Find a post by antoniosz here on FPN. Like this post. In the signature line, click the first and third links.

Then try a post in the Penmanship Forum under Creative Expressions.

Oh and lots of practice.

This first two pinned topics in this subforum offer lots of good guidance.

There are a lot of books for Calligraphy beginners. You can buy one, or probably check one out from your local library. They should contain both the alphabets and the basic techniques you have to put together to produce them.

I picked up Calligraphy For Dummies and actually like it.
