MY PROCESS

Devanagari calligraphy is the artistic, stylized writing of the Devanagari script, an ancient Indian system used for languages like Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit. I first practiced basic strokes, the letters and then experimented with various styles of writing. After lots of practice and experimentation, I developed two fonts.
