Tomorrow is Eid, the celebration of the end of Ramadhan so I decided to try my hand at a bit of Arabic calligraphy! We say Eid Mubarak to wish others a blessed/happy Eid, similar to how Christians say Merry Christmas on Christmas day :-)
Not sure if there is a rule to doing calligraphy but this is my really quick pencil sketch/plan. I started with jotting the words down normally then I started to play around with putting them in shapes but this was quite hard. Then I tried overlapping and exaggerating the sizes of the letters. I decided I really like the one on the bottom right because I like that its quite symmetrical-ish looking and still readable!
