Lettering FAQs: What is the best pen set for beginners?

Hello fellow letterers! I love answering your hand lettering questions on my blog and on Instagram. You all have SO many great questions about how to start hand lettering, but one of the questions I get asked the most is: What pens are best for beginners?

Answer: if you are a true true hand lettering beginner, these Faber-Castell Duo Tip Markers from our shop are a great place to start!

You can use them to manually come back and thicken downstrokes OR you can vary the angle and pressure and use them like a brush pen!

I put together a demonstration of how I use these pens for faux calligraphy and hand lettering. Watch the video here:

I love these markers soooo much! Very similar to Crayola Supertips if you have those but I do love the colors on these and that there are two colors on each marker. 🙌🏻 You can shop this pen set on my site, just click here!
