After watching your video, calligraphy seems quite easy. Thank you.

[mauricetankers]

I want to thank you for the simple instructions on the four strokes.

[aggresivepassivist]

Thanks for the tutorial.

The break down of lines is great. It isn't hard to find stroke charts, but to see it in video really helps.

Bigger kudos on the graph system. It's the little things, to put simply.

Great lesson.

Wow! You are an excellent teacher. You repeat, repeat, repeat. For those who want to learn how to do things the right way, that reinforcement is the path to success. In addition, the camera angle is perfect. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion. Once again, thank you.

This was a little difficult to learn UNTIL I watched your video. The lines (1-4) helped tremendously and it clicked for me. Made it sooo much easier. Thank you for making this video!

[rachelpaul]

Still think your voice is so calming😊 I didn’t stress out over getting it all correct the first time around .

[RussellFranklin-ef]

watching your video makes me want to make calligraphy but I can't wait to be able to watch it in full so it can be a motivator for me, thank you and always

[thehumblee.w.]

Very easy to follow along. Thanks for making learning blackletter so fun!

[plantboy]

I know I'm a little late, but could you do one for capital letters? I'm struggling with them.

[mikerobertson]

Good work. I've been a calligrapher for 35 years, and I've never seen a 'z' drawn that way.

[Mike-hqyb]

Dude, this is awesome. I've always been really drawn to this type of font for whatever reason. I am going out and buying pens today. Thank you!

[ghlscitel]

A letter written with blackletters, is that blackmail?

[Human_Evolution-]

I bought all the stuff you recommended and I printed your templates. Following along now. Thanks for all the free content.

[poerc]

Thank you for making this video. For years I've been terribe at gothic script but your vidoe simplifies it. I will follow your lead with the graph paper. Much appreciated!

[sylwiapawelec]

Bardzo dziękuję za ten film. Dokładnie tego potrzebowałam do nauki pisania. Dziękuję 🙂

[rathbovor]

wow thank you my friend. for sharing your techniques. most artist are scared to do this because of whatever. but giving your people some enlightenment should be what all artist need to strive for. bravo

[MarisaLacko]

This is so helpful. This video instruction was recommended by my calligraphy instructor. We learned gothic and blackletter last week and she had a video instruction, but thought that we could also get more tips from you. Thanks for a great video. I have the parallel pens in all sizes, but don''t use them much as we usually have to use the regular pen nibs in different sizes depending on the assignment. But, when I have used them, they are so easy and I just love all the ink color cartridges. Your guidelines look so easy, I think I'll have to subscribe for your freebies! Thanks so much!

[atravleratravler]

Thank you very much. The Treasure Trove has so much useful information! Very generous of you to share your skills!

[jenlelandmj]

Awesome tutorial! I love the '"s"!
The guide sheets are perfect! You've made it so much easier to practice with any nib size I want. I had been practicing without guidelines...and you can definitely tell. 😂 I just purchased the 3.0 Pilot Parallel, but already had the other sizes. (you said you were using the 3.0 but I think you're using the 3.8 🤭)
I also just received the 3 pack of ink refills you mention in your supplies list, and the colors are beautiful. And at a great price point. Amazing content in your Free Treasure Trove for sure!
Thanks Tamer!!! I definitely needed all of this!

I just stumbled upon this video while looking for advanced techniques on 3D and op-art calligraffic styles. I've dabbled with calligraphy and letterforms my entire life, largely self-taught so far as I can remember. While I found no revelations in this video I feel compelled to compliment your teaching style and simplistic breakdown of the strokes. I might have to discipline myself to pen an entire alphabet with no flourishes whatsoever, easier said than done, as I'm sure you're aware. Thanks so much for staying true to the art and articulating that which I can't because it's just second nature to me now. Have a fantastic day.
