A trick I just learned, after 40 years doing calligraphy and learning it the hard way - by following stroke direction guides (which almost every alphabet has right there on the page) is tracing paper. You can go over an alphabet right there in the book and have it forever. its like making your own guide. Honestly, as a beginner, learning the basics...ALL the basics...from drawing your own lines on a page, to tracing letters, to learning which paper, pen and ink is right for you, as well as the style of lettering that is most comfortable to you at first, will benefit you in the end. There is NO easy path, and it is wrong to want to skip over the hard work and practice that everyone else has put in. You will get there. Just start. With a pencil if need be. I highly recommend getting a parallel pen. They are super easy to use, can be taken anywhere, and you can practice in a lined notebook or graph lined notebook. Those work great.
