How to Write Copperplate

[@EreshChen]

I can't believe I spent nearly 7 and half minutes watching someone write the word "Flourishing", but it is refreshing to see someone who still sees writing as an art that should be refined.

[@claudiotartagni9898]

Yes me to...so beautiful

[@apscafe]

Great opinion

[@walterwjr947]

It was not "writing", it was drawing a beautiful picture, to be enjoyed by many, not read by one person or maybe three. Look at all of the strokes. The pen is a paint brush. Think of the artist intent. I am sure the artist knows how to "write".

[@MrTerminalZ]

I can't even type that good

[@PopsiquL]

hahahaha

[@lukeallen5282]

Lol

[@imaanyahmed6854]

lol

[@jaleelkhan5242]

What a wonderful calligraphy,I wish I could write this beautiful. Thanks

[@jasn5754]

So annoying when you're trying to do some difficult calligraphy and someone keeps playing the bloody piano right behind you.

[@Tobberz]

Lol!

[@gabrielmendez4349]

It's complementary to writing exquisite calligraphy. ;)

[@tomb-rider]

Piano? What piano?! There is no piano here.

[@TT-fn1xb]

😂😂

[@casocraft4740]

You can also learn calligraphy. Just watch this one video, it will definitely be useful for you... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iImnZmttrs5_ptk

[@shtoink2u2]

Elegant, "fancy" writing is a lost art. To many of us are lost in email. I find it truly fascinating. There is no other way to really send a message to some one you love and communicate a truly personal message. By doing this it really say's you care.

[@jenniferdavitt7481]

not a lost art.. the amount of calligraphy sets and pieces that sell in some art stores are a lot!

[@yagsta8430]

+Jeffrey Barber i think u like doodling, do check out my channel too, i just started, please tell me what should i do next

[@ManzGames]

+Yagsta you're pathetic, not even desperate channels ask for views anymore.

[@Alfa_BJJ7]

I agree

[@yasijasi7391]

I'm weird because I have natural fancy writing😂. Sometimes I'm made fun of because some people can't read it. But others love it and so do I. Especially as I'm left handed.

[@TheFlightAce]

Isn't this what we should have been doing in our "language arts" classes?

[@Mabii01]

I wish we did do this in art

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

No because, like every world leader and their parties say, "a smart, talented person doesn't make a good slave...erm...worker."

[@AlmostLeroy]

(ノóωò)ノ ✩much-wow✩ Who has ever said that?

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

AlmostLeroy Every world leader ever and their parties...

[@RandomPersonVEVO]

For some reason this is mesmerizing.

[@claired6400]

Can't believe how relaxing it is to watch this..

[@stevienicked]

Beautiful ! That's how my late grandfather wrote. He was born before 1900. Apart from yours here, his handwiting was the most beautiful I've ever seen anyone doing. Thank you for posting the video.

[@Leewee7100]

I watch this over and over again because I find it so soothing . . .

[@Estrategista29]

That feeling is called "ASMR", look it up later.

[@charlietaters6]

I've been in love with calligraphy ever since I discovered it in a high school art class...also studied it in college and taught classes for many years. I found this absolutely mesmerizing to watch, and with the added background music it was actually therapeutic...I feel refreshed! Copperplate has always been a challenge to me, but this video has motivated me to keep trying and perfecting it!

[@Sepiafluxx]

and then his hand slips and he smudges the whole thing

[@levmyshkin8366]

+Panda Possum the amount of times I actually do that is unreal

[@franchezcavictorino]

The real struggle of left-handed people. 😅

[@lislieloureco5398]

[@franchezcavictorino]

***** What???

[@kalpnasaxena9112]

Pig Dragon instagram, much?

[@JIYkp]

The music and the visuals made me feel like I was watching melodramatic scene from a 90s anime. I'm not sure why.

[@Desertdolphin43]

Juil i got the same vibe. like clannad

[@joenax777]

This reminds me of sponge bob when he was writing the essay

[@StonedPeasants]

You.

[@therockvshulkhogan]

Yes!!!!

[@air_preep]

...THE...

[@naminova]

There is something really comforting about the soft music and the elegant lines.

[@mg42sd]

This is not a handwriting. This is an ART! Beautiful!

[@braydenh7644]

I mean not figuratively

[@MarineChaps]

Music and lettering are absolutely beautiful!

[@SucoVidya]

This is like watching Graffiti for law abiding citizens

[@adrianb990]

Right. Lol. The energy is same same

[@GusTheAnt]

I can't begin to comprehend the amount of practice and patience you have had over the (I'm sure what is) years of learning how to do this properly.

[@DSteez]

Hmmm... not really much of a "How to", more of a "Watch me".

