Another helpful video to remind us to practice every day.  The idea of using tracing paper to help getting the " swing " of the stroke was something I never thought to do.  I am 76, started making quill pens when 11. Had inky fingers since then. It is a badge of honor. Never leave the house without at least 3 fountain pens. I love the beautiful music you play.

"Calligraphy Friends"... I barely have "friends" 😂 great video!

"if you don't like paper you can just do calligraphy on the walls" - every graffiti writer watching this like "eeeehm, it's not that I don't like paper"..

I never would have thought you have only been doing for 5 years. Your style is beautiful !

So true! On all things in life!

Your enthusiasm really comes across.

I practiced using highlighters lol. And I have penpals to remind me to practice!

You are so right! I deal with byzantine calligraphy for many years  which have different ethics but your advice on calligraphy are absolutely valid, I think, in every case.

Old english to Gothic now Fraktur . all while avoiding copperplate which everyone loves lol ... its on the to do list haha

uncial is probably my favorite, I’d really like to learn it, also your cat is adorable 🥰

Hi! I started practicing foundational calligraphy a couple of years ago. I am currently focusing on Carolingian. At the same time, I'm attending to several courses on Paleography. I found your channel looking for videos about calligraphy. Greetings from Madrid, Spain!

gothic textura quadrata! and your video is the first I fell in love with, now to oggle at your video on your medieval calligraphy book collection!!!1

Thank you for the video, it gave me some items to try.
you are one of the first videos I watched on calligraphy. I’ve been watch and practicing for about a year.

What i really want to focus on right now is improving my penmanship more so than full on calligraphy, so drills are definitely going to be the way to go for me because i think it's going to be I've of the skills that will naturally transpose into my thoughtless daily handwriting, more so than copypasting a script would (will def. learn copperplate and take inspo from 19th century letters though) (I'm also learning Chinese and just found a video compiling all of the basic strokes, like i know them already but i never really used them as intended so before i study the 千子文/the thousands character classic, i.e. the source chinese people learn in school to learn the most common characters, i'm going to do the drills)

As a teen i created a grimoire type book for fun and did a lot of it in gothic script, it took me a full year to realize that the nibs were shaped differently enough that i was loosing my time :') and i now understand why everything was so wonky but at some point i'd like to give it another shot, ooh i'm a fan of Charmed so a replica of the book of shadows would be sick
I recently discovered anglicana or Court Hand and it's gorgeous but i can't seem to find that many sources on it all of the results i find are grainy and uneven at best

Edit : looking back at anglicana script with fresh eyes i think the issue was that i was expecting it to work like gothic or uncial but it's almost closer to secretary's hand and oh my is it painful to read (i love it) it kinda looks like thz voynich manuscript

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I felt every single tip as if I was reliving my own "aha!" moment 😂. Also, your humour is charming. Lovely video.
🪢Thank you 🪢

Amazing

I always forgot to do the drills 😂😂😂

ohh im learning calligraphy again since my school year is almost over so this came at a neat time ❤️❤️

Thanks for your enjoyable and practical tutorials. Loved your video of your currently owned pens.

I started with uncial last year. When I searched for more tutorials on it, I found your channel.
