In this clip we'll be learning how to do numbers and punctuation in the italic, cursive calligraphy hand. The numbers are drawn to the cap line, just like a capital letter. So you're going to come up here to the cap line; one, and two goes just slightly below. Numbers are pretty good sized. Four comes all the way down to the body line. Five has a kind of quick turn. And again, there's that curve line that's used a lot. Seven. Always at the 45 degree angle still the numbers are created just how we created the letters. Also, we're going to show you some punctuation. That's one way. The ampersand, and you can create this either way. You can also use just the diamond as a period or punctuation for an "I" or "J".
