A Beginner's Guide to Uncial Calligraphy with Janet Takahashi

[@alumbo]

I LOVE this tutorial. I haven't seen many that really want the viewer to succeed with their craft. I'm a beginner and I can''t say how much i appreciate that! Every question answered!!

[@joebalabuszko8863]

Great clear video Janet. Good seeing the stroke breakdown assortment so letters can be built from them. I met you in 1992 at Rick Glawson's Fine Gold Sign Co. in California. Dave Smith was also there. He certainly became world famous. Now he is Sir David Smith. We are all in a photo I have. You are behind the counter with my two Parker Duofold pens standing up on the caps. It is great to see you sharing great knowledge to the world.

I've tried this a few years ago, but you make me want to try again!

[@EvilSmonker]

The best and most detailed videos on this font; I feel like just through this video, and with some practice, the hand will be replicable!

Thank you!

[@teathomass]

How cool!

[@alexandro_coutinho]

Do you recommend any books on uncial calligraphy?

[@plouteo6612]

5:31 there is no letter "K" and "X" ... I prefer practicing in her suggested grouping rather than a sequential A to Z.

[@UkeTurner]

Is there just upper case? I want lower case too!

[@SakuraColorProducts]

That's the beauty of Uncial! There's just one case which are basically capitals with ascenders and descenders mixed in (variations on the letters). Historically, this hand was used very tiny. Also, it developed over three centuries, so it evolved over time.

[@UkeTurner]

Ok, but at 0.53 you show a piece of paper you've written with many characters that are lower case/ones that you havent shown how to do.

[@2000pkv]

@@UkeTurner for headings the characters are written bold and larger size to give emphasis. You can use same technique at beginning of sentences or nouns in place of capital

Isnt this irish calligraphy ? Great tutorial

[@dbcooper9935]

What's the advantage of hand calligraphy over a laser printer with the same font?

[@florribart]

Thanks for the video!!

[@malliyahlusch1507]

Wish you did numbers too! :’(

[@paxdomini9714]

These would've been roman numerals

[@galemckiddy5120]

Very nice video! The background music is very annoying, however.
