Copperplate Capital D Decorations and Variations

[@marianl8718]

Your words at the end of the video, "I'm tired", reminded me of Rousseau words from the end of his masterpiece "Émile or about education": "I have reached the end and my feather is tired". The page with the letter D that you showed us is also a small masterpiece ! Thank you and I will continue to improve myself ! Greetings from Romania !

I am glad you liked it. Writing that many variations and balancing them was taxing. I remember it even now.

[@miguelrotaeche8582]

Thank you for recording the noise the nib makes when sliding on the paper. It is mesmerizing.

[@PaulBrennan.]

Paul makes it look so effortless

[@udtasm5asm760]

What a creative mind...

[@r.mercado9737]

Absolutely beautiful PaulAntonio!

[@begbrook123]

Even your basic letters look so elegant. You make it look soooo easy but that’s the mark of an expert. This type of video is useful to me because it just shows what can be achieved with a bit of artistic thought....there are ideas here I would never dream of! Just want to say thanks 😀

[@evelynwald9132]

Thank you for this. I have struggled with my D's and I knew that something was not quite right with them, but you helped me to look at the individual elements of my letter. At least I know the why's, now if I can get my hand, eye and pen to cooperate all the same time.... :)

Evelyn Wald download the grids at PAScribe.us they will really help

[@galedar1537]

You are such an inspiration! I greatly appreciate your videos as I learn so much from them, and my motivation to practice more is always renewed. I just purchased your book and can't wait to get my hands on it! THANKS A MILLION......

[@udinosama]

wow Thank you for the awesome video. Loved it. Gave me inspiration to work on my letter D. Though i thought i saw a decorative fraktur D at the bottom of the page on the instagram photo... was excited to watch that too... but it wasnt included.

[@PAScribe]

+Muhammad Khairudin Bin Nordin thanks so much. Unfortunately we can film everything or we will never get any work done in the studio

[@galedar1537]

Paul, do you come to the US to do workshops? If so, where and when?

[@PAScribe]

Gale McK I was just in Dallas. Back in November. But open workshop in February

[@galedar1537]

Paul, do you prefer black gouache to ink? Do you have a favorite brand of gouache (and ink if you use it?) Thanks so much for these videos, as they are so helpful and very inspirational.

[@PAScribe]

i love gouache. it has texture which assists the nib in not slipping on the paper. Ink is good for quick work. Glad you like the vids

[@mickscrafts]

Love this! Now can you do B, please? Thank you.

[@bmall1656]

May I ask what type of paper are you using?

[@PAScribe]

+Beth Ann Mallon just added the comments

[@bmall1656]

+PaulAntonioScribe I just saw that. Thank you. What do you use under the paper you are writing on that you have taped up?

[@fiorebanfi1285]

[@dklectic]

IM YOUUUUR BIGGGGGGG FAN👍🏻

[@mohammednazeer1621]

Nice

[@garrylauplus]

hi Antonio, would you please suggest some of the dip pen nib to me as i found difficult to draw very fine line like you, thank you

[@PAScribe]

garry lau you should try to get a gillott 303 or a hunt 22b

[@walevan1]

What nib you are using in this video may I ask?

[@PAScribe]

Photopathway it looks like a hunt 22b

[@dkastner]

Where can you buy GFSmith Colorplan paper? I've never heard of it.

[@PAScribe]

david kastner it is sold in the UK

[@judihopewell7148]

It would be helpful if on every instruction you tell the viewer which nib you are using, please.

[@kotorisama3080]

Would you consider doing the whole alphabet?😁 they're all so beautiful!!!!

[@PAScribe]

Kotori Sama that is for a later date. Each page took so much time to do as all the letters needed to be researched historically, then practised, then filmed (usually a few times). I am working on a project, after the manual is released which will should the whole alphabet but you may have to wait for a year for that.

[@kotorisama3080]

PaulAntonioScribe I understand 😊 it's just THEYRE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!😍

[@tsusec]

I needed to get into the see what I was doing. This was before I worked out the best way to film my content.
