How to write Copperplate Calligraphy Alphabet

[@CalligraphyMasters]

What's your favourite and least favourite letters??? #CalligraphyMasters #KeepWriting #HowTo #Copperplate #Script #Calligraphy #Calligraphie #Caligrafia

[@Dalendrion]

My favorite is probably the majuscule D, the majuscule B being a close second. My least favorite is the minuscule p. It's so hard keeping the extended full pressure stroke consistent!

[@c1lingssw]

My faves are C D L and S as they include in my name. But I found M, V and W very difficult to write better. How long is the life of a nib normally? I am a beginner. Thanks

[@vratitasharma6848]

Calligraphy Masters my favorite is the majuscule d,m,w and majuscule x is the worst

[@Vipashayana.]

I love the letter B! I find D and S very tricky!

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Thank you for sharing & watching :)

[@JoelRatman]

A great video, especially as you show what can be done without a oblique holder which so many tutorials strongly insist is necessary. Cheers.

[@ntmn8444]

Yes!!!

[@schrodingerscat1863]

Good point, normally you only see left handers using a straight holder and all right handers using oblique.

[@vikrang]

​​​@@schrodingerscat1863 normally there would be a natural tilt towards the left for right handers around 75 -80 deg ...very difficult to write at 90 deg 😮..what exactly is your observation if I may ask?

[@Geneiveve]

I love your strokes. They are so airy, light and elegant . I write so hard and I am working on loosening up my hand.

[@sheilakingsley3940]

You write beautifully and seemingly effortlessly. I am just starting to learn calligraphy writing and hope to someday be able to create such beautiful work. You are an inspiration!

[@DodoKresse]

A wonderful tutorial! Also the speaker is very gentle and full of humor. I like the copperplate and I'm learning it. thank you for your tipps !

[@DB-cx6cb]

Absolutely beautiful!❤A beginner, what type pen, paper and guide and where to find? So enjoy watching such penmanship ❤Thanks for sharing! Just subscribed!

[@melissajantzi9581]

I found this extremely relaxing to watch.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you do!! It's even more relaxing to do it your self!!

[@silviobarbierifilho8019]

Delicado e refinado trabalho, meu amigo.Tomei a liberdade de escrever-te em português,pois somos irmãos da mesma língua(sou do Brasil).Admiro muitíssimo a arte caligráfica e tu és um "craque".Parabéns,obrigado por compartilhar generosamente teu conhecimento e um grande abraço d'além mar.

[@maj-lenaskagerlund3118]

Love to listen to the sound of thr nib on the paper, your voice and watch your precise movements. Balm for a stressed out soul ❤

[@heidynavarro187]

Podrá compartir para mi que plumilla usa, se ve pequeña me gustaria conseguirla, ¿donde la encuentro por Amazon?

[@shushup3856]

Beautiful! Also the music is so relaxing I was starting to fall asleep while watching.

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it!! Thank you for watching and don't fall a sleep 😂

[@richardcruz3790]

Your calligraphy is very beautiful and elegant. Thanks for sharing

[@danroseberry]

Thanks, Telmo! i have watched it over and over again. You have such a beautiful alphabet!

[@s.p.1536]

Very beautiful watching the letters emerge. Thank you . How long did it take to gain mastery of this art form?

[@pilotoheli]

Obrigado Telmo. Estou revivendo minha paixão por fountain pens e teu vídeo deu muitas dicas. Não conhecia a caligrafia Copperplate em si e está dando sentido às minhas canetas, em passar tempo de qualidade sem pressa de terminar algo sem perfeição.

[@charlinebosse1099]

This was 6 years ago...but I would appreciate if you could tell me what is the nib you were using. Very beautiful video...and you writting is so perfect!

[@harrismatthewchan3452]

I wonder what nib were you using

[@precilago3352]

Thank you for the lesson From Brazil

[@pecabello]

Gostei muito do teu estilo, super fino e delicado. Podes dispor as plantillas guias para ver a inclinação das letras

La mejor de las letras ♥️

[@mortemoccasus2412]

Watching? His name is Telmo Nunes! The coolest name ever.

[@susanchorbene7358]

Very beautiful writing. My father who has passed on, wrote in a lovely Copperplate hand using Turquoise ink. F was my fav and U my not so nice. His initials were JVF. looked gorgeous when written on letterheads. I rarely see a well written script nowadays. computers have made it difficult for Children to use pens and ink. I would hate to see this practice go out of date. Thank you for your edit.😄

[@silviobarbierifilho8019]

Congratulation, man.You are a very good artist.I Love letters. Tank you very much for tais vídeo.

[@deniseplasse5126]

This is stunning handwriting!

[@TheSmoochy2]

Brilliant and gorgeous lines. Curious what nib are you using, as well as the ink. I goes on so smoothly, and gracefully. Thanks, Bo

[@F22ERaptor]

Awesome video! Thanks for making the effort to show the entire alphabet. I am using this as a guide to write some calligraphy messages myself. :)

[@francisfeys7741]

merveilleux, pourquoi? Parce que nous pouvons l'employé dans notre courrier journalier...Bravo.

[@zaibac7045]

What kind of nib are you using? Thanks

[@chaitanyatembe8379]

can u pls suggest pens for copperplate calligraphy? can u pls send amazon links for copperplate calligraphy pens?

[@SnowPheasant]

This is stinkin' MAJESTIC. You better believe I'll be referring back to this video in the future :)

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Cool bro!! Thanks for watching

[@DBMPenman]

You may also want to check out the zanerian workbook. It has instructions on Engrosser's script (which this is very nearly though the forms are too tall and the ovals are off by a small amount). It'll teach you far more.