[@mario712145]

+D Steez I guess, but what would you expect him to say that you couldn't already figure out just by watching?

[@yagsta8430]

+D Steez i think u like doodling, do check out my channel too, i just started, please tell me what should i do next

[@wellknownplayer5646]

I think so too

[@TheOgo1971]

True story..

[@peterney2402]

you learn by observing

[@ciscoponch67]

Very beautiful, Mr. Ebrahimi! I never knew you could apply that much pressure. And it's intersting how the nib splits enough to outline the next curvel. Fantastic! Thank you!

[@faeleia]

This is my 10th time watching this. I use it as motivation to tell myself 1 stroke perfect curves ARE possible.

[@cadmarbusinesssuite9155]

Beautiful. I could watch this a thousand times.

[@NoName-es1mk]

7 minutes, one word.

[@sarahfortaneh3698]

One friggin beautiful word

[@NoName-es1mk]

Sarah Fortaneh Hell yeah.

[@sarahfortaneh3698]

[@madtequ]

imagine him making a spelling mistake at the end :))))

[@jakobytheconquerer]

[@adjoabaidoo6545]

This man must be so patient with the things he does. This is amazing! Thank you

[@01rai01]

thats a hell of an F, puts my F's to shame

[@twocentsopinion]

I was holding my breath as you were doing it...simply stunning

[@angelloredo1276]

The song in the background is Yanni Whispers in the Dark

[@ThatOldBiddy]

I find it a wonderful experience to watch you write. Please continue to be encouraged to produce more videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@PlayThatVlog]

this was mesmorising, i swear i didn't blink for the whole video, hypnotising :)

[@jonny4563]

I agree, it was quite hypnotizing. I could watch him write more and with the music could put me to sleep (in a good way).

[@Hey9846]

Mesmerizing ******* omg

[@PlayThatVlog]

whoops just realised my mistake *mesmerising

[@anitataco6488]

Stunning, I am speechless! Such perfection! I hope to be as marvelous as you are some day!! (After many hours more of prqctice!!) Perfection! Complete perfection! I could watch this over and over again! Thank you for sharing this, truly!!

[@Desuxis]

I love how the ink shines *^**

[@DreamzEtCetera]

Stunning...sheer perfection! I wish I had time to learn this art form! You do truly beautiful work!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@JustAGiraffe]

I just watched a person write one single word over the course of 7+ minutes I'm going to go contemplate life now.

[@MrStrongmuscle]

HAHA, we just are not used to seeing something like this because we have forgotten the old ways. A few more generations and a handful of people are going to be the only ones that remember this.

[@1S1NGG8]

Does anyone else but me find this really relaxing to watch? Especially with the music

[@MelePaasi]

Plot twist: he's left handed and smudges all the ink haha

[@HajraMeeks]

melissa Pallasigui I'm left handed, too, and for calligraphy class I just ended up turning my paper upside down, and it worked just fine, but I don't know how many other lefties do this for calligraphy...maybe I'm just even weirder than I thought.

[@gggamer4518]

I am left handed and left handed people are in the rite mined.

[@rasrajartsandcalligraphy]

OMG. Unbelievable. The amount of control on your hand is Amazing. Do not know how many times i m watching this, but every time at the end of the video i wish to write something but ...no words to describe. Found very valm, soothing. Thank you very much. Hats off. You got a new friend. Subscribed.

[@ryannguyen1709]

such lovely music ☕🎵

[@ivett.e]

I always wanted to do this growing up!! It's such a beautiful art. Great video

[@apscafe]

Brilliant

[@lo.volume]

Imagine going through all this work then realizing at the end that you spelt the word wrong

[@agasaejjangikonic4918]

lol...i lost my word *flip table

[@lo.volume]

***** Both work, actually! :DD

[@ayyylmao]

+Timothy Perdue spelt is used commonly outside of the US like in the UK. they're both correct.

[@kennygo8423]

Imagine also when the last letter would not fit in, coz the paper has no more space 😂

[@alihammadshah]

Setting aside the outcome for a minute. I think THE PROCESS itself is therapeutic for the artist.

[@oswaldoculo]

This video was in my "Watch later" playlist for a long time...idk for how long tbh but I know I've been having it recommended by KZbin many times since forever...and today I finally watched it

[@RedStingBlogs]

Very, very beautiful and some of the people commenting are full of some good knowledge! This is a whole new world I've taken a peak into and it is beautiful! My hand writing is soo bloody ugly lol

[@captainm7722]

Practice. Find a way you want to write and practice. Write everything. Write until your hand won't unfold. Write until the pain is so agonizing you can't help but fall in love with it, crave it. Then, like most of us, you'll be halfway decent at it, and it'll be a bittersweet lust.

