I am a new subbie today... I did calligraphy 25 years ago and was pretty darn good! Now I am as rusty as an iron nail left in water! So... I am watching you! Keeping my eye on you too.... Cos I appreciate the very clear instructions.

[@MarcusTrawick]

I did 215 repetitions of letter "a", but then you already know that since you are watching us ;) It took me a few days. I've been practicing all of the letters I've learned so far. The repetition works.

well done marcus!;-)

[@meats7854]

Aww I really like the positive bit at the end

[@davidnicholls100]

Thanks, Meats!

[@sondre9056]

Yeah! Awesome, new letters!
Please, let me recommend a redwine because I am so greateful for these videos. SHORESH, Israeli red wine.

[@davidnicholls100]

Thanks for your kind comment. I'll keep an eye out for Shoresh!! ;-)

[@Khamomil]

The "r" looks very pretty. I've never seen it quite like this before. In Gothic it has an outgoing upward little stroke that isn't bad looking either.

[@davidnicholls100]

Gothic is next, but I won't be starting it until October

BTW , I LOVE your Calligraphy lessons.... i had learned as a teen and now that i am retired I am getting back to my creative roots and re-learning things ... Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us .

[@thechristianred5714]

I also learned calligraphy as a teen. Learned it from David Harris' "Art of Calligraphy".

[@thechristianred5714]

Just call it an ascender! That's its name!

[@davidnicholls100]

You'll find references to ascenders in many of the other videos, but well done for knowing the word! ;-)

[@naomiwagoner5279]

I'm interested in knowing how a spider shows up in your videos. Very creepy and unnerving!

[@davidnicholls100]

you'll have to ask the spider ! :-)