[@rubneidelucio4062]

Thank so much for this video Telmo. Your calligraphy is amazing and inspiring. I love it 😍😍

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Glad you like it! Thank you for watching

[@mimihowson9239]

Hi, I know I am 3 years late but I love this video and how relaxing it is. Do you happen to remember what ink you were using?

[@deborabudel4788]

Hello,you write very good. May i know which ink and pen you used?

[@galemckiddy5120]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks!

[@pecabello]

Cara, genial! tens um domínio da técnica impressionante!

[@babyarmy8040]

You are an artist!!!!

[@deldridg]

Thank you so much - the perfect way to escape the crazy world, be present and develop a wonderful skill. You have clearly done this kind of thing before ;-). Thanks to you, tomorrow my family will open the best Christmas Cards ever!! Warm regards and Happy Christmas from Sydney, Australia - Dave

[@Grizzleback07]

2:20 That piece of advise is something I have never heard before and would take some practice to "reprogram" the way you write.

[@Lisaf825]

Are there templates availalble to learn both alphabets?

[@aikelmiranda1126]

What is the nib you are using???

[@jeanettecefre8552]

What is the best way to practice oval consistency? Haven't found a method that helps me to do be consistent.

Beautiful, Amazing writing!! I am getting better at writing my letters...

[@TheSmoochy2]

I love your vidieo. I have been trying to learn this struggling. I now realize I have been doing it all wrong. I have viewed many Vidieo s, taken courses, now I know they have been doing it all wrong. Their are some that are good, but nothing could compare to your Scribe skills of excellence. Do you know anyone you could recommend, or any books , or magazines I could subscribe to? Thanks so much For your video. By the way do you know of any place where I could purchase the Nib 101B you are using. I have been having trouble buying nibs, Seems like the postal system is so slow. Bo.

[@ecgodsmack86]

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Muito obrigadão pelo video! lester, Filipinas 🌴

[@sharonaerneckeaitchison4500]

I could not catch what nib you are using?

[@sumitaroy9892]

Brilliant handwriting

[@thomask6275]

How do you change the thickness of your lines?

[@CalligraphyMasters]

By applying different pressure on the pen ;)

[@thomask6275]

Hmmmm sounds complicated...

[@kaibogart8066]

Tom Kitch You can't do this with all fountain pens or dip pens. You need a pen with a flexible nib, otherwise you run the risk of the tines becoming spread or busted. A nice beginner flex pen would be a noodlers flex pen. They have many to choose from and range from $15 and above.

[@DBMPenman]

The hunt 22b is a flexible dip nib. You will need either a straight holder as he is using or an oblique penholder to write most scripts such as Engrosser's script, "copperplate" (which is never copperplate as it is exclusively done on copper plates), Spencerian (American penmanship), ornamental lettering etc...the best beginner nib to use is a Nikko G or Zebra G nib with any penholder as it is very forgiving and durable enough for heavier hands. To change the thinkness is all about pressure.

[@Lisaf825]

What kind of pen and nib are you using? Is it suitable for beginners?

[@DBMPenman]

He is using a hunt 22b nib which is very unforgiving for beginners as the point is very sharp and it requires a light touch so not the break the nib. A great beginner nib is the Nikko G nib as it is inexpensive, flexible and is far more forgiving to the inexperienced hand so being heavy handed is not to worry. My advice however is not to stay on it for too long as it will give you bad habits. Go in stages e.g. Nikko G until you have a basic understanding of the letter forms of your chosen script and then progress to a Leonard principal EF nib. They are more expensive and far more delicate and easier to break but they are the perfect nib for achieving fine hairlines and large shades. Use these exclusively until you adjust. From there you will be able to use any nib out there.

[@Joe___R]

Your calligraphy looks nice but your camera was focused on your hand instead of the paper the whole time.

Straight pen holder with a pointed nib ;)

Is the official copperplate? I was curious what nib you are using it is quite eloquent? Do you recommend any courses or books? Bo

That dude is good

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Yeap he is!! Thanks for watching bro!

[@DBMPenman]

He is also misleading. It is not copperplate nor is it Engrosser's script. This is more akin to English Roundhand.

[@richardbennett4365]

I was taught Copperplate is only written on copper. This is more correctly, I was instructed, Engrosser's Script.

[@mujahidabbas7429]

I want this writing

[@DBMPenman]

Google English Roundhand.

[@argo4640]

Does every nib scratch SO much? I wanted to try calligraphy but this sound kills my ears

[@CalligraphyMasters]

All piinted nibs scratches on different level, depends also on the paper, but to me that's a satisfying sound

[@argo4640]

@@CalligraphyMasters what nib may be the quietest? What paper may I use? Or simply better would be try a quiet brushpen?

[@zaitokunhashagami6259]

The "Q" looks like a 2 and the "S" looks like the "I"

[@wilhelmgu9078]

It's really beautiful, but not very practical in this modern world, I think

[@CalligraphyMasters]

Well depends on how you live your life ;) For many people it's very very practical ;) #KeepWriting

[@DBMPenman]

Nothing can be more practical than penmanship. It teaches fine motor control and increases the brains ability to process language. Nothing happens in front of a computer.

[@ntmn8444]

@@DBMPenmanexactly. More happens with a stroke of a pen.

[@KRLegion]

Q=2? and Z=z? Is horrible!

[@harjitsingh6542]

Good but not so amazing

[@DBMPenman]

Please rename the title. This is not copperplate. Copperplate is exclusively done when engraving on a thin sheet of copper. The forms are larger and more rounded for that purpose. This is closer to English Roundhand. I can see many areas are improvement but the lettering as quite lovely.
