Introduction to flourishing

[@donna30044]

It feels as though I learned more from these 6 minutes than almost all the hours of other videos I've seen. Gratitude!

[@No_Transitory]

I never knew about hot spots, however armed with this knowledge it will make for more interesting flourishes. It will also make me think a tad bit more about the movement before just scribbling some lines down. Being that youtube and various calligraphy books are my only teachers I found this very informative. I wish you taught classes down here in Jax, Florida

Planning a fl trip next year. In Baton Rouge in Oct/Nov

[@loganxlow]

Thanks for this. Been looking for tips to make your own flourishing technique rather than following a formula. Great explanation of what makes flourishes beautiful and the science behind it.

[@AlexMon]

Thank you for uploading this video, Paul, I loved every second of it!

[@lielpascual2330]

Paul, I was looking at the flourish for the “L”. You described it as a series of ovals. It also struck me that the flourish looked like a conch shell and the golden ratio

Outstanding!

[@TutoTrialClass]

no hablo ingles, soy de chile y amo el graffity, con tus videos saco ideas para graffitear. gracias xD

[@johnbobbitt6470]

Holy shit! Ive never actually met another male calligrapher😳 I wonder how rare it actually is. I guess it might take a unique circumstance for a male to end up with such skills that require so many hours and repetition to perfect artistically. but whatever the cause… that’s cool man.

[@PAScribe]

There are tonnes of male calligraphers!

[@canadaverydry]

Love it! Thank's!

[@harsimransingh3843]

Thanks Paul!! do keep posting such videos helps get the basics right. Would be great if you write a book on such techniques

[@PAScribe]

The book has been out for 3 years now

[@nezahualyaotl4322]

Great and amazing information

[@frakturobsession6044]

am obsessed with your calligraphy I wish you visit Egypt 😭😭😭💔

[@PAScribe]

Jesso Ahmed I love Egypt but sadly I don't think there will be enough students to teach. I have been planning a trip to come teach Ancient Egyptian Script

[@TheJoannaF]

awesome!

[@shahanazsheik2016]

Awesome 🤩

[@naethanpoarts]

Is good posture really needed?

[@PAScribe]

nathan cortez it is for good smooth letters. There is a vid here on Posture.

[@vinayamohan1551]

Thank youuhh...

[@bobbiebrown8898]

Aha! The energy! Thank you so much for the great video. Will you be teaching in the Washington DC area any time?

[@PAScribe]

Bobbie Brown not planning on being there in the immediate future but might do next year.

[@BloodShutEyes1]

Thank you so much! Would you consider one day giving pointers on jow to make a signature? or different styles of signatures? I really need that, and I'd love to hear your input

[@PAScribe]

+_ MyM4 _ A signature is something that is very personal - it is not easy to cover what you can do with it as, invariably, it is based on the writing system you either a) have, and was taught as a child or b) a hand that you adopted as an adult.

[@harataunga21]

Like watching Leonardo,....

[@hershey4079]

Does this only apply to copperplate script or anything else?

[@PAScribe]

Anything else like what?

[@stickfigure9662]

Sit up straight!

[@TheDudeWithDaCowbell]

Do any tattoo artists take your classes?

[@PAScribe]

I have had a few do them but also people wanting to train as tattooists.

[@_GRiM1]

just knowing about hot spots, made me think is a little bit easier to do

[@mehwishkhurshid9757]

Inspire from u...

[@vivaciouslyla9294]

*Keep your head straight*

[@kotorisama3080]

Do you have tips as in 'worksheet' ideas to practice flourishing until your manual comes out? 😁

[@PAScribe]

Kotori Sama sorry I do not. Concentrating on the manual is taking up all of my time. One thing at a time

[@kotorisama3080]

PaulAntonioScribe so, do you think that if I keep doing 'figure 8' flourishing it would help? Also, I started doing calligraphy really young but I stopped for decades and restarting just recently... so the way I hold my pen is like a normal ballpoint pen. I've tried switching the way I hold it, but it's hard to unlearn. Any suggestions? You've been a wonderful mentor for me. Thank you sooo very much for all your replies and videos. Hopefully you'll visit San Francisco soon!!!!!🙏

[@PAScribe]

Kotori Sama unfortunately I do not have time to answer your questions - what you are asking doesn't have a simple answer and would need to see you work to comment correctly, something which I really do not have time at the minute to devote to. Sorry. Just practise slowly and be conscious of smoothness in the writing

[@jimiefoxx]

Thank you this is helpful!! FYI: Stop licking that chalk!!!

[@PAScribe]

Licking the chalk helps it to slow down a bit on the board

[@rojaebrown5136]
