Very artistic. Many people mistakingly believe that calligraphy is merely a fancy form of quick writing when in fact, it is a slow, deliberate art lettering format that takes a great deal of practice and time to achieve proficiency.
I would LOVE to see you do a whole alphabet this way, lower and upper case cos this was so wonderful to watch. So hypnotising. I wouldve watched for hours more yet, just to see you writing this beautiful text. Tibby x
My father worked at the White House from Kennedy through Carter as the Chief of the Social Office. He was the head calligrapher and was responsible for all the calligraphic art work that was required by the White House for things like place settings at State dinners along with the menus.As a kid I watched him for countless hours at the slant topped desk effortlessly produce some the world's best calligraphy. I recognize this gentleman's skill when he writes the word Gothic. Very impressive.
I think the only reason I passed my elementary school classes is I used to decorate all my pages with fancy borders and added serifs to my letters--otherwise I would have failed all the tests!
Now I know why it took those monks SOOOOO long to write those scriptures... Very Graceful, steady hand, and beautiful work. Consider becoming a Surgeon!
This is called PERFECTION... When you try to perfect work, and then after long, very long, you get such a good finish that it looks like it's been printed on a computer... That's what I think about this work.
I just drew this freehand and with a ruler for more accuracy on the straight lines...wow, it was cool to draw but I hope I get the hang of this ....I always loved this exact style of lettering. It is by far in a class by itself!
I love the art of calligraphy, I'm seriously considering buying me a beginners set with a few books but does it seriously always take freaking 7 minutes to just write one word??? No offense to guy writing I know he has more skill and talent than I do in my pinky but what I'm really asking is, does calligraphy in general always take this long to just write one letter or this is just how this guy and most people generally do it? Cause I'm sure it must feel very satisfying when your done writing a page but is it worth it when it takes all day and hours into the night?
It does not always take this long. This guy for one thing is just showing how he does it. Once you practice a lot it comes as natural as regular handwriting. Obviously for beginners its going to take more time you just got to practice a lot.
Baby Jesus Also, consider the spiritual art behind calligraphy: It is not solely about what you see on the paper in the end, but also about your connection to the paper and ink, your pen and yourself while you commit to it. It is very meditative and as they say: A real calligrapher will be able to tell how much soul and passion you put into the work. Even if it may look nice to an amateur, the true value lies in the spirit.
It's a dip pen. At the end, it says he's using a "Brause & Co. Bandzug nib (5mm)". That's the metal part that writes (the nib). It's inserted into a holder. He dips the nib in ink. At the end, he uses a small flexible nib to do the flourishes. You can buy a nib, holder, and a bottle of ink for $10 at your local art supply store.
The capital letter was not large enough in proportion to the small letters. The flourishes on all the small letters were inconsistent with one singular style. Instead, four or five different finishes were used. This person is definitely a novice to the Black Letter form called Gothic and it is obvious in this video. The strokes are four times slower than they have to be to provide a proper ink flow and finishes on the letters. For a beginner it is forgivable, however for a professional it is very immature and lacks in theory and practice of the technique. The paper is ruled in a strange cage pattern, showing that a person cannot write simple vertical lines without a help of a visual pencil line. Practice makes it perfect.
you get so used to just see it on the computer, thinking "wow that is crazy font". And here's this guy, doing the exact font, only with a pen and paper...and it makes it look so easy, because in the end it just looks like it was printed off the computer :O amazing stuff
I m also calligrapher ! And l learn more than more this style ! I m impressed his free hand rythm ! Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!! I m jameel jabbari from Delhi ( india ) .
Never thought watching you write would be so relaxing...... *cheers* I do the same thing in pencil, shadowing the thicker parts...need the security of the eraser....haha
I watch these videos, wondering if I will ever get even close to this good. The thing is, I only started about 1 year ago. I envy these people but I should't.
This is not actually calligraphy. It's lettering. He didn't write the letter "G" he drew it. That makes the whole work a lettered construct. Although I absolutely love it. The precision and control he has over his tool is incredible. Will try to recreate it 😉
I dislike the comments about this style of writing being inefficient or that a computer could do the same and in a lot less time. Calligraphy is an art. People do this because they enjoy it and it looks beautiful. I don't think typing on a keyboard would be as much fun. I did take calligraphy in high school and I thought it was amazing; it is sad that I am not that good anymore.
I17. I wrote with my left hand when I was a child/teen, but, when I was 19 years old, I watched a video by Nan Jay Batchowski, a handwriting expert, and she stated that it’s difficult to hold a writing utensil with your left hand. I tried writing with my right hand, and it was difficult at first, but, as the days passed by, I got better, so now I am ambidextrous. You can do it too, it just takes time and practice.
I agree with tarantula619. I began teaching myself calligraphy when I was seventeen. And it helped me to support myself as an independent sign painter for eleven years. Old English, Lydian Cursive and Celtic are the ones that I know best. I have been thinking of doing some videos on it. Long live the lost arts and those who learn them. 1wordywoman
It's truly amazing that it takes seven minutes to write a six letter word. What patience he must have! I would have stabbed myself with the nib before I had to write any long passage like this!
WE GET IT!!!! YOU'RE BETTER THAN US!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOVE IT IN OUR FACES!!!! LMAO Not really, It's an amazing skill to have that sort of patience(I would have screamed and threw the pen thingy at the wall and gave up) and write it so beautifully. Amazing job I must say.
Ever since I started watching these kinds of videos I see fonts differently. I finally understand why they look the way they do.
The impressive part is not the Calligraphy but the fact that you're also holding the camera in your left hand.
Not to be a party pooper but he couldn't have been holding the camera since he was using it for the ruler at one point.
Correction: he has three hands, diddnt you know ?
@@tally8443 mind blowing
You guys too impatient for this? Get on Instagram where videos are sped up. This is RUclips. This man in making art.
PERFECTION!!! So satisfying, I didn't want it to end.
"Sir, i need your signature here, here, here aaaand here"
This is so soothing to my perfectionist soul.
Very artistic. Many people mistakingly believe that calligraphy is merely a fancy form of quick writing when in fact, it is a slow, deliberate art lettering format that takes a great deal of practice and time to achieve proficiency.

