Description

It's proven that practicing calligraphy can quickly improve bad handwriting by a better understanding of letters' structure and proportion. Writing bigger letters helps to make curves and lines correctly. The beauty of the letters will make the task of writing more pleasant.

Calligraphy is also a very constructive leisure. It develops virtues such as patience, attention to detail, perfection, willingness to learn, and the sense of beauty.

Calligraphy is a full art form using letters, words and illuminations. It’s also a meditation process when your mind focuses on the strokes, beautifully draw lines and curves, following your intuition and inspiration.

The only pre-requirement to this art is the knowledge of writing, which everyone is proficient. Calligraphy has a high potential of discoveries, it’s one of the rare art form that you can start from a basis you already know: writing letters and words.

Amazing!

I just started and so far this app is great! I’m basically transitioning to goth and I kinda want to be able to do calligraphy. I saw another app like this and I thought it looked cool, so I got it … but it wanted me to pay to do it so obvi, I did not continue it. I started looking for another app like it and found this so, I got it, and I’m resaying or what ever the word is, so far this is great.

I really enjoy it… when it works.

It’s full of bugs and will shut down randomly all the time. Wish I could use it consistently, because the designs and format is all fantastic.

Damn good

This app is awesome, great to practice with, I feel guilty that I spend more time on this app. Great collection of font styles. Worthy of purchasing if you got the calligraphy bug.

What’s happened?

I spent hours using this app. Gave it a break for a while. Now, it’s full of bugs. Shuts down randomly, without saving current progress; freezes when using the undo feature while setting up words. Great app, lots of fun, but incredibly frustrating to use at the moment.

Calligraphy HB

Only just got this app tonight and have been having fun doing the exercises. So far so good

Great fun

Just started using it and loving it

Great app but...

You can't turn off the camera sound when you save a picture, it's really annoying. You can't bring back a previous image and edit it. Only two thickness settings?!! Fix these and its 5*
