myself reaching for a variety of guidelines depending on the type of work I’m producing. If you’re a beginner and just starting out, I recommend downloading the 5mm with x-height guideline. But feel free to experiment with the others as well to see what you’re most comfortable with. I hope you find them useful in your studies.
Included are:
-
Four sets of 3mm at 55 degrees
-
Four sets of 4mm at 55 degrees
-
Four sets of 5mm at 55 degrees
-
Four sets of 6mm at 55 degrees
You will receive a download link immediately after check-out.
Feel free to share photos of your practice using these guidelines and tag me at @_jwlettering. I would love to see your work and progress!
