    I'm just starting to learn calligraphy and bought a book last week. I learned more about the basics in this 6 minute video than the first 10 pages of the book. Now I see why all those lines are important. Excellent video. Now on to practicing.

    Found this really useful! :D Been banging my head against my computer trying to find printable calligraphy paper, but this vid helped me realize that line size matters....and that it's WAY more fun making my own! :D
    Sidenote: Saw a couple of comments that said this was way too advanced for beginners, but I had no problem understanding it. I've had to rewind and pause in a few places, just to make sure I'm doing it right, but other than that, I don't see how this is too difficult for beginners; it's just learning how to draw lines on paper, basically. (Though I did spring for that special little ruler at Hobby Lobby; it helps! :D)

    I have always loved writing and had the desire to learn calligraphy. I've attempted several times when I was younger through books, but never took a real class.

I'm from Essex but live in the States (I know I lost a bet with God lol) and I get teased more for my slang terms than my accent. I like to say "half the people love my accent and their boyfriends don't ". Lol

    I remember Calligraphy and Lettering being part of our primary and secondary school curriculum. I was fascinated with the beauty of it but was too lazy to do it myself. It’s always a lot of work and I didn’t consider it relaxing then. Now I’m watching Calligraphy videos to alleviate stress. Ha.

    I have been complimented on my hand writing for several decades but I have only taken one Art class that specifically addressed calligraphy. I found that taking the class taught me to properly write in everyday situations. (pressure, slant, lift, etc.) Could this be why you have such excellent hand writing "...for a guy..." (I'm a guy, too)

    @gblan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you study calligraphy seriously and practice effectively you can easily develop a fabulous italic style hand using a monoline pen. I began calligraphy at the Academy for Fine Arts in New Orleans many years ago and I constantly get comments on how amazing my regular handwriting is, usually followed by a "for a guy." I just think to myself, "Ptth, or for anyone for that matter." :-)

  • @guitarplayr8
    @guitarplayr8 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've enjoyed every one of your calligraphy videos. I was wondering if possibly you could find a left-handed scribe to do a video or two on how they write. I recently started learning calligraphy and my biggest issue so far is finding any useful video material geared towards lefties. I've seen several videos of left-handed people doing calligraphy, but none that really explain their particular technique. I've read and seen in videos tips from righties that simply say "turn your paper" or "buy a left oblique nib" or "have a flexible wrist." That does help, but if there was someone who could really break down their left-handed technique, that would be awesome. Anyways, I look forward to more of your videos!

    • @PAScribe
      @PAScribe 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tyler Martin Hello Tyler, great that you started. Left handed calligraphy depends on the pen hold that you have. It varies so much from one left hander to the next. Gaynor Goeff is left handed and she taught me. She is brilliant. Look her up. Keep well and keep practising.

    Best pen for beginners and type of paper suggestions? Also is there a good reference book that has many alphabet and letters styles? Thanks.
