My wife and I were looking for instructional videos on using the Pilot Parallel pen. Then we quite serendipitously came across your A-F video and were absolutely transfixed by your skill and the accompanying music overlay. This may sound crazy, but we've played it about five times so far in the last two days. Thanks so much for sharing your composition for us. We are now moving on to G-O and P-Z. Thanks! : )

[@Uvulus1]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much! :)

[@danielbae3113]

This is absolutely beautiful. Seriously, mad props to you for all the amazing work you've done. I think I'm going to use your font for some of my own work (I'm still learning, but seeing you do all of this makes it worthwhile), and I hope I can make my own unique font in the future. Keep doing what you do, you're awesome!

I have learned to write with the nib when i was in elementary school, loong time ago. It is a very valuable skill, not only for writing, but also for painting adn any other crafting. We should teach our children to use the nib and ink, before starting to use the biro. You are very good at what you are doing here. I think though, you may hold the pen to hard, the fingers a re to tight. Think of holding a very small bird... the fingers should not loos colour, i mean the falangette are becoming white, they should not. Try, you will not get tired, and you will be more relaxed in the writing. :D I love you Art, you are great.

[@Uvulus1]

Thank you very much. :) I know that I hold my pens in a unconventional manner and that my grip is way too hard. It's a difficult habit to break after holding a pen this way for 40 plus years. :) I appreciate your advice. Thanks. I am working on modifying my grip though. We'll see how that goes.

[@MrsAntilope]

Your Art is wonderful I love it, and the hand is steady, which is the man thing. :D ciao and thank you so much for posting your videos.

[@sukilu1964]

Beautiful stuff, love it. How long does it take you to design a new font? I assume its an iterative process, do you take it as far as you can and then move onto a new one? As always, thanks for sharing.

[@Uvulus1]

sukilu1964 This one started with a pencil sketch of a V. I liked how that turned out so I decided to work on the whole letter set. I've been working on this one for a few weeks off and on. I'm sure I'll continue to modify it as well. :)

Renata Suprayogi I'll see what I can do. :) I don't do much traditional calligraphy but the basics of how to do it are pretty much the same.

[@dawoudrama108]

crazy letterstyles im from the graffiti zone but these thin line which explodes in bride blocks are pretty as shit very good

[@Uvulus1]

Thank you.

[@kevin6596]

Wow.

[@Uvulus1]

Thanks!

[@fludrbywest3886]

I have been practicing this alphabet you draw, do you have any pointers for your feet on your letters? I need a little help on how to accomplish these , the bottoms of the letters I am calling the feet, like little pixi toe shoes. Very elegant .

[@akiforen2862]

HARİKA Bİ STİL... (TÜRKÇE OLARAK Bİ açıklama yapılabilirmi ? hangi stil ve tam olarak görülebilinme imkanı varmı?)

[@audreymcknight]

Is this pen one you have to dip in in ink? If not, was that the original color included in the pen?

[@Uvulus1]

+Audrey McKnight This pen uses cartridges (which you can refill). It comes with one black and one red.

[@Nccp9]

what kind of paper do you use? i have extremely smooth kind that ive been using but this one looks rougher and might work better

[@Uvulus1]

I mostly use Canson mix-media paper and Strathmore drawing paper.

[@PazioArts]

Nice Video =)

[@Uvulus1]

+Patrik Arts Thank you. :)

[@clowellz-4755]

Hi 😁 I'm a 16 year old who just got the pilot parallel pen, and your videos have helped me a lot. Any advice to beginners? Also, I'm left handed so it's kinda hard to avoid smudging everything 😔 anyway, I love your work, and hopefully, I'll be able to be as good as you someday 😁

[@Uvulus1]

I'm glad you like the videos and that they are helpful for you. :) Keep practicing! :) There are some good videos on KZbin about left handed calligraphy that may help you with technique. The best advice I have is to practice and write every day. I always have a sketchpad with me and at least one pen.

[@Sergeantpaprika]

oh. my god.

[@trus_kawa]

This is very beautiful! My questions are: What font is it? Can you show us how looks this letters without caps? I would appreciate if you answer.

[@Uvulus1]

+Kamila M Not a font. My own design. I'm working on a lower case version as well.

