Calligraphy tools are essential for creating beautiful handwritten letters and designs. The most common tools include a calligraphy pen, which has a special nib that allows for varying line thickness, and ink, which can be either bottled or in cartridges. Paper designed for calligraphy is often thicker and smoother to prevent ink bleeding. Other useful tools include a ruler for straight lines, a pencil for sketching guidelines, and blotting paper to absorb excess ink. Some calligraphers also use guidelines or templates to maintain consistent letter sizes and spacing. These tools help artists achieve precision and elegance in their work.
