26 WORDS IN BASIC STROKES – WORD 6 – FAITHFUL
Hello and welcome back to 26 Words in Basic Strokes. I’m Riëtte and I’m breaking down one word a day for 26 days into the basic
calligraphy strokes. We’re keeping it simple, no flourishes, no bouncing. If you need an overview of the basic strokes, I break them down in the introduction video of this series. Today’s word is faithful.
We start with an upstroke.
Next, we have an f-stroke. It’s a combination of an ascending and reverse descending stroke.
Then we have another upstroke that doesn’t quite reach the x-height.
Next, we have an oval.
An underturn stroke.
Another underturn stroke.
A t-stroke or an l-stroke.
An ascending stroke
A compound curve.
Another f-stroke, a combination of an ascending and reverse descending stroke.
Next we have another compound curve. Start your first stroke with a slight curve.
An underturn stroke.
And an l-stroke.
Now let’s connect these strokes.
An upstroke.
F-stroke.
Another upstroke.
Oval.
An underturn stroke.
An underturn stroke.
T-stroke.
Ascending stroke.
Compound curve.
F-stroke.
Compound curve.
Underturn stroke.
L or t-stroke.
And remember to cross the t and dot the i.
And there you go. That’s the word faithful.
I hope you enjoyed that. If you do practice, I would love to see. You can tag me on Instagram using #26wordsinbasicstrokes. I’ll be back tomorrow with another word.
