I am a person who is hard to be impressed, but this video reduced me to ashes, calligraphy is a very noble art that could transfer so many things withing, I am starting into this art, and hopefully someday will achieve the 1% of this master gifted hand ability.
This is what captivates me. The more elagant, the better. The more complex and tricky to draw....Ill be more in depth with the amazing cursive lettering art!!
Yes I did, and always do. But I'm self-educated, learning by reading, watching and talking to other handwriting people. There was no such subject in school. Cheers, Frank
Beautiful. Man, I wish I could do that...everytime I try to use a pointed nib, I get blobs and bombs of ink flooding out. You had a few wet lines, but it only added to the beauty of your work. Mine...not so much. LOL! Anyway, thanks for posting this. Beautiful copperplate design and execution, and a wonder to behold.
I couldn't tell where to buy things like these. It's self-made from a piece of plastic, very simple and easy to do. Also cheap ;) Have a nice weekend. Frank
Thank you. New (or unused) nibs are covered with an oil film on which ink rolls off like mercury. Flaming (for 2 or 3 seconds) cleans all oil and fat from the metal surface and after that ink runs properly. Regards, Frank
Thank you for your question. I "use" a great cameraman with a steady hand. His name is Steffen Padelt. Sometimes - only sometimes - he uses a tripod. That's it. Cheers. Frank
@hmpeter Danke. Es handelt sich um gewöhnliche Pelikan-Tinte für Füller. Tusche enthält Schellack und verklumpt, davon rate ich ab. Hilfreich könnte sein: 1) den herstellungsbedingten Öl-/Fettfilm auf der Feder vorm ersten Schreiben durch Abbrennen mit einem Feuerzeug beseitigen, damit die Tinte nicht vom Metall "abperlt" 2) Feder/Federhalter steiler halten; Feder tief in die Tinte eintauchen, damit gespreizte Striche (Schwellzüge) nicht zu früh "abreißen" Viel Erfolg und Grüße, Frank

Thank you Hash. That's two frequently asked questions. Please have a look at the comments to this video, there you'll find it answered at great length. Thanks again and kind regards. Frank
First of all, thanks mate. Pricing strongly depends on the complexity of the work, on how much time it takes, how many nerves ... that differs from almost nothing to almost priceless ;) I guess, you know best what price you'd be happy with. Go for it. The rest is up to the client. All the best! Frank
Vielen Dank. Die Schablone ist selbstgemacht, aus einem dünnen Stück Plastik geschnitten. Der Radierer ist ganz normal. Wenn die Tinte beim Radieren an einigen Stellen verwischt, ist sie womöglich noch nicht ganz eingetrocknet (kann selbst nach mehreren Stunden noch der Fall sein). Habe auch erlebt, dass Tinten die schon länger offen waren beim Trocknen ewig schmierende Ablagerungen bildeten, die das Radieren gar nicht mehr erlaubten. Und natürlich bloß keine Tusche verwenden! Viele Grüße, Frank
For this kind of lettering the nib should be pointed and flexible. But to use suitable ink and paper is important, too. Please have a look at the list of materials at 4:54. Cheers, Frank
LeftGunner22 Oh yes. It is calligraphy, or now a days, calligraffiti for some. It its also used for graphic designs, but for wall paintings, flyers, poster-art etc..
Vielen Dank. Im Video verwende ich eine "J. Klaps Feder" EF von Carl Kuhn & Co. Wien. Ebenfalls bestens geeignet für die englische Schreibschrift ist die "Principal" EF von D. Leonardt & Co. England (kurz im Bild bei 0:51). Beide Federn werden meines Wissens in dieser Qualität heute nicht mehr hergestellt. Gleiches gilt auch für die ehemals sehr guten Federn der Firma Brause & Co. Iserlohn. Falls genauere Informationen gewünscht werden, bitte ich um eine E-Mail. Viele Grüße, Frank
That's just amazing. I wonder how fluid you draw curves and how straight are lines. is there any special practice to learn it or just by time you've learnt it? you know my hand writing is awful and most of it is because my circles aren't anything like a circle and I can't draw accurate straight lines when writing at normal speed.
First of all, nice work man!! I´m really into script, a bit more tattoo related, I also do mine first by hand then I trace on the PC, but I trace it based on circles and ovals (on the PC), making this a long process, my question is, how much do you charge?
Writing and flourishing with pointed pen and ink? Sure they did, over quite a long period (16th to 19th century). Some even do till this day ;) Regards. Frank
@freiesgrafikdesign Wunderschön! :-) Darf man fragen, was für eine Art von Tinte das ist? Ich habe sowohl Füllertinte als auch Kalligraphie-Tusche probiert. Aber sobald ich die Federn nur ein wenig spreize, fließt die Tinte quasi in einem Rutsch herunter. :-(
What type of stencil did you use for doing the angle of the letters? Is there a certain name for it?(The pink one ///////) I'm interested in buying one of those...
i was wondering do you do side work like calligraphy for logos and what not? im looking to have a logo done and would love to get it done soon for my brand.
If your only going to photo shop the end result why not just do it all on the computer? And don't say you can't do Calligraphy on the computer as I know for sure you can. That being said beautiful skill, concentration and technique.
Absolutely gorgeous video I was hoping to get a tattoo with this kind of hand writing in it do you think I could send you what I want in the tattoo and you could send it back to me all pretty and everything
I purchase my pens here: - kallipos.de/kalligraphie-shop.htm - kalligraphie.ch/24-0-Online-Shop.html If these sources doesn't work for you just google "J. Klaps Feder EF" (Carl Kuhn & Co. Vienna) or "Leonardt Principal EF" (D. Leonardt & Co. England) for supply in your area. Good luck! Frank
