Not sure about what the difference between lettering and calligraphy is? I wrote this post explaining it all.
My name is Joy Kelley, I am the mom of 3 Lil’ boys. A lettering artist/designer originally from Santiago, Chile but currently residing in the mountains of Southern California, USA.
I love to share my experiences as a lettering artist, business owner, and blogger. Let’s be friends!

While most of my design are in my shop howjoyfulshop.com I recently created two collection at Zazzle that you can customize however you want.
I wrote a post where I share 25 of my favorite classes in this post.
No, they are not the same. why? Because of the way letters are constructed.
LETTERING: Drawing letters, using the necessary number of revisions, modifications and usually born out of several thumb sketch ideas.
CALLIGRAPHY: Writing letters, whether, in one stroke or the deconstruction of several strokes, there is no erasing or re-adjusting.
The thing I love the most about lettering and brush calligraphy is the low barrier to entry, to start practicing lettering all you need is a pencil, pen, and an eraser.
For brush calligraphy, all you need is a brush pen that allows pressure sensitivity and paper.
Of course, from there you can go as wild as you want! I have a full list of materials that I love on this page.
Absolutely!!
