Free printable script practice for calligraphy and modern lettering, from the drills every script is built on to full alphabets, words and phrases.
Calligraphy is built from a handful of repeated shapes: the oval, the loop and the parallel slant. Begin every session with the drills, keep the pen moving slowly, and only then move on to the alphabets, where the same shapes return inside every letter.
The script sheets range from formal script pangrams to relaxed brush and monoline scripts. Practise with a pencil or monoline pen first; once the shapes are consistent, trace them again with a brush pen and add pressure on the downstrokes.
Cursive shape drills: spaced ovals, connected ovals, ascender loops, descender loops and the u to n alternation, all with proper cursive joins. Trace the dotted row, then repeat the movement freehand on the empty row below.
The complete warm-up to shape-drill sequence on two pages: verticals, horizontals, diagonals and arches first, then ovals, loops and curve alternations in connected cursive. A ready-made seven-minute drill session before your regular practice.
Second-tier drills for when the basics feel settled: small e loops, alternating le loops, sustained arches, the compound curve of s, the letter f, figure eights and the rhythm word minimum. Dotted rows to trace, empty rows to repeat freehand.
Empty page with 4 horizontal guide lines along with a slanted one, for easy printing to make your calligraphy practice.
