A Calligraphy Clip in Gothic Style

[@SirGroove]

Ever since I started watching these kinds of videos I see fonts differently. I finally understand why they look the way they do.

The impressive part is not the Calligraphy but the fact that you're also holding the camera in your left hand.

Not to be a party pooper but he couldn't have been holding the camera since he was using it for the ruler at one point.

I just drew this freehand and with a ruler for more accuracy on the straight lines...wow, it was cool to draw but I hope I get the hang of this ....I always loved this exact style of lettering. It is by far in a class by itself!

[@Karina-gf8vx]

And there is difference in words "to write" and "to draw".

[@kylerootphotos]

Very nice example showing how to do the ornamentation. One side note - camera on a tripod would really make this a lot better!

My father worked at the White House from Kennedy through Carter as the Chief of the Social Office. He was the head calligrapher and was responsible for all the calligraphic art work that was required by the White House for things like place settings at State dinners along with the menus.As a kid I watched him for countless hours at the slant topped desk effortlessly produce some the world's best calligraphy. I recognize this gentleman's skill when he writes the word Gothic. Very impressive.

You don't need a dip pen to write like this, guys. Check out Pilot Parallel fountain pen.

This is called PERFECTION... When you try to perfect work, and then after long, very long, you get such a good finish that it looks like it's been printed on a computer... That's what I think about this work.

I m also calligrapher ! And l learn more than more this style ! I m impressed his free hand rythm ! Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!! I m jameel jabbari from Delhi ( india ) .

[@Shadow_from_the_sun]

I love the art of calligraphy, I'm seriously considering buying me a beginners set with a few books but does it seriously always take freaking 7 minutes to just write one word??? No offense to guy writing I know he has more skill and talent than I do in my pinky but what I'm really asking is, does calligraphy in general always take this long to just write one letter or this is just how this guy and most people generally do it? Cause I'm sure it must feel very satisfying when your done writing a page but is it worth it when it takes all day and hours into the night?

[@dedeking7926]

It does not always take this long. This guy for one thing is just showing how he does it. Once you practice a lot it comes as natural as regular handwriting. Obviously for beginners its going to take more time you just got to practice a lot.

[@Shadow_from_the_sun]

dede king thanks 👌

[@Shokukumi]

Baby Jesus Also, consider the spiritual art behind calligraphy: It is not solely about what you see on the paper in the end, but also about your connection to the paper and ink, your pen and yourself while you commit to it. It is very meditative and as they say: A real calligrapher will be able to tell how much soul and passion you put into the work. Even if it may look nice to an amateur, the true value lies in the spirit.

[@maximvsvicta8353]

I think there's a calligraphy box kit and a CD for beginners at "Barnes and Nobles" for just around $15.

Beautiful lettering, but that music was killing me.

[@edmundcharles5278]

Very artistic. Many people mistakingly believe that calligraphy is merely a fancy form of quick writing when in fact, it is a slow, deliberate art lettering format that takes a great deal of practice and time to achieve proficiency.

[@CloserExamination]

... and this is excellent. good form, good construction, good control. Excellent pen manipulation.... suberb!

[@astas1478]

The capital letter was not large enough in proportion to the small letters. The flourishes on all the small letters were inconsistent with one singular style. Instead, four or five different finishes were used. This person is definitely a novice to the Black Letter form called Gothic and it is obvious in this video. The strokes are four times slower than they have to be to provide a proper ink flow and finishes on the letters. For a beginner it is forgivable, however for a professional it is very immature and lacks in theory and practice of the technique. The paper is ruled in a strange cage pattern, showing that a person cannot write simple vertical lines without a help of a visual pencil line. Practice makes it perfect.

[@oranjizer]

[@12whitneym]

one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched, I'm in total awe

[@iamnorwegian]

No problem, you say? Well, thats great. I will keep on trying to learn as well as I can. Just two questions: How long do you think it would take to write a letter? Probably depending on the length of the letter, I suppose. And in a letter you would probably be using copperplate, right? Also, how do you practice? Do you wright of a book while looking at an alphabet as help? Or what is it you tell your students? You are most welcome for the kind words. I never saw anyone wright this beautiful!

[@no_handle_required]

Just beautiful, and so crips. I'd like to know the tools that were used as well.

