    Next time you do something similar with charcoal , remember that you can use that charcoal , grind it up , then get some wood sap , then melt the sap and add the charcoal , then mix them up (remember that you shouldn't put it on strong fire , because you don't want for the sap to start boiling) , and then take a stick and put the glue you made on it , then let it set. What you get after it hardens is pretty much like hot glue , except it's black and when you want to glue something with it , you need to warm it up (don't put it on strong fire , the charcoal mixed with the sap will burn and ruin it).

      Considering the tons of American cultural pieces in his home, he is not denouncing his culture to become "Japanese". Also, he is not attempting to learn Japanese culture through Anime or Manga, so he is not a weeb in that sense either. I think he just wanted to learn Caligraphy and decided to go to its earliest roots.

  • @sweetasbloodredjam
    @sweetasbloodredjam 7 лет назад +11

    The bit with the brush hurt a little. You never ever cut a brush. The only way it will give a precise stroke is if it still has the natural tip of the hair and the ink/paint is able to travel down the hair towards the tip. A cut hair results in a flat edge that can't transfer the ink properly. You will end up with a total mess if you actually try to write anything with it, as all the ends just spread and scratch over the paper.
    Seeing that brushmaking is an actual craft still practiced by hand today, it really shouldn't have been hard to put a little more reseach in.

    Pencil lead is made from graphite and clay. Fun fact, an ex Napolean soldier first used clay and water in pencil lead to change the lightness or darkness of the residue left behind. Also, in 1564 a mine was discovered in Britshland full of coal and graphite. People wrote with this, but it kept breaking. As a result, people started rapping string around the actual writing material and eventually wooden tubes to hold it. In case you haven't picked it up yet, I know the history of pencils, (Edit) and there's way more history that I didn't spill yet.

    I feel like a charcoal pencil could be more easily made by using a cloth cover rather than inserting the charcoal into wood. Saturate a piece of fabric with glue or resin, roll the charcoal tightly inside, and let it dry and harden. Sharpen and use. This is also what I would do, as I don't have power tools and drills to use.

      @AURESHION 6 лет назад +1

      Japan uses the Chinese alphabet (kanji) in combination with their own characters (hiragana and katakana).
      Kanji is used to:
      -Shorten words
      Despite common belief, Japanese symbols (characters) do not form full words. their characters represent sounds (like "go", "ka" "shi" or "wa").
      There are some exceptions where words are very short. like "go" (five) that can be written in one character, even in hiragana. which is their easiest script.
      -Emphasize contextual meaning
      some Japanese words have more than 20 different meanings depending on the context used. for example, "omou" directly translates to "to think". but is also used to describe most actions where thought is primarily used (things like dreaming, deciding, hoping, etc.)
      -Write names
      This way names that are pronounced the same can have a different meaning. much like how other words have multiple interpretations.
      There might be more reasons they use it. but these are all that I know from the top of my head. (and I can't be bothered to google it)
      Also, sorry if my English isn't that great. it's not my first language.

    Your videos are very well made and super interesting. I think what is holding you back from becoming a popular channel though is your dullness

    The ink would probably be better (thicker, less chunky) if you used carbon black instead of crushed charcoal.

    I'm curious, is horse hair the ideal type to make a brush out of? What about human hair?

    • @PupCake1025
      @PupCake1025 7 лет назад

      I believe it depends on the texture of the hair. Human hair brushes are certainly possible, but some textures are less practical than others (I've really only ever seen it be done with straight hair, presumably because curly hair wouldn't produce the best results). I don't think it's very common because most people tend to buy their paintbrushes instead of making them, but you could totally make a paintbrush out of your own hair.