[@RedStingBlogs]

Thanks for the advice! Blessings

[@raymondvincent2017]

same here my handwriting is terrible,this is a remarkable skill.

[@axiomist1076]

RedStingBlogs Your handwriting will improve if you practice. If you really want to it'll even become beautiful. It's all up to you. I was fortunate to be born at the right time and was taught the Palmer Method in the fourth grade. I had beautiful handwriting by the time I was 11. With time I evolved my own style but if I want to I can still write a perfect Palmer style. You can do the same . It's a shame that they no longer teach handwriting in schools. That's a step down. When I went to school we considered writing in print "kid handwriting". Then the time would come to learn "grownup" style. You can find books that will show you how to learn to write with a fine hand.There are also many vids. here to keep you interested. Go for it. It's worth it.

[@RedStingBlogs]

Thank you for the encouragement, I have actually started drawing in my spare time and may finally give my chicken scratch writing another boost :D All the best with you and your fab penmanship

[@LegadosCulturales]

Beautiful. The music, the letter, everything.

[@Mr88Andrew88]

In your next video can you stay inside the lines on a colouring book?

[@asifafridi5433]

I think its amazing how you spent 7 minutes just writing one word... and how nice it came out!

[@Jack.Strait]

For 80% of the video, I'm trying to figure out what letter your writing. For quite a while, I was not seeing an F.

[@johncharleslee7986]

+Jack Strait he's doing a word called "Flourishing " !

[@Jack.Strait]

Johncharles Lee Yeah, I eventually figured that out.

[@hannahjanealolor8425]

dude .. cursive..

[@ajsiemers]

@@Jack.Strait you don't read titles, you like the challenge of figuring it out for yourself? 😆

[@CarolynFahm]

Absolutely magnificent. Your artistry is a beautiful thing to behold.

Iran is known for its masters of Arabic calligraphy...they produced astonishingly mesmerizing works of art.. If you don't understand Arabic, you can't miss the beauty and mysticism in Arabic calligraphy.

[@swagman9203]

It amazes me how many people are asking about the pen/nib! It's the skill, control, dedication and many hours of practise that Hamid Reza Ebrahimi puts in that gets beauty like this. The pen only does what it is made to do by the writer.This is true penmanship at it's best, well done +Hamid Reza Ebrahimi.

[@lilfamine5393]

Why the fuck am I watching this lmao

[@digitalfrank3457]

ikr. i think something about writing was in my recommendation and got here

[@Kaoji]

Such beautiful work, your effort and mastery is awe inspiring. I look forward to someday being able to write like this.

[@anthonywright2489]

I have just sat here, watching a man write a single word, for seven minutes.

[@SmurfWAYZPeyoKids]

That was legit amazing, as a tattoo artist lettering is one of thee hardest forms of art to perfect. Love this clip

[@scrappeyquilter4237]

Nib is Brause & Co. No. 86 using Persian Traditional Black Calligraphy Ink and a Brause marbled penholder, Persian Leather pasteboard and Steinbach pasteboard. I'm surprised that the artist pushed his pen to the left and upward on the paper to get the effects he got. Typically, this will deeply scratch or even tear the paper. Sometimes the nib will skip, leaving blobs of ink on your page. Traditional calligraphers will tell you to only pull downward and push to the right when writing. Never go upward or against the natural flow of the nib's surface. This artist has defeated that issue. Very nice work.

[@faeleia]

Oh thank you! I think your information might have gotten lost among the comments, let me thumb this up in hopes it may get spotted again :)

[@claudettethomas5921]

Lovely calm wonderful music. At 1-0am your work relaxed me. thankyou

I would love to learn Spencerian Script. So elegant yet with an enterprising sense about it. I guess this is because of its use during the economic glory days of the late 19th/early 20th centuries

[@debimason5031]

Pure beauty ~ thank you for posting such a beautiful video! I am trying to practice and learn. Beautiful video!

[@Galivantin]

what is the angle you are using on your grid paper and on your folding pen. I absolutely love this style of Calligraphy but when I do it, it looks like crap! lol

[@ismaelelouahabi4130]

45° , i think

[@swagman9203]

If I'm not mistaken Copperplate is usually written at an angle of 55°. He has a book you can buy, I can highly recommend it.

[@advingan]

Try fable cartel. They have pen for lefty. But not calligraphy pen. Fountain pens.

[@Jeyricho]

+Rafael Borges Grab a number 2 pencil, put it in your right hand, and draw millions of cursive letters until you're proficient. Being a righty and natural at cursive doesn't mean a calligraphy artist needs to work any less at his art than the next guy. Calligraphy takes years of dedication and practice to make it as effortless as this guy in the video makes it seem, for both left hand AND right handed
