What You Will Need

You don’t need any special tools for faux Kuligraphy.
If you don’t have any ballpoint pens, you can use a standard pencil instead.
Write Your Word
Put the paper in front of you and write a word like in the picture below for an example.
Thicken the Downstrockes
After you wrote your word, it’s time to thicken all downstrokes on the letters.
Look at your letters and make a double line on one side of the letter.
Fill the area between
Now you can fill out the area between the original written line and the line you just added in the previous step.
After this step your word should look like the word in the picture.
Congratulations, you just wrote your first Faux Kuligraphy word!
