A Calligraphy Clip in Gothic Style

Writing the word "Gothic"

[@SirGroove]

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

[@TheRanblingjohnny]

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

[@arcenox]

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.

Correction: he has three hands, diddnt you know ?

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.

[@Karina-gf8vx]

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

[@sleeplessdoe2097]

This is so soothing to my perfectionist soul.

i love this.. its so calming

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.

[@charandeep1000]

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.

[@alyctus]

this perfection is hypnotizing

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

[@anjelikarodis5315]

If you take calligraphy as a serious practice your wrist is holy and it should be canonized by the Vatican.

[@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.

[@Car63636]

You only need the same pen nib and the rest is only possible practicing

[@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]

+Alex Stas ok thanks for your expert analysis...

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.

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

[@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper]

I17. I wrote with my left hand when I was a child/teen, but, when I was 19 years old, I watched a video by Nan Jay Batchowski, a handwriting expert, and she stated that it’s difficult to hold a writing utensil with your left hand. I tried writing with my right hand, and it was difficult at first, but, as the days passed by, I got better, so now I am ambidextrous. You can do it too, it just takes time and practice.
