Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I was afraid to ruin my pens this way. Actually youtube doesn't show your video in search, but I found it via googling. I love the angled version, can't wait to try it!
Asak Wrwb brother, Great tips and tricks in the video. Could you please let me where I can order these sand papers from? Also what should be the angle of the nib that should be applied. This way I can mark as so how much I need to sand. Jazak Allah Khairan. Wasak Wrwb
@@AdnanAbbasi_LXXVIII depending on your country. Check if you have online shopping and search for 600, 1200, 2000, 4000. You can go 1400 .. the important ones are 2000 and above. The angles are: Ruqaa, Diwani 25 degrees. Naskh, Thuluth 35 degrees. Farsi 55 degrees.
Thank you! This got me wondering, what does the slanted tip achieve exactly in Arabic calligraphy pens? Is it to make the pen easier to hold, ie if the tip were flat we would need to hold the pen more perpendicularly to the paper?
Yes.. the reason is the comfortable hold you get from cutting it with an angle. Another reason would be the shape you get from each cut. I could make a video in it inshallah.
@@amw60 For some reason I'm having a hard time imagining the slanted tip's effect on the shape, so that vid would be helpful. BTW I've made two calligraphy pens from pilot pens thanks to your video today! Shukran!
another thing ive learned is that you can better see what youre writing this way. in drawing, youre generally taught to hold the pen/pencil with an overhand grip+hold it far from the tip -this lets you see what youre drawing as you draw, instead of letting your hand cover up the page as you draw. now in calligraphy, writing wirh a pen that is not sanded (as the original pilot pen is), you must hold the pen perpendicular to the page - this almost necessitates that your hand will unfortunately cover up what youre writing as you write it. the angle mu'alimna created in the video allows you to hold the pen at an angle so you can more easier see how your composition looks as you create it. Just another perspective i thought id share !
it's quicker to test it while making it. You can have a cartridge inside, but it'll be wasting ink while sanding it and you might not see the fine details as it'll be covered with ink. In this video I think I simply didn't want to use the cartridge during the process.
Is this grind same as italic or left oblique? Or there is a difference. What should be instructions to the persons who is modifying it for me since he is not well versed with urdu / arabic script.🙏💐
If you mean the Italic script then yes it is similar. Just google a picture of a calligraphy pen and print it. This will give you the angle that anyone can understand and make.
For writing the angle is 45 degree. For the cutting of the pen take fourth the thickness and mark it on the other side and cut it. It's easier than trying to mark th angle.
@@mohammadayoubwaniayoubwani4075 the pilot parallel pen has cartridges and you can definitely use it without dipping. You can't use it with traditional ink made out of soot without cleaning it after each use.
@@amw60 Thank You kindly for the reply It was for Naskh script that I was intending to use it for. Also do you do any videos on particularly Naskh Script Thank You
Yes you can use it with any type and dipping is fine. Try this: Use two different colours for example yellow and red, dip in the yellow for a while then dip shortly in the red and see the beautiful grading while writing. I can say that this pen is by far the best one for practice and creativity.