[@frakturobsession6044]

wow I loved it, I am ordering this pen from amazon but If you please tell me which ink is good for pilot parallel that doesn't clog the nib, coz the ink that comes with it seems runny and transparent

[@Uvulus1]

Inks designed for fountain pens work best. Gouletpens.com has a lot of ink samples available on their site. I would also look up reviews of specific inks that you are interested in and see how they perform.

[@strachinariuciprian9721]

You are very talented. Could you please give me an advice? How can I get paid for doing this? What did you study? You are my inspiration and i admire you.

[@Uvulus1]

+Strachinariu Ciprian Thank you. I don't really get paid for doing this yet so I don't think I'll be much help to you there. I studied design a bit in college. Mostly I study on my own, practicing different ways to write until I come up with something that I like. Thanks again.

[@strachinariuciprian9721]

I feel very honored that you replied to me. Do you have everything planned before making the videos or do you make everything up at the moment? Also, don't you get tired of it sometimes> I feel very bad rith now when I try to write. Can I send you something for you to tell me what I do wrong? I write anything you want :D Thank you for replying and for existing again.

[@Uvulus1]

+Strachinariu Ciprian I usually have practiced what I want to write a few times before filming. Yes, I get tired and burnt out sometimes (probably why there hasn't been a new video lately). Even when I'm not feeling very good about my writing, I continue to practice writing every day though.

[@strachinariuciprian9721]

I know it may be a little too much to ask but could you tell me a day and an hour when we could talk? I'll be here whenever you want. I really really wish I could ask you some questions. I can't understand why you have so little views. Your capodoperas are exctly what I've been looking for for the last two years. Please apologise me for being so annoying.

[@Uvulus1]

+Strachinariu Ciprian No worries. You're not being annoying. I appreciate the comments. :) You can ask whatever questions you like here and I'll answer the best that I can.

[@danijeltrs8688]

Really nice video...congrats! Could you just explain how you created last move for letter A? What do you do with pen to have those subtile curvatures? The same move you used 3 times in this letter. Thanks!

[@Uvulus1]

+Danijel Trs Turn the pen up onto the corner of the nib as you make the curve. It takes a bit of practice.

[@reshad80]

Amazing! I just got myself a set of parallel pens. What is a good starting point to learn modern calligraphy? Also what paper would you recommend?

[@Uvulus1]

Reshad Hurree Thanks. I started by looking at the work of other modern calligraphers and calligraffiti artists to get an idea how to use the tools. Then it's tons of practice. :) Mixed-media papers, watercolor paper, and marker papers work really well.

[@reshad80]

***** Thanks! I'll get practicing.

[@stulebeau7293]

Reshad Hurree A good marker paper that prevents bleeding like a Copic Sketchbook is perfect for this ink and the parallel pens: amzn.to/1Hgzdaj

[@reshad80]

Stu LeBeau Thanks Stu, added to my cart!

[@2706andreas]

i am thinking to start ''riding'' calligraphy but i dont know what pens to buy do you have any suggestion what pens i should buy? by the way that looks incredible!! (sorry if my english is bad)

[@Uvulus1]

+Andreas Rahbek Gyllensten You can get one of the Parallel pens to start out with or you could go with one of the disposable type markers for calligraphy.

[@2706andreas]

+Uvulus thanks for the answer I will look into it😂👍

[@JackCarlisleOfficial]

If using the same pen but the ink seems to gush out way to fast giving me gross looking lines

[@Uvulus1]

It's hard to say what might be causing this without knowing what type or ink and paper you are using. It could be the paper that you are using if you are getting a lot of feathering.

[@masonrareshide9393]

Could you please, please, please do the lowercase ones too?

[@Uvulus1]

Mason Rareshide Yes, I am working on those as well.

[@bryanjernigan]

Thank you for inspiring me to do calligraphy again. The art of penmanship is dying...

[@Uvulus1]

+Bryan Jernigan My pleasure. :)

[@JonnieQuestsStars]

Are you using pilot refills for ink? What kind of paper?

[@Uvulus1]

No, I use fountain pen inks or liquid watercolor for refills. Paper is usually strathmore drawing paper or watercolor paper.

[@davxverythings1698]

Bro i like to change inks frequently in my pens (color addict) is it simple like dip pens or i have to open and clean the pen every time i try a new color in my pen?plz reply!

[@Uvulus1]

You can use them like dip pens. It's a good way to mix colors, actually. I don't usually clean them every time unless I'm changing colors. I clean them once a week or so otherwise.

