Omg. I finally found someone who’s actually using a calligraphy pen, I just got a set and every single tutorial I find is only using normal pens and I can’t find any using calligraphy pens. Thank you!

[@VivianUang]

You're so welcome!

[@barbaramatthews4921]

A very good tutorial, I have finally found a video that has a really good teacher,and someone that actually uses a proper calligraphy pen, thank you so much for this 😊😊😊

[@dmax64]

This is the closest I've seen on how I learned calligraphy 41 years ago in high school.

[@davidmantooth1285]

This video is worth watching again and again and while doing the drills. Thanks for a good video.

[@robertnelson3672]

Hi there, I enjoyed the video. In the same way that you did the cross bar of the 'T' to give it the correct width before adding the down stroke it's also a good idea to do the down strokes of the 'H' and 'N' at the correct width and then connect them so they aren't too wide or narrow. Looking forward to viewing more.

[@Neearm]

Beautiful work. Thanks.

[@VivianUang]

Thank you!

@@VivianUang Way back in 1968, aged 7, I was taught to write using an italic nib and an ink well. Since then, I've never been able to write decent cursive. Now I'm trying to write a film title in a passable 'Celtic' style. Your video is taking me back there! Thanks again.

[@mattnielsen6793]

Thank you for this video. You are awesome 😊😊

[@apscafe]

Yea right

Thanks for the video! 🤩

[@mengiequirante2460]

I’ll try this style with my broad nib fountain pen

[@shashikantchandanshive8577]

Nice explanation............ But it's not the 45 or 30 degree angle for the thinnest lines....it's somewhere around 60 / 70 degrees slant that most of the calligraphers prefer for Italic

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

i had the book. I bought it about 10 years ago.

[@NodelNeneiya]

Good video and well explained. Just need to put the 'm' before the 'n'. :)

[@VivianUang]

obviously, you had the sound off.

[@gil-juniorriseabovebetraya5972]

Lol it doesnt matter which goes 1st. She can start the alphabet backwards and her point or the point of this video woukd still be the same. She's just showing us how to write every letter leaving it to us to do what we want with these. You can make a poster, a letter, or a poem at the end they will all have the same font or letter shapes and style. And the n being before or after wouldn't change a thing on my spelling lol

[@mgo810]

She clearly states she is purposefully doing the n before m to show that the m is formed by combining 2 n’s. So if you can do n you can do m.

[@MightyMonk360]

@@VivianUang some people have ears but they can’t listen it’s kinda sad if you ask me

[@mengiequirante2460]

😅

[@mengiequirante2460]

I’ve been watching lots of videos on writing yeh last few days. This is my first on your channel. I think I like this style most. I don’t write cursive and I’m most comfortable with broad pens and fountain pens. Will watch more from your channel to learn about this style. Thank you 🙏 Btw, May I suggest to tone down the music a little. Can’t mute coz I won’t hear your instruction.

[@mishazujev31415]

mute the video and turn captions on, that should help ;)

[@alexsantos1881]

Great skill of calligraphic writing, my question is" must I use a specific or special pen like yours to learn the calligraphic handwriting??

[@VivianUang]

Yes, for Italic hand you'd need a broad edge calligraphy pen.

[@diyhafriendship244]

Well done

[@VivianUang]

Thank you!

[@slim697]

Is the appearance of one letter always the same regardless of the letter that follows it? Or does its own font change according to the alphabet before and after?

[@alexsantos1881]

[@VivianUang]

You can wash it with soap and water, the important thing is that you dry them completely after cleaning to prevent rusting!

Should I be practicing with markers before I even go and get the supplies. Will markers work properly to learn??

[@VivianUang]

I am not sure what type of marker you are talking about, but I have another video explaining the different calligraphy pens you can check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npiXeWumh9qjpMU

[@yellaturnagamaheswaraiah6638]

Thanks Madam

[@solomonliu7354]

bro where's uppercase E?

[@thietsen]

what’s the difference in origin of Fomata form and Corsiva form?

[@VivianUang]

well, those are two very broad and vague terms. Formata and Corsiva are the Italian words for Form and Cursive. And to talk about the difference can easily turn into a book... :D

[@lorigallegos8074]

Forgot the large E

[@gaidhliglass]

It's like the F, except you add the bottom line to the same length as the top line. E

[@imranraja2745]

In the alphabet M comes before N. You have wrote the N before the M.

[@kathmilne19]

where did you get the pen you are using from please? I suffer with RSI and that looks like an ergonomic type design

[@LoveAllReality]

That index finger, hurts to look at how tight it is! My issue is ink flow, which is perfect with pointer pens, but way too generous with broad tips. Any tips?

[@VivianUang]

lol, my mom said the same thing about my finger, but it's just how my finger bent naturally. Regarding the ink flow issue, here are things you can try: 1. Prop up your writing surface so you are writing on a slight slope/angle 2. Try a different ink 3. add gum arabic to your ink to adjust the viscosity I hope these help!

How can or where can i get that calligraphy pen and what it is called? Is it in 1 set or i have to buy it separate?

I can't find it. I type that and it gives me other type of bibs. Is on Amazon or what website?

[@_the_artist_2081]

Can you say which calligraphy pen are you using in this video

[@VivianUang]

Supply links are in the description.

[@wieza771]

How tall should letters Be? How many width of a nib?

[@VivianUang]

That is explained in the guide sheet video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5vRd42JfK2Yi5Y

[@inderiaharvey475]

Can regular Acrylic / water paint can be used

[@void0702]

I've tried. It doesn't work. Acrylic is too thick by itself, and watering it down makes it lose a lot of it's opacity and color. Can also ruin your pen too if you don't clean it soon enough. I learned the hard way lol.

[@rafiqulislam-xz3og]

What is your pen name

[@bhalaramdewasi1956]

I not have a handwriting book

[@jessicacollins8049]

Can you use sumi ink?

[@VivianUang]

Yes, the benefit of using a nib pen is that you can try out different ink. You might need to add some water to dilute it a little so it flows better, I found sumi ink a little too thick. Just make sure you wash the nib afterward. Check out this video for more explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5vRd42JfK2Yi5Y

In Italy that writing is not called "italic" (italico?) but "corsivo" and it's not common.

[@Bandicoot_Power]

La calligrafia Italica è uno stile semi corsivo inventato in Italia durante il rinascimento, il corsivo è un'altra cosa...

[@lucaschiantodipepe2015]

@@Bandicoot_Power no, si dice "sul giornale di oggi c'era un corsivo di..." proprio per intendere quel carattere che gli inglesi chiamano italico.