And there is difference in words "to write" and "to draw".
I have been watching these for about 2 hours rip

BRILLIANT A TRUE ARTIST. DOES NOT SPEED ALONG AND THE MUSIC GOES PERFECTLY WITH THIS. THANK YOU XX
Do I need to put opera when I write like this?
Yes it makes everything more significant
Götterdämmerung
Grobbekee read that as god damn lettering hahaha totally laughed
it helps
Return of the King sountrack helps.
i love this.. its so calming
I think now I know why they didn't had many books back then...
for some reason I can watch videos like this and be totally encapsulated but then fall asleep every time I have to learn something in school
I tried writing like this in my exams.............only got 3 lines done
I think the only reason I passed my elementary school classes is I used to decorate all my pages with fancy borders and added serifs to my letters--otherwise I would have failed all the tests!

Love this 😂
Ha Ha I will always remember that phrase
actually its the what not to do at a red light quiz where he just writes the but very close your reference is from the extra credit episode

I LOVE gothic calligraphy!
If you take calligraphy as a serious practice your wrist is holy and it should be canonized by the Vatican.
Watching your every single stroke makes my heart beat rapidly
Absolutely beautiful! I could watch this for hours.
this perfection is hypnotizing
+Silmarien Ingoldo Aye, like I'm watching it expecting a mistake to occur...
Silmarien Ingoldo .
who's watching in 2019?
video 11 yrs ago. :D
fettucini fettucini me
You have a very steady hand. Impeccable penmanship
the way you have the music in da background makes it look like ur creating life itself
You don't need a dip pen to write like this, guys. Check out Pilot Parallel fountain pen.
Dat Crescent from G! Omg. I can't do it.
All I can say is: Very Artistic design.....I owed your great ideas. This is one of my skills that's why I'm one of your FAN!!!!!!
It’s done so perfectly and together with this music it is truly sootning and relaxing
Beautiful lettering, but that music was killing me.
Very elegant! :)
Very nice example showing how to do the ornamentation. One side note - camera on a tripod would really make this a lot better!
I just drew this freehand and with a ruler for more accuracy on the straight lines...wow, it was cool to draw but I hope I get the hang of this ....I always loved this exact style of lettering. It is by far in a class by itself!