[@davxverythings1698]

Can you please make a video on broad edge dip pens vs pilot parallel pen?? Comparing thm...pros and cons....etc?

[@A0Zall]

Hey man I'm telling you license this font under your name. Just in case it gets really famous among other artists then people would know whom to thank (: also what's the brand of the ink you're using?

[@Uvulus1]

+A0Z Not a bad idea, thanks. :) I'm using Noodler's ink here.

[@A0Zall]

+Uvulus thank you. also, when are you posting the small version? I've done my waiting man!

[@bubblebass4202]

Can you refill it with tattoo ink instead of regular fountain pen ink because tattoo ink is more thin

[@Uvulus1]

+Malcolm 1446 I'm not sure how well tattoo ink will work. I have not used it before. I general, highly pigmented inks tend to clog the nib.

[@bubblebass4202]

+Uvulus oh ok thank you :)

[@ThaCmaro]

Could you tell me how this style is called? Is it gothic style? I just started and want to go deeper into calligraphy and calligraffiti. :) Big inspiration right here!

[@Uvulus1]

+M.T. B. Thank you! It's my own style but it's very loosely based on Gothic and black-letter styles.

[@A0Zall]

what is "noodlers esenin" exactly? couldn't find it anywhere.

[@Uvulus1]

+A0Z I got it from gouletpens.com but it looks like it may no longer be available.

[@jeramelmadriaga9142]

What paper did you use?

[@rajabivaniya]

U wrote A and F in rows?

[@taknie3934]

Nice one, You created this letter style?

[@Uvulus1]

Thank you. Yes, it's my own style.

[@taknie3934]

***** nice one man!

[@maltharius]

What's your ratio for ink/water when you mix them?

[@Uvulus1]

***** It varies. In this case it's about 30% water in the cartridge.

[@maltharius]

Thanks. I like the 'watercolor' effect with the ink and was going to try it.

[@Uvulus1]

You can also use the ink at full strength and dip the pen in water to get a similar effect.

[@yogesheena]

how about sharing the alphabets after F... this is call god gifted talent ....

[@Uvulus1]

yogesh bhavsar Working on it. I split up the videos to keep it from being unreasonably long.

[@yogesheena]

agreed , but to be honest its beautiful... even i own those parallel pens, and i a zero in calligraphy, can you guide me which script, where to start with...

[@Uvulus1]

I just started writing whatever with them to get used to them. Then I started learning Fraktur and italic (which I'm horrible at) and kept going from there. /r/calligraffiti on reddit has a word of the day that I did every day for about a year. Got lots of practice doing that.

[@yogesheena]

thanks for the reply , where can i get the enough material to practice for italic and fraktur. and what is /r/calligraffiti reddit

[@Uvulus1]

There are a few books out there with numerous calligraphy alphabets. The Calligrapher's Bible is pretty good. Google image search is great for finding examples. www.reddit.com/r/calligraffiti is the address. A word of caution though, you may or may not like reddit, it can get pretty weird there. The calligraffiti and calligraphy subreddits are pretty good though. If you have a Facebook account, there are quite a few people there worth following.

[@chinmeiyee7238]

May I know how much did u paid to purchase on a single pilot parallel pen?

[@Uvulus1]

+Chin Mei Yee I've paid between $10 to $12 dollars each for the pens. Amazon currently has the set of four pens on sale for $25.50.

[@sachalanci8241]

sorry, which paper you use for parallel pen?

[@Uvulus1]

+sacha lanci Canson Mix-Media paper usually

[@devilscae]

what kind of paper you have to use? name? thanks

[@Uvulus1]

+enzo sca I'm using a Canson mix-media paper sketchpad in this video.

[@BreakerofCha1ns]

How did you mix your own inks with this pen?

[@Uvulus1]

+Adam Rahmani I mix the inks as I fill the cartridge. This one is about a quarter full of water, fill almost to the top with Apache Sunset and then add a few drops of Esenin.

[@buddy3535]

hey could you possibly post pics of this alphabet on reddit? id llike to learn these but its easier to look at a still picture and copy them. thanks!

[@Uvulus1]

Buddy Ovanic Yeah. Going to post something in the next day or so. :)

Those are really a porn for my eyes. You are doing a great job but I just don't get it, some people gets 3 million views by only drawing logos and you get 27.000. it's not fair dude.