Your so talented. I can't believe people can actually do that. Great job!! :)

[@heavenonearth7484]

wow.............impressive work...I will also try this

[@blah163]

It's a dip pen. At the end, it says he's using a "Brause & Co. Bandzug nib (5mm)". That's the metal part that writes (the nib). It's inserted into a holder. He dips the nib in ink. At the end, he uses a small flexible nib to do the flourishes. You can buy a nib, holder, and a bottle of ink for $10 at your local art supply store.

[@gailvictoria]

I have just seen the clip on writing the word "Gothic" and it is absolutely beautiful! You are very talented indeed. You say above "you should watch each clip several times" and then practice the letter. Have you made more clips showing how to do calligraphy in the Gothic style with different words or letters? If so, I will try to find them so I can practice with them.

[@Wad12br]

@fbspin It's called a Calligraphy dip pen , has a reservoir on top , so it's near to the tip , such writing is called broad pen , which can be aquired from specialist art shops , such as L.Cornelisson & Son in Great Russell Street , London ,England (Near the Britsh Museum)..But most art shops have a limited stock of Calligraphy type fountain broad pens , sometimes interchangeable nibs suchas .5mm to 2.5mm .These are cheap and easy to use where as dip pens need some skill to use effectively.

[@Aghastancred]

@Andarion666 A rustic hand is like the roman cursive hand? Or like the Capitalis Rustica? Whatever it's the case, it's writting, not draw. In the begining, the script was form of draw, yes, but the time changed it, the script was simplified to a one, two, three... up to four or even six different movements, but now we can distingish between a more elaborated draw and just a representation of that draw. Script consist of lines. Do you speak in spanish? Sorry if my english isn't good.

[@ReapersTutsnVids]

WE GET IT!!!! YOU'RE BETTER THAN US!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOVE IT IN OUR FACES!!!! LMAO Not really, It's an amazing skill to have that sort of patience(I would have screamed and threw the pen thingy at the wall and gave up) and write it so beautifully. Amazing job I must say.

[@hunterravensword]

I was eating popcorn and I spit it out with those BEAUTIFUL letters!

[@goodnightduality]

you get so used to just see it on the computer, thinking "wow that is crazy font". And here's this guy, doing the exact font, only with a pen and paper...and it makes it look so easy, because in the end it just looks like it was printed off the computer :O amazing stuff

[@Aghastancred]

@Andarios666 When you use other instruments for THE SAME word, you're not writing, you're drawning; you're treating a word like a draw and them aren't the same. You can use other instruments to check the size sing of the work or to create guide-lines to write or to make aside notes in other styles, like the rashi style in the comentaries of the hebrew texts. While you're drawning letters, one of two, or you're designing a typographic style or you aren't a calligrapher, but a drawer.

[@SoflesViolence]

Doing a whole book like that in ye olden days must have taken ages!

[@tarantula619]

Writing is a wonderfull art, It's a shame so few people bother to learn how to write like this anymore.

[@1wordywoman]

I agree with tarantula619. I began teaching myself calligraphy when I was seventeen. And it helped me to support myself as an independent sign painter for eleven years. Old English, Lydian Cursive and Celtic are the ones that I know best. I have been thinking of doing some videos on it. Long live the lost arts and those who learn them. 1wordywoman

[@TheTacoPandemic]

[@XysflightchampX]

@glower125 it was created to take up a very small amount of space. it just happens to look nice as well. and actually some Gothic scripts look very nice compared to the simple ones

[@rustyfocus6548]

That is for sure beautiful..

[@Aghastancred]

@Aghastancred And if you need more proves, check the 3:54, with the "h"; the termination of the first stroke, it consist of 20 movements to touch up the form. Also, in the 5:16 appears a new nib to touch up some details in the "i" dot. I don't know what do you think about that, but in the calligraphy, this in my opinion, you can't change the instrument, anyone need to learn how to do al strokes with one movement and one instrument.

[@rmcdaniel423]

Nice use of the corner of the nib. Very well controlled. I used a Brause nib for the first time a few days ago with a friend's equipment. I really liked the way it felt. Is that a Brause nib?

@Andarion666 And not only that, the "rubricatted" not are the decorated letters, the term comes from the latin rubra (fem. form of "ruber", red), and it reffer to the documents of the emperors and the kings, maked with a red pigment to distingish the status in their documents...