I think there's a calligraphy box kit and a CD for beginners at "Barnes and Nobles" for just around $15.
Been hand lettering for 30+ years...cursive can be done much faster!
@Hamid Reza Erahimi Sir, you truly are a master!
+Hamid Reza Ebrahimi When paper and ink make love, you are the chaperone!
acually the most beautiful thing i have seen in the art world.
one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched, I'm in total awe
amazing hand writing.. love it
what tip did you use for this?
LOL - watch the end of the video he lists it explicitly.
@@cldavis33 I was about to ask the same... I'll wait to the end then. LOL
How long does it take to write a letter whis this?
Ummm about 25 Years
+jay7022 What can he do?
It's art... It's perfection
I'm not making fun of it I'm saying it takes a long time
You only need the same pen nib and the rest is only possible practicing

This is almost as relaxing as The Joy of Painting is
the music so amazing.
could you tell me the song name..?
The song is "tribute" from the Greek musician "Yanni"
K
If I wrote my test in that writing :D
chi sà disegnare, è padrone del mondo...beato te...meraviglioso!
Just when I thought it couldn't get any more fabulous... You broke out the fine nib quill. Very impressive. :)

+Alex Stas ok thanks for your expert analysis...
No one asked for your opinion you virgin. This shit was sick
Even though you could be right, I think there are a lot of different styles of letters, people write the way the want.
Sueño con algún día lograr tal perfección, gracias maestro.
I was eating popcorn and I spit it out with those BEAUTIFUL letters!
you get so used to just see it on the computer, thinking "wow that is crazy font". And here's this guy, doing the exact font, only with a pen and paper...and it makes it look so easy, because in the end it just looks like it was printed off the computer :O
amazing stuff
I m also calligrapher !
And l learn more than more this style ! I m impressed his free hand rythm ! Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!

What a masterpiece. People realy should write like that more...
That's fucking incredible! It almost makes me want to throw my computer out the window and go back to my pens and books forever.
Your so talented. I can't believe people can actually do that. Great job!! :)
the uplifting and inspirational music makes this so much funnier.
Doing a whole book like that in ye olden days must have taken ages!
I don't know why...but I like watching theses calligraphy videos
This makes you truly appreciate to works of blackletter typography.
Never thought watching you write would be so relaxing...... *cheers*
I do the same thing in pencil, shadowing the thicker parts...need the security of the eraser....haha
Pero alto capo con la pluma!! Es un arte que no debería perderse...
tienes un ángel o dos ángeles en tus manos, sos un gran artista, felicitaciones Hamid Reza Ebrahimi.
The Beauty of this Blows my Mind.
really SUPERB!!! Totally fan of yours.
Masterful and I do love the word Gothic.
i love how he pulls out a pink ruler
Great work. If I only I could make myself patient enough to take that much time on each letter.
That's just fuckin beautiful. I admire your patience.
... and this is excellent. good form, good construction, good control. Excellent pen manipulation.... suberb!
I just watched a seven minute video about handwriting and I somehow didn't get bored.
I cam from related videos watching how its made videos then how pens are made and I ended up here, this is awesome :D
7 minutes of art.... utterly amazing
It's really beautiful. I also dedicate this to the calligraphy gothic and I like a lot.
I am still new to this but thanks to your exercise I learned.
I watch these videos, wondering if I will ever get even close to this good. The thing is, I only started about 1 year ago. I envy these people but I should't.
Congratulation, i loved it...thank u for show to world your art...
super clean bro..you should do more of your gothic styles videos...really clean
Beyond illustration, calligraphy is MEDITATION...
This is not actually calligraphy. It's lettering. He didn't write the letter "G" he drew it. That makes the whole work a lettered construct. Although I absolutely love it. The precision and control he has over his tool is incredible. Will try to recreate it 😉

Worth watching. simply beautiful.

That's what I was thinking the whole time during this.
Writing is a wonderfull art, It's a shame so few people bother to learn how to write like this anymore.
wow.............impressive work...I will also try this
It's truly amazing that it takes seven minutes to write a six letter word. What patience he must have! I would have stabbed myself with the nib before I had to write any long passage like this!
